The secret to glowing skin? 👀

It’s not more products… it’s smarter skin habits ✨
Hydration, barrier support, SPF daily + the right professional treatments 🤍

When your skin is healthy, the glow just shows up naturally ✨

Hey 💋

#glassskin #facial #sknbyshel #hey #facialwakefield

Why does microneedling work so well for acne scarring?

Acne scarring develops when inflammation disrupts the skin’s natural collagen production during the healing process, leaving behind uneven texture and structural changes within the skin.

Microneedling is an advanced collagen induction treatment designed to stimulate the skin’s natural repair response in a controlled and clinically effective way.

Using precise micro-channels created within the skin, the treatment activates wound-healing pathways which encourage the production of fresh collagen and elastin — essential components responsible for skin strength, smoothness and resilience.

Over time, this process helps to:

✔️ Improve the appearance of acne scarring
✔️ Refine uneven skin texture
✔️ Strengthen and firm the skin
✔️ Reduce the appearance of enlarged pores
✔️ Support overall skin integrity and function
✔️ Restore a healthier, more radiant complexion

One of the most important things clients should understand is that true skin revision takes time.

Microneedling is not a quick-fix treatment — it is a progressive, evidence-based approach focused on long-term skin health and collagen regeneration.

When performed correctly, alongside consistent homecare and a tailored treatment plan, microneedling can create significant improvements in both skin quality and confidence.

Healthy skin is built, not rushed ✨

SAVE this for your skin journey.

Microneedling is where skincare stops being surface level… and starts creating real change ✨

This isn’t about chasing trends or quick fixes.
It’s a strategic, results-driven treatment designed to rebuild, refine and strengthen your skin over time.

If your skin feels like it’s plateaued — this is often the next step.

• Smoother, more refined texture
• Softened lines and scarring
• Stronger, healthier skin function
• A long-term collagen investment

But the real difference?
It’s not just the treatment… it’s the expert plan behind it.

Tailored. Intentional. Results-focused.

If you’re ready to take your skin to that next level — this is how we do it.

Save this post for when you’re ready to invest in your skin 🤍

HALLELUJAH for good skin habits 👏🏻👏��🏻🤍

#hallelujah

Refined, results-driven skin is never built on quick fixes — it’s built on strategy, consistency, and the right professional guidance 🤍

Investing in your skin means:
• A tailored treatment plan, not trend-led decisions
• Protecting and strengthening the skin barrier
• Clinical, results-focused treatments at the right time
• High-quality homecare that supports long-term skin health

Healthy, radiant skin is a reflection of what you do consistently, not occasionally ✨

When you start treating your skin as an investment, the results speak for themselves — in both confidence and skin quality

#sknbyshel #skincare #investinyourskin

If you’re not an over-sharer I might not be the skin specialist for you 😆

All jokes aside, you can have a silent treatment if you wish 😶

#sknbyshel #facialhumor

“It’s just good genetics…”

Not quite.

This is what refined, consistent skin investment looks like.

• Monthly, results-driven treatments tailored with precision
• Medical-grade skincare, selected and used correctly
• Daily SPF—non-negotiable, all year round
• A commitment to long-term skin health over quick fixes

Nothing about this is accidental.

Healthy, radiant skin is built through expertise, consistency, and trust in the process.

The glow you’re seeing?
It’s the result of doing the right things—consistently, over time.

Skin like this isn’t left to chance… it’s curated.

If you’re ready to elevate your skin, it starts with a plan 🤍

Your skin isn’t just about what you put on it… it’s about what you put in your body too.

As a skin specialist, I see it all the time — clients investing in good skincare but overlooking the internal factors that are driving their concerns.

Here’s what matters:
• Blood sugar balance
• Gut health
• Inflammation levels
• Nutrient intake
• Hydration

When these are out of sync, your skin will show it.

This is why I always take a holistic approach — combining advanced treatments with guidance on lifestyle and nutrition to get real, lasting results.

Because true skin confidence doesn’t come from a quick fix… it comes from understanding your skin on a deeper level.

