(314)

The multi award winning Barn sits in the beautiful village of Loxton at the foot of Crooks Peak in Somerset. The Barn was the oldest building in Loxton and has been painstakingly rebuilt using the original stone and lovingly restored oak timber beams. At The Barn simplicity rules: nature’s honest beauty evident in every finish from natural and grounding grey flagstone flooring and chunky oak ceilings to paints with the highest eco credentials. Leading nationally, the second generation Barn connects its cutting edge treatments and holistic therapies with the calm and healing of the natural world. Set within two acres of land, it is a totally private environment where space, peace and tranquility have been prioritised. With generous treatment rooms and a separate, uniquely designed relaxation lounge with views over the magnificent Crooks Peak, we are now more able than ever to help you escape, however briefly, and take the stress away from everyday living. The Barn has a kitchen table at its heart – wooden, antique, rustic, The Skin Bar is the place where client and therapist come together - and analyse individually what is best for each client - what is truly best for them, their wellbeing, their skin. The Barn also uniquely offers each client a soothing bathing experience: a raw copper bath – equipped with candles and pots of mineral salts, aromatic fresh herbs, essential oils and flower petals - for private moments of reflection - particularly after a treatment… a healing space for true relaxation and escape. We take pride in offering an extensive range of cutting edge treatments and holistic therapies along with advanced cosmetic procedures. Our vision has always been to offer an experience of total luxury and relaxation so whether you join us for a short or a long visit, we guarantee you will love your Barn experience.

The Dermalogica Christmas sets are LIVE on my website, but this one is my favourite. Honestly, I mean it when I say this set is awesome. The whole Phyto Nature range is insanely good, and this kit includes the new E2; yep! 🙌🏼

If you’re not familiar with these products, I’ll give you the lowdown below; what they do and why I love them.

I will only ever recommend products I truly love or that you’ll find on my own bathroom shelf. 🤍

Dermalogica Phyto Nature E2

Think of this as your first step after cleansing. Exosome-rich technology meets exfoliation to help improve skin texture and enhance the effectiveness of everything layered over the top. Exosomes are tiny messengers that help cells communicate. Expect smoother, brighter-looking skin that you can start to notice after just a few uses.

Phyto Nature Oxygen Cream

Honestly, the best moisturiser Dermalogica do, in my eyes. It feels like silk, supports skin renewal and literally picks up dull, tired, ageing skin. Your skin just looks fresher, smoother and more alive.

Phyto Nature Lifting Eye Cream

Does exactly what it says. Helps improve the appearance of firmness around the eyes, feels incredible and is a powerful product without relying on strong actives.

So team this Lifting Eye Cream in the morning with Medik8 Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye at night. Insanely good. The best eye duo in my eyes. Lifting and firming by day, retinal working its magic at night. You will thank me later!

Good skincare isn’t about having more products. It’s about using the right ones.

And let me do the testing for you. I will never, ever recommend a product I don’t genuinely love! ✨

/ I’ll never stop raving about the benefits of Gua Sha - such a simple ritual, but SO effective. ✨

Last month, I had the pleasure of taking a lovely group of ladies through the benefits of Gua Sha and natural lymphatic drainage. An ancient Chinese massage technique I’ve incorporated into my facials for years, and it’s one of my favourite ways to support circulation, de-puff the skin and create that natural lift.

Using the new NeuroTouch Symmetry Serum alongside your Gua Sha, you can turn a few minutes of facial massage into the perfect little daily ritual.

Finish with your eye mask and you’re set for the dreamiest sleep 🤍

SCULPT & SWEAT ✨

Your face workout, followed by a proper sweat.

Join Pause Skin Clinic x Hotbox Social for a feel-good facial sculpting workshop, followed by sauna time.

You’ll learn the art of facial lymphatic drainage fascia & muscular release, using simple techniques to encourage lymph flow, reduce puffiness, soften the appearance of under-eye bags, and reveal a brighter, fresher-looking complexion. Let’s not forget the jawline too!

Think less puffiness, more glow, and a little more definition. ✨

Why lymphatic drainage? Your lymphatic system helps clear excess fluid and waste products from your tissues. When fluid builds up, it can leave your face looking puffy, heavy and tired. Learning to stimulate lymph flow can help get things moving again. Up to 30% of your body lymphatic system is in this area!

Then? We take it to the sauna. 🔥

Sweat, switch off, and soak up the Hotbox Social experience. Sauna bathing supports relaxation and circulation, while your liver and kidneys do the heavy lifting when it comes to eliminating waste and toxins.

