About SlowSkin

Slow Skin was born from my own ongoing relationship with my skin — one shaped by years of trying to manage, improve and perfect it, and slowly learning that care, presence and gentleness matter just as much as products or treatments.

I’ve always been drawn to holistic healing. I grew up with a mum who used Bach Flower Remedies and homeopathy, and that ethos of caring for yourself from the inside out stayed with me. I’ve long believed that the skin reflects what’s going on beneath — that you can’t just fix things on a surface level and expect deep, lasting change.

My skin journey hasn’t been linear or simple. I struggled with breakouts well into my twenties, experienced the dryness and fragility that can follow intensive treatments, and like many women, explored a wide range of options as my skin began to change. Skincare actives, aesthetic treatments, new routines — all of these can have a place. But what I’ve come to understand is that how we relate to our skin matters as much as what we do to it.

I retrained as a holistic facialist to create a space where skin care is not about fixing or chasing perfection, but about listening, supporting and restoring balance. I’ve also been a qualified yoga teacher for over a decade, and the same principles guide my work — breath, presence, nervous system regulation and connection to the body.

Today, I offer personalised, intuitive facials from my home studio in Forest Gate, overlooking the trees. Each treatment is designed to support both skin health and nervous system calm, using a combination of sculpting massage, lymphatic drainage, traditional tools such as the Kansa wand, LED light therapy and slow, restorative rituals. Everything is chosen to encourage circulation, release tension and help the body return to balance, rather than override it.

I work with botanical, mostly organic products — gentle but effective, often small-batch — and I’m guided by a simple belief: care doesn’t need to be excessive to be meaningful. Less, when chosen well and offered with intention, can often do more.

Whether you’re navigating sensitivity, breakouts, changes that come with age, or simply feeling disconnected or depleted, my aim is to hold space for you — to help you slow down, come back into your body, and approach your skin with curiosity rather than judgement.

Because when we’re more regulated and connected, we can make clearer, kinder decisions.
And often, the skin responds in its own time.
