“I moisturise 3 times a day but my skin is still dry” is one of the most common things I hear in the clinic 🧴

The problem usually isn’t the products. It’s the order.
Moisturiser doesn’t hydrate your skin. It seals moisture in. If there’s nothing underneath it, it has nothing to seal.

Here’s the order that actually works:
1. Non-stripping cleanser
2. Hydrating serum on damp skin. 
3. Moisturiser on top to lock it in.
4. SPF in the morning.
5. A heavier moisturiser in the evening if needed.

Try this for 7 days. Your skin will feel completely different.
Save this so you actually remember the order. ❤️

You might think you have dry skin… but do you actually? 🤍

There’s a big difference between true dry skin, dehydrated skin, and a damaged barrier… and treating the wrong one won’t get you the results you’re after.

Signs of true dry skin: 

▪️Flaky and matte in appearance 
▪️Thin, almost parchment-like texture 
▪️Feels taut and tight 
▪️Easily irritated 
▪️Milia around the eyes, temples and upper cheeks

If that sounds like you, here’s what actually helps:

✅ Swap to a cream, balm or milk cleanser - ditch anything foamy or stripping
✅Use a lipid-rich moisturiser with ceramides, cholesterol and essential fatty acids
✅ Support your skin from within - eat a diet rich in omegas and fatty acids 
✅Always finish with SPF - dry skin shows UV damage faster

NOOANCE 💡A newer mask that’s getting increasingly popular… and after looking at the specs, I can see why.

254 LEDs, flexible silicone, built-in eye protection, and crucially a full technical sheet. Transparent specs are genuinely rare in this space, and it makes a real difference when you’re trying to evaluate a device properly.
No blue light, but as we’ve covered in this series, that’s only relevant if acne is a concern and it’s appropriate for your skin.

At £499 it’s the most expensive mask I cover in this series. But if your budget stretches to it, it earns its price tag more honestly than most.

Let’s talk about the Spectra Light SpectraWear Pro by Dr Dennis Gross 💫

Dermatologist-created sounds impressive. But does it actually mean the device is more effective? Not necessarily.

It’s a powerful, rigid device and it does offer amber light. But amber isn’t a wavelength with strong clinical backing, so that’s not the selling point it might appear to be.
At £465 it sits at a higher price point, and for what it offers, it wouldn’t be my first recommendation.

There are better options for the investment.

CurrentBody Series 2 💡✨ One of the most searched LED masks out there but does it actually deliver?

This mask ticks a lot of the right boxes. Flexible silicone, a separate chin piece for better fit, red and near infrared wavelengths with tested accuracy, and technology that’s actually backed by evidence.

No blue light (but unless you have acne and it’s appropriate for your skin, you don’t need it) 

At £399.99 it’s one of the more accessible options at this level, and it’s genuinely comfortable to wear consistently. Consistency is everything with LED.

A solid all-rounder.

The Ordinary is one of the best budget ranges out there.

These are three of my expert-approved picks and what they’re actually best for… because powerful actives used incorrectly won’t give you the results you’re looking for.
