A little reminder that even those of us who spend our days telling others to slow down sometimes need to listen to our own advice. 🤍

I’ve spent most of my weekend completely floored with flu. And honestly? I’m a little annoyed with myself.

I’m rarely ill and I suspect I’ve been fighting this off since speaking at ExCeL a couple of weeks ago. But life, work, commitments and all the things that need doing have a habit of taking priority… and perhaps I haven’t given myself enough time to recover.

It’s made me stop and think.

As a Facialist, my hands are my livelihood. They are how I create, how I connect, how I work my magic and do something I genuinely love. But looking after my hands means looking after the whole person they belong to.

And I’m not superhuman. 🤍

I spend so much time reminding my clients that rest is not a luxury, that they don’t need to feel guilty for taking time for themselves and that sometimes the most productive thing they can do is absolutely nothing.

Perhaps it’s time I listened to my own advice.

So, for now, it’s long Epsom salt baths, Altrient vitamin C doubled, my heated throw on the sofa and comforting homemade soup full of turmeric, ginger and brightly coloured vegetables and hopefully, feeling a little more like myself tomorrow.

There is always a little light to be found in everything.

Perhaps this is mine.

A reminder that longevity isn’t just about how we care for our skin. It’s how we care for ourselves, too.

If I want to continue doing what I love, looking after my clients, learning, evolving and creating beautiful things for years to come, then I have to make sure I’m looking after the person behind the hands.

That means allowing myself to pause. Protecting my energy. Making space to breathe. And recognising that just because I can do something doesn’t always mean I should.

A little more balance. A little more breathing space. A little more permission to put myself on the list.

Because I want to be doing this for a very long time yet. And that means taking care of me, too.

It’s never just a facial … and it’s never just about the hands. 🤍

2 amazing days .ukshows London

Not only did I get to speak on the longevity stage, I hosted it for both days and it was the most incredible line up of speakers.

I am not the best at documenting events with photos, I just love to be in the moment …

Saw so many of my gorgeous friends both old and new from my amazing industry …lots of hugs too.

I may be a solo business owner but I have a full heart of the best clients and the best industry and the best people in it!

Back to clinic tomorrow

Love Andrea xx

There are a LOT of LED masks out there.

I know, it can be incredibly confusing knowing what’s actually worth investing in.

For me, it comes down to one thing:

What’s underneath the marketing?

The new FaceLITE PRO has been two years in development and uses five clinically selected wavelengths:

✨ 610nm – supporting tone, texture and radiance

✨ 630nm – supporting collagen activity, brightness and visible redness

✨ 660nm – targeting deeper skin rejuvenation, firmness and the appearance of wrinkles

✨ 850nm – near-infrared light supporting deeper tissue repair and recovery

✨ 1070nm – reaching deeper tissue to support elasticity, density and firmness

FaceLITE is designed to work at different depths and support different aspects of skin health.

Importantly, it has undergone independent clinical testing, looking at visible improvements including wrinkles, pigmentation, redness and under-eye darkness.

That matters to me.

Because LED isn’t simply about having lights in a mask, an ‘influencer or celebrity’ paid endorsement.

Wavelength. Dose. Delivery. Engineering. Evidence.

They all matter.

I’m interested in technology that has substance behind it.

And this is one I genuinely rate. 🤍

Always check suitability and contraindications before using LED. (That’s where your skin professional will guide you).

Drop me a DM to order

I really feel like Byonik was made for me.

The connection is almost uncanny.

Because everything I believe about treating skin seems to meets with Byonik …
Science
Skin health
Cellular function
Longevity
Luxury

It’s not just about how the skin looks

It’s about understanding it.
Supporting it.
Working with it.

And looking at the bigger picture … not just the skin we see today, but the skin we want to have for years to come.

That’s why Byonik has become so fundamentally important to me.

It’s been at the heart of my treatments and my approach to skin health for so long now that it’s difficult to imagine my clinic without it.

Some treatments you offer.
Some treatments become part of your philosophy.

For me, Byonik is the latter

There is an invisible layer to my facials.

Something you can’t see.
Can’t touch.
Can’t smell.
And, in many cases, can’t even feel.

This is my BioRelax mat…

The BioRelax® Wellness Mat is a gentle, non-invasive Class 1 medical technology designed to support the body’s natural repair processes. By harnessing Kleinsche Fields, a unique, permanent magnetic field modelled on nature, the mat stimulates cellular regeneration, optimises recovery and enhances overall well-being

Using gentle magnetic fields around the body as part of the treatment experience, supporting the body at a much deeper, cellular level.

The intention is to create the conditions for the body to rest, regulate and regenerate.

Because when we move out of constant ‘doing’ and into a more deeply relaxed state, we give the body a different environment to work within.

Think nervous system.
Think cellular energy.
Think mitochondria, the little powerhouses inside our cells.
Think recovery, repair and regeneration.

And this is where I become fascinated by the relationship between skin health and whole-body health.

Because your skin doesn’t exist in isolation.

How you sleep.
How you recover.
How much stress your body is carrying.
How well your cells are functioning.

All of it forms part of the bigger picture.

For me, that’s exactly why this belongs in my treatment room.

Not because it is another ‘gadget’.

But because it adds another invisible layer to the way I approach skin.

✨ Skin health.
✨ Cellular health.
✨ Nervous system support.
✨ Deep relaxation.
✨ And a treatment designed around the whole you, not just the skin you can see.

The facial you feel is only part of the treatment.

The rest is happening beneath the surface.

