Introducing Teen Skincare at Elegance (Ages 13–17)
Walk into any teenager's bathroom right now and you'll likely find a shelf that looks a lot like an adult's: retinol, exfoliating acids, vitamin C serums, sometimes even prescription-strength products picked up online. Most of it didn't come from a dermatologist or a skin consultation. It came from TikTok.
The Problem We Keep Seeing
Social media has become the first stop for skincare advice — and for teenagers, that's a real concern. Skin at 15 is not the same as skin at 30, and a lot of the routines going viral online are built for adult skin that's already tolerant of strong actives. When teenagers start layering those same products onto skin that isn't ready for them, the result is often irritation, sensitivity, a damaged skin barrier, and habits that can cause lasting problems well into adulthood.
We noticed a gap locally: there wasn't a clinic-led, age-appropriate skincare service built specifically with teenagers in mind. So we've created one.
Why We're Doing This
This isn't about maximising treatment sales to a younger audience. It's about intervening early with good information, before harmful habits take hold.
A few things are driving this for us:
Correcting bad advice early. Removing the wrong products and steps from a teenager's routine is often more valuable than adding anything new.
Supporting parents. Parents often know something's off with their teen's routine but aren't sure how to intervene without a fight. We want to give them a resource that does the heavy lifting.
Being a safety-first resource for skin health — not just somewhere to book a treatment.
What Are The Options
The service is built in three ways, depending on what you need:
1. Teen Skin Consultation & Analysis — £15 (30 minutes) A proper skin analysis using our diagnostic equipment, followed by an honest conversation about your teen's current routine — including anything picked up from social media. Our practitioners will give clear guidance on what to stop doing (often the most impactful advice), alongside simple, teen-appropriate product recommendations. You'll also receive a take-home summary, so both teen and parent have something tangible to refer back to.
2. Basic Teen Facial — £45 (40 minutes) A gentle facial built specifically for teenage skin: steam cleanse, extractions only where genuinely needed, and a calming mask and moisturiser suited to what's actually going on with their skin. No aggressive actives, no peels, no resurfacing treatments, and nothing that assumes adult-level skin tolerance.
3. Consultation & Facial Together — £45 For teens who'd rather have everything done in one visit, the consultation and facial can be booked back-to-back on the same day, rather than as two separate appointments.
Safeguarding, Built In
This offering is designed with care from the outset:
Open to teenagers aged 13–17
A parent or guardian must accompany the teen for the entire appointment, whether that's the consultation, the facial, or both
A parent/guardian consent form is required at booking, including medical history and any relevant skin condition disclosures
Every recommendation is filtered specifically for teenage skin — nothing that assumes the tolerance or needs of adult skin
How to Book
You can book the consultation on its own, the facial on its own, or both together in a single visit!
If your teenager has been experimenting with skincare trends from social media, this is a good moment to get some honest, professional guidance before habits set in.
