Its not often we get new products from Janesce Skincare so when the new Affinite Range launched last year I was hopping around like an overexcited toddler on christmas morning 😅

As each product launched I found a new favourite, Affinite has become my go to both for my own skin and for facials. With its focus on collagen care and , these products are absolutely ideal for supporting vibrant ageing because the give your skin nourishment from whole plant extracts, it creates a solid foundation where actives like Hyaluronic Acid, silk proteins, and pre-biotics can truly shine. They stay effective for longer, keeping your skin soft, elastic, and beautifully radiant.

If I had to narrow it down to my absolute favs, it would have to be the Decolletage Cream and The Silken Rose Serum, with the new eye cream and cleanser following close behind 🥰

Auckland has slipped into that heavy, humid stretch of summer where even the calmest skin starts to feel a bit overwhelmed. If your usual routine suddenly feels too rich or your skin is looking shinier than usual, you’re not alone — heat and humidity change the way our skin behaves.

In this weeks newsletter I’m sharing a few simple, practical tweaks to help your skin feel fresher, lighter, and more comfortable in this weather. Link at the top.

Buccal work is incredibly effective when done with precision and presence.

It’s a great addition to facial work, if you’ve been wanting to add this to your ‘toolbox of skills’ come and join me on Feb 17 in Auckland. This is your chance to learn it safetly and confidently.

This would also be a great refresher if you’ve previously learnt the skills but don’t quite feel ready to use them in salon just yet.

Do you ever think we just have too much choice these days? In many ways that is a blessing of modern life but it can get overwhelming. Ever seen anyone in the throws of 'choice stress' in the supermarket?

One of the most frequent things people say to me is 'I wasn't sure which facial to book' and thats always been a little loop running in the back of my mind, I wanted to make sure my clients had one less moment of choice inertia in life.

Over the holidays I’ve made a few tweaks to my treatment menu that I hope makes things easier. You’ll notice clearer treatment options, a simpler flow and more space for the slow, grounding work so many of you love.

You'll also notice the new TheraFacial on there, as the name suggests this is my Therapeutic Facial which is as much about calming the nervous system as it is about skin, in fact I always think the skin benefits are the cherry on top.

Therafacial is a high touch, massage based facial, to help rebalance you mind, body and soul. Its to rebalance tightness and tension in the head, neck, face and shoulders. Its about creating a time and space for you to switch off, to drift off into that beautiful theta space that allows you to rest and just be.

I'm very happy to back in salon now, on slightly reduced summer hours through to the end of February, here's the booking link if you'd like to make an appointment.

I hope your summer has been good so far and you've had a moment to breathe before the year ramps up again

I've taken some time to do a little revamp to my facial menu, mostly to make things more streamline and straight forward, but I'm also delighted to introduce The TheraFacial™ a slower, deeper, more restorative way of working that’s been quietly taking shape behind the scenes

I’m back in salon from Wed 7th Jan, with slightly reduced summer hours while everyone settles back into real life

What an epic facial, if I do say so myself 🤭
Just finished the salon day with The Ultimate Radiance Facial.

This Facial really gives me the time to draw on all my skills (I’ve got a few after 40 years) and create a truely artisan treatment absolutely customised each and every time.

Awesome 🥰 truly makes my heart sing

Holistic Skincare & Therapeutic Beauty

Holistic Skin Therapy is a natural, nurturing approach to skin care. It looks beyond the surface, right down to a cellular level, to optimise skin health.

The magic is in the massage! My treatments are based on natural skin care & massage. The initial focus is always to calm any sensitivity, then to release stress & tension. Tightness in muscles, caused by stress, tension & stored emotions inhibits the natural flow of nutrients to the skin. Over time, this affects the health & radiance causing premature ageing. Skin can also become dull, congested or puffy. Massage encourages a good flow of fresh nutrients & efficient waste removal. This means skin can function well, stay balanced & healthy. Healthy skin is happy skin, happy skin glows.

It's very exciting to see this holistic approach to beauty becoming more mainstream. I always instinctively knew a facial was so much more than just a skin treatment. Now I know it is an excellent addition to any wellbeing regime, offering benefits to mind, body & soul. Beautiful skin is the added bonus!
