Bloom Beauty Studio

A golden glow, without compromising your skin ✨🤎

Meet SELF Tan - because if we’re going to put something all over our skin, I want it doing more than just making us look tanned...
This range combines a beautiful, natural-looking faux tan with skin-loving, nourishing ingredients to hydrate and support the skin while your colour develops.

Think:
✨ Golden, natural-looking colour
✨ Hydrating, nourishing formulas
✨ Designed to help minimise that dry, streaky tan finish
✨ The same skin-first formulation philosophy you expect from O COSMEDICS

Because a tan shouldn’t mean sacrificing all the work we’re doing to create healthy, hydrated skin.
Perfect heading into the warmer months when you want that sun-kissed look without needing the sun to get it ☀️

O COSMEDICS SELF Tan home care range and professional spray tanning available at Bloom Beauty Studio 🤎

🌸 NEXT UP IN YOUR SPRING SKIN RESET… INSKIN.CO

Last week we looked at my O Cosmedics spring skincare favourites, now let’s talk Inskin.Co ✨

If your spring skin goals are brighter, more even-looking skin with a healthy glow, these two are a great place to start:
🍊 Vitamin C Serum
A powerful antioxidant to help brighten dull-looking skin while supporting protection against environmental stressors.
🤍 Arbutin B3 Serum
A targeted brightening serum combining Alpha-Arbutin + Vitamin B3 to help improve the appearance of pigmentation and uneven skin tone, while supporting the skin barrier.
Together, they make a beautiful spring pairing for brightening + protecting your skin.

And remember… ☀️ SPF every single day is essential, especially when you’re working on pigmentation.

Not sure whether Vitamin C, Arbutin B3 or both are right for your skin? Send me a message and I’ll help you choose 💛

✨ 3 months of having a plan instead of self-prescribing...

When we first started working together, her skin was feeling tight, she was concerned with ageing and uneven skin texture. She was SUPER dehydrated, her oil flow was very stagnated leading to milia and an impaired barrier function.

But rather than jumping straight into stronger actives and trying to “fix” everything at once, we started with the foundations. Working together, no guesswork...

Phase One: strengthen + restore 🫶🏼
For the past three months, she’s been following a prescribed O Cosmedics homecare routine designed to increase hydration, strengthen and rebuild her skin barrier and improve how effectively her skin can protect and support itself.
And now that we have a stronger, healthier foundation to work from, we’ve moved into…

Phase Two: correct + rebuild ✨
We can now confidently introduce more corrective, medical-strength actives alongside professional treatments to work on pigmentation, scarring, collagen loss, firmness and overall skin quality.
And the timing couldn’t be better.

Heading into summer, I want her skin strong, supported and protected - with the right home care in place to help defend against UV exposure, oxidative stress and environmental damage while we continue working towards her longer-term skin goals.
This is exactly why I’m so passionate about skin plans rather than quick fixes.

We don’t need to throw everything at the skin at once.
Strengthen first. Correct second. Protect always. 🤍
These before & afters are only the beginning...

When I’m not in the treatment room…

🚗 Mum taxi mode running between after-school and extra curricular activities

🧘🏼‍♀️ Pilates which is my favourite little bit of me-time as well as having my nails done 💅🏼

✨ LED, regularly & monthly skin treatments including peels or microneedling depending what my skin needs🧖🏽‍♀️ Yes, I practise what I preach

📖 Getting lost in a good book when I get the chance to not be disturbed

Your beauty therapist has a very life outside the treatment room too 😂 😴

🌸 So, what does your spring skincare routine actually look like?

Last week we talked about the 3 spring skincare essentials for brightening, pigment control + daily SPF.

Now let’s put that into practice with a few of my O Cosmedics favourites ✨
🍊 Vitamin C H**p Seed Oil — antioxidant protection + brightness for a healthy spring glow.
💧 O-Biotics B3 Plus Serum — supports hydration, strengthens the skin barrier and helps calm the appearance of redness. Contains 12% Vitamin B3 & acne-friendly Vitamin C
🤍 Concentrated Brightening Serum — targeted brightening support for pigmentation and uneven skin tone.

And, of course… 🌞 SPF every.single.morning!

You don’t need to overhaul your entire routine. Sometimes it’s about introducing the right targeted products for what your skin needs now.
Not sure which products are right for your skin this spring?

Send me a message — I’m always happy to help 💛

It’s one of the reasons O Cosmedics Pure Age Defiance Serum is their #1 selling serum - and one of my favourites for anyone as a multi-functional serum for wanting to target visible signs of ageing.

✨ 12% SNAP-8 Peptide — a powerful peptide designed to help soften the appearance of expression lines and wrinkles
✨ Multi-Vitamin Complex — supports healthier, more resilient-looking skin
✨ Hyaluronic Acid (L-Sodium Hyaluronate) — attracts and binds moisture for hydrated, plumper-looking skin

And the best part? You can take it right around the eye area too, making it perfect for targeting those little expression lines around the eyes.

Think hydration + plumping + smoothing + age-defying peptides all in one serum.
If fine lines, loss of firmness or dehydration are starting to creep in, this is one worth knowing about.
