Client Testimonials

"I love going to Beauty Essentials. My sensitive skin feels and looks so much more youthful than before and is definitely a lot more settled now I'm using Environ products. I'm always getting complimented on how young I look for my age.

Joanne is caring, professional and very knowledgeable about all the products she uses. After a treatment with Joanne I always leave Beauty Essentials feeling relaxed and rejuvenated under her expert care and gentle healing hands."

Dear Joanne,

I am writing to thank you for the wonderful job you do as my skin therapist.

You were the first person to ever tell me the truth about my skin. In the past other therapists told me it was fine, but you showed me what damage had been done, and how I could go about repairing it. Consequently you recommended that I use Environ Skincare Products and my skin now feels better than it has done in years.

From the thorough advice and information you have given me I can tell you have had extensive training and experience in skin therapy. This has really reassured me and gives me confidence using the products you recommend. The positive changes to the health of my skin show that you know what you are talking about!!

I really enjoy receiving treatments from you. I find the time at Beauty Essentials to be relaxing and friendly and I always look forward to it.

Thanks once again,

Georgie Mortensen

“I am absolutely delighted with Joanne and the Environ products.

Before coming to Beauty Essentials my skin was extremely sensitive and reactive. My face was often red, dry and flaky. I had tried many different products and ranges for dry/sensitive skin, all of which caused my skin to “flare up”. I could not wear sunscreen or make-up as my face would become red, dry and irritated.

Thank goodness I am no longer struggling with my skins sensitivity “outbursts”. It took sometime to slowly build up my skin’s “strength” but I can now wear sunscreen and make-up with out any problems.

I would highly recommend Joanne with her thorough knowledge of the Environ range.

“That was the best facial massage I have ever had.  With other facial massages, I have felt that the therapists were just slapping on product, rubbing it in, and not putting any effort or care into what they were doing.  You do.”