Sculpt your face. Sweat it out. Leave glowing.

You’ll take away simple techniques to use at home, whenever your skin needs a little reset.

Hey lovely faces (and new followers) 🤍

I’ve decided not to host my yearly retreat in Marrakech next year.

Normally held in March, my daughter is expecting a baby and I’m going to become a Nonna around the same time. And, quite simply, I don’t want to miss a moment of it. 🥹🤍

However… I’m already starting to plan the March 2028 Skin, Soul, Stretch Retreat — and I’m going to make it pretty special and very unique.

There aren’t many retreats that focus specifically on skin, and I really want to create something that looks at healthy skin from every angle.

Movement, nature, nutrition, sleep, slowing down and pausing, alongside ultimate education in skin health, ingredients and how to truly look after your skin.

Feeding the skin from the inside out, as well as the outside in.

My retreats have always been about slowness and simplicity, but in beautiful, luxe environments where you can genuinely switch off and retreat.

Time to calm the soul.
Time to move.
Time to nourish.
Time to learn.
Time to breathe.

And by the end, you’ll leave with glowing skin, a whole lot more knowledge and, hopefully, a completely reset nervous system too. ✨

And let’s not forget the skincare…

Last year’s retreat guests went home with over £500 worth of skincare goodies; which some might argue was actually the best bit!!

I know many of you were waiting for next year’s retreat, and I hope you’ll understand why I’ve made this decision. Becoming a Nonna is a pretty special moment, and there is absolutely no way I want to miss it. 🤍

But I promise you, 2028 is going to be worth the wait.

I’ll announce the dates and details nice and early so you have plenty of time to plan. Sign up to my newsletter on my website.

Who’s joining?

Until then…

Skin love as always,

Kelly 🤍🌿

/ When was the last time you….?✨

Because skincare is more than just products and facials. When you begin to treat it as a whole, that’s when long-lasting change can happen. 🌿

Power up your facial. Power up your results. 💫

Introducing Exosomes; one of the most exciting advancements in regenerative skin treatments.

Think of exosomes as tiny messengers. Their role is to communicate with your skin cells, encouraging them to repair, regenerate and perform at their very best. They help stimulate collagen and elastin production, support healthy cell turnover, calm inflammation and accelerate the skin’s natural healing process.

The result? Healthier, stronger, firmer, more resilient skin and even better results from your corrective treatments.

Exosomes are the perfect addition to any corrective facial but work particularly well alongside:
✨ RF Microneedling (my favourite combination)
✨Microneedling
✨ IPL
✨ HIFU

They’re also brilliant for supporting sensitised skin, impaired skin barriers, post-inflammatory redness and anyone wanting to strengthen and rebuild their skin from within.

Choose your upgrade:
• Dermalogica Exosomes Add-On — £150
• Medik8 PDRN Exosomes Add-On — £200

To continue supporting your skin at home, Medik8 have also introduced the brand new Medik8 PDRN Prismatic Serum (£79).

Powered by PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide), this next-generation serum complements your professional treatments by supporting skin repair, improving hydration, strengthening the skin barrier and enhancing radiance between appointments.

🤍 Pause Members receive:
10% off professional treatments
15% off retail products.

Whether you’re targeting ageing, lines, pigmentation, acne scarring, redness or simply want to maximise your results, regenerative skincare is changing what’s possible and I’m so excited to bring it to Pause Skin Clinic.

Message me if you want to add Exosomes to a current booking, or add it to your next treatment when booking. You’ll find it on the Add-On section.

A new Exosomes Facial will also be coming for those who need to boost healing, sensitised skin, ezcema prone skin or those that purely want an Exosome boost.

/ We love a before & after ✨ (and I’m rubbish at doing them 🙃)

After just one IPL Skin Rejuvenation treatment (in this case)targeting vascular lesions, you can already see a significant improvement in the cheek area. This is why I love this treatment so much - you’re quite literally zapping your concerns away and it’s like magic! 😍

-Redness
-Thread Veins
-Pigmentation
-Skin rejuvenation & luminosity
-Skin Texture like open pores
-Even tone
-Honestly tackles so many concerns in one. Flawless/firmer skin in a nut shell!

Depending on your skin goals, a course of treatments may be recommended for the best results. Generally between 1-6 sessions.

And, as with all my advanced facial treatments, I’ll always make sure your skin feels calm and cared for leaving clinic. 🌿

Interested in IPL Skin Rejuvenation? Send me a message or book yourself in. More information on areas I can treat can be found through my website or booking system. I love IPL and have worked with it for over 16 years. 💫
