Welcome to Skin and Essence: Beauty with a Purpose!

Imagine a place where beauty and compassion unite to transform lives. At Skin and Essence, we’re not just focused on enhancing appearances—we’re dedicated to making a profound difference to many that live without hope! Our motto, “Beauty with a Purpose,” embodies our mission to uplift and empower, blending elegance with empathy.

Domestic abuse is a silent epidemic, tormenting one in five people in the UK. It lurks behind forced smiles and closed doors, leaving deep, invisible scars. In the UK, it’s conservatively estimated that 1 in 5 people over the age of 16 endure this nightmare. That’s the roughly equivalent of the entire population of Manchester. Think about it—one in five of your closest friends, neighbours, or family members could be silently suffering right now, ashamed, fearful, and isolated as they endure agonising torture every day! 

As a Paramedic, I’ve seen at first hand the harsh realities of this crisis, far, far too much! The trauma of domestic abuse isn’t  just a personal struggle; it’s a becomes a cycle that extends its tendrils, spreading pain and suffering throughout generations, undermining confidence and nurturing a multitude of mental health problems. To often the support systems in place, fall way short of being remotely adequate, leaving many alone and without the help they desperately need!

This is where Skin and Essence aims to step in. I am launching a business that not only helps individuals feel beautiful but also channels a portion of all the profits to support domestic abuse charities, maybe one day funding a full-time outreach worker. These organisations are vital lifelines, offering survivors hope and a path to rebuilding their lives.

I need your support to turn this vision into reality. By donating to my crowdfunding campaign, you’re investing in more than just a start-up—you’re investing in a future where beauty and compassion go hand in hand. Your support will help me to actually make a real difference by directly funding essential services for those in lost in their endless pain. Together, we can spread hope and empowerment, one treatment at a time, shining a bright light on the path to a life free from the relentless bombardment of abuse!

Your donating swill allow me to get this business of the starting blocks, by purchasing equipment, training and renting premises for a couple of months.

This is more than a business—it is a cause. Together, we can create something truly meaningful that really does some good. donate today and be part of something transformative!

Skin and Essence: Beauty with a Purpose—because everyone deserves to live free from fear, shame and hopelessness.
