👀✨ SKIN SCHOOL: How Do I Get Rid Of Puffy Eye Bags?
“I always look tired… even when I’m not 😩”
Puffy under-eyes are one of the most common concerns we see — and they can be caused by a few different things:
• Fluid retention
• Poor circulation
• Thinning or weakened skin
• Lack of sleep
• Stress 😵‍💫
• Natural ageing
So the key isn’t just “hydration” — it’s supporting the entire eye area properly 💗
Here’s what actually helps 👇
✨ Reducing puffiness & fluid build-up:
Ingredients like caffeine help to gently constrict blood vessels and reduce that swollen, puffy look — especially first thing in the morning.
✨ Strengthening & firming the skin:
As the skin under the eyes becomes thinner, bags can look more obvious. Peptides help support collagen production, making the area feel firmer and more supported over time.
✨ Deep hydration (without heaviness):
Lightweight hydration (like hyaluronic acid) plumps the skin and smooths the area — without causing congestion or milia.
✨ Brightening & evening out tone:
Ingredients like licorice root and antioxidants help reduce the appearance of dark circles and dullness, so the whole eye area looks fresher and more awake ✨
✨ Protecting & calming the skin:
Antioxidants (like green tea and pomegranate) help defend against environmental stress and soothe irritation — which can make tired eyes look worse.
In the salon we use a lightweight peptide-based eye serum that combines these types of ingredients to support the eye area in a really gentle but effective way 💗

And for deeper or more stubborn under-eye concerns, treatments like skin boosters can help improve hydration and skin quality from within 👀✨

Take an evening away from the noise and busyness of everyday life to rest, relax and reset.

This gentle sound bath is an opportunity to slow down, ground yourself and come back to your centre — with nothing expected of you other than getting comfortable and allowing yourself to rest.

What to expect:

Doors open at 7:30pm, giving you plenty of time to arrive, get comfortable and settle into the space.

At approximately 8pm, your sound therapist Isabella will begin with a gentle guided meditation to help you relax and become present.

You’ll then be immersed in the beautiful sounds and vibrations of crystal singing bowls, gong, drum and chimes, before Isabella gently guides you back with a closing meditation.

We’ll finish by approximately 9:30pm, allowing a little time afterwards to slowly come back, have a drink and gather your things without rushing.

No previous meditation or sound bath experience is necessary. You will be guided throughout.

Please bring with you:

• A yoga mat or comfortable mat to lie on
• A pillow
• A cosy blanket
• Water or another drink
• Optional notebook and pen if you’d like to journal, reflect or set an intention

Wear loose, comfortable clothing and feel free to bring anything else that will help you feel warm, cosy and supported.

Then all you need to do is lie back, tuck yourself in, close your eyes and listen. ✨

👀✨ SKIN SCHOOL: Does SPF Come First Or Last??
After our post last week about the importance of using SPF (sun protection) on your face,
Several of you asked us BOTH these questions so we thought we’d tackle both:
“ What order should I apply my products / does SPF come first or last? “
💡 Applying your skincare products in the right order helps each product to absorb properly, and perform the way it's supposed to.
✅️ A simple way to remember the order is to apply them thinnest to thickest in consistency.
☀️ Here's your ideal morning sequence if you're using all of these products;
After cleansing and toning:
1️⃣ Serum

2️⃣ Eye cream

3️⃣ Moisturiser

4️⃣ and lastly SPF — think of it as your skin’s shield. It needs to sit on top of the skin to form a protective barrier against UV rays.
OR you might be using an SPF moisturiser in one like I do, which is absolutely fine as long as it comes last.
🌙 And in the evening, you can do the same order, but swap a nice active night cream instead of SPF.
