I have spent so much of my working life treating skin, supporting clients and educating skin therapists.

I did not write this book because I believe I have all the answers. I wrote it because I have never stopped asking questions.

Throughout my career, I have remained fascinated by the wonder, intelligence and extraordinary architecture of the skin. I have never been comfortable simply accepting what the industry or the latest marketing campaign tells us. I have always wanted to understand why the skin presents in a certain way, what may have happened to it and what it is trying to communicate.

My greatest education has come from working with skin every day. From watching it respond, recover, react and change. From listening to my clients, learning from remarkable educators and scientists, and allowing the skin itself to be my teacher.

I have always believed that we must listen to the skin before we listen to marketing.

Practical Corneotherapy was written from a place of invention, the knowledge, experience and understanding I have gathered over many years, brought together and shared in the hope that it will encourage others to remain curious, question more deeply and see the skin not simply as a complexion to perfect, but as the phenomenal protective organ it truly is.  Trust me, it will be a very worthwhile journey
