Well I have to say that it is not often that I have to "Eat My Words".

For years I’ve dismissed claims that collagen supplements help the skin produce collagen. The basis for my distain came from the fact that any food or supplement once consumed will be broken down into its smallest nutritional units and then remade into whatever the body chooses. The idea that a fibre of collagen from a cow or pig could make its way into your body and then deposit itself in the skin was preposterous to me! 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧...

Plant Based?

The beginning of the year is the time when I reflect and re-evaluate my choices. It’s an ideal time to refocus, make plans and adjustments for both personal and professional improvement. It always feels like a fresh start, with the excitement and anticipation of what the year ahead might bring. Interestingly, my Facebook feed suddenly became plant based. From the benefits of longevity, to tissue regeneration to clearer thinking. So naturally, it got me thinking. If it can do this on an interna...

Can you Really Heal your Skin Through Internal Nutritional Support? | Louise Gray

I am obsessed with skin health. It is the correlation between what is happening internally within the body, with what is happening externally that fascinates me.Having worked extensively in intensive care, you realise how the body works as a whole and that you cannot compartmentalise things. I believe that our body is like a finely tuned orchestra, working in unison to create a balanced repertoire. Imagine leaving out the percussion section at the end of an aria, it will never sound the same.&nb...

In addition, I have taught electrolysis at the Joyce Blok Institute and was proud to be selected to head a professional panel as part of a BeautyTech conference. I have seen firs...
