This is a subtitle for your new post

Hello to my lovely Skin Cabin Community 🫶🏻

I hope all is well for you and your families and no doubt, like me, so happy to be feeling an inch of hope that spring feels in the air and the warmer, brighter spells are soon around the corner…

I have been loving the extra light, day by day, and how much brighter it make us feel. The sun has been creaping through the blinds in the treatment room more and more and it feels sooooo good!!

It’s been a busy spell since I last wrote to you; the winter, cosy season was so busy for treatments and my voucher-making skills ramped up a notch in December when so many of you bought/received vouchers for/from loved ones. It’s been so gorgeous welcoming new clients into my little skin cabin world too and providing space for well needed moments of escape, nurture, comfort and deep relaxation for you all.

The changes of seasons are gorgeous and our skin, and our minds, and lifestyles too, so cleverly and quite naturally adapt with the shifts but we certainly can feel and be more reactive to the contrasting conditions.

From the winter season we’ve had, our skin has faced the cold winds, the damp air, the drying heat indoors, warmer drinks and foods we have nourished our bodies with and the soaking of warmer water when bathing and cleansing. That, coupled with the slower pace I love to describe as ‘hibernation mode’ our bodies have craved and hopefully gently adopted, can pose some changes to our skin during the season.

As a result, and what I’ve experienced working with many of you in the treatment room over the last couple of months, is that quite often the skin can present a slower cell turnover and dehydration can be a little more present, leading to surface congestion, blackheads, a tighter feeling to the skin but with unexpected shine, an uneven texture and many feeling the skin is looking fatigued or dull. It can feel the effects of a more sluggish flow of circulation too, resulting in a lack of luminosity and glow, or stagnation beneath the skin’s surface leading to breakouts, or puffiness and fluid retention being more present. Heightened sensitivity has also been prevalent with additional heat and inflammation encountered within the skin, plus dry, flaky patches or the skin feeling delicate and sensitive to touch.

The skin truly is a wonderful and intricate organ and I have ultimate respect on how it works. My approach is all about supporting its incredible functions and processes and I’ve found over the years, it really is about working in true harmony with it which will always lead to the best, natural results. It’s been wonderful to support you and your skin throughout this last season through hands on work, integrative massage techniques and technology, and carefully selecting the very best ingredients and skincare during your treatment as well as at home, to soothe, hydrate, brighten, balance and nourish your skin.

The good news is that brighter days are coming and our skin will be thankful for that too! The change of seasons is an ideal time for a skin reset, and remember, I take the guess work out of choosing the right facial for you. Book in for The Bespoke and once we’ve chatted thorough your skin goals, your current skincare, lifestyle, diet and more, I will take a good look at your skin and plan exactly what you need to get it at its happiest and healthiest yet.

If your skin, mind and body are feeling in need of a good spring reset, have a browse the menu and get a treatment secured in the diary ✨

Super excited to share this upcoming event with you as I know it’s been one that many of you have been keen to attend! Step into an evening of calm, connection, and conscious self-care, created especially for teens and parents. This beautifully curated wellbeing experience invites you to slow down and enjoy restorative rituals together — from guided stress-relief techniques and gentle, flowing stretches to an interactive hydration and sensory experience where you’ll craft your own nourishing cordials and essential oil blends. You’ll also be guided through a cleanse-along skincare ritual before settling into a deeply relaxing sound bath.

Thursday 23rd April 2026 | 7-8.30pm | £50 per person | Horse Shoe Barn, Bexley.

Minimum age is 10, and children must be accompanied by their parent/guardian. One ticket equates to one person. Non Refundable. Do get in touch if you’d like to reserve your spaces.

