Your skin type is the skin you were born with, so it is written in your genes. Your skin type will usually not change but will be influenced by internal and external factors which we call skin conditions.
Skin Types vs Skin Conditions
Dry/Mature skin
Dry skin will appear as having no oil flow, with pores that are very small or not visible. This skin type will feel thinner than oily skin. Mature skin will notice either a reduction in oil flow or none at all. The skin will feel more fragile due to the body producing less collagen underneath.
Oily/Combination skin
Oily skin will present with larger pores and oil flow usually more so in the t-zone section. The skin will feel thicker than dry or mature skin and is usually more prone to breakouts and black heads (comedones). Combination skin will be a mixture or oily and normal/dry skin. The oil flow will usually be in the t-zone section with normal/dry skin on the forehead and outer cheek area.
Sensitive
Sensitive skin will present as red, hot, itchy, dry and flaky. But sensitive skin can also present with some oil flow. It will react to even the slightest amount of stimulation such as temperature, pressure, fragrances, soap, wind etc. It is important to note that there is a sensitive skin type and a sensitised skin condition.

Cannot even express how thankful I am to have found Clarity. From the warm welcome the moment you walk in the door, to the incredible massages I’ve had there, to the nurturing products, there is nothing that has been left out of the Clarity experience. But mostly, to know the heart behind all of these and to FEEL that the whole time you are there - the love and warmth in such a safe and healing space. I cannot recommend enough ❤️read more

I love almost everything about Clarity. Everyone there is so lovely and welcoming. The services offered are fantastic also well priced. They're professional and very good at what they do, on the odd occasion I've had to see a different practitioner they've picked up right where the previous one left off.One and only ongoing issue, is the disappointing colouring pencils. Otherwise 10/10!read more

Katie gave me the best massage I have ever received and I don't say that lightly as a therapist myself. She is so thoughtful with every stroke and puts so much care and love into her massages. I was blown away by how relaxed she made me feel, all while getting into my tight muscles. I'll be coming in again thats for sure! Thank you beautiful <3read more

Ever since finding Clarity I haven't been able to go anywhere else. Not only is the space beautiful, and the staff incredibly knowledgeable and amazing at what they do, but Clarity makes you feel that you truly matter to them. You aren't just a number, or more money, you are part of their story, a friend, and they take the time to get to know you so they give you the best possible experience. I love you Clarity xxxread more

My facial with Chantal was literally in my top 5 experiences of all time. She made me feel so relaxed, snug and comfortable - like some kind of blissed out princess (who now has the softest skin in all the land). That hand massage while my face mask was setting was next level zen/yum/omg never stop. Delicious, organic skincare products. Plus, the whole place is beautiful, light, welcoming and friendly. I want to spend every day here. Too much to ask? Thank you so so so SO much for pampering me, Chantal & Clarity! <3read more

I've been seeing Katie Kinniburgh for a few months now, I absolutely love Katie's style of massage which is a combination of lovely firm pressure with assisted stretch. I have a chronic back complaint with a lot of associated muscular tightness & pain. Katie's intimate knowledge of anatomy enables her to locate the exact points to give me much needed relief & comfort. She's a really lovely person too, so that's an absolute added bonus! I will definitely keep coming back for more!read more

Many thanks to Chantal for the most wonderful massage, followed by a soothing Y Natural facial last week @ Clarity. I felt so well looked after, & soothed with the treatments. Then in the cosy reception, I appreciated the opportunity to rest quietly with a herbal tea, taking time to relax & do some mandala colouring in the books provided (very meditating), before I headed back out into the world. Truly it was superb. This is the place to be treated & cared for in the most nurturing friendly & welcoming way. Thanks once again Clarity team for making me feel so welcomed & relaxed. Love love love Clarity so much. Oh & meditation is on tonight ��read more

Hi Sarah.Just a quick note to thank you and your team, particularly Joseph. The feeling or vibe in your office is very warm and friendly. But what impressed me the most was the help I received from Joseph. I have seen him three times now, and each time I have left your premises feeling much better. Not only does he have the knowledge and experience to know what to do to relieve my pains, but he also gives advice for self care, which means I'm not relying on visiting your establishment regularly, but only need to see Joseph should something out of the ordinary occur. Very impressed with your care and professionalism, and would absolutely recommend you to anyone needing the services you provide. Thanks again.read more