And that’s what takes your facial to another level.

Love Andrea xx

Perhaps our skin isn’t either…

Summer is coming to an end.

And whilst I’ll miss the long evenings, the warmth and that feeling that the days could go on forever… I’ve always loved September.

There’s something about a change of season that makes me pause.

To look back.
To appreciate where I’ve been.
And to think about what I might need for the season ahead.

And actually, I think our skin asks us to do the same.

Because our skin doesn’t stand still.

It changes with the seasons, with our environment, with our lifestyle and of course, as we age.

Which means what worked beautifully for your skin a few years ago might not be what it needs now.

The treatment that once gave you that incredible result.
The product you’ve used for years.
Even the way you’ve always approached your skin.

Sometimes, it’s simply time to reassess.

This is why my approach has never been about chasing the latest treatment or trying to turn back the clock.

It’s about understanding what your skin needs now.

Supporting cellular skin health.
Optimising the way your skin functions.
Encouraging resilience, repair and longevity.

And ultimately, helping your skin to age as well as it possibly can.

Because ageing well isn’t about staying in the same season forever.

It’s about understanding that every season brings something different and giving your skin what it needs to thrive in each one.

So, as summer slowly gives way to autumn, perhaps it’s a good time to ask yourself…

What does my skin need from me now?

It’s never just a facial

I think I’ve finally remembered how to have a Sunday…

You know those Sundays where you don’t really do anything?

You just… potter.

Open a cupboard and wonder why on earth you’ve kept half of what’s in it. 😂
Move things around.
Re-arrange a shelf.
De-clutter.
Faff.

And somehow, by the end of the day, everything feels a little bit better.

I realised this weekend just how much I’ve missed faffing!

For so many years, weekends haven’t really been weekends.

There’s always been somewhere to go, something to learn, somewhere to travel to, a workshop, a conference, studying, mentoring, building the business… or simply trying to squeeze all the life admin into the time that’s left.

And then there’s the laundry.

Always the laundry. 😂

My home has always been my sanctuary, but I realised I’ve been living in it rather than really pottering in it.

And this weekend I have.

I’ve organised cupboards.
De-cluttered.
Moved things around.
Made little corners feel lovely again.

Nothing particularly important.

But it has felt rather wonderful.

Perhaps this is my kind of mindfulness.

Doing something with no particular purpose other than because it makes me happy.

Then there was a gorgeous Sunday lunch, cooked by Mr S, a long soak in the bath, a G&T and fresh bed linen to climb into.

And sitting here, I had one of those little moments.

All those weekends I thought I’d lost over the years…

Perhaps they weren’t lost.

They paid for the career I dreamed about.
The business I’ve built.
The experiences.
The places.
The people.
The opportunities.

And I’m incredibly grateful for all of it.

But I think there comes a point when you have to stop being quite so busy building the life…

… and actually remember to live it.

There is still so much I want to do.

But perhaps now I want to enjoy a few more Sundays like this along the way.

The slow ones.

The faffy ones.

The ones where absolutely nothing important happens.

Except that you feel happy do nothing.

And maybe that’s rather important after all. 🤍

The chapters that stay with us …

40 years ago this week, I boarded a train from Doncaster to Guildford that would change the direction of my life.

I joined the military.

Looking back now, I often wonder what that young girl would think if she could see the life she was going to have.

The places she would travel.

The people she would meet.

The careers she would have.

The things she would learn.

The challenges she would overcome.

And eventually, the business she would build.

At the time, I didn’t realise that I was learning lessons that would stay with me for decades.

Discipline.
Resilience.
Courage.
Leadership.
Teamwork.
Adaptability.

And perhaps most importantly… how much more we are capable of when we are willing to step outside what feels comfortable.

I eventually left the military, but I don’t think we ever really leave our experiences behind.

They become part of our foundations.

I can see pieces of that young woman in the woman I am today.

She is still curious.
Still determined.
Still learning.
Still pushing herself.
Still believing there is always another chapter to write.

And perhaps that’s what 40 years of adult life teaches you…

Our lives aren’t made up of separate chapters.

They are all connected.

One experience quietly becomes the foundation for the next.

So this week, I’m not just celebrating 40 years since I joined the military.

I’m celebrating the girl who started the journey.

And the woman she became.

40 years.
What a journey. 🤍

I’m absolutely delighted to share that I’ve been invited to judge the Professional Beauty Awards 2027 once again.

It is such an honour to be invited back and one I feel genuinely privileged to accept.

Judging isn’t simply about looking at an entry on a page. It’s a rigorous process.

It’s about hearing the story behind the business.
Seeing the passion, dedication, courage it takes to build something special and recognising the therapists, practitioners and business owners who continue to learn, evolve, shine, inspire and raise the bar for our incredible industry.

If you’ve ever thought about entering an award …

Please do it.

Don’t wait until you think you’re “good enough”.
Don’t assume everyone else has achieved more than you. And don’t underestimate what you have built.

Entering an award gives you the opportunity to pause, reflect and really see how far you’ve come.

It can be incredibly positive, whether you win, become a finalist, or simply give yourself the chance to tell your story.

And believe me, after years of being on both sides of the judging table, I know how much heart goes into these entries. ❤️

So, to all the therapists, clinics and business owners in our industry…

Tell your story.
Celebrate your achievements.
Put yourself forward.

You might just surprise yourself.

And to the Professional Beauty UK team thank you for trusting me with the role once again. I’m looking forward to reading the stories, discovering the talent and celebrating everything that makes our industry so special.
