Every time fingers go into a skincare jar, bacteria go in too.

Even on clean hands, the skin naturally carries microorganisms. When these are introduced into a product, they can multiply over time, especially in water-based formulations. This can compromise product stability, reduce efficacy, and increase the risk of irritation, breakouts, and barrier disruption, particularly for acne-prone or sensitised skin.

Where possible, decant creams using a clean spatula and don't double dip!

It is a small habit that protects your skin, preserves your products, and supports healthier long-term results.

Healthy skin is built on good technique as much as good ingredients.

The EMS Pelvic Floor Chair is a non-invasive clinical treatment that uses high-intensity electromagnetic stimulation to strengthen and rehabilitate the pelvic floor.

It is quickly becoming one of my most requested treatments (outside of facials), with clients consistently commenting on how comfortable and relaxing the sessions are and how confident they feel as strength and control improve.

In a single 30-minute session, 11,000 deep muscle contractions are triggered, activating muscles that are often difficult to engage with exercises alone.

This treatment supports bladder control, post-pregnancy recovery, post-menopausal changes, core stability, and intimate wellbeing. It is also beneficial following surgery, high-impact sport, or prolonged sitting.

Sessions are completed fully clothed, with no internal treatment and no downtime. Pelvic health is fundamental to long-term comfort, confidence, and quality of life, yet it is very often overlooked.

This image of me is unfiltered and unflattering, and that is exactly the point!

What you see on the surface of the skin rarely tells the full story. Skin can appear calm, flushed, dull, or uneven on the outside, while very different processes are happening underneath.

Vascular activity, inflammation, barrier disruption, dehydration, lymphatic stagnation, and cellular stress are not always obvious to an untrained eye, but they dramatically influence how the skin behaves, heals, and responds to treatment.

Choosing skincare and treatments based on what you “see” or what friends recommend, without any understanding of what is happening beneath the surface, often leads to over-treatment, compromised barriers, increased sensitivity, and stalled results. Devices, actives, and treatments should be chosen by a professional, not a friend, based on skin function, not just appearance.

I'm trained to assess, interpret, and work with the skin at a cellular level so that changes are meaningful, sustainable, and safe.

Skin transformation starts with understanding.

Clinical Skin Multi-Lipid Moisturiser is designed to do more than simply hydrate the surface of the skin. It works at barrier level, replenishing the essential lipids that healthy skin needs to function properly.

By restoring the correct balance of ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids, it helps strengthen the skin barrier, reduce water loss, and improve overall skin resilience.

This makes it particularly effective for compromised, sensitised, post-treatment, acne-prone, or dehydrated skin. Rather than feeling heavy or occlusive, it supports the skin’s own repair processes, helping skin feel calmer, stronger, and more comfortable.

Ekseption Skin Relief Fluid is designed for skins that are reactive, inflamed, sensitised or struggling with barrier disruption.

This lightweight, calming emulsion immediately reduces redness, discomfort, and heat in the skin while actively supporting barrier repair and resilience. Rather than masking symptoms, it addresses the underlying inflammatory pathways that keep the skin stuck in a reactive cycle.

Ideal for compromised barriers, rosacea-prone skin or those experiencing irritation from actives, this fluid delivers soothing hydration without heaviness or occlusion. The skin feels calmer, more comfortable and visibly less reactive, allowing normal repair processes to resume.

When skin is telling you it needs support rather than stimulation, this is the kind of product that restores balance and protects long-term skin health. Thoughtful formulation, clinical intent, and barrier-first skin care in practice.

I always say the real work happens between appointments. Consistent home care, following the correct routine, and respecting the skin daily are what truly create lasting, visible results.

My role is to assess, guide, and enhance what my clients are already doing so well. When practitioner and client work together, that is when skin genuinely transforms. I am so proud to be part of my clients’ skin journeys and to support their commitment to their skin health every single day.😍

My new cloud-based website launches this Thursday, 15th Jan, designed to make your online experience faster, smoother, and more reliable. I have been working very hard behind the scenes to create a better experience for you, including improved search functionality, more features, faster checkout, improved mobile performance, and easier access to your favourite brands and treatments.

As I transition from the old website to the new system, some areas may take a little time to fully update and synchronise. You may notice a few adjustments during the first few days as everything settles into place. If you do experience any problems, please do not hesitate to contact me at bev@thebeautybistro.co.uk or cusotmercare@thebeautybistro.co.uk.

Thank you in advance for your patience and continued support. I cannot wait for you to explore the new site.

It's TRUE!

DMK home prescriptive products are formulated with advanced transepidermal delivery systems, which allow active ingredients to be absorbed into the epidermis and continue working in the skin for up to 8 hours.

Rather than sitting on the surface or evaporating, nutrients are gradually released to the cells, supporting hydration, barrier repair and cellular function long after application.

This is why consistency matters more than excess. When applied correctly, the skin is continually nourished throughout the day/night, allowing true skin revision rather than temporary cosmetic results. Skincare should not just feel good for a moment. It should work intelligently with your skin for hours after you apply it.

Inflamed acne is not just a surface issue. It is a sign of chronic inflammation, impaired circulation, lymphatic congestion and a compromised skin barrier.

This result shows the before and after of one professional enzyme treatment using DMK's advanced skin-revision principles.

DMK enzyme therapy works by increasing oxygenation, stimulating circulation and lymphatic drainage, and encouraging the skin to function correctly again. As inflammation calms, redness reduces, congestion softens, and the skin starts to repair itself.

Acne does not need to be attacked with over-exfoliation. It needs to be corrected with the right skincare, treatments, and internal support.

Coming soon in 2026!

SENTÉ Defense C Serum 🩷

Vitamin C does not have to be aggressive to be effective. SENTÉ Defense C Serum uses 20% tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, a highly stable, lipid-soluble form of vitamin C that penetrates efficiently while remaining exceptionally well tolerated. Combined with vitamin E and SENTÉ's patented Heparan Sulfate Analogue technology, it helps calm inflammation, strengthen the skin barrier, and support long-term skin resilience.

Perfect as a daily antioxidant serum for all skins, designed for results, not reactivity. Unlike traditional L-ascorbic acid, it does not sting, disrupt the barrier, or trigger redness, making it suitable for sensitive, reactive, rosacea-prone, and post-procedure skin.

• Brightens dull-looking skin
• Visibly improves tone and texture
• Defends against environmental damage
• Protects against oxidative stress
• Supports collagen production
• Minimises irritation for sensitive skin
• Improves skin luminosity for an enviable glow

Definitely one to try when it arrives!

Why doing more to your skin often gives you less.

Overloading the skin with excessive actives, over-exfoliating, or constant stimulation can compromise barrier function, increase inflammation, and slow the skin’s natural repair processes. What often looks like “progress” in the short term can quietly undermine long-term skin health.

Professional skin care is not about doing everything available. It is about understanding skin physiology, recognising when to intervene, and knowing when to step back and allow the skin to recover, rebalance, and strengthen. Something that I know well.

Restraint is not under-treating.
It is skilled, informed practice.

Why your skincare stopped working (and it’s not the product’s fault)!

If your skin results have stalled, it doesn’t automatically mean your skincare has failed. Skin adapts. Hormones shift. Inflammation accumulates. Barriers weaken. What once worked beautifully may no longer meet your skin’s current biological needs. Plateaus are not failure. They are feedback. This is often the moment your skin is asking for reassessment, not replacement. Read more in my latest blog.
