A New Zealander-turned-Londoner, Kate is an acclaimed clinical facialist with experience working with the UK’s leading beauty editors, actors, athletes, celebrities – even royalty.
Kate’s scientific approach to treatment innovation and skincare has made her one of the most sought after facialists in the UK today. Her extraordinary standards, emphasis on client care and exceptional results see her clients travelling from far and wide to seek her advice and support.
As someone who suffered with acne in her teens and rosacea in her thirties, Kate understands what it’s like not to feel confident in your skin. In fact, battling her own skin issues is exactly where her passion grew and why she chose to become a clinical facialist with a special interest in acne and skin ageing.
When it comes to ageing, Kate doesn't like to use the term ‘anti-ageing’. Having lost her mother at a young age, she believes it's a privilege to grow old – but that doesn't mean you have to give up on your skin either. Kate believes in supporting the skin through the natural ageing process by helping it become stronger, more resilient and healthier for a fresh and glowing complexion that's smooth and uplifted.
There is nothing Kate loves more than seeing her clients go from struggling with their skin to choosing make-up that enhances, rather than conceals. When she isn’t obsessing about skin care, she’s spending time with her family – her husband, two girls and a very fluffy cat – at their home just outside of London. Her favourite ways to switch off are art, mindfulness, meditation and taking family walks in nature, often with the very fluffy cat in tow!

✨🤩 Transformation Tuesday ✨🤩
Today, I’m sharing an amazing transformation from a client who came to us with acne, scarring and very congested, oily skin. In just a few months, we were able to completely transform her skin.
So how did we do it?
💫 The skincare regime
We recommended the ZO Oil Control regime, which is designed to (as it sounds!) control oil, repair the skin’s barrier, minimise inflammation, accelerate skin turnover and eliminate dead skin cell build up in order to reduce the frequency of breakouts. This regime also included wrinkle texture and repair to target premature ageing, improve texture and minimise pore size.
🧖🏼♀️ The treatment plan
We treated the skin with Advanced Clarifying Acne Facials once a month to clear congestion, stimulate cell turnover and fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. We will soon be commencing a course of microneedling treatments to further target the scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, but already we’ve seen incredible results.
📣 What did our client have to say about?
“Using ZO products and treatments with Lara has been a great and unforgettable experience. Despite the initial inflammation, I am THRILLED with the results! Trusting the process was all worth it, and I’m so happy I stuck with it!”
Ready to kickstart your skincare journey with us? Get in touch, we’d love to hear from you 💫
So here’s the thing: Great skin is not an overnight process (I know, I wish it was!).
It takes 2-3 skin cycles – that’s around 12 weeks – to start seeing significant changes in the skin, once you embark on a new skincare regime, with targeted facials.
Then with time and consistency, the results just get better and better 💫
So kickstart your skincare journey today, and every day, you’ll be one step closer to amazing skin. Time is going to pass anyway, right?
🧖♀️ Everything you need to know about our Clinical Perimenopause & Menopause Facial 🧖♀️
When it comes to how your skin will be impacted during this time, every woman is different; some will breeze through and others will struggle with multiple symptoms. That’s why we tailor the facial to address your individual concerns.
💫 What are the benefits?
There are so many. Here are just a few:
☑️ Activates collagen and elastin to improve skin thickness, elasticity and texture
☑️ Softens fine lines, minimises pore size and tightens skin
☑️ Lightens and prevents hyperpigmentation
☑️ Increases the skin’s natural hydration
☑️ Regulates sebum and treats breakouts
☑️ Calms inflammation and improves skin conditions, such as rosacea
☑️ Repairs and strengthens the skin’s barrier for calm and resilient skin
☑️ Increases cell turnover for a brighter complexion
☑️ Minimises dark under-eye circles and plumps fine lines
☑️ Improves elasticity, poklioderma and pigmentation on the neck, as well as thickening the skin in this area

❄️🙅♀️ Why you DON`T need a moisturiser this winter 🙅♀️❄️ As temperatures start to drop, you might think now is the time to reach for a rich, creamy moisturiser to hydrate your parched skin. But, don’t!
✋ Unless you have a true dry skin type (which is only the case for approximately 10% of the UK population), you DON’T need a moisturiser. In fact, using one will just make your skin lazy, and exacerbate any skin conditions you have.
Hear me out: by using a moisturiser, our skin’s surface sends a signal down to its water reservoirs telling it that there is plenty of moisture and to halt production.
🦥 This makes the skin sluggish and lacking in moisture, so we reach for more moisturiser, thus exacerbating the problem and reaching for a richer moisturiser and often balms and oils.
It’s important to wake up your skin’s natural moisturising mechanisms as this will have a knock on effect and stimulate other processes within the skin – balancing oil production, brightening the complexion and slowing the rate of skin ageing.
🙅♀️ You need to break that perpetual cycle of reaching for a moisturiser when your skin feels tight, often reaching for a richer and richer moisturiser as time goes on.
Once you stop moisturising, this cycle is broken and the skin’s ability to moisturise itself increases over a period of 6-12 weeks. Don’t let that time frame put you off; I normally see client’s skin turn a corner at around 2-3 weeks.
