TODAY IS DAY ONE, IN HAUS🤎

It’s hard to put into words how this feels.

Ella-May Skincare started with a treatment bed I bought and would set up in my mum’s bedroom. I had no idea where it would take me - I just knew I loved what I was doing and wanted to give it everything I had.

Then came 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕱𝖆𝖈𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖘𝖘 𝕾𝖙𝖚𝖉𝖎𝖔, my first proper space and such a huge step in my journey. It gave me the opportunity to move out of my mum’s house and into an established salon, have a space with my own branding and really start getting Ella-May Skincare out there. It’s where I grew my client base, built confidence in my business and started to see what this could actually become.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐲 𝐏𝐨𝐝 came next and gave me the opportunity to take the biggest leap yet - going full-time with Ella-May Skincare and putting absolutely everything into growing my business.

And somehow, every one of those steps has brought me here.

My very own space🥹

Over the last few months, Chloe Pakau and I have worked tirelessly on IN HAUS , obsessing over every single detail to create something we are both incredibly proud of.

A space completely curated by us, for you.

To every client who has booked an appointment, recommended me to a friend, shared my work, followed along or supported me at any point over the years - thank you. I genuinely wouldn’t be standing here without you.

From setting up a treatment bed in my mum’s bedroom to opening the doors to my very own space… it feels a little surreal.

And this is only day one.

There is SO much more we can’t wait to bring to you, IN HAUS🤎

MICRODERMABRASION + CHEMICAL PEEL✨

Before treatment → just 4 days post treatment.

Not every skin result needs to be a crazy transformation.

Sometimes, it’s about giving your skin exactly what it needs - a refresh, a boost of hydration and that healthy glow back.

This treatment combined microdermabrasion with a chemical peel to help remove dead skin cells, improve skin texture and leave the complexion looking fresher, smoother and more rejuvenated.

Healthy skin is always the goal✨

Acne-prone skin isn’t one-size-fits-all 👀

Two people can come to me with what looks like the same concern, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to recommend the same products or treatment plan.

One person may have oily, congested skin that responds really well to certain active ingredients. Another may have inflamed, sensitive skin with a compromised barrier where throwing more acids and “acne products” at it could actually make things worse.

This is why I look at your skin as a whole, not just the breakout in front of me.

Your skin type, barrier health, sensitivity, current routine, lifestyle and the type of breakouts you’re experiencing all matter when deciding what your skin actually needs.

Stop treating the label and start treating YOUR skin🤍

If you’re struggling with acne-prone skin and feel like you’ve tried everything, drop me a message and we can look at creating a routine that’s actually tailored to you.

A few things you might want to avoid if you have acne-prone skin

When you’re struggling with breakouts, what you’re using at home can make such a difference. Certain ingredients and products can clog pores, irritate the skin barrier or trigger inflammation. Sometimes, simplifying your routine is the best place to start.

MY MUM 🔥🤍

This one feels extra special.

The second photo was actually taken 5 years ago, when I was just starting out in skin. My mum was my willing guinea pig from day one, supporting me when everything felt new, overwhelming and a little scary.

Back then, I was learning, experimenting and figuring out what worked and what didn’t. Some things worked, some didn’t. But as I continued to invest in my knowledge, training and experience, we’ve been able to completely transform the way we approach her skin.

Our main target has always been her rosacea, but along the way we’ve improved so much more than that - her overall skin health, strength, texture and appearance✨

Rosacea generally isn’t something we can simply “cure”. It’s a condition that needs to be managed and that’s exactly what we’ve focused on.

We started by stripping everything back.

Highly fragranced products were removed and, before even thinking about treatments, our priorities were:

✨ Calming inflammation
✨ Strengthening the skin barrier
✨ Improving overall skin health
✨ Identifying and reducing her triggers

Only once we had built a healthier, calmer foundation did we start introducing more advanced treatments.

Now, we maintain her results with Salmon DNA & Peptide Microneedling every 6 weeks, alongside a routine that supports her skin rather than constantly aggravating it.

Five years of learning, investing in my knowledge and understanding her skin better and I’m SO proud of how far we’ve come🥹

And forever grateful that my mum trusted me with her face from day one 😂🤍

9 months of treating sun-damaged, pigmented skin ✨

This transformation is the result of 9 pigmentation-focused microneedling sessions, alongside a tailored, medical-grade pigmentation skincare routine that my client followed religiously at home.

And the difference goes far beyond pigmentation.

Her pigmentation has visibly faded and her overall complexion looks brighter, clearer and more even - but look closely at the skin around her mouth and neck too. The improvement in skin quality, firmness and fine lines is incredible.

Microneedling stimulates the skin’s natural collagen production, which is why, alongside targeting pigmentation, we’ve seen such a noticeable improvement in the overall texture and appearance of her skin.

This is what can happen when professional treatments, the right homecare and consistency all work together🤍

For full transparency, my client has also had one session of IPL laser at another clinic during this period.

Results vary from person to person.

A consultation is always recommended to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your skin.
