Not sure what your skin needs? Let’s make skincare a little less confusing. 🩷

When patients come to me with a specific skin concern, one of the first things we look at is what is actually causing it. The right product for dry skin will not necessarily be the right product for hyperpigmentation, acne or sensitive skin.

In this post, I share some of my product recommendations for common skin concerns, including:

✨ Dry or dehydrated skin
✨ Sensitive or compromised skin
✨ Hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone
✨ Acne and blemish-prone skin
✨ Signs of skin ageing
✨ Skin texture and enlarged pores

There are thousands of skincare products available, and more are appearing every week. You do not need to use all of them. In fact, adding product after product to your routine is often a very expensive way to irritate your skin. 😂

What matters is understanding your skin concern, choosing ingredients that have evidence behind them and building a routine that you can actually stick to.

Watch the video for my recommendations and, as always, remember that a product that works beautifully for one person may not be appropriate for another.

Good skincare is not about having the longest routine. It is about using the right products for your skin. 🩷

✨ The skin you want to show off in December starts with the care you give it in October.

If you're hoping to look and feel your best for the festive season, now is the time to plan your treatments. Different treatments need different amounts of time to reveal their full results.

Here’s your timeline to keep in mind:

🩷 Toxin: Takes around 1–2 weeks to take effect.
🩷 Dermal fillers: Can take around 4 weeks to fully settle.
🩷 Chemical peels: Visible results can develop over 2–4 weeks.
🩷 Microneedling: Results can continue to improve, often peaking around 4–12 weeks.
🩷 Sculptra: Gradual collagen-building results typically develop over 3–6 months.

The right timing depends on your skin, your goals and the treatment you choose. Some treatments may not be suitable for everyone, so a personalised consultation is always the best place to start.

Time is running out to plan your December glow. ✨

Book your consultation with Dr Cebi and let’s create a treatment plan tailored to you.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a reminder to pay attention to your body and the changes it may be communicating. 🩷

Did you know that changes in the skin of the breast can sometimes be a sign of underlying breast cancer?

Look out for persistent redness, swelling, dimpling or an orange-peel texture, thickening of the skin, ni**le discharge or a newly inverted ni**le.

These changes do not always mean cancer, as other breast conditions can cause similar symptoms. However, any new or unusual breast changes should be assessed by a healthcare professional promptly. Please do not wait for pain to develop before seeking advice.

As a dermatologist, I want to remind you that paying attention to your skin is about more than your skincare routine. Sometimes, changes on the surface can offer important clues about what is happening beneath it.

Know your body. Check regularly. Seek medical advice when something changes. Early assessment matters. 🩷

If you are treating hyperpigmentation but your sunscreen is only protecting you from UV rays, there is an important part of the story you may be missing.

When it comes to pigmentation, we need to move beyond looking for just any SPF and choosing a sunscreen that also provides protection against high-energy visible light, or HEVL. Visible light can contribute to worsening hyperpigmentation, particularly melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, especially in deeper skin tones.

This is why sunscreen is such an important part of any treatment plan for hyperpigmentation. Your brightening serums and pigmentation treatments can be excellent, but if you are not protecting your skin from the light that can trigger pigmentation, you may be making the journey much harder than it needs to be.

The right sunscreen for your skin type and concern can make all the difference.

Menopause is a natural stage of life, but that does not mean you have to ignore the changes you see in your skin.

As oestrogen levels decline during perimenopause and menopause, the skin can become noticeably drier, thinner and more sensitive. You may also start to notice changes in skin elasticity, collagen production, pigmentation, wound healing and overall skin texture.

Hormonal changes during menopause also contribute to hair thinning, changes in hair texture and increased hair shedding.

These changes are not simply a matter of “getting older” and understanding what is happening can help you make informed decisions about your skincare and treatment options.

On World Menopause Day, I want to remind women that looking after your skin during menopause is not about trying to look younger. It is about understanding your changing skin, supporting its health and feeling comfortable in it.

Watch the video as I explain some of the common skin changes you may notice during perimenopause and menopause, and what you can do to support your skin through this transition. 🩷

Eczema is more than just “dry skin” 🩷

Eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that can affect your comfort, sleep, confidence and quality of life.

It may present as persistent itching, dryness, scaling, recurrent rashes and flare-ups. In darker skin tones, redness can be less obvious, and inflammation may leave the skin darker afterwards.

