Skincare with conscience
My Story
Care for your skin and help empower a vulnerable women
My chosen charities are:
Tamar Centre, Pattaya, Thailand
Shear Love International, Pattaya, Thailand
Tamar Centre and Shear Love International both have training centres where they re-train women in order for them to live a life away from prostitution and the sex industry.
Supporting these women is important to me and I want to highlight the work of these amazing charities. So once a year a donation will go to to these worthwhile charities, and you can be proud that by choosing to have a treatment with me you are helping to empower
a women to a better and more fulfilled life.
Back in 2017 I was invited out to India on a mission with a charity called Born to be Beautiful to help teach women in the Slums of Mumbai, I helped to teach the women to do manicures, pedicures and massage. These women not only had a long 2 hour journey to the training centre, but also had to learn a new skill with an interpreter, over two intensive weeks they were monitored and eventually they all passed with flying colours.
It was a pure joy to see the transformation not only of new skills, but the empowerment it gave them to get a job, to start a new business and
to support their families.
For me this was the beginning of a journey that would take me to Brighton
and to Pattaya,Thailand to help vulnerable women.

Shear Love International
“Shear Love International trains people from all walks of life. Whether coming from a background of poverty, abuse, exploitation, or trafficking we believe all people deserve an education and an opportunity to succeed”.
Tamar Centre
Tamar Center has a vision to help many women that are working in the sex industry in Pattaya.
“From our outreach center in the middle of the red-light district we reach out to the women working in prostitution and share the light of hope with them. Tamar Center staff visit women in the bars across the city to tell about the opportunity to change their lives and to share the love of God with them. In the outreach center we run an English class and have a hairdressing salon, to build further relationships. If the women are ready to leave the bars behind we offer them housing, vocational training (hairdressing, baking, cooking, sewing and handicrafts), counseling, biblical teaching and practical help. We offer jobs in our businesses to the women and help with further education. Women who want to leave prostitution are welcome to join Tamar at any time.”
