So often when we look at skincare formulas, we first read the impressive claims and see the shiny marketing images. And whilst most raw ingredients that are widely formulated with come with their own scientific evidence, what becomes of a finished product containing a cocktail of ingredients?



This episode of The Power of Protons will take you on a behind the scenes tour of the most recent clinical study undertaken by pHformula. With Mariona Jimenez, pHformula's Head of R & D, as your guide, you will be amazed to learn what goes on behind the scenes of a clinical study, that 1+1 doesn’t always equal 2 in formulating terms and most importantly, what the results of our Chronic Redness Study were!

As we make our way towards the cooler months here in the Southern Hemisphere, it’s likely that your clients will be looking to reverse some of the effects of summer – specifically new pigmentation and brown spots that have been stimulated to the surface.



For decades, the professional beauty, dermal and aesthetics industry have approached the treatment of pigmentation with modalities like IPL and Laser, alongside chemical peels, microneedling and possibly microdermabrasion – procedures that aim to get rid of the old, over pigmented cells and stimulate the proliferation of new fresh daughter cells that hopefully find their way back up to the surface without the same over-population of melanin as their predecessors.



Unfortunately, despite best intentions, we can overlook the fact that the hyper pigmentation has often been triggered by trauma, inflammation and possibly a hormonal influence in the case of melasma for example and that rehabilitating the temperamental melanocyte takes a very careful balance so as not to overstimulate him again and cause a rebounding pigment stream that comes back with a vengeance to better protect the new cells.



So how do we best avoid pigment bounce back whilst still offering the measurable and long-lasting results that our clients are seeking?



Listen up – this episode will explore the process of melanogenesis, treatments that hold risk to trigger pigment bounce back and prudent measures to reduce the risks in our treatment programs.

In today’s episode we are travelling alongside a daughter
keratinocyte in her journey from the mother cells in the stratum basale layer all the way up through the epidermis to our skin’s surface, the cells we see when we look in the mirror.

This journey is perfectly orchestrated, complex and dependent on several reactions taking place to ensure our skin serves up a sophisticated barrier that protects us in our environment.

At the very heart of the journey is a transformation – where our living keratinocytes originating in the stratum basale, fully differentiate into their anucleate corneocyte versions, equipped with strong protein that forms part of our protective barrier.

As this journey takes place, the keratinocyte travels through the strata of the epidermis, through a gradient of pH, that is, different zones of acidity and is subject to influencing factors that clock on and clock off to support the transformation of these evolving cells.

This episode will highlight the stages of skin cell lifecycle, from proliferation, early differentiation, terminal differentiation, cornification and eventually, desquamation.

We'll highlight a handful of skin conditions linked to a dysfunctional journey and explore some prudent measures to consider when designing a topical skin care routine that supports this key process of skin regeneration and barrier health :-)

I went away from what would usually be a positive way to start my morning feeling icky and thinking "how unprofessional"!

And so it got me thinking about professionalism - is it a subjective metric and how can we best deliver professional services within the skin management industry so as to elevate and champion our offering, rather than speaking negatively about someone else's?

On this episode, I'll be sharing what went down at my last Pilates class, how we can define 'professionalism' in business and some pointers for navigating our patient communications when we're asked questions like "what do you think about this product" or "I'm thinking to have Treatment X, what do you think".

Hope you enjoy x Danielle

Perioral dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that can cause discomfort and frustration for those who suffer it. With a plethora of known triggers, the condition can become quite complex in knowing the causal factors and the most suitable line of treatment (which as I've come to learn personally, can vary in efficacy over the years).



This episode of The Power of Protons will explore the symptoms of Perioral Dermatitis, documented triggers that can lead to or exacerbate an outbreak, mainstay treatment approaches PLUS the treatment approach that worked wonders for my last flare-up in 2023.



Enjoy x Danielle