Series 2 of our Sunset Sessions at Horse Shoe Barn started back up in November and January which went beautifully, and it was wonderful to see many of you there- it’s been such a pleasure to team up with the super talented Pilates and Wellness Expert ByLucy- the evenings were packed full of soothing, sleeping vibes and restorative practises- guided facial sequences, sound bath, breath work, massage and so much more. Our next session in March is SOLD OUT already but if you fancy joining a future one, here are the dates for the next ones and it would be amazing to have you there | May 14th 2026 | July 9th 2026 | Get in touch to book ✨

The winter season has kept me busy also with plenty of dreamy Muscle Melt Massages and Pregnancy Soothers. Nothing quite beats escaping the cold, getting tucked up into a warm, cozy bed and having your muscles soothed and tension melted away. I had a client recently who hadn’t had a massage in years and was treated to a gorgeous voucher for Christmas and after her treatment said that she had been planning to join the gym at the start of the year and instead she’s treating herself to monthly massages; she felt such benefit emotionally and physically. Massage not only helps to soothe tired, achy muscles but it really is amazing for boosting circulation, soothing your nervous system whilst bringing a sense of balance and calm.

The much-loved invigorating Legs Recharge will be back in full swing as the weather turns warmer and our legs are back out! A super popular treatment last summer… If you haven’t yet tried it, in a nutshell, it’s an invigorating hips to toes treatment with a rich blend of hands-on methods to actively stimulate the lymphatic and blood circulation, whilst smoothing and nourishing the skin, ironing out pockets of tension, resulting in the ultimate leg sculpting boost-think exfoliation, dry brushing, hot stone and sculpting massage plus lymphatic drainage via vacuum suction. Get in touch if you’d like to book in to get your legs in tiptop condition before a special occasion, your planned holiday or just for the spring/summer season ahead.

Since launching Skin Rocks at The Skin Cabin in September, it has been going down brilliantly into your skin treatments, with amazing feedback and visible results post facial along with elements of it seamlessly being added into your skincare routines at home for elevated results. It really has worked so well in harmony with iconic British skincare brand Liz Earle. It is a science-driven brand and the culmination of industry expertise by founder, world-renowned and trusted skincare expert and facialist, Caroline Hirons. Every formula across the Skin Rocks range has been developed with industry-leading labs and cosmetic scientists to ensure that the best active ingredients are used-there is no budget! Clinical testing to substantiate the efficacy and claims of every single active product is prioritised along with rigorous consumer testing- a brand with knowledge that’s vast, guidance that’s clear and products that work.

The ethos of both ranges totally resonate with my commitment to treating skin; working in absolute harmony with it, keeping it super simple with the best ingredients and formulations that deliver long-term benefits over quick fixes.

From glow-boosting hydration to balancing breakouts, strengthening your skin barrier, fading hyperpigmentation, or restoring youthfulness, the range really delivers!

If you’re yet to try Skin Rocks and keen to, just let me know at your next facial appointment and I can weave it in along with all the other Skin Cabin techniques and technology that you and your skin love.

And, on a final note, I am super happy to share that the annual March mini-retreat with Daphné is back in the diary for this month! Join Daphné and I on Friday evening March 13th, 2026, at 19.30 for this nurturing mini-retreat designed to promote an atmosphere of self-love and care—a well-deserved rest leaving you with a profound sense of peacefulness and renewal.

We will start our session with a meditation whilst indulging in a cocooning and soothing cleansing facial massage; mindfully cleansing the day away and preparing our body and mind for the ultimate wind down experience.

We will follow with a gentle flowing Yin & restorative yoga practice whilst being taken on a sensorial journey with a hand selection of calming, heart-strengthening essential oils to enhance the total experience.

To close our session, you’ll be wrapped in cosy blankets, and eased into a well-deserved replenishing rest with a deeply relaxing Yoga Nidra and healing sound vibrations of a sound bath whilst experiencing a face, head, and neck acupressure release to soothe away the last pockets of tension—

An offering of stillness.
A ritual of self-love.
A perfect treat to your special weekend — grounded, replenished, and quietly radiant.

ALL ABILITIES WELCOME. LIMITED PLACES.
£40/PERSON + A Complementary Herbal tea at the end of the session.

