I completed the become a Facialist course which entails level 2 facial skincare and level 3 facial electrics. I can honestly say this is the best investment I made to start my career in skincare the online learning is very in depth, and educational. They have weekly Support sessions which is great and you can contact the team for 1:1 support which I found beneficial. The practical days are amazing Rebecca (based at Clapham branch) is an amazing tutor she makes you feel at ease and is very encouraging, she honestly supported me even when I lacked confidence in myself, and that’s the best thing about skin philosophy you can come in for extra days at no extra cost and they provide many models to practice on as well. I’ve honestly enjoyed studying at Skin Philosophy and I plan to come back next year to complete my level 4

Rebecca was just fabulous, she really took the time with every student and made everyone feel super comfortable. I thoroughly enjoyed the practical days and left feeling confident in my abilities and prepared for my exam. 10/10!
