That little breakout you’ve been trying very hard not to touch?

We get it. The temptation to squeeze, pick or keep checking it in the mirror is real.

But repeatedly touching a breakout can add unnecessary trauma to already irritated skin and may contribute to more inflammation, redness, dark marks or scarring.

So what can you do instead?

🤍 Keep your hands off
🤍 Cleanse gently
🤍 Avoid over-treating the area
🤍 Keep your routine simple
🤍 Give your skin time to settle

And if you need a little help resisting the urge to pick, a hydrocolloid pimple patch can create a protective barrier over the area and help reduce touching. They’re generally most useful for surface-level breakouts rather than deeper, under-the-skin spots.

Because sometimes, the best thing you can do for your skin is less.

If breakouts or other aesthetic concerns are something you'd like to discuss, **book a consultation with Dr Aria** to talk through your concerns and explore treatment options tailored to your individual needs.

📌 Save this for your next breakout.

Healthy hair is influenced by more than just the products you use.

Everyday habits such as getting enough protein, limiting excessive heat styling, avoiding prolonged tension from tight hairstyles, managing stress, and protecting your scalp from UV exposure can all play a role in supporting your overall hair health.

If you've noticed changes such as increased shedding, reduced volume, or your hair not feeling as healthy as it once did, it's worth seeking professional advice. Hair changes can have many possible causes, and understanding what's contributing to them is the first step towards exploring appropriate treatment options.

At Aesthetics by Aria, every consultation is tailored to your individual needs, giving you the opportunity to discuss your concerns and learn about the options that may be suitable for you.

Hair thinning can happen gradually, making it easy to overlook the early signs.

If you've noticed increased hair shedding, a widening part line, or your hair feeling less full than it once did, it may be worth seeking professional advice.

Hair thinning can have many possible causes, including hormonal changes, stress, genetics, nutritional factors, ageing, or certain medical conditions. Understanding what's contributing to your concerns is the first step towards exploring appropriate treatment options.

At Aesthetics by Aria, every consultation is personalised to your individual needs, allowing us to assess your concerns and discuss the options that may be suitable for you.

**Skin fasting... trend or truth? 👀**

You may have seen the term *skin fasting* on social media, but what does it actually mean?

Skin fasting is the practice of taking a break from some or all of your skincare products to allow your skin to "reset". The idea is that using fewer products may help restore your skin's natural balance.

So, does it work?

The answer depends on your skin.

If your skin feels irritated or overwhelmed from using too many active ingredients, simplifying your routine for a period of time may be beneficial. However, that doesn't necessarily mean stopping skincare altogether.

For most people, a few skincare essentials remain important:
✨ A gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and impurities.
✨ A moisturiser to support the skin barrier and reduce moisture loss.
✨ A broad-spectrum SPF to help protect your skin from UV damage during the day, even in winter.

Current evidence doesn't suggest that completely stopping skincare leads to healthier skin for everyone. Instead, a consistent routine tailored to your skin's needs is often the most effective approach.

If you're unsure whether your routine is helping your skin or causing irritation, a personalised consultation can help you understand what your skin truly needs.

Dryness, tightness, dullness... sound familiar? ❄️

Winter can be tough on your skin. Cooler temperatures, lower humidity, and indoor heating can reduce moisture in the skin, leaving it feeling dry, tight, or looking less radiant.

If you ticked one or more boxes in our Winter Skin Check, your skin may simply be responding to the change in season.

Supporting your skin barrier with gentle skincare, adequate hydration, and a routine suited to your skin's needs can make a real difference.

Not sure where to start? A personalised skin consultation can help you better understand your skin and choose a routine that's right for you.

Ceramides are often overlooked because they're not the ingredient that promises dramatic results overnight. Yet they're one of the most important components of healthy skin.

Your skin naturally contains ceramides, but levels gradually decline with age and can also be affected by factors such as UV exposure, harsh weather, over-cleansing and over-exfoliation.

When ceramide levels are reduced, your skin barrier may become less effective. This can contribute to moisture loss and leave skin feeling dry, tight or more sensitive.

That's why many dermatologists recommend ceramides as the foundation of a skincare routine, particularly if your skin feels compromised or you're using active ingredients such as retinol or exfoliating acids. Rather than replacing these ingredients, ceramides work alongside them by helping support the skin barrier.

Sometimes, the best skincare isn't about adding more products. It's about supporting your skin's natural ability to function at its best.

If you're ready to build a skincare routine tailored to your unique skin, we're here to help.

Can you actually shrink your pores?

It's one of the most common skincare questions we hear.

The short answer is no. Pores don't open and close, and you can't permanently shrink them. Their size is largely influenced by genetics, skin type and the natural ageing process.

However, while you can't change the size of your pores, you may be able to reduce their appearance by supporting your overall skin health.

Here are a few ways to help:

✨ Keep your skin clean. A gentle, consistent skincare routine can help minimise the build-up of oil and dead skin cells that may make pores appear more noticeable.

☀️ Wear SPF every day. UV exposure contributes to skin ageing, which can affect skin firmness and make pores appear more prominent over time.

🧴 Use skincare that's appropriate for your skin type. Ingredients such as niacinamide, salicylic acid and retinoids may help improve the appearance of pores for some people when used appropriately.

💧 Avoid over-exfoliating. Overusing exfoliating products can disrupt your skin barrier, leading to irritation and sensitivity.

Visible pores are completely normal, and everyone has them. Rather than aiming for "perfect" skin, focus on maintaining healthy skin with a routine that's right for you.

If you're unsure where to start, a personalised consultation can help you better understand your skin and discuss the products or treatments that may be appropriate for your individual needs.

Healthy skin isn’t just about the products you use or the treatments you have. Your everyday habits can also play a role in how your skin looks and feels over time.

While ageing is a natural process, simple lifestyle choices can help support your skin’s overall health.

Looking after your skin doesn’t have to mean making big changes overnight. Small, consistent habits can make a difference.

✨ Which habit are you going to work on first? Let us know in the comments.

You've probably heard of "collagen banking"...

But what does it actually mean?

Despite the name, collagen banking isn't about "storing" collagen. It's a popular term used to describe supporting your skin's natural collagen production over time.

Collagen is the protein that gives your skin structure, firmness and elasticity. From our mid-20s onwards, our natural collagen production gradually begins to slow. Lifestyle factors such as UV exposure, smoking and nutrition can also influence how quickly this happens.

While we can't stop the natural ageing process, we can make choices that help support healthy skin over time.

That's why you'll often hear the phrase "collagen banking". It's less about chasing trends and more about building healthy habits and choosing a skincare approach that's appropriate for your individual skin.

Remember, there's no "perfect" age to start. The best time depends on your skin, your concerns and your goals.

If you're unsure where to begin, a personalised consultation can help you better understand your skin and discuss the options that may be suitable for you.