What I eat in a day as a skin specialist to nourish my skin 🥝🥚🥜🤍

This is how I build my meals to keep my skin clear, balanced and actually functioning properly. It’s not about being perfect but fuelling your body in a way that actually shows on your skin 👇

⸻

Breakfast 🍳
Scrambled eggs, low fat cheddar, grilled tomatoes + sourdough with butter

Why this works:
• Protein supports collagen + skin repair
• Healthy fats strengthen your skin barrier
• Tomatoes = antioxidants for protection + glow
• Balanced start = fewer blood sugar spikes (breakout prevention 👀)

⸻

Mid-morning smoothie 🥤
Banana, peanut butter + chocolate protein powder

Why I have this:
• Protein = stronger, healthier skin structure
• Healthy fats = hydration from within
• Banana supports gut health (linked to acne + inflammation)
• Keeps energy stable → less internal stress

⸻

Snack 🍏
Peanut butter + banana rice cake with kiwi

Why this is a good skin snack:
• Combines carbs + fats for stable blood sugar
• Kiwi is packed with vitamin C (hello collagen support ✨)
• Helps avoid energy dips → less cortisol spikes
• Great for keeping skin calm + balanced

⸻

Lunch 🥗
Mackerel salad

Why this is a staple:
• Omega 3 = reduces inflammation + breakouts
• Supports healing + skin regeneration
• Helps with redness + sensitivity
• One of the best foods for that natural glow

⸻

Dinner 🍜 (THE GLOW MEAL)
Salmon noodle bowl with edamame
→ Salmon = rich in omega-3 for hydration + plump skin
→ Edamame = plant protein + skin-repairing amino acids
→ Balanced, nourishing & amazing for hormonal skin

_____

Evening bowl 🥣
Greek yoghurt with homemade granola, nuts, seeds + raspberries

Why I love this:
• High protein = supports repair overnight
• Nuts + seeds = healthy fats + zinc for skin healing
• Raspberries = antioxidants for skin protection
• Supports gut health → which reflects directly on your skin

Continued in comments…

What I eat in a day to support my skin (and my energy) ✨

As a skin specialist, I’ll always talk about skincare…
but what you eat, drink and supplement daily plays a huge role in how your skin looks, heals and behaves

This is a typical day for me — focusing on:
• Protein in every meal (hello collagen support)
• Healthy fats (for that glow + strong barrier)
• Omega 3 rich foods (to calm inflammation + breakouts)
• 2–3L water daily (hydration = everything for your skin)
• Supplements to support from within:
• Vitamin D
• Omega 3
• Iron (personal to me)
• Magnesium (especially for stress 👀)

But let’s be real… it’s not about being perfect

I don’t eat like this 100% of the time
and you don’t need to either

It’s the 80–90% consistency that actually transforms your skin
That’s what helps it become:
✨ clearer
✨ calmer
✨ more radiant
✨ easier to manage

Because no facial or product can fully work if your body is lacking what it needs internally

This is exactly how I approach skin with my clients too — we look at the full picture, not just the surface

If your skin isn’t improving, this could be the missing piece.
I can help you build a routine that actually works for you

Results like this are never from a single treatment — they’re built through consistency, strategy, and the right progression ✨

This client began with a course of chemical peels to reduce inflammation, refine texture, and strengthen the skin barrier.
From there, we focused on the foundations that truly drive long-term results…

• Consistent, targeted homecare
• Supporting the skin through nutrition & lifestyle
• Managing internal triggers such as stress
• Allowing the skin time to respond and rebuild

Once her skin was healthier and more resilient, we introduced microneedling — at the right time.

When skin is properly prepared, microneedling delivers:
• Enhanced collagen stimulation
• Improved healing response
• Smoother, clearer complexion
• Noticeably elevated results overall

This is why a tailored treatment plan matters. It’s not about rushing into advanced treatments — it’s about preparing the skin so those treatments can perform at their best.

Her results speak for themselves: stronger, clearer, and more radiant skin.

If your skin feels like it’s plateaued, it may just need the right plan — not more products 🤍

You want glowing skin… but don’t know where to begin?
Let’s elevate it 🤍✨

Real glow isn’t created by chance — it’s built through strategy, consistency, and skin intelligence

Here’s where to start… properly 👇🏼

✨ BUILD YOUR SKIN FOUNDATION
Think of this as your non-negotiables:
• A gentle, barrier-supporting cleanse
• A moisturiser focused on hydration + repair
• Daily SPF to protect your future skin

No glow exists without a healthy skin barrier

✨ INTRODUCE TARGETED ACTIVES (WITH INTENTION)
This is where transformation begins — but less is more:
• Vitamin C → luminosity + antioxidant protection
• Retinol → cellular renewal + collagen stimulation
• Exfoliating acids → refined texture + clarity

