REVIEW
Bespoke beauty
treatments for you
Beauty is my passion. Those are
the words of Ingrid Raphael,
a medical aesthetician and
cosmetician in Stamford Hill.
Ingrid knows vast amounts
about beauty and skincare – so much
so that she has been running an airy,
relaxing shop in the area offering facials,
manicures and massages for five years.
The treatments you receive are agreed
with you after an analysis of your skin.
They can range from personalised facials
that create a beautiful complexion
whatever your skin condition, to reviving
body treatments designed to help you
relax and unwind.
Rather than picking from a menu of
options, you simply tell your therapist
how long you want you facial to last
(costing between £33 and £120) and
Ingrid takes care of everything else.
Treatments are complimented by
a range of unique products such as
SkinCeuticals, Medik8 and Niod.
My 90-minute facial included an
intensive face and head massage; peeling
and cold jade rollers; a nourishing and
moisturising mask; and
a dermapen treatment.
The change and renewal
in my skin was visible the
following day.
Ingrid knows that each
person’s skin has different
needs, which is why every
Hackney resident must
visit for her professional know-how
and expert bespoke care. For further
