Rachel is a CIBTAC level 4 qualified facialist. Starting out in her beauty career over two decades ago, working for one of the large French beauty houses in the UK as a beauty and skincare consultant during college, it became quickly apparent her passion was skin focused.

After moving to Ireland in 2016, Rachel decided on a complete change of direction and career, she decided to follow her long standing passion and love for skin. Completing a diploma in Cosmetology and aesthetic treatments at the prestigious Georgina Price beauty college in Galway she embarked on a new career within the beauty industry.

Over the last nine years, Rachel has worked in the beauty industry as a beauty and skincare consultant and skin therapist, training in some of the biggest leading skincare lines in the UK and Ireland today. In 2021 Rachel opened her first skin clinic and within her first year in business won

''Skin Clinic of the Year'' at the Irish Hair & Beauty Awards. Rachel continues to develop her education in skin, continuously upskilling and advancing her knowledge as she believes that education is key when it comes to achieving and maintaining optimum skin health.

“The world of skincare has evolved so much over the last decade, with so much noise around the latest trends, new brands and skin ingredients on the scene it can become overwhelming if not a little confusing when trying to choose the correct products and treatments for your individual skin.

I believe all skin is like a fingerprint - it is unique. As skin is unique there should be a unique way to treat each one. I believe in not only treating each skin, but also educating each and every client about their skin and its individual needs, in order for them to achieve not only their personal skin goals but optimum skin health.”

[Skincare in Pregnancy] During pregnancy you will experience a lot of changes in your body due to the surge of hormones including changes to your skin. Your skin can experience anything from hormonal acne to dry/flaky patches, psoriasis, eczema and chloasma (dark areas of pigmentation known as the pregnancy mask). You may of never had troublesome skin in your life but pregnancy can definitely be a trigger for most of us not only on the face but the body too. There are certain products that should be avoided in pregnancy including Retinoids,Salicylic acids (in certain percentages)and specific in clinic treatments which can increase a risk to your unborn baby due to lack of clinical data so always best to keep your routine gentle. You may also find that certain products in your routine suddenly become irritating to the skin in which case you need to stop using. A simple pregnancy skin routine should include a gentle cleanser Am/Pm, cream cleanser if your on the dryer side and a gentle gel cleanser if your finding your skin is oilier (without acids or harsh exfoliating ingredients)if you like to double cleanse then jojoba oil is a nice option as it contains nothing artificial that will cause irritation. Plenty of hydration is important to keep the skin balanced and nourished so look for a good low weight hyaluronic acid based serum or moisturiser that also contains ingredients like glycerin, Niacinamide and vit B5 (panthenol). Choose a gentle exfoliation, we love skin formulas oatfoliant as it aids gentle exfoliation whilst soothing and hydrating the skin. SPF as always is a non negotiable but opting for a gentle physical (mineral based) SPF that does not contain chemical filters is the best option. If your unsure on what you should/shouldn’t be using in your skin routine during pregnancy and need some advice on how to get the healthiest canvas then it’s best to book in for a consultation to get you on the right track. Whilst a simple and gentle routine is best some skin may be experiencing more complex issues and need that something extra to get things under control. #pregnancyskincareroutine#skincareadvice#healthybalancedskin#oceanskinclinicgalway🌱

Delighted to be nominated again for the Irish Hair & Beauty awards 2024, category Skin Clinic of the year. Three years in business and still doing what I love best. Thank-you for the most supportive clients and trusting me with your skin. If you’d like to vote you can do so via the link in my Bio.

