We are pleased to offer Skin Camouflage Consultations with Michelle McKenzie, a trained and accredited therapist with the British Association of Skin Camouflage.
Michelle teaches clients how to apply professional camouflage make-up to conceal features including scars, birthmarks, port-wine stains, vitiligo, acne marks, non-infectious skin conditions (dermatoses) and tattoos. During a one-to-one consultation, Michelle will use her expertise to select suitable products and then teach you how to apply them.
From shy girl to prom queen
“My 16 year old daughter was left with unsightly scarring on her shoulders, due to severe acne. I made contact with Michelle McKenzie in the hope that she would be able to provide advice concerning the type of body make-up which would be suitable for her to use, and instructions on how to apply this. Her advice was great! My daughter is now looking forward to her high school prom and has the confidence to wear a much coveted strappy dress without feeling self-conscious. She is also looking forward to purchasing lots of feminine summer clothes that she would normally have avoided. I can’t thank Michelle enough!”

‘I can now face people, instead of turning away’
“My way of life has changed so much since I had a consultation with Michelle McKenzie. I have had a rash on my face for six years, and was starting to become quite introverted, but now I find myself actually facing people when I talk to them instead of turning away. It was my friend’s wedding recently and previously I would have hidden away, but I felt confident enough to join everyone in the garden.
“As well as teaching me camouflage techniques, she has set me off on a journey with a Consultant Dermatologist, Dr Richard Ashton, to help me find out what was causing the red patches. It’s made a big difference, and now I can manage my condition with a combination of medicine and makeup. I had been struggling on my own but now feel comforted in the knowledge that I have my little team of people with me every step of the way. And when I look in the mirror every morning, I now class myself as ‘normal’. And that makes me very happy.”