They’ve always been really popular in previous years and it is honestly such a joy to team up with Daphné to offer these deeply relaxing evenings!

Daphné is an incredibly talented yoga teacher, and I have enjoyed attending her classes over the last 6 years and as many of you will know, I’ve recommended her to lots of you too! Her beautiful studio is nestled at the end of her garden, based just outside of Bexley Village, which instantly provides that complete shoulder-drop moment as soon as you step inside, bliss!

Please get in touch to check availability. Your place will be reserved once the booking payment has been received.

Think that’s all the news for now, so to close, I wish you and your loved ones a happy spring time ahead and look forward to seeing and treating you soon!

With lots of love,

Karen x

The Skincare Toolkit has expanded | Tweens & Teens Skin Support | Sunset Sessions at HSB

By Karen Bevan-Brown • September 28, 2025

Hello to my lovely Skin Cabin Community! I hope all is well and that you and your families are easing into the new season and routines again after the lovely summer… It certainly does feel like Autumn is here, and the cosy nights and cooler weather are upon us- I must say I do quite love this time of the year and it really does give us the perfect excuse to hibernate a little and soak up the simple comforts and pleasures at home! Same goes for the treatment room- the heated bed is back on, candles lit and the weighted blanket and duvet are at the ready to cocoon during your treatment sessions! The focus for skin treatments during this season is often around gently sloughing away unwanted surface skin cells to reveal a smoother complexion whilst adding nourishment and locking in moisture to the skin to visibly plump and soften the appearance of fine and deeper lines; all to bring a natural luminosity and glow, inside and out. The epidermis can thicken slightly as a result of more exposure to sun over the last season leading to more congestion, dullness or an uneven texture to the skin’s surface. Skin dehydration can also be more prevalent due to heating at home, work and in cars, plus the cooler weather encourages our desire to often use slightly warmer water on our skin during showers, baths and our face washing rituals which can be quite stripping. Often slight tweaks to the routine following a ‘light layering’ approach to the skin with the addition of a tonic, essence, serum, or plant oil can work brilliantly to tackle this, along with nurturing facial massage techniques, gentle resurfacing treatments and vacuum suction for lymphatic drainage- all methods that work in complete synergy with the skin whilst supporting all the underlying systems of the face that contribute to our skin health and appearance. If your skin is feeling in need of a good surge of hydration, a decongest and/or a mini workout for ultimate glow, browse the menu and get a facial secured in the diary. So happy to share the latest to the menu which is the Tween and Teen Bespoke Skin Session. It is a completely bespoke and fully interactive, hands-on session guiding your loved one into a tailored, simple and effective skincare routine to support clear, balanced and healthy skin throughout this chapter of adolescence. This is a subject I feel very passionate about when the market is saturated with enticing skincare and pretty packaging with lavish price tags for our tweens and teens. This is a personal session which is underpinned by my qualified knowledge on skin, ingredients and treatments that are safe and effective for this age group with unbiased and science-backed advice. It is geared for those wishing to start out in skincare, reset or fine tune their routine, from ages 11-16, with the consent and