It’s not about using everything… it’s about using the right thing

✨ CONSISTENCY CREATES LUXURY SKIN
The most overlooked step:
• Skin thrives on routine, not randomness
• Results come from repetition, not excess
• Overloading your skin will delay your glow

✨ PROFESSIONAL TREATMENTS = NEXT LEVEL RESULTS
Homecare maintains… clinic treatments transform:
• Advanced exfoliation for instant radiance
• Collagen-stimulating treatments for long-term firmness
• Bespoke facials tailored to your skin’s evolution

✨ GLOW IS ONGOING, NOT A ONE-TIME GOAL
Your skin is constantly changing — your routine should evolve with it

This is how you achieve skin that looks expensive… every single day 💫

Before, during & after extractions… done the right way 🤍✨

✨ Before
Skin is cleansed, exfoliated + prepped to soften congestion

✨ During
Controlled, hygienic extractions — no forcing, no trauma

✨ After
Soothing, hydration + barrier repair to calm the skin

All of my facials include extractions at no extra cost — because clear, healthy skin shouldn’t be an add-on ✨

(Not all clinics include this… but I always prioritise what your skin actually needs) 🤍

#extractions #facialtreatment #clearerskin #skincareclinic #skinhealth

“4 sessions and done”… that’s where most people get it wrong 👀

Microneedling gives you RESULTS…
But maintenance is what keeps your skin looking unreal ✨

• Results = repair + transformation
• Maintenance = longevity + skin health

Your skin doesn’t stop ageing… so why would your treatments? 🤍

No finish line. Just better, healthier skin every month 💫

#microneedling #skinhealthjourney #collagenboosting #glowingskin #skincareclinic

Glowing from every single angle… effortlessly 😮‍💨✨

The result of:
• Consistent, results-driven treatments
• Prioritising long-term skin health
• Strengthening and protecting the skin barrier
• A tailored approach that works with your skin, not against it

That natural, created glow will always outshine a filter 🤍

Shoutout to all the mammas showing up and never giving in! 🙏🏻

Never underestimate a mamma who built her small business with kids at home. 🧒🏼👧🏽

She did it between park trips, making dinner, and bedtime routines. 😴

She didn’t just build a business. She built it while raising a whole family...at the same time. 🏡

The sound of your skin ageing backwards… ✨

Microneedling is one of the most powerful treatments for stimulating your skin’s natural regeneration process. Those tiny controlled micro-injuries trigger collagen and elastin production, helping the skin repair, strengthen and rejuvenate from within.

Why microneedling is such a skin game-changer:

• ✨ Boosts collagen production for firmer, smoother skin
• 📉 Softens fine lines and wrinkles over time
• 🌿 Improves skin texture and tone
• 🪞 Helps reduce acne scarring and enlarged pores
• 💧 Enhances product absorption for better skincare results

It’s not just a treatment… it’s long-term skin investment.

Your future skin will thank you. 🤍

Having good skin is a little bit addictive… and honestly? I’m not mad about it. ✨

Once you start seeing your skin glow, feeling smoother texture and noticing that natural radiance in the mirror… you suddenly get it. Skincare stops feeling like a chore and starts feeling like self-care.

Why great skin becomes addictive:

• ✨ The glow – healthy skin just hits different
• 🧴 Consistency pays off – small daily habits = big results
• 💆‍♀️ Facials elevate everything – deeper cleanse, circulation boost & relaxation
• 🪞 Confidence boost – when your skin looks good, you feel good
• 📈 Progress is motivating – clearer, smoother, brighter skin keeps you coming back for more

The best part? It’s not about perfection.
It’s about healthy, balanced skin that feels amazing.

And once you experience that post-facial glow… there’s no going back. 🤍

“What actually happens during a facial…” ✨

It’s not just relaxing — it’s real skin work.

• Deep cleanse to remove buildup + SPF
• Professional exfoliation for smoother texture
• Targeted mask for your skin concern
• Facial massage to boost circulation + glow
• Finishing products to protect your skin barrier

The result? Skin that’s clearer, brighter and properly looked after.

POV: You thought it was just “a little peach fuzz” 👀✨

This is what professional dermaplane actually removes…
Dead skin + built-up fluff that’s been sitting on the surface, dulling your glow and blocking your products.

