Skin Is More Than Skin Deep
Skin isn’t just surface-level. It’s not vanity, and it’s not just what we see in the mirror. For me, skin has always been the story of what’s going on underneath, the stress, the sleep (or lack of it), the meals I’ve grabbed on the go, the heartbreaks, and the wins.
I’ve worked with skin for years, and the same frustrations come up again and again:
“I’m doing all the right things but still struggling with flare-ups.”
“My skin feels like it’s telling a story I don’t want it to.”
“I’m tired of quick fixes that don’t last.”
I’ve been there too. Juggling kids, clinic work, rugby weekends, and the grief of losing my dad, all whilst trying to keep my own skin and health in balance. And honestly, part of the reason this book exists is because of him.
My dad gave me a little nudge when I needed it most. He reminded me that I had a story worth telling and knowledge worth sharing. He encouraged me to put pen to paper when life felt heavy, to turn all the conversations we had had late at night into something that could help others.
Skin won’t heal in a body that’s inflamed, exhausted, or undernourished. That’s why inside-out skin health matters so much. When we support membranes, micronutrients, the gut, and the nervous system, our skincare products suddenly look like geniuses, because the cells can listen.
This isn’t a textbook. It’s real life. Inside, you will find,
The Gut–Skin Connection → how your microbiome influences flare-ups, dryness, and glow.
Lunchbox Lessons → simple, practical nutrition swaps for busy lives.
Female Health & Skin Support → from teen acne to perimenopausal skin changes.
Skin Barrier Support → why barrier health starts with cellular balance.
'The Skin We Live In' is for anyone who has tried “all the things” and still feels stuck. That person who wants results that last longer than a jar of cream. For everyone who is ready to understand the why behind their skin story.
This isn’t about perfect skin. It’s about understanding your skin, your health, and yourself and finally giving your body the inside-out support it’s been craving.
