I can’t believe the words I’m about to write to you all, I never in a million years thought this would happen…

My life is taking a huge turn and my family and I are moving to Devon. As a lot of you will know Devon is such a special place to James and I. It was our first trip away together, the destination where all our baby first sandy toes took place, our peaceful place, the frequent trips throughout the year “shall we pop down to Devon, for a quick trip” - like it was just popping to the corner shop to get some milk. Our recent camping trip turned into viewing properties and falling in love with one in particular. Which within a very short time our house is on the market and are plans to go are becoming very real.

So what does this mean for The Zen Den?…My first baby, something that began in my parent’s bedroom many years ago and has grown into this! I mean, grateful is an understatement. Words cannot describe how incredibly lucky I am to have had one of the best teams here built with friendship and so much love (I can’t tell you how much I’m going to miss seeing you guys) the support of you all, the community, your friendship, and loyalty along this road. I will never forget this chapter in my life, the 9 years I have had the pleasure of running this place. But it’s time to say goodbye.

We will be closing down Gemma B and Gemma L columns from the 12th September. This will be the last day you will see the whole gang of The Zen Den. Myself and my Mum Teresa will be continuing working for another 2 weeks until 26th September to honour any voucher anyone has with us, any Caci courses etc. After 26th just skin treatments with myself will run from The Zen Den.

What is the future for The Zen Den and after this point what will happen.. so my beautiful sister has a cabin in Calcot, which she has kindly agreed for me to work from. Once a month (when I move to Devon) I shall be coming back to Reading to continue my clinic from here.

Skincare doesn’t have to be complicated 🤍🌿

A healthy, glowing complexion starts with choosing the right products for your skin and using them consistently. Here’s a simple AlumierMD routine to help you get started:

🫧 Cleanse
AlumierMD Foaming Cleanser gently removes dirt, makeup and excess oil without leaving your skin feeling stripped. Use morning and evening.

✨ Exfoliate
AlumierMD Bright & Clear Solution helps refine the appearance of skin texture and brighten the complexion. Remember, exfoliation doesn’t need to be daily—1–2 times a week may be enough for your skin.

💧 Treat and moisturise
HydraBoost Serum helps hydrate and replenish the skin, while HydraRich helps nourish and support the skin barrier. Together, they leave your skin feeling hydrated, comfortable and cared for.

Every skin type is unique, and there’s no one-size-fits-all routine.

Not sure what your skin needs? Using products without seeing the results you want? Want to discover which AlumierMD products are right for you?

Book a skin consultation at The Zen Den. We’ll assess your skin and create a routine tailored to you and your skin goals.
