There's no point in investing in high quality skincare products if you aren't following these rules 👇

💧 Stay hydrated
Drink plenty of water to keep your skin plump and fresh.

🛏️ Get enough sleep
Your skin repairs itself while you rest.

🧺 Change your pillow cases weekly
Think of the oil, dirt and dead skin that lives in your bed...

🥗 Eat a balanced diet
Fruits, veggies, and healthy fats = happy skin.

🍬 Limit your sugar intake
Sweet treats are tempting, but your skin won't thank you!

🫧 Wash your hands before doing your skincare
You can't clean your face with dirty hands!

🧼 Cleanse gently
Use lukewarm water and your hands; avoid harsh scrubs.

☀️ Protect from the sun
Cover up with clothes or shade when SPF isn’t handy.

🧊 Ice your breakouts
Stop picking your spots! Soothe them instead.

👐 Hands off your face
Touching can transfer dirt and oils, causing breakouts. And we don't want that.

Which one of these are you the most guilty for? 🫣

Top tips to keep that post-facial glow ✨

Do:
💧 Keep your skin clean + hydrated with gentle products
☀️ Apply SPF daily (your skin is more sensitive to the sun after treatments)
🥤 Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins + boost your glow
📝 Follow any aftercare advice from your therapist and book your next appointment

Don’t:
🙅‍♀️ Touch, pick or squeeze your skin
🧴 Use harsh scrubs, acids or retinoids for at least 48h but ideally 3-5 days
🥵 Expose your skin to sun, saunas, steam rooms, or heavy workouts for 24–48 hours
💄 Wear heavy makeup straight after your treatment

Your skin is at its most receptive after a facial, so treat it kindly and you’ll enjoy that glow for even longer! ✨

💧 Hydrating vs Moisturising 🧴 … what’s the difference?

They might sound the same, but they actually do two very different jobs for your skin:

💦 Hydrating = adding water into the skin.
Think of humectant ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin or aloe vera. They pull water into your skin cells to make it plump, fresh and bouncy. If your skin feels dull, rough or tight, it’s probably dehydrated and in need of hydration.

💦 Moisturising = locking water in.
Moisturisers with ceramides, shea butter or squalane seal that hydration in and strengthen your skin barrier, keeping it soft and smooth. If your skin feels flaky or itchy, it’s dry and craving moisture.

✨ The key difference:

Hydrating = adds water 💧
Moisturising = locks it in 🔒

The best routine? Use hydrating ingredients first, then moisturise to seal everything in. That way your skin gets both the water it needs and the protection to keep it there.

It’s not just a facial… it’s a treatment for your skin health AND your self-care.

Our facials go far beyond relaxation 🧘‍♀️ They’re designed to target real concerns, from acne and pigmentation to ageing and dehydration, using medical-grade skincare, professional techniques, and specialist expertise.

Think of it as an investment in you:
🫧 Rejuvenating your skin at a deeper level
🫧 Boosting hydration and radiance
🫧 Stimulating collagen for long-term results
🫧 Protecting your skin barrier and future-proofing your glow ✨

But it’s also self-care, that quiet time to pause, unwind, focus on yourself, talk through any stresses, and leave you feeling positive in mind, body and soul 😌

Because looking after your skin is looking after your wellbeing, too 🌱

Think about it, the constant cost of razors, the irritation, the nicks, the ingrown hairs, and the last-minute panic before a night out or holiday, it adds up in both time and money, and life is already busy enough! 🫨

Microneeling or Chemical Peels - Which treatment is best for me? Let's find out 👇

✨ Microneedling

How it works:
🪡 Uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin.
🪡 This triggers the body’s natural healing response → increased collagen + elastin production.

Best for:
✅ Fine lines & wrinkles
✅ Acne scars and other scars (NOT suitable for active acne!)
✅ Enlarged pores
✅ Uneven skin texture
✅ Early signs of ageing

Downtime:
👹 Usually 24–48 hours of redness, like a light sunburn.
👹 Skin may feel a little tight or sensitive for a few days.

Results:
🫧 Gradual improvement over several sessions.
🫧 Skin looks plumper, firmer, and smoother over time.

✨ Chemical Peels

How it works:
🧬 Uses a chemical solution (various strengths) to exfoliate the top layers of skin.
🧬 This removes dead skin cells and stimulates cell turnover.

Best for:
✅ Pigmentation & sun damage
✅ Uneven skin tone
✅ Dullness
✅ Acne & post-acne marks
✅ Fine surface lines

Downtime (depending on peel strength):
🍌 Light peel: mild flaking for a couple of days
🍌 Medium/deep peel: redness & peeling for 5–7+ days

Results:
🫧 Brighter, fresher skin after just one session.
🫧More even tone and texture with a course of treatments.

🌟 Key Difference

Microneedling = collagen stimulation + long-term structural improvements.
Chemical Peel = exfoliation + faster surface-level renewal.

👉 We will sometimes combines the two in treatment plans for powerful results, depending on your individual skin goals.

Do you know your skin type? 👇

Understanding your skin is the first step to choosing the right products and treatments:

🫧 Normal Skin
Balanced, smooth texture with small pores. Rarely breaks out or feels sensitive. Easy to maintain with gentle cleansing, hydration + SPF.

🫧 Dry Skin
Lacks natural oil, feels tight, rough or flaky. Can look dull and show fine lines more easily. Needs nourishing hydration (think hyaluronic acid, ceramides, vitamin E).

🫧 Oily Skin
Produces excess sebum → shiny T-zone, enlarged pores, prone to blackheads + acne. Loves oil-balancing, non-comedogenic products, light hydration + gentle exfoliation.

🫧 Combination Skin
Oily in some areas (T-zone), dry/normal in others (cheeks). Shiny and tight in different zones. Needs a tailored approach: lighter products on oily areas, richer hydration on drier spots.

🫧 Sensitive Skin
Highly reactive, easily irritated by products, weather, or lifestyle. Often shows redness, stinging, itching or flare-ups. Best with gentle, fragrance-free, calming ingredients like aloe vera + niacinamide.

✨ top tip: You can have a skin type AND a skin condition (e.g. oily + acne-prone, dry + sensitive). That’s why personalised skincare is so important!
