Samantha why did you set up Skin Fit Clinic and what is the background and ethos of the business?
My background is all beauty and skin! I started out as a spa therapist at Ragdale Hall Health Hydro 30 years ago and my fascination with the trade has grown ever since. I worked both in training and sales roles for some major brands and spas worldwide before moving into the aesthetics and surgical industry with some immensely talented medical professionals which I am hugely grateful for. Although I have had some more strategic roles I am a therapist at heart and the thought of returning to my roots and being closer to my family was a pipe dream until Skin Fit came along. I consider that my therapists are the best in the industry and I think the clients will all agree with that. They are all highly skilled and trained in all of our services and have many years of experience behind them. They are what make our business great. My vision was to be able to offer positive, honest results to clients and at the same time make their experience be ever so luxurious. We don’t offer what we can’t do and we have a great network of professionals to refer to if we feel the client would benefi t from alternative advice.

What services do you offer and how do your services differ from other clinics?
We offer over 38 different facials – from the WOW facial transformational peeling and dermaplaning to the brand new Hydro2 Facial 5* facial using hydro peeling, we have something for every skin and personality type. We also offer Laser Hair removal and are specialists in Electrology for hair removal. Clients looking not just for a face focus may opt for our body skin tightening, whilst we also pride ourselves on traditional services such as nails and waxing. We differ from other salons and clinics because we successfully combine a huge offering of skin treatments with luxury and comfort. I don’t believe that a clinic has to be as clinical as a consulting room to be good.

What do you think will be the big skin trends in 2020 and what are your plans for the next 2-5 years?
Results, results, results! Clients want to see a change in their skin and nothing less. As professionals we are becoming more profi cient at guiding our clients through looking after their skin and solving minor issues easily. Facial peeling and hydrating is becoming more accessible and the use of more useful ingredients such as the acids (lactic, glycolic, salicylic, mandelic, hyaluronic etc.) are stepping up into regular facial routines- this is where our industry need to be on the ball and able to identify how, when and why clients are using them and also to rein back in some control with regards to advice on overuse.

‘I just love love love Skin Fit! I have been coming for a year getting WOW facials – I’ve now had a fi ve star facial and loved it, plus I’m getting so many compliments on how lovely my skin is. Sam is friendly and so knowledgeable, I could not recommend it enough.’ – Louise Rawlinson, client of Skin Fit Face and Body Clinic.
