As I hurtle towards my mid 40s the more I look in the mirror and try to embrace my features. I’m not naive, I understand that lines will appear, volume will be lost and signs of a life well lived will etch itself on my skin.
But I also know I put the work in, I apply the SPF, I eat well, exercise a bit and try not to take my ageing too seriously.
But you know what? Amazing advice from professionals who really understand the process and biology of ageing can go a long way.
And it’s not just the brilliant Dr. Khan at The Harley Street Skin Clinic who educated me on the genetic and environmental influences of my skin issues, it’s the friendliness and kindness of the clinic itself. Yes it’s located on the famous and prestigious Harley Street, yes, it has seen its fair share of famous faces, but the atmosphere is like the warm embrace of a hug!
Upon entering I could just tell this was going to be a first class experience. Being located in the world famous area for the highest quality skin and health care, I knew I’d be in safe hands. What I didn’t expect was to feel a sense of family within the building. I was welcomed with open arms and with such warmth I wanted to kick my shoes off and make myself at home.
At front and centre is director Lesley Reynolds, who chatted to me at length about my life and concerns. I felt immediately safe in her company. There was no snobbery, or patronising – just clear, knowledgable and friendly advice. It was super interesting to be informed on the very latest skin and health technologies and techniques – at the highest level. We would be delving into all aspects of my skin and well-being, to get the very best possible results.
After some face mapping photos I was introduced to Dr. Khan. The depth of care given via information and advice is beyond anything I’ve ever experience at any salon or clinic before. I was surprised to hear I had a case of rosacea! I would be taking a course of antibiotics and a facial cream to reduce redness. Then we will talk more about further treatments – in a later article I will be covering the exciting new treatment called Mesotherapy. It’s pretty amazing stuff, hold the front page!

I’m so pleased to have been giving the opportunity to visit The Harley Street Skin Clinic for all of the reasons above but also because my skin has never looked or felt better since receiving the care and knowledge imparted by the specialists! As you can see from the photos I’ve gone from tired, dull, ageing skin to reviving a sudden glow! And this is from simply following advice, I’m yet to even try any treatments.
If you’re feeling less than your best and want to go down the most trusted, thorough and establish road to better skin and well-being you have to contact The Harley Street Skin Clinic. It’s considered the very best for a reason.
Elite skincare which will change your whole outlook on ageing and health.
