Do you feel like you are taking a step back with your skin at times?

Read this ⬇️

When you start using certain active ingredients in skincare like retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, or vitamin C, your skin cell turnover speeds up. This means that any blockages, excess oil, or buildup sitting beneath the surface rise to the top more quickly. The result? Breakouts that may look like your skin is “worsening.”

This process is called purging, and it’s actually a sign that your skin is responding to the treatment. Unlike regular breakouts, purging usually happens in areas where you already tend to get spots and should improve within 4–6 weeks as your skin adjusts.

If breakouts appear in new areas, feel painful, or last beyond this period, it’s likely an irritation or reaction and not purging

This is your reminder to be patient with your skin journey.
Long lasting healthy skin is the goal. Not quick fixes that often damage the skin further.

Sensitive, redness prone skin………

This cleanser is a lifeline for compromised skin.

It works at calming the skin, reducing irritation and helping to reduce redness.

If your skin is feeling tight and irritated, try switching to this cleanser.

Often, just switching to a non-irritating cleanser that isn’t stripping the skin but nourishing it can make a massive difference to how your skin looks and feels.
It’s a favourite at skin clinic.

STRESSED SKIN? HERE’S WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON…

When you’re stressed, your skin knows it—before you’ve even had chance to catch your breath.
Here’s how stress shows up on your face

Breakouts or flare-ups ✔️
Increased sensitivity ✔️
Dull, tired-looking skin✔️
Dehydration ✔️
Slower healing ✔️

That’s because stress increases cortisol (the stress hormone), which can throw your skin’s barrier and oil production into chaos.

So, how can we calm stressed skin?
It starts from both outside and within……….

Skincare✅
Think barrier-repairing ingredients, calming botanicals, and simplicity. This isn’t the time for harsh actives—your skin needs soothing and support.

Treatments✅
Targeted facials can help reduce inflammation, boost circulation, and give your skin (and mind) a moment to reset. Think of it as therapy… for your face.

Nutrition & Gut Health ✅
A stressed gut often shows up in the skin. Nourishing your body with whole foods, staying hydrated, and supporting gut health can bring noticeable results on the outside too.

Healthy, glowing skin isn’t a one-off. It’s a journey.

This beautiful client didn’t come to me looking for a quick fix. She came ready to commit to her skin, trust the process, and build real, lasting change.

We’ve focused on -
Strengthening her skin barrier ✔️
Understanding what her skin actually needs ✔️
Creating a personalised treatment & home care plan ✔️
Showing her that consistency equals healthy skin ✔️

A Glow like this doesn’t come from one facial, it comes from the right knowledge, the right products, and the right support.

If you’re tired of trying every new product or trending facial with no results… maybe it’s time to stop guessing and start working with your skin and what it needs, rather than what you think it needs.

This week I’m spotlighting the Aqua Infusion Mask. A dreamy drink of water for thirsty, dull or stressed-out skin.
Formulated with hyaluronic acid and natural moisturising factors, this mask doesn’t just sit on the surface – it replenishes, hydrates, and brings radiance back to your skin barrier where it matters most.

Apply a generous layer
Put your feet up (or grab your gua sha)
Let the mask work its magic for 10–15 mins
Rinse off
Apply your finishing products
Now you are ready to glow ⭐️

Your skin will thank you with glow, softness and a revitalised feel.
The ultimate skin self-care ritual, especially if you’ve been feeling dry, tight or tired.

Skin Tip……..

How often do you change your pillowcase?

If you suffer with breakouts, the bacteria in your skin collects on your pillowcase (not just those with breakouts, it happens to everyone). You are using the right products, making lifestyle changes & sticking to your routine consistently, but keep getting set backs. Your pillowcase is likely to be a factor contributing.

Try changing your pillowcase more frequently.

It sounds so simple but our skin excretes & especially through the night when it is most active & working at repairing itself. As your skin excretes, the bacteria, along with oils & debris & dead skin that has detached, become trapped on your pillowcase. The next night after performing your cleansing, you go back to sleep on that very pillowcase, your skin excretes some more, but you already have a build up from previous nights.

Think about the changes you can make like this simple one in your life to help your skin.

Pat rated us 5 out of 5!

I was given a warm welcome which made me feel at ease straight away as Beth and I had never met before. I had the Heavenly Ritual treatment which certainly is the right description! Beth enquired about any particular problem areas I wanted her to concentrate on and took great care to 'iron out ' the knots in my neck. The head massage was wonderful and just what I needed. Would definitely recommend Beth and her amazing treatment! Thank you Beth, see you soon xx

3 signs your moisturiser isn’t working the way it should:

Your skin feels dry again within an hour. ❌

You feel the need to reapply multiple times a day.❌

You’re experiencing flakiness, sensitivity, or breakouts❌

How can I fix this?
Focus on repairing the skin barrier first. ✅

Using a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser✅

Incorporating barrier-strengthening ingredients (like ceramides, niacinamide, or omegas)✅

Avoiding over-exfoliation✅
