THE TREATMENT ROOM Justine Masters, Facialist

I’m a little bit obsessed with glowing skin I can’t exactly pinpoint exactly when this obsession began but I did celebrate a significant birthday at the end of last year and have noticed a number of changes in my complexion over the past few years Whilst I do consider myself somewhat of a skincare addict, I have long felt that I could do with a bit of expert guidance

I’ve followed Justine Masters on Instagram for a while and have always been struck by her own natural glow She works out of three different locations: South Moulton Street, Triyoga Shoreditch and Triyoga Ealing, in Dickens Yard, giving fabulous, glow-giving facials

I went for a bespoke facial with Justine in Dicken's Yard Triyoga. She began the session with a consultation during which she asked me to tell her three things that concern me about my skin and what I would like to work on She then adapted the facial, from the treatment to the products, to my skin concerns and skin type

The bespoke nature of Justine's treatment is very specific - she hand-blends products and masques to each client’s needs. She does a deep dive into diet, lifestyle, and stress and, if the body needs to be relaxed, she also uses reiki within her treatments She works with two brands: Dermaviduals and Osmosis Skincare which are both non-toxic and free from emulsifiers, perfumes, and preservatives They're also oncology and breastfeeding safe

Leaving Justine's treatment I felt the glow - with calm, with health, with radiance my complexion was recognisably different immediately The Bespoke Facial is £125 with which you receive an email with suggestions on supplement, skincare and lifestyle changes

My key skin issue is ageing (sigh, so predictable) but Justine refused to acknowledge this term because of its negative undertones Ageing is an inevitable fact; your skin doesn't have to necessarily suffer as a result of it. Her recommendation for me was to use calm retinal aka Vitamin A which reduces oil production in the T zone but also works on fine lines and wrinkles and brightens and tightens the skin as it speeds up cell production Her three top tips were to make sure I was using the correct skincare for my skin concerns; to cleanse at night with a gentle cleanser and to (of course!) wear SPF daily
