Hello let me introduce myself, and my story behind my brand…

I’m Aneka..Dr Aneka K Patel founder of Dr AKP Skincare, a GP Doctor 🩺 with an interest in Skincare & Dermatology…Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Rheumatology..

I work a GP role part the week, am a GP Consultant Lead in Management role; for vulnerable patients with mental health, and Long Covid/ Chronic Fatigue patients; alongside teaching paramedics and run my business solely Dr AKP Skincare

As a child with severe eczema I suffered hugely with this and the consequences; lack of self confidence in my own skin, bullying, anxious about how I appeared and times quite low..

No one deserves to feel like this! Turning this experience into a positive was something I hoped for a long time… making impactful change for others like me with sensitive prone skin, eczema, dermatitis, acne, scarring, pigmentation – because I know having how having ‘bad’ skin can make one feel..

So I worked on my own products over the last few years to ensure I could get a product which was natural – containing our key ingredient Manuka Honey 🍯 which we know studies show the benefits on skin, healing, ailments and improving appearance too..

We now have our gorgeous products here with you to share!

They each contain an added plant oil which I have studied to determine which would have what benefit in each product. After testing and trialling; I have found that Rose Oil has benefits on brightening skin, Chamomile Oil on calming skin; Jasmine oil on balancing skin; and Lavender oil on relaxing our skin. How wonderful is that!!

Along the journey of Dr AKP Skincare I have learnt that our physical health including skin is so much more than products we apply. Our health is secondary to our energy, what we feed our mind, body and how we treat it… hence why the brand is something that aligns with me as a person and who I am.. being holisitic and also focused on wellbeing as I do with myself, work and home..

Being as authentic to me and sharing this and my story was key – only when we speak our truth, and become aware of this, can we make the changes we wish..

I can’t wait to share my Manuka Honey range of products with you…

We also release a Chai with AKP on Wed’s to discuss concerns and topics to raise awareness with skin and wellbeing, on our Instagram @drakpskincare

Remember your skin tells your story so you don’t need to hide it.. let’s embrace it together and empower one another..

Love Dr AKP
