“Skin itself won’t change the world, but the Women in the skin will”
Kelly Kingston, owner of SELF_
So many of us are stressed. We are running around, often feeling like we are not in our own bodies, minds busy, with an endless to-do list and a jacked up nervous system that is always in overdrive. For so many Women, taking even a moment to themselves seems impossible. Perhaps you feel the same way?
Stress and busyness contribute to how we show up in the world. Not only does stress affect our mental and physical health, it also affects our skin. The negative impact it has on our skin health, both directly and indirectly, is now well documented and researched.
At SELF_ we see women giving so much of themselves, but at the end of the day we cannot fill from an empty cup. We must allow ourselves the time and quiet and the SELF_care to keep pouring.
The ritual of skincare
SELF_ is a place for you to cultivate SELF_care and SELF_love through the ritual of skincare. Skin treatments and at home skin rituals are more than a means to an end to treat skin conditions, they form an integral meditative and quieting form of SELF_care that we mentor our clients to practise regularly to slow down, and bring them home to themselves.
At SELF_ we treat you as a whole person. Your skin is a reflection of what’s happening in your body, so simply treating the skin is not enough. We look at your overall wellbeing, such as stress levels, hormones, gut health, diet, sleep… We get to the root cause of your skin problems so we can tailor the treatment and products to you so you not only walk out with juicy, bouncy, glowing skin but also confidence, energy and rituals that empower you.
A sanctuary at the Mount
SELF_ is a true sanctuary. When you walk in the doors you are met with a calming scent of essential oils and relaxing music. As you breathe a little deeper, you feel your worries floating away. SELF_ is a dedicated team of women, each with their own skin and wellbeing journey. Here, you will feel seen, heard and cared for. It is our privilege and honour to mentor women through the seasons of their skin and wellbeing journey.
First, we will do an in depth consultation with you, where we will ask you a myriad of questions, from your skin care routine and gut health to your stress levels and your female cycle. Then we will create a skin care treatment unique to you. This will be a combination of at home skin rituals and treatments at SELF_ that will make you fall in love with your skin.
