A Family Affair – Fuelled by Love
A Family Affair – Fuelled by Love (and Labels)
Bare Skin Essentials isn’t just a skincare brand—it’s a family legacy, lovingly hand-labeled and built around the kitchen table (sometimes over dinner... sometimes instead of dinner).
Without the incredible support of my husband, this dream would never have made it off the ground. From late-night chats to marathon labeling sessions in front of the TV, he’s been my steady rock and silent sidekick—always there, sticker in hand and smile on face (most of the time).
My daughter Jazmin is the digital wizard behind the screen—keeping the tech ticking, the website glowing, and me from throwing my laptop out the window. And let’s not forget my beautiful son James and daughter-in-law Elizabeth, my son-in-law Luke and stepdaughter Izzy—who’ve all come for a casual feed and ended up on the Bare Skin Essentials conveyor belt, labeling, bottling, packing, and laughing their way through it.
This brand isn’t just made with natural ingredients—it’s made with heart, humour, and a whole lot of family teamwork.
Why?
Why the Hell I Started a Skincare Brand at 50
Because my skin—and probably yours too—decided to go rogue. One minute you're glowing, the next you're dealing with hormonal chin breakouts, dry patches that pop up outta nowhere, and a sudden hatred for half the products you've been using for years. Sound familiar? Yeah, same.
With 30+ years of beauty therapy under my belt, a treatment room full of fabulous women, and a fire in my belly (and occasionally in my face—thanks peri-meno), I knew it was time to bottle up everything I’ve learned and launch a range that actually gets us.
Bare Skin Essentials is for the woman who’s juggling hot flushes and self-care, who wants to glow without 47 steps, and who’s not here for the fluff or the filters. It’s skincare that works, smells divine, and makes you feel like the goddess you forgot you were while standing in the kitchen wondering why you walked in there.
But this isn’t just about great skin—it’s about education, empowerment, and telling peri/menopause to shove it while we glow anyway. I’m here to help women understand what their skin needs now—not what it needed in their 20s. I want every woman who uses these products to feel seen, supported, and a little bit sassy.
Because real skin doesn’t retire. And neither do we.
no BS, hot AF
My goal? To help you glow naturally, live boldly, and fall in love with your bare skin again.