[Melasma] Melasma can be triggered by many causes including hormones, genetic predisposition, contraceptive medications, stress and other internal conditions. It can be one of the trickiest skin conditions to treat and if you suffer from Melasma you will notice the condition worsens in the summer months when your exposed to the sun and heat as it is triggered when exposed to heat and UV. Although one of the most difficult conditions to treat as it’s dermal, the good news is that it can be effectively treated with the correct products and treatments resulting in a brighter more even skin tone. A few of my recommended in clinic treatments and products are as follows, 1. Meso Microneedling with vitamin infusion. 2. Medical grade skin peels. 3. A prescriptive home care routine & Mineral SPF. As Melasma is a complex skin condition and can be persistent and trickier to treat, a full consultation is recommended to get you on the right path to the correct products and in clinic treatments to visibly brighter more even skin tone. #Melasma#skintreatments#skinconsultation#healrhyskin#brighterskintone#oceanskinclinicgalway🌱

Roisin, the most beautiful bride, inside and out. Starting her skin journey in February 2023 she is the most dedicated bride I’ve worked with to date. Roisin wanted to allow plenty of time before her big day to achieve her best skin possible and that she did. Following every piece of advice I offered her and a simple but tailored home care routine with small tweakments closer to the day Roisin was consistent with her home care routine and in clinic treatments. We carried out a course of medical grade peels, Dermapen microneedling, bespoke facials with advanced technologies and LIghtstim LED therapy. The results speak for them self, the most beautiful, radiant, flawless complexion. #weddingskin#weddingskinpreparation#prescriptiveskincare#Alumiermd#dermapen#lightstim#selfcare#beautifulskin#oceanskinclinicgalway🌱

As we approach the official summer months just a little reminder of the importance of protecting our skin with adequate SPF protection. Sun damage presents in many forms of which include, • Skin Cancer • premature ageing, loss of volume and glycation. • pigmentation, melasma and uneven skin tone. • Actinic Keratosis • skin sensitisation Prevention is key to protecting your skin to maintain a healthy, youthful complexion. Most people are pretty savvy now when it comes to being aware of the harmful effects of UV and that wearing a daily SPF 30 or above is non negotiable but it’s crucial to be aware on the hotter days during summer when the UV is higher and the risk of sun damage is more prevalent that we need to reapply especially when outdoors, wear a sun hat and glasses for extra protection of the face and eyes and try to avoid the peak hours between 12-3 when UV rays are at their highest. SPF protection isn’t just for the summer months we should be wearing it 365 days as part of our daily skincare routine, yes even when there’s no sun as where there’s light there’s UV (ultraviolet) rays which continue to break down skin cells which leads to the degradation of collagen & elastin and accelerates premature ageing. #uvprotection#protectyourskin#sundamagerepair#photoageing#heliocare360º#alumiermd#healthyskin#oceanskinclinicgalway🌱

Bridal season is upon us again and you have all the important things in hand for the big day months in advance, the dress, makeup, hair etc but it’s also important to start thinking about your skincare regime a good six months in advance if not more if you want to achieve your best canvas for the big day. Here at the clinic we have you covered from your first in depth consultation where we will take a deep dive into your current routine, a thorough skin analysis to educate you on what your skin needs going forward, and a customised treatment plan for in clinic treatments in the lead up to your big day to ensure you achieve that beautiful, clear bridal glowing skin. #bridalskin#bridalglow#bridalskincareroutine#bridalskincaretreatments#oceanskinclinicgalway🌱

Spring Skin As we head into spring it’s important to have a spring clean out of our skincare products too, making sure we are not using products past their sell by date where you should be able to find either somewhere on the bottom of the packaging or via the batch number. Products past their expiry are not only less effective but also have potential for bacteria growth. As the seasons change so do our skin care needs so it’s important to change things up a little. Just a few simple tweaks are suffice to make sure your skin is hydrated and healthy and we buff away that build up of dead skin cells that can accumulate in the winter months making our skin dull & uneven. Above are a few of my skincare essentials that are perfect for that transition from winter into spring to reveal a glowing , healthy, hydrated complexion. Fusion Deep cleanser is a lightweight melting micro emulsion suitable for all skin types. Despite its rich nourishment this cleanser feels light and cool containing low molecular weight hyaluronic acid it delivers a refreshing, melting sensation upon application. Alumier MD Bright & Clear solution is a best seller and award winning product in the range. A refreshing skin conditioning solution that exfoliates cellular debris and refines the complexion. Containing Lactic acid , Salicylic and caviar lime to brighten and improve skin texture it’s the perfect gentle chemical exfoliant to bring into your spring routine. Alumier MD Ultimate boost Serum is a lightweight serum that dramatically boosts hydration, packed with repairing, Hydrating and antioxidant protection to enhance the skins natural hydrolipid barrier it strengthens skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Can be used alone as a multifunctional hydrating serum or as a booster under a moisturiser or SPF. This is one of my all time favourite serums and perfect for a spring boost to brighten the complexion and combat any winter dullness. Heliocare Water Gel SPF 50 is an intensely hydrating, water based gel that sinks into the skin to provide immediate long lasting hydration. With a lightweight, matte finish it’s my go to for the perfect spring/summer SPF.

