Pause Skin Clinic

Kelly Hooper. Skin lover. Expert. Founder of the skin clinic Pause. Authentic in every sense, The Barn is a rustic retreat - at one with nature.
(319)

The multi award winning Barn sits in the beautiful village of Loxton at the foot of Crooks Peak in Somerset. The Barn was the oldest building in Loxton and has been painstakingly rebuilt using the original stone and lovingly restored oak timber beams. At The Barn simplicity rules: nature’s honest beauty evident in every finish from natural and grounding grey flagstone flooring and chunky oak ceilings to paints with the highest eco credentials. Leading nationally, the second generation Barn connects its cutting edge treatments and holistic therapies with the calm and healing of the natural world. Set within two acres of land, it is a totally private environment where space, peace and tranquility have been prioritised. With generous treatment rooms and a separate, uniquely designed relaxation lounge with views over the magnificent Crooks Peak, we are now more able than ever to help you escape, however briefly, and take the stress away from everyday living. The Barn has a kitchen table at its heart – wooden, antique, rustic, The Skin Bar is the place where client and therapist come together - and analyse individually what is best for each client - what is truly best for them, their wellbeing, their skin. The Barn also uniquely offers each client a soothing bathing experience: a raw copper bath – equipped with candles and pots of mineral salts, aromatic fresh herbs, essential oils and flower petals - for private moments of reflection - particularly after a treatment… a healing space for true relaxation and escape. We take pride in offering an extensive range of cutting edge treatments and holistic therapies along with advanced cosmetic procedures. Our vision has always been to offer an experience of total luxury and relaxation so whether you join us for a short or a long visit, we guarantee you will love your Barn experience.

Your Pause for Skin & Soul ✨🌿

24th March – 28th March 2026
Join me in Marrakech for a deeply restful stay in the beautiful

Rooted in the four pillars of wellbeing - water, nutrition, movement, and sleep - this retreat is a deeper reflection of what nourishes me and my skin, with the hope it offers the same for you.

Set in the heart of the medina (my soul home), every detail has been curated to help you slow down. Picture this:

✨ Expert skin love

✨ Feel-good movement
✨ Time to pause

This is your retreat to reconnect and remember what it feels like to feel your best, inside and out.

Treating wrinkles isn’t just about the skin 🤍

It’s also about what’s happening underneath... your muscles and your lymphatic flow. 🌿

When facial muscles stay tense, they crease the skin over and over and when your lymph nodes aren’t moving freely, fluid can build up, circulation slows and lines can appear more noticeable.

By gently relaxing overactive muscles and encouraging lymphatic drainage, the face can naturally soften. Paired with treatments like HIFU and RF microneedling, results will last longer and look more natural ✨

A little reminder that treatments definitely help, but they’re only one part of the story - It’s the daily habits that create the foundation for everything else to truly work! 🌱

22/01/2026

It’s not about drastic changes or entirely new skincare routines... it’s better consistency with the daily habits ✨

If we’re chasing that glazed-doughnut glow in 2026 (who wouldn’t be?!), it’s time to zoom out and look at the bigger picture before stressing the tiny details. Your skincare is your supplements and your daily choices are your foundations 🌿

So let’s put skin health first and glow together... which one of these are you working on first this new year? 💃

1 year on from one of the most dreamiest weekends in my soul home, and there might be something exciting being announced soon... any guesses? 🌿✨

Long-term Skin Health isn’t just skincare. It’s skin care from all angles. 🌱

The daily routines, the basics and the repeatable actions that build the foundation for lasting results. Yes, there’s science behind it, but it’s also about nature, calm and nurturing your overall wellness. One action supports another and suddenly the puzzle will start to come together.✨

If 2026 is the year you want to start (or recommit to) glowing, healthy skin, now’s the perfect moment to book your next appointment. My diary is finally open to new clients, so come take a pause and experience true skin health with someone who truly understands your skin. 🤍

A question I get asked a lot especially when I tell people to cut out the inflammatory foods that everyone loves - gluten, wheat, dairy, white carbs, refined sugar, refined salt…. To calm the inflammation in their skin.

So here I am whipping up my morning smoothie which 90% of the time is how I start my day. The good thing about a smoothie is you can chuck everything in! And mix it up, tomorrow it might be full of leafy greens & ginger.

Happy Sunday people, you can see this is raw filling and no fancy editing has been done on this post 🙃✌🏼

Hey Lovely Faces, little Christmas update from Pause & me.

I’ll also be opening the clinic for the last SHOP SATURDAY of the year….
Saturday 20th December, 12–2:30pm for products and physical gift vouchers. No appointment needed just call in within these times. There will be 20% off all products (that are in stock) for members and 10% off for everyone else. And I’ve got a goodie bag for everyone that does call in!
Online vouchers remain available at all times.

Gua Sha stones are on their way; so many of you have asked. I can’t promise they’ll arrive before Christmas, but I’m hopeful. You can order now and will be dispatched as soon as they land.

The clinic will close on 19th December and reopen on 6th January, a moment for me to properly Pause.

Product orders can be placed until 22nd December for postage or click & collect. Orders after this date will be dispatched from 3rd January. Your support through product orders truly makes a difference, and I’m always grateful.

Looking ahead to the New Year, I’ll be launching 4/5 new facials, I’m excited for 2026

Appointments for 2026 are now open (I book several months in advance).

Thank you, always, to Team Pause; for the trust, the loyalty, and the love you continue to show this space.

/ Let me introduce myself...

I’m Kelly, owner of Pause Skin Clinic in Bristol.🌿

With over 26 years in the industry, I’ve learned exactly what it takes to create long-lasting, natural results. Yes, it’s about science...but it’s also about a soulful touch, a place to unwind and the time to simply pause.✨

Healthy skin isn’t just about what we do on the outside. It’s about how we nourish ourselves from within too - holistically, and through lifestyle. I’m not one for quick fixes or injectables. I believe in skin longevity and that’s where the real glow comes from. ✨

Over the years I’ve treated thousands of clients and worked with almost every skin concern you can imagine.

So if you’re looking for a skin therapist who truly understands skin inside and out, you’ve found the right place 🤍