in the presence of a parent or guardian. The session includes a detailed lifestyle and skin consultation to gain a fully holistic view, an advanced skin analysis and tutorial style workshop to learn the fundamentals on skincare application as well as experiencing a skin and age-appropriate, introductory facial. If you have someone you think would love this one-to one session, do get in touch to book or opt for a voucher to make a perfect gift. Our first ever series of Sunset Sessions at Horse Shoe Barn went beautifully, and it was wonderful to see many of you there- it’s been a pleasure to team up with Pilates and Wellness Expert Lucy Merriman at bylucy- the evenings were packed full of soothing, sleeping vibes and restorative practises- guided facial sequences, sound bath, breath work, massage and so much more. I’m really pleased to share the dates for our second series if you fancy joining; 27th November 2025 | 22nd January 2026 | 19th March 2026 - It would be amazing to have you there. Drop me a note to book on. Last but no means least, my facial toolkit has just got a whole lot bigger and I’ve officially taken on a second skincare range to continue building your best skin yet. Alongside the beautiful and iconic Liz Earle range, that I continue to adore and have worked with for almost 20 years, powered by bio-fusion formulas that work in total harmony with your skin’s natural balance, I’ve been busy researching, trialling and exploring an array of other brilliant brands that align with my skin health and wellness mission to add to the repertoire... And now for the drum roll please….Introducing Skin Rocks! Skin Rocks is a science-driven brand and the culmination of industry expertise by founder, world-renowned and trusted skincare expert and facialist, Caroline Hirons. Every formula across the Skin Rocks range has been developed with industry leading labs and cosmetic scientists to ensure that the best active ingredients are used-there is no budget! Clinical testing to substantiate the efficacy and claims of every single active product is prioritised along with rigorous consumer testing- a brand with knowledge that’s vast, guidance that’s clear and products that work. The ethos of the range totally resonates with my commitment to treating skin; working in absolute harmony with it, keeping it super simple with the best ingredients and formulations that deliver long-term benefits over quick fixes. I have been using the range on my own skin alongside Liz Earle for some time now and for many of you over the last year or so, I have been recommending elements of the range to weave into your routines. As you know, I will always give you unbiased advice when it comes to skincare. I never believe in overwhelming it or using things unnecessarily. I’m extremely picky when it comes to skincare and brands as I need the products to work for every skin type and condition, and to tackle every skin goal, so taking on a whole extra range feels a huge deal and big chapter for The Skin Cabin. I am super excited to start sharing the magic of this skincare range with you too!! From glow-boosting hydration to balancing breakouts, strengthening your skin barrier, fading hyperpigmentation, or restoring youthfulness, the range really delivers! If you’re keen to try Skin Rocks in your next facial, just let me know and I can weave it in along with all the other Skin Cabin techniques and technology that you and your skin love, or equally, if you just love your existing facials with me, using predominantly Liz Earle, then this continues to be a firm offering in the toolkit! Think that’s all the news for now, so to close, I wish you and your loved ones a cosy Autumn ahead and hope to see and treat you soon! With lots of love, Karen x

