Real Results - My Skincare Journey

Beauty Therapist, Jade Burgess shares her skincare journey with you.

I have always suffered with hormonal breakouts along my jaw and across my chin

Spots, under skin congestion. Like everyone I longed for clear, healthy looking skin. The spots and congestion started to spread across my temples and forehead. I did what most young people do and brought products for acne and oily skin.

From 14 years old, I treated my skin for oiliness. Because I had spots and my skin was shiny across my cheeks. Little did I know I then, that I was completely mis-analysing the problem. I was making the problem worse.

I left college, a qualified Beauty Therapist

It was then that the real education of skin and skincare started.

A new job role landed me a place on the Katherine Daniels facial training course. The starting point for all qualified Beauty Therapist's who join a Katherine Daniels Professional salon.

My knowledge was challenged and elevated

I was lucky to be educated by the brand founders Kirsti & Donna. This is when my knowledge was challenged and then elevated. My skin would be changed forever.

How could I help others if I couldn’t help myself?

During the 1st day of the course I had the proverbial light bulb moment! I realised the relevance of what was being taught. I understood that I wasn’t helping my own skin problems, I was making it worse.

I was stripping my skin with products for oiliness. It always felt tight and quite uncomfortable. The spots kept on coming!

My skin started to change within days

By using the correct Katherine Daniels products, my skin started to change within days. Immediately it felt full of moisture, supple and comfortable. Such a different feeling to the usual tight, discomfort I was used to. The feeling of healthy hydrated skin was new to me. I had to get used to my skin feeling like this - feeling healthy!

I changed my skincare regime. I went from treating my skin for oiliness to treating it for dryness & dehydration.

From its worst to its best

It took only a couple of weeks for my skin to go from looking its worst to its best. This is the difference that Katherine Daniels can make. I still get the odd hormonal breakout. These are getting less. Now I get so many compliments about my own skin.

My skin now is bright, and it looks healthy. I do have some scarring from old spots, but I’m confident that these will keep fading with time because I’m looking after my skin correctly.

I love sharing my knowledge and experience with my clients

When I think about what would have happened to my skin without the correct advice and guidance. It fills me with horror. I can now share my knowledge and experience with my clients.

My advice to you

Please be bothered to look after your skin properly. Take professional advice about your skin. Realise if it’s not looking its best then you’ll need to change the way you look after it, and change the products you use.

Katherine Daniels has enriched my career as a Beauty Therapist. This brand has changed the way that I look at skin. The understanding that I have of skincare. The philosophy of Katherine Daniels has changed the way I treat my client’s skin. It’s changed the way I treat my own skin.

With Love

As the cold months roll in it's easy to think SPF can take a backseat in your skincare routine. But Daily DNA Defence SPF30 is much more than just a sunscreen, it’s your final coat of skin armour, it’s weather protection for your skin.

Our award-winning, broad-spectrum SPF protects your skin from more than just UV rays. It guards against environmental pollutants and blue light
emitted from your screens. Meanwhile, winter’s cold air, winds and rain can damage your skin barrier.

 During and after exposure to the elements, Daily DNA Defence protects and repairs your cells DNA.

And more than this, it’s the best make-up primer. Talk about a multi-tasking product! Its lightweight formula sits comfortably under your foundation, ensuring your make-up stays fresh and stays ‘put’ all day.

Keep reading as we deep dive into the benefits of Daily DNA Defence SPF30 and why it’s an essential part of your winter skincare regime.

Broad-spectrum, photostable protection with Daily DNA Defence SPF30

Not all SPF products are created equal, Daily DNA Defence SPF30 offers broad-spectrum protection. This means that it shields your skin from both UVA rays (the ones that age your skin) and UVB rays (the ones that burn your skin). If your moisturiser or foundation contains an SPF it’s worth checking, make sure you’re covered for both UVA and UVB. Many of those products only protect against UVB, leaving your skin vulnerable to the long-term damage caused by UVA rays.

I’m guessing that you follow your daily skincare regime to promote skin health and to keep your skin looking great for your age? Using Daily DNA Defence SPF30 will help you avoid undoing all that effort by providing the UVA protection your skin truly needs.

And here's the bonus: our SPF is photostable, meaning it won’t break down or lose effectiveness in the sun. However, if you're by the pool make sure to reapply every two hours as water, sweat and towel drying can remove it, leaving your skin vulnerable.

Blue light and pollution protection

In today’s world, your skin is up against more than just the sun. Daily DNA Defence SPF30 also shields your skin from two often overlooked threats: blue light and pollution.

Blue light, mainly from our smart devices and pollution in the atmosphere. Blue light and pollution trigger changes in your skin cells, even leading to cell death. Unprotected exposure to these will lead to hyperpigmentation and can damage your skin’s health.  Most blue light comes from smart technology, which is used daily by most of us. Pollution is all around; levels are higher in towns and cities all year.

DNA Defence and Repair: protecting your skin at the cellular level

When your skin is exposed to radiation it faces more than just surface damage, your cells DNA is at risk. Daily DNA Defence SPF30 acts like a "virtual parasol," shielding your cells during exposure to harmful rays. But the protection doesn’t stop there. After exposure, your body naturally works to repair DNA damage. Your cells naturally produce an enzyme which kickstarts the repair process of your DNA. Thanks to the powerful repairing ingredients in our formula this process is accelerated up to 100 times, meaning your skin recovers faster, stays healthier and sustains less long term damage.

 In summary, wear Daily DNA Defence SPF30 as your final coat of skin armour each day in all seasons and you can rest assured you’re doing your best to protect your skin.

Magical make-up priming

We know that finding the perfect daily SPF texture is a challenge. We’ve been there too. Most SPFs feel like a layer too many, leaving skin feeling greasy, heavy or cause foundation to slide off by midday. This is why we made our product for you. A super light veil, which is suitable for even the most sensitive skin. With no oily or white residue, it’s non-pore blocking and
dries over your moisturiser to become the best make-up primer you’ll ever use, keeping your foundation perfectly in place all day or all night long. 

No make-up, no problem

For our men and/or non make-up wearers, our handy pocket size product gives you the same invisible veil and matt skin finish. Skiers, golfers and cyclists will love that it slips easily into a pocket, bag or pouch. 

Where else should you be applying your SPF?

Your SPF isn’t just for your face, use all the way down to your décollete and up to your hairline. Not forgetting areas like the tops of your lips, ears, nose and the backs of your hands. These are often overlooked spots that are equally exposed to the sun, whether you’re lounging by the pool or simply driving. The backs of your hands are quick to show signs of ageing, so it’s vital to keep them protected. And if you’re grabbing some winter sun make sure to apply it to the tops of your feet.

How much SPF should you use?

Aim for about the size of a 5 pence piece for each application. However, this should come after Step 2 – Skin Boost and Step 3 – Skin Defence Cream in your skincare routine. If you're planning to sunbathe, apply Daily DNA Defence SPF30 at least 15 minutes before heading outside. Once you're in the sun reapply after 15 minutes for the ultimate protection, then continue every two hours.

And remember, swimming, sweating or towel drying can remove your SPF, so be sure to reapply regularly to keep your skin fully protected.
