  • 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 role is to help identify the factors that may be influencing how your skin behaves — and to support the parts we can change.

    It’s not about perfection. It’s about clarity, care, and building skin that can cope.

    Skin Sequencing™ is the principle I use to bring order, logic, and lasting results to everything I do in clinic.

    It’s based on one simple idea:
    Your skin has layers. So does your care.

  • 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 works to address the factors, both proven and emerging, that may influence the skin’s health and function. One of its key principles is the use of physiological formulations: products that are free from unnecessary additives and designed to work in harmony with the skin’s structure.

    By strengthening the skin’s protective barrier with carefully chosen ingredients, corneotherapy supports healthier, more resilient skin — and promotes results that are sustainable over time.

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

  • At The Happy Skin Clinic®, I work exclusively with dermaviduals® — dermatological skincare developed with the principles of corneotherapy. These products are designed to support and strengthen the skin barrier, using skin-identical ingredients that work in harmony with your skin’s natural function.

    What makes dermaviduals® different is its commitment to physiological formulations — no unnecessary fillers, perfumes, or common irritants — and its use of targeted actives that can be tailored to your individual skin needs.

    This isn’t off-the-shelf skincare. It’s a flexible system, backed by science, chosen to match your skin’s condition, environment, and goals.
