The skin is the human body's largest organ.

Its a host to the new buzz word at the moment - Microbiome, which is the connection between the gut health , our overall health and our skins condition.

The skins microbiome is part of the physical layer of the skin that protects us from the outside world. Keeping these microorganisms happy and harmonious is key to glowing skin. The gut microbiome works very close with immune system molecules.
If you are not looking after your gut health , it can alter the immune responses , prompting the release of inflammatory molecules.

Low level inflammation of the gut over a long period can harm, potentially increasing the risk of inflammatory skin conditions. If there is imbalance between good and bad bacteria and when the bad are multiplying , because of environmental and lifestyle factors such as exposure to UV light , air pollution , poor diet or drinking, it stands to reason the our skin won't be glowing.

It will be dry, dull, congested , lacklustre.

Using your products in the wrong way or products with harsh ingredients like retinols and prolonged use of antibiotics are also bad for the gut health.
Never use a product on the skin that makes it feel sore, tight, tingly, burning, it couldn't be doing anything positive to your skin.

It's always a good idea to use a probiotic after antibiotics to balance the gut health. The skin plays a balancing act between beneficial , neutral and harmful flora that are interrelated with the immune system.
Drink plenty of water to keep the body hydrated.
If you have being using the same products for a long time, two to three years, it's time to have fresh skin consultation.

A change is as good as a rest. Contact Jill to arrange a consultation 064-6632966

A new feature film, created by Irish writer and director Liam O Mochain, is set for release in Killarney next Friday, November 7.

Mr O Mochain said he is delighted to bring ABODE to a Killarney audience following its sold out world premiere at the Galway Film Fleadh and a screening at the recent IndieCork film festival.

ABODE is a feature film with five stories connected by the theme of home and what it means to the different characters in the film.

It shows that home has an importance and a different meaning for everyone.

In ABODE, everyone wants to belong somewhere. The film was shot over a three-year period and finished in early 2025.

O Mochain says that the stories are a mix of drama and comedy, inspired by true stories, events or incidents.

It is set on the theme of home which is very relevant today.

Ryan Lincoln, Sophie Vavessuer, and Liam O Mochain are among the cast.

ABODE is O Mochain’s fourth feature film. His 2017 feature film ‘Lost & Found’ screened at festivals around the world from the Galway Film Fleadh to the Austin Film Festival
