You’re breaking out in new areas. Your skin feels red, tight, or irritated. And the routine that used to work… suddenly doesn’t.

This kind of reaction is more common than you’d think, especially in international students. Between climate changes, stress, water quality, and lifestyle shifts, your skin is trying to adapt to a lot at once.

At St. Skin, we treat these patterns every week. And the good news? When you understand why your skin is behaving differently, you can begin to support it more effectively.

Let’s walk through what might be triggering your skin and how to bring it back into balance.

There’s something nostalgic and special about a holiday in the European sun. Long lunches, warm evenings, golden shoulders. But while you're soaking it all in, your skin could be dealing with more than you think.

Here’s what we want our clients to know before heading away:

Ever feel like your skin is trying to tell you something? It might be more than just a reaction to skincare products, it could be your hormones waving a red flag.

At St. Skin, we see it all the time: clients struggling with stubborn acne, sudden hair loss, fatigue, or unexplained weight gain. When skincare alone isn’t cutting it, we start looking under the surface and that’s where hormones come in.

Let’s break down three common hormonal imbalances we see in the clinic and how they affect your skin (and your body, too).

As the seasons shift in Melbourne, so do your skin’s needs. Autumn brings cooler temperatures and drier air, which can leave your skin feeling dehydrated, sensitive, and dull.

 The humidity of summer starts to fade, meaning moisture loss becomes more common, and your skin barrier may feel more vulnerable. Now is the time to adjust your skincare routine and treatments to strengthen, hydrate, and prepare for the colder months ahead.

At St Skin, we take a holistic approach to skin health, understanding that how you feel about yourself plays just as much of a role in your skin’s condition as what you eat or the products you use. 

Negative emotions, stress, and self-doubt can all impact your skin’s function, triggering inflammation, breakouts, and sensitivity. When you foster self-love and a positive mindset, you create the ideal environment for your skin to heal, strengthen, and glow.

At St. Skin, we believe in a holistic approach to achieving glowing, healthy skin. Internal wellness plays a foundational role in our protocols, and often, internal supplements are the first step in any client’s journey with us.

The lymphatic system plays a crucial yet often underestimated role in maintaining optimal health, particularly concerning skin wellness. 

Comprising a network of capillaries, vessels, nodes, and lymphoid organs, the lymphatic system serves as the body's drainage system, responsible for removing toxins, waste, and excess fluid from tissues. 

While it primarily functions to support the immune system, its impact on skin health is profound, influencing everything from complexion to overall radiance.

Men often overlook the importance of a proper skincare routine. However, just like women, men's skin requires attention and care to maintain its health and vitality. In this blog, we will delve into the physiological aspects of men's skin, discuss common male skin concerns, and introduce the benefits of booking a tailored facial treatment to address these concerns effectively.

As we age, our skin goes through various changes. One significant factor that influences how our skin ages is our genetics. While genetic ageing, also known as intrinsic ageing, is a natural process that we all go through, it doesn't have to define the future of our skin. With the right skincare routine and lifestyle choices, we can minimise the impact of genetic ageing and maintain healthy functioning skin into the future.

Collagen supplements are one of the latest trends in the wellness world, promising plump, radiant, youthful skin. However, just like most self-prescribed vitamins, they aren't without their limitations. Here’s why collagen supplements may not work for your skin - and the alternative solutions!