And this is why your skin looks:

✨ Brighter
✨ Smoother
✨ More even
✨ Instantly fresher

When that layer is gone, light reflects properly again — hello glass skin.

No filters.
No makeup.
Just properly exfoliated, healthy skin.

If your complexion feels flat, textured or your makeup isn’t sitting right… it might be time for a reset.

Ready to see what’s been sitting on your skin? 💆🏼‍♀️✨

#dermaplane #sknbyshel #facialwakefield

Why your at-home dermaplane isn’t cutting it 👀

I love a good at-home routine… but this is where DIY falls short.

✨ Depth & technique
At home you’re skimming the surface. In clinic, dermaplane is performed at the correct angle and pressure to properly remove dead skin and vellus hair — safely and evenly.

✨ Skin prep matters
Professional dermaplane starts with a full cleanse, prep and skin analysis. At home? Usually dry skin + a quick razor = uneven results.

✨ No post-treatment support
In clinic, your skin is immediately calmed, hydrated and protected with professional products. At home, skin is often left compromised → this leads to sensitivity, breakouts or dryness.

✨ It won’t give glass skin
That smooth, reflective glow comes from consistent professional exfoliation + barrier support — not a £5 blade.

✨ Risk of irritation
Wrong angle, pressure or frequency can damage the skin barrier and cause redness, breakouts or ingrowns.

At-home dermaplane is a disaster waiting to happen, whether it’s cutting your self, compromising the skin barrier or transferring bacteria.

A Professional dermaplane is where real texture change happens ✨

If you want actual glass skin — not just temporary smoothness — this is your sign to book in.🪞✨🤍

Love this trend 😂

Meet the team… childhood edition 🤍✨

Before the clinic.
Before the qualifications.
Before the luxury facials.

A little girl wit big dreams and big hair! #meettheteam

You wanted glass skin…then you found me! ✨🤍

That ultra-smooth, light-reflecting glow everyone’s chasing?
It’s not a filter. It’s not just highlighter. It’s healthy, professionally exfoliated skin.

After a dermaplane facial you get:

✨ Dead skin build-up removed
✨ Peach fuzz gone (hello seamless makeup)
✨ Instantly smoother texture
✨ Brighter, fresher complexion
✨ Better product absorption
✨ That Glass Skin finish

Glass skin happens when light can actually bounce off the surface properly — and that only happens when the skin is smooth, hydrated and balanced.

If your skin is feeling dull, textured or your makeup isn’t sitting right… it’s probably not another serum you need. It’s a reset.

#glassskin #wakefieldfacial #skinspecialist #glow

Your facial is a date with yourself (and me 😜) don’t cancel!

Because this isn’t “just a facial” — it’s:

• 60 minutes of switching your nervous system OFF
• Deep cleanse + exfoliation for that fresh, smooth skin feeling
• Professional-grade products that actually do something
• Lymphatic drainage + sculpting massage
• Real results you can see in the mirror
• Time where nobody needs you

We reschedule meetings.
We move coffee dates.
We change the dentist.

But the one thing that helps your skin, stress levels AND confidence? That stays booked. 📓

Glowing skin doesn’t happen by accident — it happens by appointment 🤍

If you needed a sign to put yourself first… this is it.

#sknbyshel #facialwakefield #glassskin #facialmassage

A simple routine > a shelf full of products 🤍

Glowy, healthy skin isn’t about doing the most… it’s about doing the right things consistently.

Here’s a routine that actually works:

✨ Cleanser – remove makeup, SPF + daily buildup without stripping your barrier
✨ BHA exfoliant – smooth texture, unclog pores & reduce congestion
✨ Retinol moisturiser – support collagen, refine skin, soften fine lines (and not as scary as a retinol serum)
✨ Retinol eye serum – target crepey texture & tired under eyes
✨ Barrier repair moisturiser – hydrate + strengthen
✨ SPF 50 (tinted is a bonus) – protect your results every single day

Healthy skin =
• Consistent exfoliation (not overdoing it)
• Barrier support
• Collagen stimulation
• Daily SPF (non-negotiable)

If your skin feels dull, congested or not as smooth as it used to… it’s usually not because you need more products. You need the right ones 👏🏼

Save this as your routine blueprint 🤍

if you want this customised to your skin type, you know where I am 🤍

PS - this is MY routine and what works for me. Everyone is different so please don’t c+p this routine, you might need something different depending on your goals ✨
