Hi, I’m Jacqui - founder of The Happy Skin Clinic® in Ruyton-XI-Towns. I grew up in Rock, Worcestershire, and spent cherished holidays near Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire - experiences that sparked my lifelong love for the countryside and a nurturing spirit.

My career began in education and corporate operations before life led me to aesthetics. After co-founding an award-winning dental clinic in Milton Keynes, I went on to open an aesthetics practice, which introduced me to the world of professional skincare. Through lockdown I found corneotherapy and dermaviduals, and decided my focus would be on helping people regain confidence and self esteem though improved skin condition. I am an advanced skin therapist, and a qualified electrologist, and I support your skin’s natural ability to repair and rejuvenate itself. My science-based approach focuses on maintaining and strengthening your skin barrier for lasting, visible results.

In December 2020, my daughter and I returned to the beautiful Shropshire countryside to start this new chapter. At The Happy Skin Clinic®, I combine years of experience with a deep commitment to skin health and wellness. I also offer a cosy, self-contained 5* Airbnb next door - ideal for a peaceful retreat.

I’m excited to share my journey and knowledge with the Shropshire community, helping you nurture and support your skin for a healthier, more radiant future.

At The Happy Skin Clinic®, I focus on strengthening the skin barrier using the principles of corneotherapy. My goal is to help you understand your skin and provide personalised skincare solutions that promote recovery and long-term resilience.

With a science-backed approach and products formulated to work with your skin - not against it - I create simple, effective routines designed for lasting skin health.

My approach to corneotherapy stays true to its original intent:

Supporting the skin’s natural barrier using physiological ingredients - without overstating what we know.

While some links between lifestyle, environment, and skin health are well-proven, others are biologically plausible, clinically observed, or still emerging. I respect those nuances. My focus is on caring for the skin with integrity, strengthening what we can influence directly, and gently exploring what might be affecting it.

Corneotherapy is a science-based approach focused on supporting the repair and maintenance of the skin’s natural barrier - the stratum corneum - rather than merely masking visible symptoms. It addresses the factors, proven or emerging, that may affect the skin’s health and function. A key principle of corneotherapy is the use of physiological formulations - products that are free from unnecessary additives and designed to work in harmony with the skin’s structure and function. By strengthening the skin’s natural protective barrier with carefully chosen ingredients, it promotes healthier, more resilient skin, leading to sustainable, long-term results.

Corneotherapy is about helping you achieve healthier, happier skin by addressing its needs with care, science, and integrity.

The Happy Skin Clinic® is powered by dermaviduals® - Barrier dermatological skincare formulated with the principles of corneotherapy to support and strengthen the skin barrier.

What Sets dermaviduals® Skincare Apart:

Knowledgeable Guidance : With ongoing training and resource from dermaviduals UK, and a deeper understanding of the skin barrier, I select the most effective skincare to address your unique skin needs.

Skin-Identical Ingredients: Unlike many conventional skincare products that may contain irritating chemicals, fragrances, common preservatives, and other unnecessary filler ingredients, dermaviduals® skincare is clean, incorporating ingredients that are naturally found in the skin, such as lipids, ceramides, and phosphatidylcholine. These help to support the skin’s barrier and structure, improving its resilience.

Targeted Actives: Actives take a more targeted approach, addressing specific concerns like acne, pigmentation, or ageing. These scientifically proven powerhouses stimulate changes at a cellular level to deliver noticeable results.

No Irritation: Many products on the market promise to address skin concerns but often contain irritating ingredients that disrupt the skin barrier. dermaviduals® formulations, on the other hand, prioritise gentle, supportive ingredients that help restore balance without causing irritation.

By choosing dermaviduals®, you are choosing skincare that not only treats the surface but works in harmony with your skin’s natural repair and rejuvenation processes for lasting results.

Electrolysis is the only method in the world to permanently remove unwanted hair. It’s safe and effective, and suitable for all skin types and all hair colour. At the clinic I specialise in facial hair removal, which includes the neck, chest and back.

Electrolysis treatments are FDA-approved and endorsed by the British Medical Association (BMA), ensuring you receive a treatment that meets the highest safety and efficacy standards.
