This is your space to explore the real links between skin health, lifestyle, environment - and the person living in the skin.
That includes personal history and biology, yes — but more importantly, the daily habits, surroundings, and stressors that often trigger what we see on the surface.
Whether you're here for insight, reassurance, or practical ideas, this is skin education without the fluff — calm, clear, evidence-aware guidance that supports you with confidence.

💼 For Professionals & Curious Minds
Phase 1: The case has been made.
The Skin Well™ has laid out the case for three things:
That skin should be included in national public health messaging.
That the Department of Health and Social Care should oversee training and standards for those working with skin.
That qualified skin therapists deserve regulatory recognition for the vital work they do.
The first set of scenarios and open letters remain as a quiet invitation to reflect, rethink, and return as needed.
From here, you can explore:

About The Skin Well™ Project
Why The Skin Well™ exists: a quiet call to recognise skin as a public health issue, reshape education for those who work with it, and include trained therapists in future models of care.
Phase Two: From Quiet to Clear
The groundwork is done. Now we move forward—with structured proposals that show how better skin health messaging, education, and regulation can benefit everyone. Not just therapists, but doctors, dentists, educators, and the public. This phase begins to close the gap between skin care and aesthetics—and asks what happens when we align both with health.

About The Skin Well™
At The Skin Well™, each resource takes one piece of the puzzle and makes it easier to understand. Whether it’s a leaflet, flare-up checklist, or chart, you’ll find clear, evidence-aware guidance that connects everyday life with skin.
Because healthy skin isn’t just about products. It’s about the whole picture.
Some links - like how sunlight affects skin, are well-proven. Others, like the impact of pollution, relationships, or chronic stress - are still emerging. The Skin Well™ brings together trusted advice, clinical observation, and evolving science to help you make sense of it all.
The Skin Well™ also recognises that not all skin concerns are preventable or easily resolved. Some are lifelong, medically complex, or rooted in genetics. But with the right care and support, even these conditions can often improve.
This isn’t about blame or quick fixes. It’s about clarity, compassion, and better-informed choices.
This isn’t medical advice. It’s calm, practical skin education - without the jargon, the gatekeeping, or the pressure to buy.
About how the content is written
The Skin Well™ resources are developed by the author, Jacqui de Jager, in collaboration with evidence-aware writing tools. These tools support my writing process, helping shape complex ideas into clear, grounded messages for public use.
The direction, research, and intent are rooted in my professional experience, and desire to make skin health education more accessible for all.
Like any good well, these materials are deepened through reflection, collaboration, and time.
To my knowledge, this is the first UK-based resource to bring these varied - but deeply interconnected - influences together.
