Facials for
mind
body
and skin.
Balancing skin, by rebalancing you.
Your skin is like a two-way mirror. What’s happening inside often shows up on the outside. Things like stress, lifestyle and even your diet, can trigger skin imbalances such as dryness, inflammation and breakouts.
That’s why at Skin & Dosha we take a holistic approach to facials, combining expert skin knowledge with Ayurvedic Dosha techniques to bring real and lasting results.
-
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
Each treatment begins with a personalised consultation to understand your skin goals. From there, we’ll create you a tailored plan using natural products, advanced massage and restorative techniques. Supporting your skin while giving you the space to switch off and relax.

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’.
