Founder. Advanced Facialist.
Claire knows skin. With over 30,000 hours of hands-on experience treating everything from sensitive, reactive skin to acne, rosacea, and pigmentation, she’s spent more than two decades working face-to-face with skin — building a reputation based on trust, results, and word of mouth alone.
Her expertise blends scientific knowledge with an instinctive understanding of how skin behaves — insight that only comes from years of working closely with clients. Every face has added to her understanding of how skin responds, adapts, and evolves — beyond what textbooks can teach.
Claire’s approach centres on skin longevity: supporting collagen, strengthening the barrier, and building intelligent routines that work in real life. While her early career included lasers and more invasive devices, her passion has always focused on the daily practices that create lasting change — understanding skin function, ingredient formulation, and the timing of how and when products are used. Less invasive — and focused more on long term sustainability
Claire doesn’t follow trends or brand marketing budgets — she follows the evidence. Every recommendation is backed by clinical understanding, hands-on experience, and extensive product testing. Each one is intentional — chosen because it works.
1997. Her First Job - Crystal Clear Skincare
Rodney Street, Liverpool, United Kingdom
Career & Inspiration
Claire’s interest in skin health began with her own experience managing persistent acne from the age of 14 — an early challenge that led to a lifelong commitment to understanding and treating skin with depth, intention, and honesty.
At 16, she began her career with Crystal Clear Skincare — pioneers of microdermabrasion — working alongside dermatologists, formulators, machine innovators, and advanced therapists. This early foundation shaped Claire’s evidence-led, results-driven philosophy, which continues to guide her work today.
She continually invests in her education, independently testing skincare formulations and professional equipment at her own expense. Every product she recommends — whether in-clinic or online — is approved solely on performance, not sponsorship.

Skin Philosophy
Claire believes that healthy skin is balanced, hydrated, and clear in tone and texture, underpinned by a strong skin barrier and healthy microbiome.
Her treatment philosophy is results-driven, favouring progressive, not aggressive approaches. Claire prioritises prevention and consistency - daily use of SPF, antioxidants, and active ingredients — rather than reliance on invassive and corrective interventions continually. Every client receives a personalised skincare plan designed to build upon the results achieved through in-studio treatments, supporting ongoing improvements in luminosity, texture, and overall skin health.
Claire’s ethos is simple: to work with the skin’s natural processes, not against them - strengthening rather than overstimulating.
