We are not exaggerating when we say this – these products from Aveda can transform your skin! One of our staffers will explain. Unfortunately, I'm one of those poeple who’ve never had good skin. As a teenager I had the usual spots and as a result, some rather unattractive scarring. I had tried all sorts of over the counter and even prescribed treatments. Nothing worked. Well, my concealer from Mac did!
Fast forward a few years and I stumble across the Fresh Lifestyle Salon & Spa in Blackheath, London that uses Aveda products. I’ve never really been a facial type of gal as I honestly couldn’t see any difference afterwards so thought of it as an indulgent treat rather than a monthly necessity.
I looked through their treatments and saw the Outer Peace™ Blemish Relief Facial (£60 for 60mins) - A deep cleansing customised facial for blemished skin that treats both the symptoms and causes to ensure that skin stays clear.

It sounded good so I went for it. My therapist, the lovely Michaela, put in work! I had masques, massages, extractions, steam treatments – the works. It was so good I fell asleep. And snored! (Only once but oh the shame!)
Afterwards my skin felt tingly clean and smoother than it has ever been. She recommended various products via a personalised facial prescription but if I bought them all it would have cost over £200 (eye creams, firming lotions etc) and we’re in a recession! She said if I wanted to see results I should get Enbrightenment™ Correcting Serum and apply it daily. I did and after 6 weeks the scarring was much less prominent. At £38.50 for a 30 ml tube, it isn’t cheap but boy is it worth it!

Spurred on, I looked at my facial prescription and bought two more products, Outer PeaceTM Blemish Relief Pads (50 pads for £20.50) to exfoliate and unplug pores and Outer PeaceTM Foaming Cleanser (125 ml for £16.50) for a deep clean. I use them religiously and go for facials every 3 months to have the kind of clean I can’t do at home.My skin has never looked better, even my Mother said so, and that has never happened!

My skin tone is much more even, my pores smaller, my skin brighter, I could go on! Of course the scarring isn’t completely gone but it is much less noticeable and lets just say, I’ve not bought a new concealer in over 6 months!
