What I am writing when I get back
Annual leave until September. When I'm back: DNA repair enzymes, haircare through perimenopause and menopause and Mothered Silk protein serum.
Hi Complexions,
Annual leave from tomorrow. Back early September. This is something I learnt I have to do the hard way, to avoid burnout. And when I have a holiday, I’m actually going off: no social media, no scheduling posts, no checking comments at 11 pm.
Three things are waiting for you when I get back. Already half-drafted.
DNA Enzymes. Photolyase, endonuclease, the whole repair-enzyme category that’s been creeping into skincare for a couple of years now. Some of that biology is genuinely interesting. Some of what’s printed on the boxes is not. I’ve been putting this one off because it’s big and deserves doing properly.
Then haircare through perimenopause and menopause. I get asked about this constantly. Density, texture change, scalp. All of it and what helps.
The third one is coming with me. I’ve managed to secure a bottle of the Mothered Silk Factor Peptide serum. The launch has made a considerable splash on social media, and it’s going in the suitcase. I am pretty excited about this serum as I’ve been looking for a product with silk proteins for a while now. Full breakdown when I’m back.
Paid subscribers, thank you. I know most of you signed up to support the work rather than to buy anything specific. It means a lot to me to see that much support from your side, and I don’t take that lightly. If you’d rather not be charged during my break, you can pause your subscriptions in your account settings and start it again in September. No awkwardness at all.
If you’ve asked me or commented something recently and I’ve been quite, that’s why. I’ll be slow until September.
And if there’s something you want covered, put it in the comments. Some of my best articles started as someone else’s question.
Thank you for reading this year. Writing this has turned into the part of the job I look forward to most.
Wear your sunscreen. Reapply it. See you in September.

Have a great vacation. Smart idea to take a full stop break. Kudos!
Have a great vacation!! All of your upcoming topics sound very relevant and I can’t wait to hear what you’ve got for us!! Will the DNA topic include something like Photozyme MD DNA Youth Recovery—horrible name, I know, but just wondering if that’s the type of product you’re examining. Cheers!
