Town House - The Face & Body Clinic

"Can I just have a little bit more?"

Famous last words.

Sometimes lips are a bit like cushions.

A small amount makes them look comfortable.

Too much and suddenly you've got something that belongs on the sofa.

The most beautiful lips aren't always the biggest.

They're the ones that suit your face.

That's why we'll often recommend less than you think you need.

Because balance never goes out of fashion.

As she's currently in Ibiza... here's a pic of our Clinic Manager in Ibiza last year.

SPF isn't just for Ibiza!

Every summer I hear:

"But Eliza... it's cloudy."

Meanwhile UVA rays are working harder than a toddler on a packet of Haribo.

The rays responsible for premature ageing don't take a day off just because the Cotswolds forgot it's supposed to be summer.

Fine lines.
Pigmentation.
Loss of elasticity.

Much of what we treat in clinic could have been reduced with daily SPF.

Think of SPF as less of a beauty product and more of an anti-ageing investment. As well as the health benefits.

Future You is already grateful. Choose a SPF of at least 30 to 50 (not included in makeup) and ensure that it is broad spectrum to protect your skin against UVA and UVB, all year round.

And when the sun is shining, make like Nicki and wear a summer hat to further protect your investment.

If your skin could send you a notification, it might say:

🔋 Battery Low: 12% Remaining

As we age, our skin's natural reserves start to decline.

Collagen production slows down.

Hydration levels drop.

Cell turnover becomes less efficient.

And suddenly your skin doesn't seem to bounce back quite like it used to.

You know the feeling...

You sleep well but still look tired.

You moisturise but your skin still feels dull.

You look in the mirror and think:

"I don't look bad... I just don't look like me."

The good news is that ageing skin isn't necessarily damaged skin.

Sometimes it simply needs a recharge.

That's where treatments designed to improve skin quality, stimulate collagen and restore hydration can make a real difference.

Not to change your face.

Not to make you look 20 again.

Just to help your skin feel like it's got a full battery for once.

🔋 100% charged is the goal.

Who's currently running on low power mode? 👇

Following on from yesterday's post. This is a photo of the new SKIMS face wrap...

So now we're wearing shapewear... for our faces?

The new SKIMS face wrap promises a more sculpted jawline whilst you sleep.

The problem?

There is currently no evidence that wearing a compression wrap can permanently tighten skin, lift sagging tissue or change your facial structure.

At best, you may wake up looking slightly less puffy.

At worst, you might be adding another step to a beauty routine that was already asking far too much of you.

What concerns us most isn't the product itself.

It's that products like this are increasingly being marketed to younger women who are being taught to worry about "fixing" things that often don't need fixing in the first place.

At Town House, we're all for helping women feel confident in their skin.

But confidence shouldn't come from constantly being told there's something wrong with your face.

You don't need to be "snatched."

You don't need to be shrink-wrapped.

And you certainly don't need to sleep dressed like a post-facelift patient.

We said what we said.

What do you think? Genius innovation or beauty industry gone mad?

Ever seen someone describe their aesthetic goal as "snatched"?

At this point, we're not entirely sure whether they're talking about their face or preparing for a bank robbery.

The truth is, there's a big difference between looking lifted and looking like you've been shrink-wrapped.

And truthfully, we're saddened to see much of this being targets towards a young audience. More on that to come in tomorrow's post.

A beautiful result isn't about pulling everything as tight as humanly possible. It's about restoring support, improving skin quality and helping you look fresher, healthier and more rested.

The best compliment after treatment isn't:

"Wow, you've had loads done!"

It's:

"You look amazing. Have you been doing something different with your skincare?"

Natural. Refreshed. Still recognisably YOU. WITHOUT walking around looking like you're about to commit daylight robbery.

That's the Town House way and we won't budge on it.
