THE ALTERNATIVE FACIALIST

It was whilst working as a fashion stylist that Justine Masters suddenly started to experience hot flushes, exhaustion, acne and felt that her skin had aged overnight. As she was in her late forties, she realised that it could be the start of the perimenopause. Her research into the possible effects it could have on her body and skin lead her to try and find a menopausal skin expert who could advise and treat all the conditions that she was experiencing. When she was unable to find anyone, she decided to take matters into her own hands and began to train as a holistic facialist. Her unique approach which involves looking inwards to treat external problems and seeking out the root causes of skin conditions sets her apart from other facialists and makes her a truly unique practitioner.

Determined to champion skin health and pro-aging as a skin therapist and healer, Justine set up as The Alternative Facialist. Through years of client consultations and personal experience, Justine noticed that often skin complaints were caused from imbalances within the body and mind, and treatment protocols needed to be individualised. So, “Great skin starts from within” became the guiding principle of Justine’s holistic approach.

Always on a daily quest for new information, Justine is constantly learning and trialling in order to bring the very best in knowledge, technique and product. All treatments begin with an expert consultation to customise your plan which always comprises of external and internal therapeutic solutions.

Her bespoke, holistic facials focus on healing the skin from a mind, gut and skin perspective so that the root cause of concern is targeted and the very best results can be achieved. She looks at hormones, diet, sleep and the nervous system to assess your skin combined with skin mapping and she goes far deeper than the usual facial. After assessing your specific skin type, she then customises a unique treatment to address a range of things that may be noticed such as ageing, scarring, dryness, dehydration, redness, reactive/sensitivity, and pigmentation to name but a few.

Justine also provides specific facials for topics such as acne, menopause, etc and uses a mix of techniques such as facial massage, Gua Sha, Reiki, Lymphatic drainage, Micro needling, Radio Frequency, Oxygen, LED, plus top-quality skincare products to suit you.

Afterwards, clients are provided with a bespoke protocol based on the assessment and facial to continue to achieve the best results at home. It aims to educate clients on what works best for their unique skin type so that optimal skin health is achieved and sustained.

Justine Masters is based in London at 58 South Moulton Street and Triyoga Ealing and Shoreditch. Prices start from £150.
