✨ 10 Years of The Stables Wellness & Holistic Therapies ✨

Today marks 10 years since I opened the doors to The Stables.

What began as a dream in June 2016 has grown into something I could never have imagined, and that's all thanks to the incredible people who have supported me along the way.

Over the past decade, I've had the privilege of meeting so many wonderful people, sharing in your journeys, celebrating your successes, supporting you through challenges, and helping you make time for your wellbeing. It has been an honour to be part of your lives.

To every client who has booked an appointment, purchased a product, recommended me to a friend, shared a post, left a review, or simply cheered me on from the sidelines—thank you. Your support means more than you'll ever know.

Running a small business isn't always easy, but the relationships I've built and the trust you've placed in me have made every moment worthwhile.

I'm incredibly proud of what The Stables has become and so grateful that I still get to do a job I genuinely love every day.

Here's to 10 amazing years, and hopefully many more to come. 🥂✨

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of the journey.

✨ Two new Maria Åkerberg products for hydrated eyes and calmer skin

Combine Lifting Eye Serum with Face Mask Recovery for a cooling treatment that helps reduce puffiness, diminish dark circles, and give a more relaxed look.

💧 Lifting Eye Serum seems to smoothen and gives the skin around the eyes an immediate lift

🌿 Face Mask Recovery stimulates microcirculation and helps to reduce swelling and signs of fatigue around the eyes, while suppressing redness in the skin.

👉🏼 Feel free to store both in the fridge beforehand, for an extra cooling and de puffing effect 🤍

Genuine Vitamin C that works while you sleep
Night Serum Vitamin C contains natural, stable and long-lasting vitamin C from Oranges, which has a number of benefits for the skin:

🌙 Evens out and adds lustre -
Helps to reduce the visibility of hyperpigmentation and improves the skin’s natural radiance.

🌙 Prevents hyperpigmentation -
The serum prevents melanin - the pigment of the skin - from clumping together and forming dark spots.

🌙 Helps repair sun-damaged skin -
Helps restore and calm the skin after sun exposure

🌙 Protects against free radicals -
Provides powerful antioxidants that help maintain collagen and lipids, reducing visible signs of ageing.

🌙 Strengthens collagen -
Stimulates collagen production to maintain the skin’s elasticity and structure.

Who does Night Serum Vitamin C suit?
The serum is specially formulated for skin with uneven tone, loss of firmness, early signs of ageing or tired, dull-looking skin. However, as our natural vitamin C penetrates deeper into the skin than synthetic vitamin C—without exfoliating the surface or causing imbalance and irritation—the serum suits all skin types and ages.

Please note! Individuals with a citrus allergy may be sensitive to Night Serum Vitamin C.

How to use Night Serum Vitamin C
Apply Night Serum Vitamin C in the evening, after cleanser and toner, to the face, neck and décolletage. For optimal results on hyperpigmentation, start by exfoliating with AHA & jojoba Peeling, then follow with Night Cream.

🌿 How to care for your skin’s microbiome 🌿

Your skin is home to billions of tiny microorganisms. Together, they form your skin’s microbiome – an invisible ecosystem that plays a huge role in how your skin looks and feels.

When your microbiome is balanced, your skin barrier stays strong. That means better protection against pollution, less moisture loss, and healthier, calmer skin overall.

🌿 What is the skin’s microbiome?

It’s made up of bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms that naturally live on your skin. Many of these are beneficial – helping to maintain the right pH, reduce inflammation and stop harmful bacteria from taking over.

Think of it as your skin’s natural defence team.

🌿 Why the skin barrier matters

Your skin barrier is the outer layer that protects you from the outside world. The microbiome supports this barrier by helping it retain moisture and stay resilient.

When the microbiome becomes unbalanced, the barrier weakens. Skin can then become dry, sensitive, reactive or prone to breakouts and inflammation.

🌿 What can disrupt it?

The microbiome is delicate and easily affected by:

• Over-cleansing or over-exfoliating
• Harsh ingredients like strong surfactants, alcohol or synthetic additives
• Pollution and UV exposure
• Stress and lack of sleep
• Certain medications, especially antibiotics

Sometimes it’s not about doing more for your skin — it’s about doing less, more gently.

🌿 Supporting your skin naturally

At The Stables, I always encourage choosing products that work with your skin, not against it.

Maria Åkerberg products are natural, gentle and formulated to support the skin barrier. Many include ingredients that help nourish and protect the microbiome, including prebiotics and probiotic-supporting ingredients.

Prebiotics (like Xylitol and Biosaccharide Gum-1) help “feed” the good bacteria on your skin, while probiotic-supporting ingredients help restore balance when it’s been disrupted.

The result? Calmer, clearer, more resilient skin — and that healthy glow we’re all looking for.

Because truly healthy skin starts with balance. 🌿

🌿 Simple Non-Toxic Swaps for Your Skin 🌿

As I mentioned in my previous post, your skin is your largest organ, and what you apply to it matters just as much as what you put into your body. Making the switch to more natural, non-toxic skincare and makeup is a simple step that can support healthier skin and overall wellbeing.

Many conventional products can contain harsh or unnecessary ingredients. By choosing cleaner, more natural alternatives, you can:

🌿 Reduce irritation and sensitivity
🌿 Support your skin’s natural balance
🌿 Avoid unnecessary synthetic additives
🌿 Create a gentler, more mindful self-care routine

If you’re unsure where to start, apps like Yuka and Ivy can be really helpful.

✨ Yuka scans food and cosmetic products and gives them a rating based on ingredients and potential health impact.

✨ Ivy helps you check the safety and toxicity of ingredients in everyday products, making it easier to make informed choices.

Maria Åkerberg products are rated Good or Excellent on the Yuka app, reflecting their natural formulations and skin-friendly ingredients.
