Skin Conditions
As a former British-trained beauty therapist turned naturopath, Amina brings real depth to stubborn skin, working from the inside out as well as the outside in.
Book a ConsultationSkin conditions can be frustrating and deeply personal. Eczema, psoriasis, rosacea and acne often persist despite creams and elimination diets, because the drivers usually run deeper than the surface.
Amina Eastham-Hillier brings an unusual combination to this work: a former career as a British-trained beauty therapist, and 30+ years as a naturopath and medical herbalist. That means she considers both what the skin needs topically and what is driving it from within. Her role is supportive naturopathic care alongside your medical team.
Why skin conditions are so often stubborn
Skin is an outward sign of inner balance. When it keeps flaring, there is usually something underneath: inflammation, gut imbalance, food reactions, hormones or stress. Treating only the surface can soothe a flare without changing why it keeps happening.
This is why Amina so often looks at gut health, food reactions and the stress picture when supporting skin.
How Amina supports skin concerns
Working from the inside out and the outside in, Amina's supportive approach considers:
- Gut health and the microbiome, a frequent driver of skin
- Inflammation and immune balance through herbal medicine and nutrition
- Food reactions and a tailored diet
- Hormonal and stress influences, where relevant
- Topical and lifestyle support, drawing on her dermatology background
Herbs such as calendula and burdock have a long traditional history in skin support, always chosen as part of an individualised plan.
Working together
Most patients begin with a thorough initial consultation and, where it adds clarity, functional testing. From there you will have a clear plan and ongoing review.
If your skin has not responded to the usual approaches, looking deeper is often what finally helps.
