Hōld Skin Studio is thoughtfully curated by me, Victoria Holdstock. With 15 years as a makeup artist, my passion for creating beautiful, glowing skin naturally led me deeper into skincare. My journey began while assisting brides with skincare preparations for their weddings. Witnessing their incredible transformations and the confidence it instilled was genuinely inspiring. This experience motivated me to expand my knowledge and skills in skincare.

Having faced my own challenges with chronic acne, I've explored a variety of treatments—from Roaccutane to harsh procedures, peels, and microdermabrasion. Through these trials, I came to realize that my skin responded best to a gentle, nurturing approach. This insight guided me to embrace the method of Corneotherapy in my practice.

At Hōld Skin Studio, our approach is rooted in respect for the skin’s natural barrier. You won't find harsh peels or aggressive techniques here; instead, we focus on supporting your skin's health and resilience. Our mission is to help your skin become its healthiest, most radiant self.

Corneotherapy.

Corneotherapy centers on the stratum corneum, which is the skin’s outer layer. The main objective is to nurture a strong and balanced skin barrier. Rather than resorting to aggressive treatments that can harm or deplete the skin, Corneotherapy focuses on repairing and safeguarding this barrier, allowing it to function naturally. This approach offers your skin vital support, enhancing its resilience, health, and radiance. At hōld skin studio, we adopt this philosophy, emphasising gentle care that collaborates with your skin for optimal results.

At hōld skin studio, we use Dermaviduals, a cruelty-free skincare brand renowned for its personalised approach.

Dermaviduals employs an incredibly unique, science-driven approach grounded in the principles of Corneotherapy. This innovative philosophy treats your skin as a living organ, using high-quality ingredients that closely mimic its natural structure for optimal health and function.

Since everyone's skin is unique, Dermaviduals offers highly personalised formulations, expertly blended to address your individual needs and concerns with precision.
