The Dermal Journal

Being in the industry for over 15 years, I hear the same thing in every single skin consultation from confused clients. They don’t know what products to use, skin treatments to have or have had a bad experience getting a treatment, following trends and influencers but their skin does not improve. . And the list goes on!!! So I decided that I need to start a podcast to really help the consumers out there. I want to educate you, advise you and help you navigate this heavily flooded, unregulated industry of Skin & Skincare. It can be so overwhelming when it comes to treating your skin condition or even just looking after your skin with the right products. I am here to deconstruct and break it all down so you have a better understanding of it all.

It's not the Procedure It's the Practitioner
