SKN by Amy Cole

Peel season is officially here 🍂

So for October only, I’m making it a VERY good time to book one.

Book a new peel appointment in October for just £60 instead of £90 and your appointment will also include a FREE SKN Discovery so I can properly assess your skin and choose the right peel for you.

And if you decide to continue with a peel pathway after your appointment, you’ll also unlock the reduced pathway price of £225 for 3 instead of £270.

Perfect if you’re wanting to work on acne, pigmentation, congestion, texture or dull skin after summer.

Use code PEELSEASON when booking 🤎

Please note: offer is valid on new peel appointments booked for October only and cannot be applied to existing bookings. The pathway discount is only available to clients who book through this October offer.

INGREDIENTS 101 : Hyaluronic Acid

Welcome back to my Ingredients 101 mini series 👋🏼

Every Thursday I’m breaking down a different skincare ingredient, what it actually does, who it’s best for and where it fits into your routine. No complicated skincare science, just the bits you actually need to know.

This week… Hyaluronic Acid

A humectant that helps attract and hold water within the skin, making it a great ingredient for dehydration, tightness and helping the skin look plumper and smoother.

But remember dehydrated skin and dry skin aren’t the same thing. Hyaluronic acid adds water, but sometimes your skin needs more than hydration alone.

I was using all the viral products influencers told me would “cure” my acne

Multiple exfoliants a day, scrubbing away at my skin thinking more was better

My skin got redder, angrier and broke out more but I kept going because I thought it was just a purge.

Shocker !! It wasn’t

I’d completely compromised my skin barrier.

As soon as I stopped, stripped everything back and focused on calming my skin the redness settled and the breakouts actually started to subside.

Sometimes your skin doesn’t need MORE products.

It needs less.

INGREDIENTS 101 : Azelaic Acid

Welcome back to my Ingredients 101 mini series 👋🏼

Every Thursday I’m breaking down a different skincare ingredient, what it actually does, who it’s best for and where it fits into your routine. No complicated skincare science, just the bits you actually need to know.

This week… Azelaic Acid

One of my favourite ingredients for breakout prone, red or uneven skin. It helps calm inflammation, reduce congestion and breakouts, while also helping to fade the marks they can leave behind.

It’s a really useful all rounder, especially when your skin is dealing with more than one concern at once.

Let’s debunk the myth around chemical PEELS⬇️⬇️

I feel like when I mention chemical peels to clients they instantly picture the face shedding off like a snake. And I mean the word PEEL has alot to answer for I guess.

In reality the superficial peels I use are small but mighty. Your skin doesn’t need to shed to get brilliant results.

A bit of tightness and dryness ? Yes
Lots of moisturiser ? Also yes
Weeks of downtime ? Not here !!

INGREDIENTS 101 : Mandelic Acid

Welcome back to my Ingredients 101 mini series 👋🏼

Every Thursday I’m breaking down a different skincare ingredient, what it actually does, who it’s best for and where it fits into your routine. No complicated skincare science, just the bits you actually need to know.

This week… Mandelic Acid

A gentler AHA that’s a great option for breakout-prone, congested and more sensitive skin. It helps exfoliate the surface of the skin, improve texture and brighten uneven tone without being as intense as some other exfoliating acids.

Gentle doesn’t mean ineffective. sometimes choosing the right acid for your skin gets you much further than choosing the strongest.
