Meet the Founder

Hi, I’m Zalea, your Skin & Acne Specialist, and the founder of SKNWISE Aesthetics. My passion for skincare has been a journey deeply rooted in my own experiences and struggles with skin issues. Growing up, I battled with dry skin, pigmentation problems and body acne that affected my self-confidence and overall well-being. This personal challenge sparked a relentless curiosity within me to understand the intricacies of the skin, its functions, and its profound connection to overall health.

The more I delved into the subject, the more fascinated I became with the anatomy of the skin and its complex interactions with our bodies. My quest for knowledge was driven by a desire to improve my own skin and, in turn, my self-esteem. It wasn't long before this curiosity evolved into a passion—a passion that has since become a significant part of my professional life.

To formalise my knowledge and skills, I pursued a range of qualifications, beginning with an NVQ Level 3 in Beauty Therapy, NVQ Level 4 in Advanced Skin Needling and Chemical Skin Peeling. This rigorous program equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of advanced skin treatments, facial therapies, and the use of sophisticated skincare technologies. My education did not stop there; I continued to accumulate qualifications for all the treatments offered at SKNWISE Aesthetics, ensuring I could provide the highest standard of care to my clients.

At SKNWISE Aesthetics, I specialise in a variety of treatments designed to address different skin concerns. My advanced training allows me to perform treatments such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels, advanced facials, and microneedling, among others. Each treatment is tailored to meet the specific needs of my clients, helping them achieve healthier, more radiant skin.

Education is a cornerstone of my approach. I believe that informed clients are empowered clients. By sharing my knowledge about skincare routines, the benefits of different treatments, and the importance of lifestyle factors, I aim to give my clients the tools they need to take control of their skin health. My ultimate objective is to help them feel more confident and comfortable in their own skin. The joy of seeing someone’s skin transform and witnessing the boost in their confidence is incredibly rewarding. It is this transformation, both physical and emotional, that fuels my passion and commitment to being a skin & acne specialist. My mission is to help others navigate their skincare journeys, offering effective solutions and valuable knowledge to enhance their skin health and overall well-being.

My commitment to providing the highest quality care is reflected in my choice to use only medical-grade treatments at SKNWISE Aesthetics. Medical-grade skincare products are designed to penetrate deeper into the skin, offering more significant and longer-lasting results compared to over-the-counter options. By utilising medical-grade treatments, I can address a wide range of skin concerns more effectively, from severe acne and hyperpigmentation to fine lines and wrinkles. This dedication to using only the best products and technologies ensures that my clients receive the most advanced and reliable skincare solutions available, enhancing their treatment outcomes and overall skin health.

My personal journey with skincare has endowed me with empathy and understanding for those who struggle with skin issues. I know firsthand how frustrating and disheartening it can be to deal with persistent skin problems. This is why my goal is not only to provide effective treatments but also to educate my clients. I want to help people understand their skin, recognise that medication is not the only solution for conditions like severe acne, and appreciate the broader aspects of skin health.

In addition to my extensive qualifications in skincare, I bring a unique perspective to my practice through my academic background. I graduated from university with an undergraduate degree in Psychology and Criminology. This education has provided me with a deep understanding of human behavior, mental health, and the psychological impacts of skin conditions. My studies in psychology have taught me the importance of empathy and effective communication, which I incorporate into my client interactions to ensure they feel heard and understood. The criminology component of my degree has honed my analytical skills, enabling me to assess and address complex skin issues methodically. This multidisciplinary background enriches my approach to skincare, allowing me to support my clients not only in achieving healthy skin but also in enhancing their overall well-being and confidence.
