South Africa braces for an intense heatwave; health experts are urging listeners to look beyond the usual advice on hydration and heat exhaustion and to pay closer attention to their skin. On SAfm’s The Morning Brief, Dr Maureen Allem, medical doctor and aesthetic enthusiast, breaks down often-overlooked skin risks during extreme heat, why protection matters, and practical steps to support skin health as temperatures soar.
February may be the month of roses and romance, but true love begins much deeper - with how you care for yourself. This article explores Skin Renewal’s “Multiplier Effect”: a smarter, simpler approach to medical-grade skincare that delivers multiple skin benefits with a single powerful formulation. From rebuilding a compromised barrier to calming breakouts, brightening pigmentation and strengthening ageing skin, these flagship formulations are designed to work in harmony with your skin and with your life.
After festive feasting and travel, many of us notice a bit more fullness around the waist, and that’s completely normal. Dr Maureen Allem from Skin Renewal explains that holiday weight gain isn’t about willpower, it’s biology. From stress hormones like cortisol to disrupted routines, your body stores energy where it feels safest. Skin Renewal digs into a whole-body strategy that looks beyond calorie counting to hormones, sleep, gut health and personalised support for sustainable fat loss.
From emergency wards to aesthetic excellence, Dr Maureen Allem has built Skin Renewal on a philosophy that beauty and health are inseparable. As a medical doctor with over 25 years’ experience, she bridges science, empathy and innovation to deliver doctor-led aesthetic and integrative care. Today, Skin Renewal stands as a national brand rooted in personalised treatment, regenerative medicine and long-term wellbeing, treating every patient as a whole person, never just a concern.
Holiday fun, from late nights to long flights and rich food, often takes a toll on your skin. Skin Renewal's focus isn’t on blame, but rather on recovery. Their expert-led approach emphasises calming stressed skin, deeply restoring hydration and rebuilding your barrier so your complexion feels comfortable and radiant again.
With more than 20 clinics nationally and thousands of patients treated every month, Skin Renewal is redefining what modern medical aesthetics looks like in South Africa. Guided by founders Dr Maureen Allem and Victor Snyders, the brand continues to lead with a science-driven, holistic approach that places skin health, innovation and long-term results at the centre of every patient journey.
In a world shaped by filters, curated images and influencer culture, the definition of beauty has become increasingly distorted. As more young women turn to invasive facelifts in pursuit of an unrealistic ideal, the long-term physical, emotional and psychological consequences are often overlooked. This article examines why chasing perfection comes at a cost, and why a more natural, preventative approach to ageing offers a healthier, more sustainable alternative.
As summer temperatures rise, many women notice increased dryness, sensitivity and uneven skin tone. While sun exposure is often blamed, fluctuating hormones play a significant and often overlooked role. As oestrogen levels shift during midlife, the skin’s ability to retain moisture, protect its barrier and regulate pigmentation declines, making it more vulnerable to UV damage and stubborn discolouration.
