Summer greetings from The Skin Cabin

June 1, 2026

Hello lovely friends 🫶🏻

I hope all is well for you and your families and you’ve been enjoying the good weather we’ve had! The pots and hanging baskets are in full bloom in the garden now and the hydrangeas are just starting to show colour-the little things in life really do bring such joy don’t they?!

It’s been so good to see and treat so many familiar faces recently and also welcome new clients into the treatment room. I honestly couldn’t be more grateful for the lovely clients you all are. Trusting me with your skin and allowing me to help you deeply relax and sink into restorative peace whilst tending to your skin or muscular needs feels such a privilege.

Pre and post holiday facials plus preparation for weddings and special events have definitely been the common theme of late and I love hearing about the lovely plans you all have in the diary. The inner confidence we gain when our skin looks and feels happy, hydrated and glowing is pretty something and what a honour it always feels to help you achieve just that.

I’ve been asked a lot lately whether it is best to have a facial before your holiday or afterwards and there isn’t really one answer!! Booking one before you go away is excellent to get the pores really clear, the texture smooth and even and hydration levels ramped up. This gears your skin up for the heightened sun exposure you might be having, the extra sun creams applied and additional perspiration, being on flights and everything in between; all factors that can massively effect our skin and throw it slightly off balance.
But equally, you can’t beat a great facial after you’ve been away to decongest, brighten and resurface the skin to prolong the summer glow when you’re back!

As always, let me take the guess work out of choosing which facial is right for you and opt for The Bespoke Facial. I’ll cherry pick the best ingredients, technologies and hands-on methods for your session to achieve your skin goals. Click the treatments tab to access the menu and get a treatment secured in the diary ✨

TOP TIPS FOR KEEPING SKIN HAPPY THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER

1. Make sure to use an SPF 50 daily, and reapply regularly. Wear big sunnies and a hat too!

2. Double cleanse at night when you’ve been out and about lots, exercising, wearing plenty of SPF etc. Go for a cream, oil or balm based cleanser to remove every trace of debris for your first cleanse and then follow with a cream, milk or gel formula to really treat the skin during the second cleanse. Enjoy a great flannel or exfoliating cloth to accompany your cleanser and allow it to really work its magic!

3. Have a hydrating tonic/spritz in your handbag and use regularly to rehydrate and refresh your skin during the day when it feels thirty or tight.

4. Weave in some cold therapy when you have some time. Using a cooling guasha or crystal roller can be a fab way to reduce temperature in your skin and soothe it. Also popping damp cotton pads, cotton cloths and even your liquid skincare in the fridge and then enjoy a refreshing blast of hydration during your skincare ritual.

5. Keep exfoliating in the summer months, but avoid too much in the way of abrasive formulations and instead opt for liquid exfoliators that are highly effective but will help to keep the skin conditioned too. Exfoliate at night and then make sure to protect the skin even more than normal, the following few days, when new healthy skin cells are more exposed.

I’ll be open throughout the summer holidays but with some weeks slightly more limited. Keep an eye on the diary as I shall open up a few extra ‘gold-dust’ evening slots too so you can have a dreamy twilight session, then slip out of the treatment bed, float home and head straight to bed for the most restful night sleep ever!

Now for a few events that are coming up, outside of the treatment room, if you fancy a really relaxed few hours or even a full day to help you slow down, be cared for, rest and reconnect with yourself. This may be just what you need- come alone or with special friends- everyone is welcome 🤍

FRIDAY, JUNE 26TH | 19:30-21:30 | LIMITED SPACES

In collaboration with my dear friend and Yogi Pro Daphné at livewellyoga set in her beautiful cabin at the end of her garden, just outside of Bexley Village.

We invite you to join us for a nourishing evening dedicated to reconnecting with your roots—through your feet. Often overlooked, our feet are our foundation. They carry us through life, connect us to the earth beneath us, and influence our balance, posture, and overall wellbeing. This Summer Solstice, we'll explore how caring for our feet can help us feel more stable, centred, and supported both physically and emotionally.

This special Summer Solstice workshop will restore your skin, body and mind through the art of gentle movement, a guided energising self-cleansing facial massage sequence, foot and ankle mobility practice, sound healing, and a deeply relaxing foot massage. Together we'll awaken the body from the feet up, refresh the mind, and then gradually settle into a state of calm, helping you feel both revitalised and deeply rested.

As you rest in the soothing sounds of the sound bath, you'll receive a nurturing foot massage, designed to leave you feeling grounded, restored, and completely cared for. A beautiful opportunity to honour your foundation, reconnect with the earth beneath you, and step into summer feeling lighter, steadier, and renewed.

ALL ABILITIES WELCOME. LIMITED PLACES.

£35/PERSON + A Complementary refreshing lemonade at the end of the session.

Please drop me a note to book your place.

BOOK ME ON

It’s been a celebratory month 🥂 as I got the news a few weeks back that I’ve been selected as a Semi-Finalist in the Facialist 2026 Category for the BABTAC and CIBTAC Annual awards. A dream come true! BABTAC and CIBTAC have been a huge part of my career journey from becoming a member soon after qualifying over 20 years ago and being the absolute go-to contact for keeping connected and up to date with beauty regulations, standards, quality and education. It feels a real honour to have been selected and to be amongst such talent in the category and industry. As you know, I truly love what I do and to have you all as my clients feels the biggest award anyway! I am up against a judging panel next week to demonstrate a facial so have everything crossed that goes ok, and will keep you posted if I get through to the next round!!

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

With lots of love,

Nourishing Wellness Treatments for Skin, Body & Mind | Sunset Sessions | The Gentle Reset and More

By Karen Bevan-Brown • March 13, 2026

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 ma

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

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.

The weekend slots that I’ll be offering are: Saturday 3rd September 2022 9-5pm -FULLY BOOKED Sunday 4th September 2022 9-5pm -FULLY BOOKED Saturday 22nd October 2022 9-5pm -FULLY BOOKED Sunday 23rd October 2022 9-5pm -FULLY BOOKED Saturday 19th November 2022 9-5pm -FULLY BOOKED Sunday 20th November 2022 9-5pm -FULLY BOOKED Saturday 17th December 2022 9-5pm -FULLY BOOKED Sunday 18th December 2022 9-5pm -FULLY BOOKED Sunday 22nd January 2023 FULLY BOOKED Sunday 29th January 2023 FULLY BOOKED Sunday 19th February 2023 FULLY BOOKED Sunday 26th February 2023 FULLY BOOKED Sunday 5th March 2023 FULLY BOOKED Sunday 12th March 2023 FULLY BOOKED I really hope to see you soon!
