Does this sound familiar?
Every spot leaves a mark that lasts longer than the spot.
I’ve used strong acne products and now my skin feels raw.
I’m oily by midday and I don’t know what’s causing my breakouts.
Why acne needs a different approach in melanin-rich skin
Each breakout is inflammation — and in deeper skin tones, inflammation often leaves a dark mark. Treating acne too aggressively creates more irritation and more marks. The goal is steady control of breakouts while protecting the skin barrier, so you clear both the spots and what they leave behind.

- 01You get breakouts that keep coming back
- 02You have clogged pores, blackheads or congestion

During your consultation
A 45 min video call with Emily on Google Meet. We talk through your skin, your routine, what you’ve tried and what you’d like to change. A quiet spot with natural light is all you need.
After your consultation
Your personalised routine arrives in writing within [48 hours], with the reason for every step. You can reply with one quick question within 7 days. When you’re ready for the next step, book a follow-up review.
How to take your skin photos
Natural daylight, facing a window, no makeup. Take the front of your face and both sides, plus a close-up of any area you’re concerned about. [CONFIRM EMILY’S PHOTO GUIDANCE]
Book your consultation
Acne routines need adjusting once you see how your skin responds, so most clients include a follow-up review.

Acne questions
Consultations provide skincare education and personalised routine guidance. They do not diagnose medical skin conditions or replace professional medical advice.
What’s the best skincare routine for acne-prone dark skin?
There’s no single routine — it depends on what’s causing your breakouts and how your skin tolerates actives. A good routine usually combines gentle cleansing, one or two well-chosen targeted products and daily sun protection to stop marks darkening.
Can you help with acne marks as well as breakouts?
Yes. We plan for both: controlling breakouts first, then fading the marks they’ve left.
Can you help with shaving bumps and ingrown hairs?
Yes. Shaving technique, timing and products are part of the consultation.
What if my acne is severe?
Deep, painful or scarring acne is worth discussing with your GP or a dermatologist. I can support your skincare routine alongside medical treatment.
What should I prepare?
Take a few photos in natural daylight without makeup, and gather the products you currently use. [ADD ANY INTAKE FORM STEP]
Clear the breakouts. Keep the marks from coming back.
One consultation, a clear routine, and a plan built for melanin-rich skin.
