Facials for
mind
body
and skin.

Balancing skin, by balancing you.

Your skin is like a two-way mirror. What’s going on inside can often show up on the outside – think inflammation, dryness or breakouts. Skin & Dosha was created with the view that to best treat your skin longterm, first we need to understand it from a holistic point of view.

That’s why we go deeper than surface level, using Ayurvedic Dosha techniques to treat the body as a whole. So when it comes to your skin, our advanced treatments support it with everything it needs to be at its best.

  • In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, a Dosha is each individual person’s own constitution. A beautiful blend of your mind, body and the characteristics that make you – you. So when something is happening internally, there’s an imbalance. That’s where we come in, to help restore it.

Curated, caring and calming

From the odd blemish, to painful flare-ups, we understand how much skin can affect your day. And that what works one person, might not work for another.

That’s why all of our facials are completely personalised to each client. Helping you to take the stress out of your skin concerns, so you can lie back, switch off & relax.

  • Our sessions always start by talking about your skin concerns and goals, together with everyday factors like your diet, lifestyle and current skincare regime. This helps us paint a bigger picture and identify the root cause of any skin complaint. So that we can develop a personalised skincare plan, to give you the best results.

    A tailored treatment combining carefully selected, all natural products, to leave your skin feeling completely refreshed & restored. With the combined use of advanced techniques and technologies to encourage this further.

About S&D

‘Deciding to become a Skin Specialist stemmed from me simply just enjoying seeing people happy, relaxed and confident in themselves. Encouraging a sense of calm where people can, if only for a moment, drop the weight from daily stresses. Being bit of a science boffin too, I wanted to learn more about how the skin and body connect.

After qualifying I made a beeline to work within Londons high-end spas, clinics and centres (including the world-famous Corinthia hotel). Providing a range of treatments, working with well known brands, I grew my knowledge, experience and qualifications. Now, I’m proud to give this to my clients within all of my treatments.

Skin & Dosha was created as an affordable & welcoming place, giving time for people to understand their skin better while achieving their desires. The April of today is continuing her ayurvedic practices. Continuously learning more and more about nutrition, lifestyle and how these benefit you, your skin and your peace of mind’.

  • ‘April is extraordinary! By far the best facial I’ve had and I will continue to book with April. Not only is the experience fantastic so is the thoughtfulness that goes into tailoring the facial to my skin and goals. As well as that, April goes that extra mile even providing aftercare advice. Thank you again April, I can’t wait for my next visit already’.

    Jessica - Release facial

  • ‘I can’t recommend April enough! I had a great, very relaxing treatment. I went in feeling stressed about my skin, which has some issues at the moment, but the products and techniques April uses did some kind of magic - I woke up with a cleaner complexion, less inflammation and my rosacea looks much milder today. Thanks again and see you soon!’.