Just a little reminder that ageing is a privilege, it’s not about trying to rewind the clock back twenty years, it’s about being the best version of yourself here and now no matter what your age. We like to refer to treating the signs of ageing as age management when talking about fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, skin laxity, texture and pores, not anti ageing. The earlier you invest in your skin from the inside out the better, as the results will clearly speak for themselves years down the line. Skin is always a big give away on someones age if they have neglected it so investing in your skin is key to preventing premature ageing and maintaining a more youthful, healthy appearance. #agemanagement#healthyskin#yourhfulskin#advancedskincare#alumiermd#cosmedixskincare#exquisitefaceandbody#skinformulasskincare#skintreatments#oceanskinclinicgalway🌱

It’s reviews like these that make all the continuous education and learning of new skills and protocols so worthwhile. Yes, of course, first and foremost it’s all about treating and educating clients about their skin and it’s specific needs but it’s also about the experience we strive to give each and every client that walks through the door of Oceanskin. #clientreviews💕#skineducation#passionateaboutskin#oceanskinclinicgalway🌱

[Skin Clinic of the year] Yes we won Skin Clinic of the Year last Sunday at the Irish hair & Beauty Awards and I’m still pinching myself a week later. I was really disappointed to have missed the award night as I was away on honeymoon but I just cannot thank each and everyone of you enough for taking your time to vote for me. I’m blown away with all of your ongoing support and the support I’ve received since opening the doors to Oceanskin last year, it’s been unreal, thank you so much. Congratulations to all the other finalists and winners in the industry who are all truly passionate about what they do. Lots of plans, ideas and new things to come and always with my clients in mind. Here’s to the future 🍾🥂💕xx #skinclinicoftheyearwinner#oceanicevents#passionateaboutskin#irishhairandbeautyawards2022

[Skin Results] The images above show a before and after picture spaced only 6 weeks apart of a beautiful client that came into me for a skin consultation with specific skin concerns of inflammation and an impaired barrier, having consultations previously and after trialling an array of recommended products she unfortunately wasn’t seeing the results she had hoped for. We had in depth consultation and stripped back all of the existing skincare products she was currently using. After recommending three prescriptive products only, no in clinic treatments and her consistency with use of the products the results speak for themselves. Just a little reminder that less is more and most importantly that you use the correct products for your individual, specific skin concerns to achieve the best results. #skinresults#barrierfunction#Alumiermd#beautifulskin#skineducation#oceanskinclinicgalway🌱

The most beautiful day 25.08.22, shared with the best people. Feeling incredibly blessed to have married this beautiful soul and looking forward to spending an eternity together ❤️✨Thanks so much to the best of the best in the industry who were not only amazing at what they do but the nicest people you could wish to meet, making the day so special from start to finish. @photosbybokeh @connemaracoast_hotel @colleenallmanmakeup @bespokeweddingsandevent @renovar_aesthetics @emilysbeautysalon07 @nailsbyniki.x @woodlawn_bakes @mitchellflowersgalway #thebestweddingever#brideandgroom #wildatlanticwaygalway#oceanvibes#love💕

