FAQS

Are you affiliated with the brands you recommend?

In order to offer completely unbiased and impartial recommendations, I have no affiliation with any of the brands I recommend.

Do I have to purchase the products you recommend?

There is absolutely no push to purchase. And if you’re not in a position to buy all of your recommendations I can advise you on the best ones to buy first.

I’m on a budget, will this be taken into account?

One of the first questions I ask in the consultation will regard budget. I do this in order to find you the best products you can afford.

Why do you use affiliate links?

I make a tiny commission if you purchase through the affiliate links I use in the consultation notes. There is absolutely no obligation to purchase through these links - it just helps me to earn a few extra pennies!

Can you incorporate products I already own and love?

Of course! I can build you a routine using as many of your existing products as you like. However if I believe a product to be harming your skin, I will advise you to purchase an alternative.

Why do you offer skincare routine consultations?

I worked on beauty counters for years, offering advice and product recommendations, but I hated being tied down to a single brand. I found myself offering recommendations outside of the brands I was working for, and that was when the idea was born. I’ve since left counter work, qualified as a skin therapist and worked as a beauty editor for over five years, where I’ve had the opportunity to expand my knowledge of beauty and the beauty industry - and try 2942005 products.

Will you teach me how to use the products?

Of course! I’ll explain the best way to use each product in your consultation notes.

I’d love to know exactly how the products work. Can you include this?

Yep. This too will be covered in your consultation notes.

How long will it take to see results?

Typically it takes around three months to see proper results from a consistent skincare routine.

Can you guarantee that the products will fix my skin?

Nope - I will only ever recommend products that I trust and am confident will make a difference, but I can’t guarantee that anything will be ‘the magic cure’. Plus, it’s all down to you to use the products consistently and in the correct way.

How long will it take you to work on my consultation notes?

Once you’ve answered all of my questions, I’ll aim to get consultation notes back to you within the week.

Can I send photographs?

Of course. I ask every clients for photographs and videos. Anything that you think will help me to offer you the correct guidance and advice will help. The more detail you provide to me, the better I can help you.

Can we do a zoom call?

All packages include Zoom calls or the ability to add on a Zoom call. For skincare routine consultations and optimisations, the Zoom call can either take place before the consultation or after it. I’d recommend the latter as this gives me opportunity to take you through your completed notes and answer any questions you have about them.

What do the consultation notes include?

Consultation notes for skincare include feedback to all of the answers you gave me after my initial questions, my top tips (based on your skin and concerns), a full AM and PM routine listed in order of application (with detail on how every product works and how to use it), info on any extra products or treatments I think could benefit your skin, and answers to any other questions or concerns you have alerted me to.

Consultation notes for makeup include feedback to all of the answers you gave me after my initial questions, my top tips, your full routine listed in order of application (with detail on how to use each product), and answers to any other questions or concerns you have alerted me to.

What qualifications do you have?

Aside from my ‘on the job’ learning experience and brand specific training courses across a wide variety of hair, makeup, skincare, and fragrance brands, I am a fully qualified and insured skin therapist. I have a Level 2 Diploma in Beauty Therapy (VTCT), Level 3 Diploma in Acne Treatment & Care (CPD), Level 3 Diploma in Beauty Therapy (VTCT), Level 4 Advanced Diploma in Skincare & Treatment (CPD), and am Dermalogica Certified. I have also completed the Treating Skin of Colour course by Black Skin Directory (CPD).
