welcoming living skin skincare
‘Because we believe that caring for the skin is an extension of caring for your health.’ - Living Skin
Living Skin is a true labour of love from the talented team at Little Company, the beautiful skincare haven dedicated to living skin. Little Company’s therapists had seen too much to know that ‘miracle’ products and procedures didn’t exist and focused instead on creating products that support the skin’s natural healing rhythm, while protecting it from the ever-changing environmental stressors and very modern lifestyle we all now lead.
After tens of thousands of facial treatments, immersive conversations around skin with industry professionals, and years of accumulated research, Living Skin was born after listening to the modern realities that their clients experienced. Coming from the space between trusting the power of nature, without being anti-science and offering powerful products that support, whilst steering away from the beauty industries leaning toward ‘trends’ and ‘marketing claims’, valuing instead the principles of returning ‘back to basics’ and your body’s natural rhythms.
Living Skin’s intention isn’t to change the game, instead focusing on quality raw materials, that actually have the properties others claim to have, and the science to back it. A skincare philosophy based in education and an individual approach in support of the skin’s natural healing rhythm, while protecting it from the ever-changing environmental stressors and very modern lifestyle we now lead.
Living Skin is professional-grade supportive skincare and we are proud to partner with them offering their gorgeous products as the final layer in support of glowing skin. Our intention is to support you in finding the products that best work for you, much like we do all other aspects of your health + wellbeing. We encourage you to take the Living Skin Quiz here to find out your Living Skin Condition and refer to the Skin Compatibility Matrix for each product. Please also reach out with any questions or to have a complimentary skin consult with Trish.
Living Skin have developed 5 in-depth Living Skin Conditions to classify and treat the skin.
-
adaptive
Adaptive skin is as the name suggests; resilient, balanced, and responding well to products. This skin type has no major concerns but looks to be maintained and supported through a consistent skincare ritual.
-
environmental reactive
Environmental Reactive skin is that which is affected by an external element. This may include pigmentation from sun exposure, dullness from sluggish skin congestion from products like sunscreen and heavy makeup, as well as skin impacted by working inside under air conditioning. Our main aim with treating an Environmentally Reactive skin is to brighten and detoxify.
-
stress reactive
Stressed skin is often sensitive and reactive to most products. Internally related skin conditions such as rosacea, eczema, and psoriasis, are often activated/ enflamed by environmental and emotional stressors. The main aim when treating Stress Reactive skin is to strengthen, calm and support our skin’s barrier.
-
hormone reactive
Hormone Reactive skin can be a concern at any age. Our hormones can dictate how much oil our skin produces - if our hormones are imbalanced, this most commonly results in inflamed and congested skin. Hormonal conditions such as PCOS, Endometriosis, Menopause, as well as the effects of taking the oral contraceptive pill, can all contribute to a Hormone Reactive skin. The main aim when treating Hormonal Reactive skin is to holistically support its oil regulation and moisture balance.
-
ageing well
We favor the term ‘Ageing well’ over ‘Anti ageing’ - so heavily marketed to us. We understand that ageing is a natural part of life, and we embrace the experience it brings. In supporting a maturing skin, we treat with the aim of nourishing, repairing, increasing skin cell turnover, brightening, and naturally stimulating collagen and elastin.
