When I first began helping people transform their skin, I didn’t set out to sell products, promise miracles, or chase trends. I set out to answer a deeper question:

What if healing dry skin was not about fighting it, but understanding it?

Over the years, through personal experience and working with men and women across the world, I’ve learned something powerful - dry skin isn’t just a surface issue. It’s your body trying to tell you something.

And when we listen with care, when we respond with nourishment, kindness, and intention - the skin changes.

Not just how it looks, but how it feels… and how we feel in it.

The Skin Speaks - We Just Need to Listen

Dry skin often shows up when we’re depleted - when life has asked too much and we’ve put ourselves last.

You may notice:

Fine lines appearing overnight
A tight, uncomfortable feeling that no cream seems to fix
A dullness, not just in the skin, but in how we feel about ourselves

And I’ve been there. I’ve worked with people who felt like their skin was betraying them, as though their age was stealing something they once took for granted.

But here’s what I’ve seen, again and again -

When we take a holistic approach to dry skin, everything begins to shift.

Why My Holistic Approach To Dry Skin Works

The truth is, you can’t fix dry skin by just putting another product on top. You have to nourish it from the inside out, support it from the outside in, and soothe it from the inside of your mind and heart.

That’s why my books - Face Value, Face Fitness and Face Food, all work together as one complete system and a holistic approach to dry skin.

Here’s how:

1. We Feed the Skin, Not Just Cover It

In Face Food, I show how natural foods such as avocado, olive oil, chia seeds, berries can act as internal moisturisers. What you eat become the building blocks for your skin’s elasticity, softness, and glow.

Dry skin often starts in the kitchen, not the bathroom.

2. We Touch the Skin With Respect

In Face Fitness, I teach gentle facial yoga and massage techniques that lift and firm the skin without pain or pressure. Touch is healing when it’s done with love.

Just five minutes a day can reawaken your circulation, move lymphatic fluid, and naturally soften the appearance of wrinkles.

3. We Use Nature’s Simplicity

In Face Value Heal I shows how the ingredients in your kitchen, used with purpose and rhythm, can rebuild the skin’s moisture barrier and restore balance, often better than any cream.

You don’t need dozens of products. You just need the right skincare rituals, and the skin begins to glow again.

A New Kind of Beauty Ritual

Every book I’ve written shares a common message:

· You don’t need to fight your face to love it.

· And you don’t need to fear aging to feel beautiful in your skin.

· When we treat our skin as something sacred, not broken, it begins to respond.

· Not because we’ve fixed it, but because we’ve listened.

This Is More Than Skincare

For me, this journey has never been about the desire to look youthful, but a return to wholeness.

It has been about helping women (and men) remember that their beauty is never lost - it’s just waiting to be reclaimed, through care, intention, and nourishment.

If your skin is dry, depleted, or tired I invite you to explore this holistic path.

Because it doesn’t just change your skin. It changes the relationship you have with yourself.

It’s in the way you treat yourself and your skin with kindness and love.
