As the seasons change, so should your skincare 🍂

Summer leaves its mark long after the tan fades - months of sun exposure, heat and higher humidity quietly wear down your skin's natural barrier and as the air turns cooler and drier, that weakened barrier struggles to hold onto moisture

The result is often skin that feels tighter, duller or more reactive than it did just weeks ago, even if nothing in your routine has changed

We’ve put together a short guide above on how to look after your skin between appointments this Autumn

Ready to give your skin what it's been quietly asking for? Book your next facial now & carry your skin beautifully into the season ahead 🍁

37 years of experience doesn’t mean 37 years of doing things the same way✨

From those early days of beauty training to where Laura is today, the industry has changed enormously — and so has she.

New treatments. New technology. New techniques. New knowledge.

But one thing that hasn’t changed is our belief in the importance of proper training, qualifications and maintaining the highest professional standards.

Because experience is incredibly valuable, but so is recognising that there is always more to learn.

37 years into her career, and still learning, still training, still embracing new developments and still passionate about raising standards within the beauty industry. 🌿

A lot has changed since that first photo was taken, but the dedication to learning and perfecting her craft certainly hasn’t. 🤍

Here’s to never standing still.

✨ Flashback to old-school beauty training ✨

You know you’ve been in the industry a while when the old training photos come out… and the hair deserves a post all of its own! 😂

Back when Laura trained as a beauty therapist, training was full-time and took three years. Anatomy & Physiology was studied to A-Level standard, uniform and presentation requirements were strict, and hours upon hours were spent learning, practising and perfecting treatments.

There were no shortcuts. You learnt your skills, practised them over and over, made mistakes, improved and kept going until you could deliver treatments to a genuinely high standard.

And customer service? That was considered every bit as important as the treatment itself.

Looking back, Laura is incredibly grateful for that foundation because it taught her something that has stayed with her throughout her entire career: standards matter.

Proper training matters. Qualifications matter. Continuing to learn matters. And when somebody trusts you with their skin, body and wellbeing, being properly trained and maintaining high professional standards should never be optional.

The beauty industry has changed enormously since these photos were taken, and Laura’s journey has taken her a very long way — but those foundations have never left her. They’re the same values we continue to hold at The Scented Garden today. 🌿

Although some things are probably best left firmly in the past…

Should I bring the perm back? 😂👇