✨ A few important reminders:
• Eczema involves skin-barrier dysfunction + inflammation.
• Identifying triggers and maintaining the skin barrier are key.
• Effective treatments are available, you don't have to simply “live with it.”

✨A word about steroid creams:
Topical steroids can be very effective and safe when appropriately prescribed and used correctly. The concern is prolonged or inappropriate use without medical supervision, which can lead to complications.

The message isn't “fear steroids, it’s use them correctly.”

See your dermatologist, your skin deserves more than guesswork.

Your wedding day is one of those moments where you want to feel like the best version of yourself, not like you’ve spent the last 48 hours panic testing every skincare product in your bathroom. 😅🩷

And when it comes to your skin, the best bridal glow usually starts well before the wedding day.

As a dermatologist, I always encourage my brides to think about their skin preparation as a journey rather than a last minute fix.

✨ 6+ months before: Start with a consultation, identify your skin concerns and create a treatment and home care plan that is right for your skin.

✨ 3 to 4 months before: Stay consistent. This is the time to build on your progress, continue your recommended treatments and track how your skin is responding.

✨ 6 to 8 weeks before: Start simplifying. Focus on hydration, barrier health and sun protection, while finishing any treatments that need enough time for your skin to settle.

✨ 2 to 4 weeks before: This is not the time for skincare experiments. Keep things familiar, hydrated and consistent.

✨ Wedding week: Rest, hydrate and be gentle with your skin. No last minute extractions, peels or trying something new because TikTok promised you a miracle. 😂

✨ Wedding day: Keep your routine simple and familiar. Clean, hydrated, protected skin is the perfect canvas for your makeup, your photographs and all those happy tears.

And perhaps the most important part?

Your skin does not need to be perfect to be beautiful.

So, future brides, if your wedding is on the horizon, consider this your reminder to start planning your bridal skincare journey early. Your future self, and possibly your makeup artist, will thank you. 🩷

What is the one skin concern you would love to feel more confident about before your wedding day?

To every matriculant starting their final exams… this is for you 🩷

Have you ever worked towards something for years, only to hear, “Not yet”?
I know that feeling.

My journey to becoming a doctor was not a straight line. I didn’t get into medical school exactly when or how I had planned. And years later, when I wanted to specialise in Dermatology, I faced rejection more than once.

But looking back, I realise that some of the greatest lessons of my life came from the moments when things didn’t go according to plan.

So, as you begin your matric exams, I want you to remember this:
Your exam results are important, but they do not define your potential.

A setback is not the end of your story.
A rejection is not a verdict on your ability.
And if your journey takes a little longer than someone else’s, that does not mean you are behind.

Sometimes you may need to try again.
Sometimes you may need to change your strategy.
Sometimes you may need to take a different route to reach the same destination.

But never confuse a difficult journey with a failed dream.

For now, focus on what is in front of you. Prepare. Show up. Give it your absolute best. Believe in yourself.

And whatever happens, remember:
Your matric results are a chapter in your story—not the whole story.
Your dreams are still yours to pursue.
Your future is still yours to create. 🙌🏽

Go into these exams knowing that you are capable of more than you may realise. Good luck for your exams.

Not every bump, spot or breakout is acne. And treating the wrong condition as acne can sometimes make things worse.

In my clinic, I see many patients who have been treating their skin for months, sometimes years, with acne products, only to find that the underlying condition is something completely different.

There are several skin conditions that can look like acne, including folliculitis, rosacea and perioral dermatitis.
This is why the diagnosis matters.

If your “acne” is not responding to appropriate treatment, keeps coming back, is itchy or painful, or does not quite look like the acne you usually see, it may be time to have your skin properly assessed by a dermatologist.

Sometimes the problem is not that you have not found the right acne product yet. You may simply be treating the wrong condition. 🩷

Sometimes the skin is already telling you what it needs…

Often people come to the office requesting a specific treatment meanwhile it’s not the best thing for them. The trick is knowing what you’re looking at in order to choose the right treatment.

Watch the video as my other self and I try to breakdown the treatments I would consider for each concern. 😂 Because apparently having one Dr Cebi in a video was not enough.

Spoiler alert: these treatments are not one-size-fits-all. It’s always best to get a proper assessment before you decide what it needs.

And please remember, the goal is not to do every treatment available. It is to do what is appropriate for your skin, at the right time, for the right reason.
