Happy International Coffee Day!

We all love that first cup of coffee in the morning — but did you know coffee can have some interesting benefits for both your body and your skin?

Coffee & Your Body
Coffee contains caffeine and naturally occurring antioxidants, including polyphenols. In moderation, research has associated coffee consumption with a number of health benefits, including supporting alertness and potentially contributing to a reduced risk of certain chronic conditions.

Coffee & Your Skin
Caffeine and coffee-derived ingredients are also popular in skincare. They may help to:

• Support the skin’s antioxidant defence
• Temporarily reduce the appearance of puffiness
• Improve the look and feel of skin through gentle exfoliation
• Give the skin a temporarily smoother, more refreshed appearance

Everything in moderation
While your morning coffee can be part of a balanced lifestyle, too much caffeine — particularly later in the day — can interfere with sleep. And because good-quality sleep is essential for healthy-looking skin, timing matters!

It’s also worth remembering that what you add to your coffee matters too. Large amounts of added sugar may not be ideal for your overall diet and could tribute to certain skin concerns.

So today, enjoy your coffee, stay hydrated and remember: healthy skin starts with looking after yourself from the inside out.

Happy International Coffee Day from all of us at Gosforth Beauty!

It's 'Traitors Eve' - The Celebrity Traitors is BACK tomorrow......

And while Claudia Winkleman gets ready to uncover who’s been secretly plotting, we thought we’d play a little game of our own…

Can you spot the skincare Faithfuls from the Traitors?

🤍 THE FAITHFULS

These are the ingredients your skin will be pleased to see as we head into autumn:

Hyaluronic Acid
A hydration hero that helps attract and hold water in the skin — perfect when cooler weather starts leaving your complexion feeling a little drier.

Vitamin C
An antioxidant that can help brighten the appearance of the skin and support a more even-looking complexion.

LED Treatment
LED light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to pe*****te the skin and trigger natural healing processes. Depending on the color used, the treatment targets different layers of tissue to address specific concerns.

These are the ingredients & Treatments we’re happy to welcome into the castle. 👑

But beware…

🖤 THE TRAITORS

Fragrance
Lovely smell, but not always lovely for your skin. Fragrance can be irritating, particularly if your skin is dry or sensitive.

Harsh physical scrubs
Those rough particles might feel like they’re giving you a deep clean, but aggressive exfoliation can irritate the skin.

Over-exfoliation
More isn’t always more! Using exfoliating acids or exfoliating products too frequently can leave skin feeling dry, sore and irritated.

So this autumn, choose your skincare team wisely…

Who’s Faithful and who’s a Traitor in your bathroom cabinet?

Self-Care Sunday

There’s nothing quite like slowing down, settling in with a good book and taking a little time for yourself. And that's exactly what is doing (thanks for sharing)

We’re loving this client’s choice of candle from Plum & Ashby — Seaweed & Samphire. With its fresh, coastal-inspired scent, it’s the perfect way to enjoy those last lingering moments of summer and bring a little holiday feeling into a cosy Sunday at home.

Because self-care doesn’t have to be complicated… sometimes it’s simply a good book, a beautiful fragrance and a little time to unwind.

Training Day for Kathryn & Nicky!

Today we have been on a refresher course for SkinPen — making sure our knowledge and skills are always up to date so we can continue to deliver the very best results for our clients.

So, what is SkinPen?
SkinPen is a professional microneedling treatment designed to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process. Using ultra-fine needles, it creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin.

The result? Skin can look smoother, firmer, brighter and more rejuvenated, with microneedling commonly used to help improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores and certain types of scarring.

We believe that keeping on top of our training and education is just as important as the treatments we offer. We’re continually investing in our knowledge, techniques and expertise, as well as working with trusted, leading brands and professional technologies, to ensure our clients receive the highest standard of care.

Because when it comes to your skin, we believe you deserve nothing less than the best.

A little time for learning, so we can continue to provide the very best for you.

Our salon will be temporarily closed this morning while we take part in staff training.

We’ll be reopening later this afternoon and look forward to welcoming you back.

Thank you for your understanding
Nicky & Kathryn

🍂 Help Your Skin Transition Into Autumn 🍂

As we move from summer into cooler autumn weather, your skin can start to feel the effects of changing temperatures, lower humidity and time spent indoors with heating.
Now is the perfect time to focus on hydration and supporting your skin barrier.

Our autumn skincare essentials:
✨ Cleanse gently — avoid anything that leaves your skin feeling tight or stripped.
✨ Replenish hydration — dermaviduals offers skin-identical skincare designed to support and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier.
✨ Keep your skin protected — UV exposure doesn’t disappear when summer ends. We love Heliocare for convenient daily photoprotection.
✨ Refresh & renew — COSMEDIX and dermaviduals professional skincare can be tailored to your skin and incorporated into your routine to help address concerns such as dullness, uneven texture and dehydration.

Remember: your skin doesn’t necessarily need a completely new routine every season — it may simply need a few carefully chosen adjustments.
Not sure what your skin needs this autumn? Book a consultation at Gosforth Beauty and let us help you create a personalised routine for healthy, radiant skin all year round.

Skincare - Autumn Addition 🍁

Your skincare should be personal to you, we are all individuals and so is our skin. That's why your skincare should change with the seasons.

As the effects of summer leaves dead cells and UV damage on the skins surface, our 3 Autumnal musts this season for radiant skin are:
1. Brighten with Vit C - this supports cell and collagen renewal to brighten and boost immunity.
2. Protect with Antioxidants - this prevents premature ageing caused by oxidative stress triggered from UV light and environmental changes.
3. Hydrate the skin - increasing your water intake and introducing hyaluronic acid keeps the skin hydrated and stops that tight feeling caused by central heating and cold weather.

We recommend Dermaviduals - based on the science of repairing and maintaining the natural skin barrier. Dermaviduals understands that each skin is unique and in need of a truly tailored experience for all skin types and conditions. Therefore, we tailor the products to each individual so your homecare and facial treatments are bespoke to your skin.
And to treat your skin from within we recommend Advanced Skin Nutrition packed with all the nutrients you will need for healthy and beautiful skin this season.