[Exquisite Ultra hydrating facial toner] A summer skincare essential to incorporate into any routine for hydrated, comfortable skin. This ultra hydrating formula restores and balances the epidermis. Sea salt works to restore the natural skin moisture barrier whilst probiotics provide a soothing effect to restore and balance to leave your skin truly hydrated and replenished. You can purchase this product and the full truly Exquisite skincare range at oceanskinclinic.ie link in bio #exquisitefaceandbody#summerskincareessential#madeinfrance🇫🇷 #skinhydration#skinhealth#oceanskinclinicgalway🌱#loughcorriboughterard

[Neck & Décolletage] The neck and décolletage is an area of concern for many of my clients, when it comes to skincare were nearly all guilty of neglecting these delicate areas and it’s one of the main areas that will experience ageing and lax skin first. As the delicate skin is much thinner on the neck and décolletage it also has less oil glands than that of the face resulting in the skin ageing in this area at a visibly faster pace. Treat your neck & décolletage with the same TLC as your face, incorporating your cleanse, exfoliation, antioxidants, serums, masks and that all important SPF every day. You can also incorporate your PM routine down onto the neck, if your using a retinol gently does it as the skin is thinner so a small amount at a low concentration to avoid any irritation then lots of hydration. When it comes to treatments for the neck area a neck firming cream isn’t going to solve every concern unfortunately, yes they can help to smooth the texture of the skin, hydrate and plump but they won’t perform miracles. The best results I see are from incorporating good home care products,being consistent along with micro needling to produce more collagen and elastin, regular in clinic facials using technologies like Radiofrequency and Microcurrent and profhilo to really see long term visible results and a more youthful appearance to the overall area. #agemanagement#neckanddecollete#buildingbeautifulskin#exquisitefaceandbody#rejuvapennxt#profhilo#oceanskinclinicgalway🌱

[Oceanskin’s first Birthday] Happy 1st Birthday Oceanskin, we made it to year one and I couldn’t be happier. A year ago today I opened the doors to my first business.

I’m growing and learning more everyday and have lots of future plans for Oceanskin and a clear vision of how I’d like to see my small business flourish and develop into full fruition. Thanks a million to each and every single one of you who have supported me and my small business. Im so grateful as without your support Oceanskin simply wouldn’t be. #oceanskinturnsonetoday#oceanskinclinicgalway🌱#buildingbeautifulskin#happybirthdaybusiness 🎉🎂

Lovely client reviews 💕

[Skin Consultation] Consultation is the first step to your healthiest skin, it is key to achieving those desired results and educating yourself on your own personal skin needs. It’s the initial stage where I can get to know you a little better on a personal level but also on your lifestyle, existing skin routine and products and what you’d like to achieve. The new client session is for anyone new to the skin game or anyone that isn’t but has fell of the wayside a little and is looking to get back on track to their healthiest skin. A consultation can be booked before any facial or in clinic treatment, it’s where we look in depth into your current routine and products, lifestyle, any skin concerns you might have and expectations going forward. From there we will map out a prescriptive skincare plan along with in clinic treatments to start you on the path to your best skin. To Book now link in bio #skinconsultation#skineducation#skinhealth#beautifulskin#alumiermd#cosmedixskincare#exquisitefaceandbody#oceanskinclinicgalway🌱

The best part of this job is when clients tell me how happy they are with the visible changes they begin to see with their skin after a few weeks or months of starting on a personalised skincare routine and in clinic treatments. It’s not just about the visual results but the self confidence they gain once they see their skin start to transform and flourish into its healthiest version. Once we are educated on our skin and it’s individual needs we begin to understand why the products we may of been previously using aren’t working and why. We learn what our skin needs and why we don’t need an arsenal of products to achieve those desired results. Once we stop over exfoliating, using products that aren’t the correct ones for our skin, using too many products that majority of the time we have no clue what there really for or even why we need them or if there even working at all, then we can strip it all back to basics. Consistency and keeping it simple is key, once we start to feed, nurture and nourish our skin from the inside out, that’s when we start to see those skin changes, skin that blossoms with vitality, radiance and health. #skinhealthiskey#simpleskinroutine#skineducation#skinresults#buildingbeautifulskin#skingoals✨ #oceanskinclinicgalway

