What is Calmer all about?

Calmer Health and Skincare is a combination of my professional interests wrapped into a neat little business that I run in my free time. My not-9-5-time. I aspire to seamlessly encompass a variety of skincare, physical and mental health aspect into this. Calmer is nearly 14 years old (in 2022) and the changes that this business has been through over the years is tremendous. I am constantly learning and adjusting my offerings along with the current market and trends.

Having started out in Fashion and Photographic Makeup in 2001, I branched out to add skincare, hair removal and the full spectrum of beauty and aesthetics qualifications to my repertoire. While I’ve always loved makeup, I have a special interest in both skincare and the relaxation elements of the industry. This has led me to my current business approach in which I focus on relaxation as a way to manage anxiety, improve overall health and thereby, improve the condition of the skin. These things go hand in hand after all.

As a sufferer of anxiety, I feel that including these elements into my offering brings value to my clients as I have tried and tested every gadget and stress tool before offering it. There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to discuss anxiety with someone who has no experience.

The world of skincare is ever-changing, and I spend a great deal of my day whilst at my 9-5 job researching and discovering the latest skin care trends, where they arose from, and whether they are even a good idea to try out in the first place. Not everything you see on Tik Tok is a good idea after all. This gives me a vast array of knowledge to draw from whilst performing skin treatments on my after-hours clients.

A good old-fashioned facial (with new technology products and ingredients) is always a treat to perform and all my clients just love to take an hour out and enjoy the much-needed break from city life whilst getting their glow back. Advanced treatments such as microneedling, diode laser hair removal, non-invasive face lifting treatment and skin peels are growing increasingly popular, and the results are just incredible.

There are some exciting changes coming to Calmer, as I prepare to focus on anxiety, relaxation and fidget aids in my online store. Watch this space, exciting things are coming.
