Revolutionising Skincare: Espérer & the Future of Psycho-Dermatology


Beauty

If you've never heard of psycho-dermatology, we believe you'll not only be mesmerised after reading this article but also an early follower of skincare's latest and innovative curve. 


Breaking down the term, you'll notice that the 'psycho' aspect relates to psychiatry, focusing on “internal” non-visible conditions, while dermatology deals with “external” visible conditions.


Psycho-dermatology explores the interaction between the mind and skin, often involving experts like psychologists and skincare professionals such as dermatologists, facialists, aestheticians, or makeup artists.




Although the term may be new in the beauty market, it has been around for quite some time, with medical articles dating back as far as 2013, if not earlier. Research shows that addressing the emotional factors contributing to the onset or flaring of a condition, along with topical treatment, can reduce symptoms such as pruritus and acne and improve sleep. This is because our physical, mental, and emotional well-being are all interconnected, and the skin, being the largest organ, is usually the first to feel these effects.


We had the privilege of meeting skincare nobility and experiencing the unique offerings of Dina El Adlani, the founder of Espérer, the first psycho-dermatology brand. Through a facial scan and consultation, we discovered the remarkable journey of Dina, who received parliamentary recognition for her contributions to beauty and faced her own battle with acne with determination and resilience. Drawing on her expertise and personal experiences, Dina has sought out rare, historically recognised ingredients to include in her line, like Moroccan Rhassoul (in the clarifying clay mask), dating back to the 8th century, returning to ancient skincare roots. She crafted Espérer by herself which is pretty impressive, and it is now exclusively available at John Bell & Croyden—the prestigious department store favoured by royalty—to effectively address all our skincare concerns.

What truly sets Espérer apart from other brands attempting to repackage existing products as psycho-dermatological is Dina's unwavering dedication to perfection. She spent years meticulously refining formulations to ensure her carefully curated line effectively addresses a wide range of skin concerns. Additionally, Dina offers personalised one-on-one sessions and facials near London's exclusive Harley Street, establishing Espérer as possibly the most hands-on brand we have encountered. Gone are the days of trying new products only to discard them due to poor results or reactions. Dina has skillfully resolved these issues, ensuring her products address individual concerns while catering to all skin types without causing secondary reactions.


Let's begin with how this is achieved. When you visit Espérer's online platform, you'll find a comprehensive psycho-dermatology quiz. By the end, the results will match you with the products best suited to your skin, aimed at managing or resolving your concerns. Afterwards, you'll receive an email with a list of recommended products.

One of our favourites is the Clarifying Clay Mask, perfect for those dealing with hormonal breakouts or congested skin. This mask features a soothing blend of therapeutic oils and natural clays like French Green Clay and Rose Clay, which work together to draw out impurities, unclog pores, and reduce inflammation. Initial use may cause slight irritation or redness, which is normal as it stimulates blood circulation and eliminates toxins from the skin cells. Additionally, it promotes cell renewal and improves skin texture. When we battled a stubborn hormonal breakout, this mask was a game-changer. Not only did it reduce breakouts, but it also left our skin feeling cleaner and noticeably smoother.

Next up is the Antioxidant Face Cream, and let us tell you, we didn't expect to be so smitten with a cream, but this one is truly exceptional. Packed with seven different antioxidants, it offers not only skincare benefits but also a spa-like, meditative experience, likely due to its calming Frankincense and Rose scent. With ingredients like prickly pear, known for its anti-ageing properties and ability to enhance elasticity, and Vitamins A, C, E, and K, this moisturiser serves as both an anti-pollutant and a simplified skincare solution for those looking to streamline their steps/routine or transition from stronger Retinol products.


Another product we loved is the Anti-Pollution Night Repair Face Oil, enriched with the visually stunning blue tansy, aimed at repairing the skin’s delicate microbiome for a clearer, healthier complexion. Despite its recommendation for dry skin, we didn't experience any breakouts, even with oily combination skin.


£95 available at John Bell & Croyden

The line features ten products powered by NeuroPlant™ Technology, a unique complex of bioactive and plant compounds meticulously formulated to repair the skin while promoting the release of neurotransmitters (chemical messengers in the brain), offering a calming, relaxing, and uplifting sensory experience. And of course, there's the option to indulge in a consultation and facial with Dina herself. 


Welcomed at a stunning listed building in London's most exclusive postcode, we experienced a technological first—an AI scan analysis that meticulously maps every aspect of your skin. Dina then discusses the results and tailors a bespoke facial to address individual concerns, providing a detailed report with product recommendations.



Additionally, guests can opt for one-on-one sessions with leading practitioners for breathwork therapy - Adrian Rambla, or appointments with Dermatologist Dr Lamia Ben Lama, renowned for her transformative non-surgical treatments.


We're thrilled about the evolution of skincare with Espérer leading the way in redefining psycho-dermatology. By blending advanced technology with time-tested remedies, Espérer delivers personalised skincare solutions that promise remarkable transformations for both skin health and emotional well-being. The outlook for skincare looks bright indeed!



Espérer is available online and exclusively at John Bell & Croyden
