Skincare SOS with Dr Sam Bunting
Hello! Back from another hiatus, I wanted to share my journey towards healthy skin with you. Scrolling through Instagram, it feels like adult acne is becoming a more widely discussed topic and as someone who has had bouts of it for the past 10+ years and tried every high street brand possible I decided enough was enough and it was time to invest in getting expert advice.
An old colleague had recommended Dr Sam Bunting and having checked out her website and amazing credentials I knew I would be in very capable and highly qualified hands. Yes, it’s expensive, but when I think back over the years of products purchased (and often not finished because they would spark worse reactions) it’s definitely money well spent.
Pre-appointment, I filled out a detailed questionnaire on my skin concerns, dietary and lifestyle habits and outlined all the products I had been using recently in what I believed to be a pretty watertight routine that *should* have resulted in healthy, clear skin.
On this occasion, I was happy to be proved (very) wrong. Dr Sam’s clear, no-jargon analysis of what was causing my skin issues and what improvements I could make to get real results was probably the best gift I could have ever given myself. Because it’s not just about having *good* skin. It makes an impact on pretty much everything; your confidence at work, around friends and family, dating (gulp...still not figured that one out but at least this makes it less daunting knowing I won’t have to cover myself in concealer pre-nights out).
I now have a brilliant step-by-step guide of what to do morning and night thanks to Dr Sam’s expert guidance and it feels bloody great!
My consultation was mid-September so it’s still early days but if you’ve been having skin woes, the best thing you can do is go see a dermatologist or ask to be referred by your GP! One of the amazing products I’m currently using is her Flawless Cleanser - it’s ultra-gentle but leaves my skin feeling so fresh, clean, bright and bouncy post-wash! Highly recommended and I already can see a difference after a few short weeks of using it.