It’s Sunday morning so take the opportunity to stay in bed a while longer as your skin will thank you for it. Getting the adequate amount of sleep is vital not just for your overall health and well-being but also to your skin health. When we sleep our skin rebuilds collagen and repairs itself from UV exposure and damage. Less sleep or lack of good quality sleep can equal more fine lines and wrinkles which leads to accelerated skin ageing and a poorer barrier function so take advantage and rest up when you get the chance. #lazysundaymorning#sundaymorningliein#sleeprepairsskin#skinhealth#agemanagement#beautifulskin#oceanskinclinicgalway

Beginning the weekend with a little bit of pampering and self care this evening, a long hot bath accompanied with Alumier MD Aqua Infusion Mask and Exquisite eye mask, the ultimate skin hydration. #selfcare#skinpampering#alumiermd#exquisitemask#lookafteryourskin#selfcarewednesday#skinmasking#oceanskinclinicgalway#buildingbeautifulskin#lovetheskinyourein🍀

“Life is the flower for which love is the honey.” Victor Hugo Happy Valentine’s Day❤️#valentinesday#love

Let’s just take a minute to admire this beautiful, glowing skin, post signature facial.✨ #beautifulskin#healthyskin#glowingskin#skingoals#oceanskinclinicgalway

Masking] Incorporating a facial mask into your skin routine can really take things to the next level it can make a visible difference and has immense benefits to your skin which include, • Increasing hydration levels • Detoxification for clearer skin & refined pores • Evening out of skin tone & texture • Nourishing the skin for a firmer more radiant complexion. You can incorporate a mask with a little bit of relaxation like when taking a long bath or simply unwinding, apply to clean skin after cleansing then leave on for the recommended time. Many masks on the market can be left on over night, I’m a big fan of overnight masks as I find they deeply nourish and increase hydration levels in the skin with longer lasting results. Whatever your skin concern or if it’s to simply enhance your home routine results, there’s some amazing masks on the market for every skin type and below👇are some of my favourites. (Exquisite dual hydration mask) With liquorice root extract, aloe, marine peptides & low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, this mask gives the most amazing results, it deeply hydrates the skin whilst plumping out fine lines & wrinkles and working to reduce uneven skin tone & texture, my all time favourite mask. (Alumier MD Aqua infusion mask) An oil free lightweight mask that provides intense hydration, with natural sugars, low molecular weight hyaluronic acid and natural moisturising factors this mask not only deeply hydrates dry/dehydrated skin but it soothes and calms irritation, improving skin barrier function for all skin types & concerns. (Cosmedix clear deep cleansing mask) Deeply exfoliates and helps balance skin. Powered by kaolin clay, salacylic acid & sulphur to trap excess oil , draw out impurities to help balance out skin whilst botanical extracts sooth irritation and reduce redness. The glow after this mask is like nothing else. (Trilogy age proof overnight mask) A high street favourite that works to deeply hydrate and nourish, supporting the skins natural renewal process. Enriched with a potent blend of vitamins and botanical extracts this intensely hydrating leave on overnight cream mask works to nourish, firm and promote radiance.

