N Skyn Esthetiek

I can be a fun esthetician 😂🙈 but I know where my boundaries and responsibilities are as a professional.

I don’t ask “if you don’t mind me asking… who did your last treatment?” I’m interested in your skin, what treatment you had and how your skin responded — not who treated you.

I don’t expect you to know everything about skin or skincare. You came to me for guidance, and it’s my job to educate you.

If another professional does get mentioned, I simply say we all work according to our own training, experience and professional judgement. I focus on what I can assess in front of me.

I always say compare work, education, skills and achieved results — not just prices. There’s much more behind a treatment than the price attached to it.

I’ll never promise you someone else’s results. Different skin, lifestyle, age, environment, stress levels and treatment history can all influence how skin responds.

I won’t perform a treatment simply because you ask for it. If I don’t believe it’s appropriate for your skin, I’ll tell you — even if that means saying no.

And I don’t choose treatments because they’re trending. Trends and temporary both start with T… I’ll just leave that there 😂🙈

Your skin is never something you need to apologise for in my treatment room. Whatever condition it’s in, we focus on understanding it and moving forward.

You’re not just a number to me. Your skin matters to me because it matters to you. My treatment room is about education, honesty and finding a way forward — never judgement. 🤗

Growing up, I never thought I’d choose skin as my profession, let alone fall in love with it the way I have. (Client Skin Journey — Part II)🥹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But here I am, doing something I genuinely love and seeing the difference it can make to someone’s skin and confidence. That means more to me than any of the other professions I once had on my list.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I always say, I didn’t choose skin, skin chose me 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m so grateful to every client who has trusted me with their skin and committed to the process. Results like these are a team effort. We achieve them together. 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And this is exactly the knowledge and approach I want to pass on through N SKYN Esthetiek Academy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If skin is your true passion and you want to make a real difference to your clients, this academy is for you. We don’t talk about numbers, trends or shortcuts. We focus on education, understanding the skin, treating it correctly and learning how to achieve results like these for your own clients.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Real education, real knowledge and real results.

A little lift, sculpt & glow 💫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve recently added some new multifunctional tools to my treatments, and I’m loving the results already 😍 I used them during two different cleansing steps, followed by lifting, sculpting and a relaxing, soothing massage.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And you can definitely see the difference 👀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Add it to your next treatment and experience it for yourself 🤍

AI can’t take over my job… but Liquid Microneedling might 😂🙈🥹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A whole year of commitment, trust, consistency and understanding the 80/20 approach and most importantly, her confidence has been restored. 🥹
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Selfies like these remind me exactly why I do what I do.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No miracle treatment and no overnight fix. Just a customised skincare routine, monthly corrective treatments and her commitment to the process.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Healthy skin takes time. There are no shortcuts and no single treatment or product will transform your skin overnight.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stay consistent, trust the process, but also do your research before trusting someone with your skin. The wrong advice or treatment can create damage that is much harder to correct later ( just like I shared in my last post).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Protect your skin first, rather than having to repair it later. 🤍

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

THIS IS NOT A BEFORE & AFTER — THIS IS A SKIN SAFETY & AWARENESS POST. 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes being a good skin professional isn’t about knowing what to treat — it’s knowing when NOT to treat.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is a long-term client who has always had beautiful, healthy skin. A few months ago, I noticed increased redness, sensitivity and mild breakouts. After a thorough consultation, I advised her to investigate possible internal triggers with an appropriate healthcare professional. She later discovered an issue with dairy and is also experiencing perimenopausal symptoms — both important considerations when looking at changes in the skin.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hadn’t seen her for a few months. When she returned, this was her skin.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
During that time, she had been given oral acne medication by someone who was not medically qualified to prescribe it and told to take it for a month.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is where scope of practice matters.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As an esthetician, I do not diagnose medical conditions or prescribe medication. Oral isotretinoin is a prescription-only medicine in the UK and requires appropriate medical assessment and monitoring.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She asked what treatment I could perform. My answer was none.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Her skin was visibly inflamed and her barrier appeared compromised. Instead of adding more stress to the skin, my approach is to support barrier recovery, simplify homecare and use Dermalux LED, alongside appropriate medical advice regarding the medication.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Please don’t take medication simply because it worked for someone else, someone recommends it, or it’s readily available elsewhere. Your skin, health history and circumstances are individual — your treatment should be too.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Knowing your scope, knowing when to refer and, most importantly, knowing when NOT to treat is part of being a responsible skin professional.

ACNE IS MANAGEABLE — BUT IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT THE BREAKOUT YOU CAN SEE.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Acne starts developing beneath the surface weeks before a visible lesion appears. The earliest stage is called a microcomedone.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In acne-prone skin, abnormal follicular keratinisation causes skin cells to accumulate and combine with excess sebum, contributing to blocked follicles.

C. acnes also plays a role.
This bacterium naturally lives on our skin. It isn’t something we simply need to “kill.” Acne develops through an interaction between sebum, follicular blockage, C. acnes activity and inflammation.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s why effective acne management isn’t about aggressively drying out the skin. It’s about understanding what is happening within the follicle and managing it correctly:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• regulate excess sebum
• support healthy cell turnover
• reduce congestion and inflammation
• manage C. acnes activity
• maintain a healthy skin barrier
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Acne is multifactorial. Genetics, hormones, sebum production, follicular keratinisation, inflammation, certain medications and lifestyle/environmental factors can all contribute or influence breakouts. There is rarely one single cause and there isn’t one solution that works for everyone.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We don’t just treat what we see. We understand what’s happening underneath and treat the skin accordingly.
