Skin By Anel Lamine

Knowing you can truly trust someone with your skin is such a privilege and Skin by Anel Lamine offers just that. Located in leafy Wimbledon Village, this specialised skin studio was founded by Anel Lamine who combines over 25 years of experience working as a facialist and skin expert - and where everything is about rejuvenation.

The studio space is breezy and calming and home to Anel’s ‘no stone is left unturned’ approach to skincare. Where you are provided with a completely bespoke facial treatment that is uniquely targeted to your skin's needs and concerns. The journey starts with an in-depth consultation, followed by the facial itself where Anel uses powerful products and formulas, finishing with a curated skincare plan to ensure you continue to glow post-treatment. A true end-to-end facial experience and with a level of care that is most certainly PIBE approved.

Here are the customisable facial steps used on us at PIBE as we spent an hour in Anel’s studio.

1. First up, a gentle enzyme cleanse to rid the skin of makeup, dirt and pollution.

2. Next up, a AHA and BHA cleanse. Using these acids to chemically exfoliate the skin's surface and clean out oily clogged pores. It was here that Anel then assessed the skin, looking at spot scarring, pigmentation, texture and hydration levels, all to determine the bespoke elements of the facial.

3. This was followed by an enzyme foam to dissolve dead skin cells without harsh physical scrubbing.

4. Onto sonic pulsation - think of this as a hygienist appointment for your skin. Anel used high-speed devices that emit thousands of sonic pulsations per minute to fully shake dirt and oil loose from pores. All whilst relaxing facial muscles and boosting blood flow.

5. After this skin prep, it was time to bring in the big guns. Firstly, using a glycolic acid peel as a chemical exfoliation to boost cell turnover and stimulate collagen production. Followed by tranexamic acid to help fade dark spots and reduce hyperpigmentation.

6. Skin was then treated to a LED mask, where 15 minutes of red light helps to calm inflammation.

7. Lastly layers of cooling moisturiser were massaged in to really rehydrate the skin. Topped with a creamy SPF to protect.

With rejuvenation being the key here - the results did not disappoint. Skin is left truly clean with a complexion that is uncongested and insanely radiant. Make this your next must-book facial and trust us you will leave addicted to the glow…. and Anel’s expert knowledge.