[UV Radiation] Just a gentle reminder that we need still need to be using a broad spectrum sunscreen 365 days a year, so yes even on those dull, drizzly, dark, wintry days that we’re experiencing at the moment. As we’re now much more educated that the biggest cause of premature ageing is from UV damage, it’s imperative that it’s always the last step in our daily skincare routine. 🍂 skinclinic #skincare #skinhealthfirst#skincareroutine #glowingskin ##aesthetics #healthyskin #acne #antiaging #skintreatments#sunscreen #uvlight#skincaretips101 #skincare #skinhealth #skincaretips #facials #healthyskinisalwaysin#oceanskinclinicgalway

[Lightstim LED] Lightstim LED Light therapy, It’s definitely one of the most favourite parts of the signature facial when any clients come into Oceanskin. The treatment enhances any facial or in clinic treatment to truly rejuvenate the skin and leave you glowing from within. As the gentle wavelengths of light penetrate the epidermis there is a relaxing warmth so you can drift away with your thoughts and imagination to a place of tranquility, the ultimate relaxation experience. Whilst this is a relaxing treatment the wavelengths of light are working at varying depths energising the cells to produce collagen, elasticity and oxygen whilst releasing toxins. This stimulates the anti ageing response, improving skin tone and clarity. facial #skincare #beauty #skin #skincareroutine #antiaging #facialtreatments #glowingskin #acne #selfcare #esthetician #facials # #healthyskin #skincaretips #skincareproducts #microneedling #sensitiveskin #ledlight #skinclinic #galwayskinclinic #oughterard #barna #knocknacarra

Just a reminder that skin results take time, patience and most importantly consistency. There is no miracle quick fix solution when treating any particular skin concern and sometimes we may need to tweak the routine a little along the way, whether it be with topical ingredients or in clinic treatments to achieve those desired results. #skinpatience #skinhealthfirst #ageing #agemanagement #sensitiveskin #skincare #igbeauty #facialist #galwaycity #quotes #skincaretips #skincareroutine #oughtherard #skin #skininvestment

[post facial glow] The post skin glow after a facial lasts around 3 days as matured cells are buffed away, micro circulation is increased delivering vital minerals, nutrients, and oxygenation to the cells, revealing a bright, healthy, hydrated complexion. The life cycle of a facial lasts between 25-50 days depending on your skin cell turnover and more importantly your home care routine. Having the correct active skincare products in your home routine along will increase longevity and results of in clinic facials and skin treatments, meaning your skin will continue to glow with health and vitality long after the facial results begin to fade. We recommend having a facial every four to six weeks as skin is such a complex organ it changes daily, you’ll notice one day your skin can look great and the next it can look dull and uneven. Having a regular facial and a facialist that knows your skin can be a game changer to your skin health as they can educate you on what your skin needs and what it doesn’t in order to achieve the desired results. #buildingbeautifulskin #skinhealth #facialist #igbeauty #galwaycity #agemanagement #lookbeauty #skincells #glowing #agebeautifully #proageing #lookafteryourskin #photoageing #lookyoungerlonger #afterglow #results #facial

[Oceanskin Clinic] Why the name Oceanskin? Well, it was the name chosen for my clinic from day one as I’ve lived very close to the ocean my whole life, even from my childhood days living in the Med where the ocean and the beach is just a way of everyday life. Seawater contains lots of beneficial substances like magnesium, potassium, zinc, iodine, calcium, sodium and iron. These minerals can be highly beneficial for conditions like eczema and psoriasis and other immune mediated conditions, it also significantly speed up the healing process. The sound of the ocean and waves have been proven to be so therapeutic that they release the feel-good chemicals serotonin and dopamine in the brain, stimulating a feeling of calm, wellbeing, and happiness. I love the sound the smell and the uplifting feeling the ocean brings, it’s a place to clear my mind and gather my thoughts to feel truly revitalised and recharged. At Oceanskin, I wanted to create a little haven of relaxation and tranquility, a place of escapism from the hussle and bussle of modern-day life where achieving skin results is incorporated with some relaxation and downtime.

