The Skin Care Clinic

Skin tip Monday ⚠️ Controversial but true: most people with 'sensitive' skin actually have OVER-EXFOLIATED skin.

Scrubs, acid toners, exfoliating cleansers, retinoids — stack them daily and your skin barrier waves a white flag: redness, stinging, breakouts, tightness.

For most skins, 1-2 gentle exfoliations a week is plenty — and professional treatments (peels, microdermabrasion) do the deeper work safely.

Suspect you have overdone it? Stop the acids, keep it simple, and come and see us for a proper assessment 💛

Party season countdown ⏳ If your skin could RSVP to December looking one way, which would you pick?

✨ = Brighter, more radiant
💧 = Plump and hydrated
🎯 = Clearer, calmer
⏳ = Firmer, smoother

MYTH: 'Facials are just a lovely hour of pampering.'

FACT: A generic fluffy facial? Maybe. But an analysis-led, results-driven facial using medical-grade AlumierMD products, professional-strength enzyme peels, LED therapy and galvanic current? That creates real, visible, cumulative change in your skin.

(The relaxing hour is just an excellent side effect 😌)

The glow-getters ✨ As party season approaches, two treatments become the most requested in our diary:

💧 HydraFacial — deep cleanses, exfoliates and floods the skin with hydration in one visit. Zero downtime, instant results.

🌟 illumiFacial — targeted light-based brightening for tired, dull or congested skin.

Both are perfect 3-5 days before an event — or as a monthly habit your skin will thank you for.

Skin tip Monday 🧣 Think of autumn hydration like dressing for the weather: a hydrating serum is your base layer (it pulls water INTO the skin), and moisturiser is your coat (it stops that water escaping).

Serum without moisturiser = base layer with no coat. Moisturiser without serum = coat over bare skin. Together? Warm and comfortable all season 😄

Self-care Sunday 🔥 The radiators are going on across Somerset this week — and central heating is quietly one of the biggest causes of dry, tight, flaky winter skin. Warm dry air pulls moisture straight out of your skin barrier.

Easy defences:
💧 Hydrating serum morning and night
🚿 Keep showers warm, not scalding
🧴 Moisturise within 3 minutes of washing while skin is damp

And if your skin is already struggling, a hydrating facial can reset things beautifully — link in bio 💛
