🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦

One of my favourite parts of running Skin Discovery is supporting incredible Canadian skincare brands that are pushing our industry forward. Here are four you'll find on my shelves:

🍁 Zyderma – An eco-scientific skincare line rooted in supporting the skin's natural microbiome and barrier, helping skin function the way it was designed to.

🍁 Atmosphera – The creators of climate-curated skincare, with formulas designed to help your skin adapt and stay resilient through changing weather and environments.

🍁 COLE – Created by a Naturopathic Doctor, COLE combines cutting-edge, biocompatible ingredients to support the skin barrier and help restore chronic skin conditions.

🍁 East 29th – Clean, plant-based skincare made in Canada with ethically sourced ingredients that are gentle on sensitive skin, kind to the environment, and deliver visible results.

Proud to support Canadian innovation, female founders, and brands that are raising the standard for skin health. ❤️🤍 by @skindiscovery

After 10 years of working with real skin concerns, I’ve learned that the path to healthy skin starts with discovery: understanding what your skin needs, uncovering what’s triggering it, and supporting your body from the inside out ✨

I’m on mat leave but supporting clients over DM and email, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you need guidance with your skin 💛 by @skindiscovery

The Case of Fungal Overgrowth 🔎

After a stressful period, hot summer weather, lots of sweating + a high-carb diet, her back was crazy itchy and she was struggling with tinea versicolor.

We changed the approach, supported her skin + microbiome, and 4 weeks later… clear ✨

As we head into fall, it’s more important than ever to support your skin barrier AND your microbiome.

@sivcare Biome Balancing Serum uses quorum sensing technology to communicate with the microorganisms living on your skin. How cool is that?! It helps support a more balanced microbiome rather than only reducing bacteria (as we like to do with our exfoliating acids).

And this matters because acne isn’t just about ‘bad bacteria’…

It’s about the ecosystem of your skin!

I’ve personally swapped my morning serum for SIV Biome Balancing Serum, still using my HOCL Mist before and Light Moisturizer after and my skin is transitioning to this new season beautifully.

Remember, healthy skin isn’t about wiping everything out! It’s about creating the right environment for your skin to thrive 🫶🏻 by @skindiscovery

Meet the newest addition to the exfoliation line-up at Skin Discovery!

After struggling with postpartum congestion that just wouldn’t clear up, I decided to try @atmosphera.beauty Surface Refine.

Directions are to leave it on for a few mins then rinse off after cleansing. Gradually, I adapted my skin to tolerating this product as a leave on serum five nights per week—and wow! My texture is smooth and I’ve been getting compliments on the radiance of my skin.

If you’re exfoliating consistently with salicylic, mandelic or an enzymatic exfoliant and just aren’t getting that refinement you’re looking for, give Surface Refine a go.

I’m impressed with how quickly this product works and the affordable price point as well. Got to love a well formulated Canadian product! Thank you Atmosphera 💛 by @skindiscovery

Your skincare isn’t the only thing influencing your skin.

The quality of the fats you eat can play a role in inflammation, skin barrier function and the environment your pores are working with.

That doesn’t mean you need to fear fat! It means being more intentional about the fats you choose, how often you eat them, and how you cook with them.

Swipe for some simple swaps you can start making today!

From congested to clear ✨

Jessica’s acne journey reminds us that it is possible to clear your skin naturally. Determined to avoid going on accutane again and having homemade skincare fail her, a personalized skincare routine and new mindset is what ultimately transformed Jessica’s skin.

Key products included:

@zydermahs Konjac Sponge and cleanser to target dead skin cell buildup, HOCL Mist and Clarifying Cream to target bacteria and of course, sun protection using @tizoskin AN Replenish SPF 40 ☀️

I’m so proud of Jessica and grateful that I get to work with such amazing women! by @skindiscovery

Just checking to make sure you know that acne is rarely ever caused by just one thing!

The 3 key factors causing acne are inflammation, dead skin cells and bacteria and we need to be addressing these 3 factors holistically (and topically) every day.

Stay tuned this month for holistic tips, products and recommendations that can make a big difference.

Let me know in the comments if you have any specific questions you’d like me to address this month 👇🏼 by @skindiscovery

Your skin doesn’t need to start over, it may just need the right support to recover ✨

I’ve created the Skin Recovery Protocol for myself and my clients to help support skin after a summer of sun, heat, treats, alcohol and likely changing routines.

Available through September 21.

Then, we’ll move into the next phase: exfoliation and renewal. by @skindiscovery