Diary open to end of the year | Upcoming Day Retreat | Maintaining the glow

By Karen Bevan-Brown • August 2, 2025

Hello lovely friends, Well here we are, into August! I hope you’ve been having a gorgeous summer time! I have loved seeing so many of you over the last few months and hearing about the lovely plans you’ve had in store. It’s also been wonderful to welcome into the treatment room so many new clients too-I always feel so honoured that you put your trust into me for treating your skin, body and mind through the art of natural therapy. The messages and reviews you so kindly send me after your treatments really do mean the world, so a huge, huge thank you! I love treating you all. New to The Skin Cabin community and want to learn about the ethos behind my facials? I always recommend The Bespoke 90 minutes Facial as your initial treatment. My intention for every facial is to really understand your skin, your lifestyle, your diet, your health and your current skincare plan and of course, most importantly, your skin goals. There are so many factors that influence the condition and appearance of our skin and so getting a real 360 view helps to create a perfect plan for our journey to achieving optimum skin health. For the last 20 years of treating, I have always championed working in harmony with it; preserving and protecting the skin’s natural barrier, which is absolutely vital for skin balance. I love researching and cherry-picking the most sophisticated skincare blends and formulations, technologies and time-tested methodologies to use in my treatments and for your skin. All that are safe, non-invasive and work in total synergy with the skin whilst delivering positive results. On top of that, my focus within every treatment experience is to support the regulation of your nervous system, for you to feel fully nurtured and looked after, whilst tightness and tension are eased in every corner of your body. When we feel relaxed and soothed, there is no doubt (and something that I see first-hand!) that we glow, naturally, from the inside out. Looking ahead, and although each facial is totally bespoke, the post-summer facials will often feature thorough deep cleansing techniques such as mild steaming and extractions and using gentle resurfacing peels. The layers of SPF application, extra perspiration and additional dead skin cells that develop on the surface of our skin over the summer (the clever mechanism that happens to protect our skin with more sun exposure than normal) can bring about more congestion within our pores and an uneven texture leading to a dull tone. Also our skin can feel more tight, dry and dehydrated from long-haul flights, exposure to more air conditioning, excess perspiration and high humidity climates so replenishing the skin with effective hydration and integrative massage techniques helps to instantly rejuvenate the skin, support skin plumpness and soften the appearance of fine and deeper lines. The NEW Legs Recharge treatment has been SO popular, and although I originally planned it to be an exclusive for the summer months, many of you have been keen to continue to have this over the winter months so it will be staying on the menu due to popular demand! If you haven’t yet tried it, in a nutshell, it’s an invigorating hips to toes treatment with a dreamy blend of hands-on methods to actively stimulate the lymphatic and blood circulation, whilst smoothing and nourishing the skin, ironing out pockets of tension, resulting in the ultimate leg sculpting boost-think exfoliation, dry brushing, hot stone and sculpting massage plus lymphatic drainage via vacuum suction.. It’s been a busy one outside of the treatment room since May too, where I teamed up with the wonderful Lucy from bylucy to offer our first series of Sunset Sessions at the beautiful Horse Shoe Barn- evenings packed full of soothing, sleeping vibes and restorative practises- guided facial sequences, sound bath, breath work, massage and so much more. Our next one is Thursday 18th September which is now SOLD OUT, but if you were keen to join on but didn’t book in time, just drop me a note and I’ll make sure to add you to the waiting list in case any changes happen and a last minute slot becomes available.. In July we also hosted our first full day retreat; ‘Energise and Glow’, which was a day blended with all kinds of beautiful sensorial experiences from Movement, Massage, Nourishment, Fresh Air and a Sound Bath session. It was a gorgeous day and so am super happy to share that we have secured a date for our next retreat ‘Nourish and Nurture’ which is on Sunday 28th September - Expect a loose scheduled day where no rushing is required. You’ll breeze from activity to quiet exploration time. A day to release any held tension and ease into relaxation. Make new friends and have a giggle over shared experiences. Whether you arrive feeling stressed or relaxed, the retreat we have planned will leave you feeling calm, more connected and at peace… Arrival: 10:15am 10:30am: Restorative Pilates- no previous experience needed 11:30am: Deeply nourishing Facial Self-Massage 12:15pm: Refreshments, snacks and time to explore or relax 1:00pm: Breathwork, Sound bath and Upper Body Release session 2:45pm: Two course meal with water (Additional drinks can be purchased from the bar) 4:30pm: Homeward Bound £160 pp (non-refundable, unless we have someone on the waitlist who can replace you) For those that are so much more organised than me who love to book your treatments well in advance, I’m pleased to say that the treatment diary is now open until Christmas so feel free to book your sessions in from October onwards too now! As always, if you have any difficulty finding the slot you would like, just drop me a note! To close, wishing you and your loved ones a great rest of the summer and hope to see and treat you very soon! With lots of love, Karen xx

It has also been wonderful to see many of you who joined the dreamy Restore | Relax | Renew evening retreats at Daphné’s Live Well Yoga garden studio- I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did and keep a look out as there will be more to come in the future!

Spring may just be around the corner!

By Karen Bevan-Brown • February 26, 2025

Dear friends, I hope this finds you well and sharing with me that positive feeling that Spring may just be around the corner! I love this time of the year- witnessing the tulips and daffodils starting to pop through the soil and the days starting to feel a little longer and brighter!

The Skin Cabin #2 opens!

