Testimonials

Caroline has been doing my facials for a number of years now ... been great at helping me through times when stress, lifestyle and hormones plus lots of dehydration due to travel and sun exposure have put my skin under duress... I don’t naturally stick to a discipline!
She’s found products for me which suit my skin and lifestyle .... the sun protection ranges she stocks are fabulous and I wouldn’t be without them....
Love her facials ... she’s a great listener and calming influence when I arrive back from trips... and I leave feeling refreshed and skin glowing.

I have been unbelievably fortunate, to have my skin cared for by Caroline, over the past 30 years. Her gentle and holistic treatments can belie their rigorous efficacy, they are based on good science and a vast personal knowledge. Caroline’s facials truly work and they are practiced in a beautifully fragrant and caring environment. 

From Faith

 

I have been going to Caroline Doré for over ten years she is the most wonderful skin therapist with what I consider to be a unique approach to all things skin.

Caroline has a breadth of knowledge second to none but her particular expertise is tailoring each treatment to obtain the best results for that individual. On every occasion I have been to see Caroline (very frequently) she has always reviewed my skin and adapted the treatment to what she feels is required for me at that moment in time.

Caroline is caring and compassionate and has a particular gift in the way she handles one’s skin. A treatment from Caroline is a tonic in every possible way.

From Pamela

I have been a client of Caroline’s since 1999. 

She has looked after my sensitive skin and given me advice on skincare and make up. I look forward to my visits as I know I will come home feeling rejuvenated. 

Caroline is an exceptional beauty therapist who gives so much more than a facial and her skincare products are carefully chosen to suit each individual.

From Jems

 

My son had typically difficult teenage skin, and it was contributing significantly to his anxiety. I persuaded him to come along and see Caroline, and she quickly helped put him at ease before assessing his skin and recommending some specific products and techniques to help him. Caroline’s friendly and professional manner is absolutely wonderful, and my son has continued to go back and see her at regular intervals. They discuss his products, how his skin is doing, and any changes that might be useful. He has complete confidence in her, as his skin has got better and better. This has helped his overall anxiety and has given him a great basis for healthy skin care in the future.
