The Skin Cabin Website is Now Live!

March 15, 2021

A warm welcome to The Skin Cabin website.

Hello friends! Welcome to my brand-new website and first blog from The Skin Cabin! I hope this finds you well and with Spring nearly upon us all, that you share with me hope and positivity for the months ahead in 2021. During this third lockdown and whilst being kept fully absorbed with home-schooling, I really wanted to make it my absolute mission to FINALLY create a website for The Skin Cabin, and here it is!! A special thanks to James White at Salon Branded who helped me immensely along the way to make it happen…

You’ll also spot that I’ve used this pause on hands-on treatments to give my menu a little refresh. Please note for my lovely existing clients and newbies who are eager to redeem your treatment vouchers from Christmas and Birthday pressies from loved ones, the much-loved Skin Cabin Glow and Ultimate Glow Facials are still going strong once I’m back open again (or when you’re ready and able to redeem your voucher), they have just had a little rename and will fall under The Bespoke offering. As much as I LOVE to freestyle, with every single treatment that I give, to make it as truly personal an experience as you and your skin needs, I wanted to create a little library of my facials to help you decide what your goals are and for me to give you exactly what you love and need. Each treatment remains bespoke in its own right but I thought it would be nice to have a bit of a selection to pick from too. I hope you like! 


I also have some exciting new devices and practices to weave into your experiences that I have been developing and refining; I can’t wait to share more about this with you in the coming months! You may also notice that my facials are now predominantly 90-minute hands-on sessions. The 90 minutes allows me to truly get to understand and work with your skin and achieve the very best results without compromising on time or luxury. Each facial is more like a whole-body experience, with the firm belief that every element of the body is connected. For example, easing tension in the hands, arms, neck, shoulders and scalp will lead to increased lymphatic and blood flow to the face and décolleté, therefore having a positive impact on the performance and appearance of the skin. Do note though that there is The Bespoke 60-minute session for the times that you’d like a shorter experience.

To close, as I write this, we have been advised by the Government that the earliest possible date that treatments may resume is 12th April 2021 which I am so happy about! All those who had treatments booked in with me that had to be cancelled back in December, January and February and also those with vouchers who are eager to redeem as soon as possible, are all on my priority list. My waiting list is also filling up which is so lovely so do get in touch if you’d like to be added to it. I feel it is going to be a really lovely and busy summer in The Skin Cabin and I can’t wait to be able to see and treat you all! I will be in touch with all that are on my priority and waiting lists once we get the go-ahead and if all remains on track for the roadmap out of lockdown! I have everything crossed!


Stay safe and sending love,

Karen x

Dear friends, I hope this finds you well and sharing with me that positive feeling that Spring may just be around the corner! I love this time of the year- witnessing the tulips and daffodils starting to pop through the soil and the days starting to feel a little longer and brighter!

Dear friends, I hope this finds you well and having a lovely summer! I wanted to get in touch to give you a little update as I FINALLY have some exciting treatment news!! Since moving home from Wilmington to Joydens Wood back in 2022 I have missed having my own treatment space so much and connecting with and treating you, my lovely clients and friends, as much as I’d been able to previously… It’s been a busy couple of years developing our home and during this period continuing my role in Skin and Treatment Education at Liz Earle too. My kiddies are growing so fast as well -now 10 and 7 and I’m feeling like I just want time to slow down although I love how in the world of treatments, that really is the magic! I’ve so enjoyed connecting with as many of you as possible at the temporary location at the Pilates Studio in Bexley and I’ve been so grateful I’ve been able to have my little ‘pop up’ there, however I have news!! The Skin Cabin #2 is all ready and waiting for you and what a dream come true it feels! A slight twist to the cabin as my new space is a studio attached to our home, set in the heart of Joydens Wood. Created from scratch, I’ve been able to cherry-pick every detail to ensure it oozes a calm, nurturing, and soothing vibe- the perfect escape from our busy lives to restore, recharge and reset through the power of touch. Treatments are available to start booking now for September onwards- do click on the ‘Treatments’ tab to view my treatment menu. Feel free to send me a note for any more information or to simply say hello or if you need help or advice on choosing the best treatment/s to suit what you really need. Bookings can be made* by phone/WhatsApp on 07740 368588 or by email karen@theskincabin.com .  You may notice there’s a newbie on the menu too! I qualified in Rejuvology back in June and have been busy practising the treatment on friends and family in preparation for its launch in September and have fallen in love with the treatment. Rejuvology is a physical and holistic method of facial rejuvenation that integrates various disciplines to revitalise both your face and your emotional well-being. Totally different to a traditional facial, the treatment is all hands-on with little product integration, but combines ancient and modern techniques that are drawn from lymphatic drainage, myo-fascia release, cranial sacral work and acupressure. In combination, this natural face rejuvenation treatment effectively restores skin suppleness, promoting freedom and elasticity in the connective tissue of the face as well as engaging muscles, fascia and the lymphatic system to bring about vibrancy to the skin. Not only skin-specific results for facial contour revival but Rejuvology’s therapeutic touch soothes the nervous system to support emotional well-being too! And finally, I have stocked up on Treatment Gift Vouchers so if you’re looking to treat a loved one, do get in touch and I can get one prepared for you! You can pick either the voucher being of monetary value if you’re not sure which treatment to go for or you can select a specific treatment to be written on the voucher-you decide! It will be so special to welcome you into my new treatment space, and in the meantime, sending lots of love and best wishes to you all for a wonderful rest of the summer! Hope to see you soon… Karen x *To secure a slot, a deposit of £20 will be required on booking which will be redeemable against your treatment. I know life doesn’t always run smoothly and so if you do need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, I do require at least 24 hours notice, your deposit will be put towards a new booking. I regret that I cannot refund deposits for treatments missed or where less than 24 hours notice is received.

I really hope this finds you keeping well and enjoying the gradual movement to lighter restrictions, sunnier weather and having the much needed face to face connections again with family and friends...

Ahead of treatments reopening in the cabin, I just wanted to share with you the safety and Covid-Secure measures I have in place; which have certainly become completely normal practice since the first return back to treatments in July last year.
Tackling and Treating Milia
March 15, 2021
I wanted to share a little on Milia; what they are, how to prevent them, how to soften them at home and also a few techniques I use in treatment to help get rid of them! Milia are those little white pearly bumps that can appear on the surface of your skin. It is a really popular skin query I get in the cabin, for help and advice on, and something I definitely can be prone to; mainly down to having a naturally drier skin type myself.
