☀️ Summer Holiday Notice! ☀️
​To all my wonderful clients, the countdown to the school holidays is officially on! 🎒✨
​I will be taking some time off to spend with my kid and enjoy the summer break. I will be away from the salon starting July 2nd and returning on July 20th.
​📅 What happens after July 20th?
For the remainder of the school holidays, my hours will look a little different. I will be working on an appointment-only basis.
​The online booking system will be paused for these dates, so if you’d like to book a slot, please message me directly here on Facebook or text me.
Thank you all so much for your understanding and ongoing support. I truly appreciate every single one of you and hope you have a wonderful, sun-filled summer! 🍦🌸

✨ Out with the old, in with the GLOW! ✨
​Ever wondered what’s actually sitting on the surface of your skin, blocking your skincare products and dulling your complexion?
​This is the waste canister from SkinBase Microdermabrasion facial. The fine white powder is the natural crystal used to exfoliate the skin—but see those darker, greyish particles mixed in? That is pure dead skin cells and built-up debris! 😮 Accumulating over time, this layer can clog pores, worsen fine lines, and steal your natural radiance.
​With SkinBase Microdermabrasion, we gently vacuum all of that away, revealing the fresh, vibrant, and smooth skin hiding underneath.
​💖 Why you’ll love it:
​Deep Exfoliation: Instantly removes dead skin cells.
​Flawless Base: Makeup goes on smoother than ever.
​Skincare Boost: Your serums and moisturizers can actually pe*****te and work deeper.
​Targets Concerns: Great for uneven skin tone, acne scarring, fine lines, and dullness.
​Ready to hit the reset button on your skin? Don't let your glow hide behind a layer of dead skin cells!

​I’ve had so many of you asking about my personal routine and how to layer products effectively, so I wanted to share the exact "Skin Cycling" schedule I use!
​This routine is designed to balance glow and repair without over-stripping your skin.
​☀️ The AM Routine (Every Day)
​The goal for the morning is protection!
• ​Vitamin C Serum: Your antioxidant powerhouse.
• ​Niacinamide Serum: For pore control and barrier support.
• ​Gentle Rich Moisturizer: To lock in hydration.
• ​High UVA Sunscreen: Non-negotiable! (Pro tip: use a tinted version if you struggle with melasma or hyperpigmentation).
​🌙 The PM Rotation (7-Day Cycle)
​We don't use every active every night. Instead, we rotate to give the skin "rest days."
• ​Days 1, 3, & 5 (Retinoid Nights): Focus on anti-aging and texture.
• ​Double Cleanse (Oil + Cream) > Hydrating Toner > Retinoid > Moisturizer.
• ​Days 2 & 6 (Exfoliation Nights): Focus on brightening and sweeping away dead skin.
• ​Double Cleanse > AHA Exfoliating Toner > Niacinamide > Moisturizer.
• ​Days 4 & 7 (Recovery Nights): Pure hydration to let the barrier repair.
• ​Double Cleanse > Hydrating Toner > Niacinamide > Moisturizer.
​⚠️ New to Retinols? Read This!
​Retinoids are powerful. If you are a beginner, do not jump into 3 nights a week immediately.
• ​Start Slow: Use your retinoid only 1 night per week for the first two weeks.
• ​The Build-Up: If your skin feels happy (no redness or peeling), increase to 2 nights a week, and eventually work your way up to the Day 1, 3, 5 schedule.
• ​Patience is key! Consistency beats intensity every time.
