Skin Works

Clients during lockdown 🤣

Well today is the day we reopen in phase 1 with Pam heading in. The salon has been deep cleaned painted and touched up with all areas having been removed of anything that can’t be cleaned and serialised. We are leaving 15 mins extra after clients in order to change our PPE and clean room ready for the next client.
Please don’t arrive earlier than your time and please help us stay open by only using toilets if necessary and sticking to the rules with us.
Masks on for arrival please and hands to be sanitised at the station on arrival too. Please try not to bring anyone with you and minimise bags coats etc.
We will be in touch to book further appointments as we return to more days and longer treatments in early August.
Thank you so much for all your ongoing support and help over the last months which as a small company could have brought us to closure but we have managed to reopen and hope to build up again.

See you all very soon! Aileen and Pamela

IT'S NOT RETINOL Simply put, bakuchiol is not retinol. Retinol is the absolute gold standard for anti-ageing results and we always recommend it whenever we can as we know it just can't be topped. However, if you simply can't use retinol, we recommend Bakuchiol to deliver retinol-like results, but without the retinol. As The Experts in Vitamin A, we just couldn't ignore its powerful properties. It interacts very similarly to vitamin A with the skin; providing comparable results in collagen stimulation and skin rejuvenation.

BUT WHY NOW?
Bakuchiol has been a trending ingredient and buzzword for some months - but it's not a new ingredient to Medik8...we've been using it in our Calmwise Colour Correct for years. BUT, being a science-led, results based brand, before we start formulating any new product we look for the scientific evidence that backs up the ingredient claims. We’ve been waiting for bigger published studies to launch Bakuchiol Peptides before we felt it was appropriate to truly highlight it as a vitamin A alternative.

1.25% PURE BAKUCHIOL
A natural, plant-based retinol alternative, bakuchiol is derived from the seeds and leaves of the Indian Babchi plant (Psoralea Corylifolia). A powerhouse of a plant that stands out for its delicate purple flowers, rarely seen in the botanical world. At Medik8, we use PURE bakuchiol for accelerated results. Please don't be fooled by the bakuchiol 'extracts' or 'oils' available on the market as these feature a much lower level of active bakuchiol and simply aren't as effective.

MEDIK8 HYGIENIC HAND RUB UPDATE: We're super excited to let you know that our new look Hygeinic Hand Rub is being distributed to hundreds of well-deserving care homes, homeless shelters and vulnerable groups across the UK. We've already given away thousands and thousands of bottles to the NHS, police, the homeless, elderly and vulnerable...but it wouldn't have been possible without our two fab sponsors who have helped fund this community project. Read on to find out a little more about why they wanted to be a part of the Helping Hands Project 🙌🏼

SKINCITY
"As a skin care company, we wanted to help key workers protect themselves during this difficult time and we thought the goal of producing hand sanitising solutions and gifting them to those most in need was not only helpful but practical." - Danielle, from Marketing.
-
L.C. SERVICES
"The quote ‘We can’t make ventilators, but we can make sanitizer’ really resonated with me, as I’m sure like most people you want to help but you don’t know how. As soon as I took your project to the boss he wanted to get involved straight away no matter how big or small the contribution." - Digital Marketing Coordinator, Violet from Digital.

Good morning everyone. This has been a long time coming! We never got round to using this to our advantage as Pamela Pauline and I where very much tech phobics when it came to these things but I am going to overcome this and promise to get better haha!

Times are changing in all our work and personal life so we will hope to be utilising this more! Thanks so much
Aileen 😊😊
