From Fashion to Facials


Whilst working as a fashion stylist, Justine suddenly started to experience hot flushes, exhaustion, acne and felt that her skin had aged overnight. As she was in her late forties she realised that it could be the start of the peri-menopause. Her research into the possible effects it could have on her body and skin lead her to try and find a menopausal skin expert who could advise and treat all the conditions that she was experiencing. When she was unable to find anyone she decided to take matters into her own (healing) hands and begun to train as a holistic facialist. Her very unique approach - looking inwards to treat external problems and seeking out the root causes of skin conditions - sets her apart from all other facialists and makes her a truly unique practitioner.

Determined to champion skin health and pro-aging as a skin therapist and healer, Justine set up as The Alternative Facialist. Through years of client consultations and personal experience, Justine noticed that often skin complaints were caused from imbalances within the body and mind, and treatment protocols needed to be individualised. So, “Great skin starts from within” became the guiding principle of Justine’s holistic approach.

Justine is on a daily quest for new information. Constantly learning and trialling in order to bring you the very best in knowledge, technique and product. All treatments begin with an expert consult to customise the treatment plan which always comprises of external and internal therapeutic solutions. Then a protocol is provided at the end of treatment which educates clients on what works best for their unique skin type so that optimal skin health is achieved and sustained. 

What transpires is a thing of beauty – confident, glowing, transformed skin – at any age or stage.