August 14, 2024

Dear friends, I hope this finds you well and having a lovely summer! I wanted to get in touch to give you a little update as I FINALLY have some exciting treatment news!! Since moving home from Wilmington to Joydens Wood back in 2022 I have missed having my own treatment space so much and connecting with and treating you, my lovely clients and friends, as much as I’d been able to previously… It’s been a busy couple of years developing our home and during this period continuing my role in Skin and Treatment Education at Liz Earle too. My kiddies are growing so fast as well -now 10 and 7 and I’m feeling like I just want time to slow down although I love how in the world of treatments, that really is the magic! I’ve so enjoyed connecting with as many of you as possible at the temporary location at the Pilates Studio in Bexley and I’ve been so grateful I’ve been able to have my little ‘pop up’ there, however I have news!! The Skin Cabin #2 is all ready and waiting for you and what a dream come true it feels! A slight twist to the cabin as my new space is a studio attached to our home, set in the heart of Joydens Wood. Created from scratch, I’ve been able to cherry-pick every detail to ensure it oozes a calm, nurturing, and soothing vibe- the perfect escape from our busy lives to restore, recharge and reset through the power of touch. Treatments are available to start booking now for September onwards- do click on the ‘Treatments’ tab to view my treatment menu. Feel free to send me a note for any more information or to simply say hello or if you need help or advice on choosing the best treatment/s to suit what you really need. Bookings can be made* by phone/WhatsApp on 07740 368588 or by email karen@theskincabin.com . You may notice there’s a newbie on the menu too! I qualified in Rejuvology back in June and have been busy practising the treatment on friends and family in preparation for its launch in September and have fallen in love with the treatment. Rejuvology is a physical and holistic method of facial rejuvenation that integrates various disciplines to revitalise both your face and your emotional well-being. Totally different to a traditional facial, the treatment is all hands-on with little product integration, but combines ancient and modern techniques that are drawn from lymphatic drainage, myo-fascia release, cranial sacral work and acupressure. In combination, this natural face rejuvenation treatment effectively restores skin suppleness, promoting freedom and elasticity in the connective tissue of the face as well as engaging muscles, fascia and the lymphatic system to bring about vibrancy to the skin. Not only skin-specific results for facial contour revival but Rejuvology’s therapeutic touch soothes the nervous system to support emotional well-being too! And finally, I have stocked up on Treatment Gift Vouchers so if you’re looking to treat a loved one, do get in touch and I can get one prepared for you! You can pick either the voucher being of monetary value if you’re not sure which treatment to go for or you can select a specific treatment to be written on the voucher-you decide! It will be so special to welcome you into my new treatment space, and in the meantime, sending lots of love and best wishes to you all for a wonderful rest of the summer! Hope to see you soon… Karen x *To secure a slot, a deposit of £20 will be required on booking which will be redeemable against your treatment. I know life doesn’t always run smoothly and so if you do need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, I do require at least 24 hours notice, your deposit will be put towards a new booking. I regret that I cannot refund deposits for treatments missed or where less than 24 hours notice is received.

The skin cabin pop up

By Karen Bevan-Brown • August 31, 2022

An update from me. Starting in the Autumn, I will be working from the gorgeous Pilates Body Studio in the heart of Bexley Village offering my Skin Cabin Wellness Facials and Bespoke Massage experiences as a ‘Pop Up’…before The Skin Cabin #2 evolution is underway at our new home/garden.

A little update from me

I really hope this finds you keeping well and enjoying the gradual movement to lighter restrictions, sunnier weather and having the much needed face to face connections again with family and friends...

Keeping Everyone Safe At The Skin Cabin

Ahead of treatments reopening in the cabin, I just wanted to share with you the safety and Covid-Secure measures I have in place; which have certainly become completely normal practice since the first return back to treatments in July last year.

Tackling and Treating Milia

March 15, 2021

I wanted to share a little on Milia; what they are, how to prevent them, how to soften them at home and also a few techniques I use in treatment to help get rid of them! Milia are those little white pearly bumps that can appear on the surface of your skin. It is a really popular skin query I get in the cabin, for help and advice on, and something I definitely can be prone to; mainly down to having a naturally drier skin type myself.
