How to have even skin tone – without make-up.
This Coronavirus lock-down brings challenges for all, although it can be a time for an overhaul of our health and wellbeing. This very much applies to the way we look, which can often have a considerable effect on the way we feel. One of the aesthetic trends which has been prominent recently is the seeking of fresh, even-toned skin. Many of my patients have previously tried to cover up uneven tone with make-up and concealers.

Open pores, blackheads, whiteheads and spots.
You don’t have to suffer from enlarged pores, blackheads, whiteheads or spots- effective treatment is available.
