The Cleansing Academy

By changing the way you cleanse your skin, the micro organisms that create our barrier multiply to create a strong healthy surface, free of unwanted breakout, redness and irritation.

I help thousands of clients yearly to achieve their skin goals by simply editing their cleansing routine so that they can have clear, healthy problem free skin.

Consider your skin goal "CLEAN SKIN"

Rosacea - My personal 25 years of experience says - ,many medical providers are too quick to label a sensitive and red skin as Rosacea which quite frankly annoys me because it under plays the serious nature of the skin disorder a percentage of people truely 'SUFFER' with!

Yes they are functionally brilliant easy to use, throw away (lets talk about this environmental blunder later) and effective, whilst questionable at removing makeup in one quick wipe they are riddled with chemicals that enable this process

Here we are thinking we are doing the most amazing job washing our face morning and night following the guidance of your Skin Therapist, Social Media Influencer or your Mother's home grown advice however its highly likely in all that cleaning you are just adding more bacteria.

Put in simple terms TEWL is the process of water moving through the deep cells to the surface and evaporating in an accelerated rate. Why is this a bad thing, you may ask?

It not only leaves your skin depleted, it shows tell tale signs of a disfunctional cleansing and hydration routine.

The key to treating the common skin condition Keratosis Pilaris is understanding why it happens - an excess growth of cascading skin cells. Best way to treat this is a combination of exfoliation and hydration. Gentle removal everyday with the foam like fibre found in The Cleansing Cloth's skin shammy is key. Combine this with physical or chemical exfoliation and adequate skincare products the swipe and clear that The cleansing cloth provides is the perfection solution to Keratosis Pilaris.

The average client spends between $1500-$3000 per year on skincare and skin treatments - think top level ingredients and clinically proven laser and rejuvenation machinery yet they wash their face completely wrong!

Most of us either splash remove makeup and cleansing product or we use fabric fibred face washers. (lets not even talk about makeup pads and wipes ohhh dear)!

A decade or more ago it was all about polishing the surface EXFOLIATE EXFOLIATE EXFOLIATE in return we now see skin cells that only know how to survive under wafer thing existence (this is NOT good) and a human who desires super smooth, perfectly polished, camera ready skin 24 hours a day! its over kill.

Don't get me wrong we all love to feel a little summer sun on our skin - it tends to radiate warmth through our entire bodies but living in Australia we have some of the highest rates of skin cancers and its time to take Melanoma's seriously!

As a skin technician I can confidentially say I think we have a communication barrier with the youth of all our generations.

The bikini wearing, lazy summer holidays and insta worthy images mean they lay out in the sun building that perfect summer tan line - its something to be proud of (insert shock horror). As we age I am confident to say we know better,

February is always my time for New Year changes - January is full of fun and frivolous activity - less vigorous exercise, indulgent eating and little attention to the routine of life. Feb comes around and it's back to work, back to school and back to the focus of healthy glowing clean skin.

Made from PVA material the skin shammy is a texture similiar to wetsuit material - super soft to touch and remains at a cooling temperature. The ability for it to simultaneously wipe and remove all traces of makeup and skincare products whilst leaving the skin feeling fresh and protected is what makes TCC amazing.

While many of us are extremely mindful about the skincare products we are using on the outside, there’s a vital step in our regime that we should be turning our focus to... Ingestible Beauty!

While a healthy and nutritious diet plays a valuable role for skin health, many people are simply not getting enough nutrients due to lifestyle factors, impaired nutrient absorption due to gut dysbiosis and poor dietary choices.
