With a background in naturopathy and natural health, I’ve spent years exploring the connection between internal wellness and skin health.

During my early 20's, I was diagnosed with a complex autoimmune condition. With a compromised immune system, I also experienced impaired gut health, malabsorption issues as well as chronic inflammatory skin conditions. Throughout my recovering, I personally found that by addressing my underlying gut issues to be the most pivotal moment towards the restoration of my skin equilibrium.

Whilst topically, my experience with breakouts and acne were treated with prescription retinoids, glycolic scrubs, and even psoriasis shampoo, which ultimately left me with an impaired barrier and sensitised skin.

This journey shifted how I viewed the skin: not as a surface to be corrected, but as a reflection of internal balance. It led me to create Perception Skin, a range grounded in gentle, plant-based formulations that prioritise barrier support, skin integrity, and long-term health.

While I’ve collaborated with expert formulators across the range, I’ve also personally developed several of our signature products. Each one is guided by my belief in conscious, uncomplicated skincare that supports the skin’s natural function, without overloading it with trends or harsh actives.

Personally, I've found one of the most effective skin treatments to be the inclusion of essential fatty acids into my beauty regime, particularly linoleic acid to soothe and calm my skin irritations. This would include essential fatty acids from a dietary perspective also - particularly flaxseed oil.

The shift from typical belief systems towards some of the conventional beauty and anti-aging treatments was never an initial intention, perhaps just instinctive and a personal necessity.

Throughout my skin and health journey, I have found a natural and modest skincare regime is what has achieved my success.