[Skin cell turnover] The average adult skin cell turnover is between 25-28 days but as we age this natural process of cell desquamation and renewal slows down dramatically, meaning our complexion can look dull and the tone and texture, uneven and rough to the touch. A common concern I hear from a lot of my clients is that they feel there skin looks dull and that the texture isn’t soft and supple as it used to be. Adding in a chemical exfoliant or a suitable type of Retinoid to your skin care routine can make the world of visible difference to your skin and it’s overall health. Exfoliation helps to remove the matured cells sitting on the surface of the outer most part of our epidermis, leaving the skin smoother, brighter and more youthful. I think most of us at this point have heard of the most talked about anti ageing, buzz ingredient on the block, I’m of course talking about Vitamin A otherwise known as Retoinic acid, Retinol, Retinaldehyde, Retinol Palmitate etc, lots of different forms that are formulated and tolerated by the skin differently. This buzz ingredient speeds up our cell turnover but has another whole host of skin benefits another post on that one later. Another great ingredient in your routine for sure but not every skin can tolerate it and going in hard with this ingredient definitely won’t give you those desired results only irritation, peeling and discomfort if not used properly so start low and go slow, have a consultation with your skin care professional to find out the best one that’s most suitable for your skin. 🍃 #skincarespecialist #skinfirst #oldage #skinfacts #skincell #respectyourskinmicrobiome #oceanskinclinic #skingoals #oughterard #beautyobsessed #ageing #skinhealth #nourish-skin #skinclinics #face-routine

Here at Oceanskin, we believe cleansing is the most important step to beautiful, healthy skin. Using the correct cleanser is crucial to maintain and protect the epidermis protective barrier, without stripping away the natural lipids. The exquisite duo is a firm favourite of mine and the best thing is, it is formulated to suit every skin type, whether it be Sensitive, Acne, Ageing, Dry/Dehydrated. The amazing ingredients work to repair, restore and replenish the skin barrier, soothing, hydrating and balancing the skins natural PH. The exquisite soothing gel cleanser is like no other cleanser I’ve tried and believe me there’s been a lot. It contains super ingredients which include, Soothing Centella Asiatica 🍃 Calming Oat kernel extract 🌾 Hydrating low molecular weight Hyluronic acid 💦 The creamy formula glides over the skin like silk, transforming into a lightweight gel to melt away makeup, pollutants and debris from the day to leave your skin, calm, soothed, soft, happy and glowing. Step two is the ultra hydrating facial toner with the main ingredient being Sea salt (Magnesium) , sea salt restores the natural moisture barrier of the skin and balances the natural PH. The results are healthy, super hydrated, calm, clear skin that glows from within. Take your cleanse routine to the next level.

[Benefits of Micro- Needling] Micro- Needling otherwise known as Collagen induction therapy has many amazing skin benefits. Since micro-needling enhances the production of collagen the treatment can reverse the signs of sun damage, improve the appearance of acne scars and hyperpigmentation. Fine lines and wrinkles can be reduced, and an overall healthier appearance of the skin will occur. Micro needling is a treatment that creates tiny invisible micro injuries in the skin, these micro injuries then activate the skins natural repair process resulting in the formation of new collagen production. The micro needling treatment can thicken the epidermis up to 80%. #agespots #skintip #skintransformation #spatreatments #cleanface #newskincare #bestresults #youngskin #itchyskin #lookfresh #lookinggreat #lookperfect #4everyoung #breakoutskin #acnescarsremoval #facialproducts #deadskin #preventative #lookglam #alwaysyoung #beautycentre #enhancebeauty #intaskincare #beautyfirst #faceroutine #diamondpeel #facelotion #customskincare

[Beauty is Confidence] The most consistent feedback I receive from clients is that they have began to wear less make up since beginning their new skin routine or in clinic treatments & facials. The reason being, they feel so much more confident in their own skin. When we feel confident about ourselves and the way we look it increases not only self esteem and confidence but also our overall well-being.🍃💖 #clinicalskincare #wrinklesfordays #lookinfresh #lookyouthful #passionateaboutskin #connemara #youngskin #facialsoap #bestresult #beautifuls #greatskin #agespots #skintip #skintransformation #cosmeticdoctor #spatreatments #cleanface #newskincare #youngeryou #lookbeauty #glowing #skincells #agebeautifully #proageing #lookafteryourskin #agemanagement

[The benefits of an Advanced facial] Whilst facials are of course a luxury, they aren’t just for luxury. Getting a monthly facial or treatment can help you to not only achieve those desired results for a more youthful complexion and confidence boost but it can also increase our general well-being. Whether your concern is ageing, pigmentation, breakout or dull, tired skin, a bespoke facial will target and treat those concerns with the correct products, ingredients and modalities, resulting in hydrated, plump, bright, healthier, glowing skin. Regular facials can not only transform our skin from a visible perspective but it can also help to reduce stress and anxiety levels through relaxation and massage techniques, giving us that little bit of time out and escapism we all so much deserve. #skinhealth #agemanagement #beautycentre #enhancebeauty #intaskincare #beautyfirst #barna #faceroutine #diamondpeel #facelotion #customskincare #greatskin #agespots #skintips #skintransformation #cosmeticdoctor #spatreatments #cleanface #newskincare #bestresults #youngskin #facialsoap #beautiful #tighten #greenskincare #effective #younger #glasskin #lookfresh

“Love what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life”. I’m so grateful to be doing not only something I love but something I’ve been truly passionate about since I can remember. Again thanks to all of you that have supported me and my small business so far in these uncertain times I’m so greatful.💕

[A little trip] We will be out of office from Friday 1st October and back as usual Wednesday 6th. I will be taking a little trip across the pond to the UK to do some training on new treatments coming to the clinic very soon. I am constantly striving to bring the most innovative, results driven treatments and brands to the clinic room as well as continuously educating myself on all things skin. As I’ve said previously, in this game we will never be done learning as the industry is forever growing, new treatments, modalities and skin ingredients are continuously introduced and keeping up to date with everything can at times be a challenge but its definitely key to achieving the best results for clients. #travel#training#skintraining#keeponeducatingyourself#newtreatments#skinhealth#passionateaboutskin#oceanskinclinicgalway#homewardbound✈️

[Testimonials] I have said before how your reviews mean so much to me and how it makes everything I’m working hard to build so worthwhile. Opening a new business in these unpredictable times was always a risk but I’ve always gone with my gut instinct on every decision Ive made in life and it has always had a habit of working out. I opened doors only four months ago so it’s still early days and every day I’m learning more but so far this journey has been more than I could of hoped for. The support I have had from so many people, strangers I didn’t even know who are now not only my clients but have become friends. People that have welcomed me and my family into this beautiful town that we now are so grateful to call home. Thank-you for not only your lovely reviews but for all your on going support so far it means so much to me. #testimonials#clientsupport#passionateaboutskin#oceanskinclinicgalway 🌊

[Seasonal Skincare] As the leaves are changing so should our skincare. Your skin changes multiple times daily but as we head into the cooler months skin changes can become more visible and apparent. As the temperature drops outside, we crank up the heating inside which leads to low humidity. With the combination of cold commutes, central heating and hot showers, the skins natural moisture barrier is disrupted and this can lead to trans epidermal water loss, showing as dry, flaky, sensitised skin. Introducing gentle acids for exfoliation, moisturisers with hydrating, nourishing and barrier protection properties along with facial oils and ceramides will not only nourish the skin but will also improve moisture retention in the long haul. #autumnskincare#healthyskin#oceanskinclinicgalway 🍁🍂🍃

[Recharge] After a weeks holiday to recharge my batteries I’m back in the studio fully recharged, skin focused and ready for some training on new things to come. Sometimes rest and taking a break is the most productive thing we can do not only for our physical well being but our mental well being too. Recharging isn’t just for our phones but as human beings the body and mind need to recharge regularly to function their best. Recharging the mind and body has many benefits that include, reducing stress levels, increasing creativity and strengthening of the immune system so even if your not taking a holiday try to incorporate some recharge time into your daily routine whether it be a walk, reading or just taking a little time for yourself to simply unwind. #rechargeyourself#selfcare#healthandwellbeing#oceanskinclinicgalway🌊
