Facials that enhance your natural radiance and leave you feeling renewed, inside and out.
Skin by Thea is a luxury facial studio near Hook, Hampshire, specialising in Facial Massage, Gua Sha, Facial Cupping, Buccal/Intraoral, SkinPen microneedling, AlumierMD facials and chemical peels, and personalised skin plans for those seeking calmer, healthier, more radiant skin. Rooted in advanced skin knowledge and slow, intentional touch, each treatment is designed to support your skin, soften facial tension and create space for your nervous system to settle.
-
Choose Gua Sha Restore if you want an hour of deep relaxation while also supporting brighter, less puffy skin.
This slow, restorative treatment combines gua sha, facial cupping, gentle lymphatic drainage and facial massage to ease tension, encourage circulation and help settle the nervous system.
For a deeper treatment focused on jaw tension and facial sculpting, choose Advanced Sculpt and Buccal Release.
If you struggle to fully let go and relax, ask me about adding a free guided meditation to your treatment on the day.
-
Book a Skin Consultation if you want focused advice and a clear plan without having a treatment on the day.
We will talk in depth about your skin, routine, lifestyle and concerns, before looking closely at how your skin is behaving and what may be influencing it.
For advice alongside a full facial, choose The Journey Facial. This is the best place to begin if you are new to Skin by Thea and would like your skin assessed before receiving a personalised treatment.
-
For an immediate, temporary lifted and refreshed appearance, choose Advanced Sculpt and Buccal Release or the Gua Sha and Facial Cupping Restore.
For longer-term improvement in fine lines and skin firmness, SkinPen Microneedling is usually the most targeted choice. It stimulates the skin’s natural repair response and supports new collagen and elastin formation.
A tailored Chemical Peel can also help improve surface texture, brightness and the appearance of finer lines.
-
Choose Deep Cleanse and Reset for blackheads, blocked pores, congestion and rough surface texture.
The treatment combines tailored cleansing, exfoliation, steam where appropriate, careful manual extractions and calming products, without unnecessarily stripping the skin.
If your skin is inflamed, sensitive or your breakouts are persistent, a Skin Consultation may be the best place to begin. Once the skin is more settled, chemical peels or microneedling may be introduced where appropriate.
-
Choose a Chemical Peel if dullness, uneven tone or surface texture are your main concerns. A tailored AlumierMD peel removes built-up surface cells and supports a smoother, fresher and more radiant complexion.
For brightness combined with deep relaxation, choose Gua Sha Restore.
For a completely personalised treatment using the techniques your skin needs on the day, book Leave It With Me.
-
If your texture is linked to blocked pores and closed comedones, begin with Deep Cleanse and Reset or a Skin Consultation so we can decide on the most appropriate approach.
For acne scarring, enlarged pores and uneven texture, SkinPen Microneedling is usually the most targeted treatment. A course is often recommended for the best results.
Chemical Peels are well suited to roughness, dull surface texture, congestion and uneven tone.
-
Choose Advanced Sculpt and Buccal Release for facial puffiness, jaw tension and a more lifted, defined appearance.
The treatment combines lymphatic drainage, advanced facial massage, gua sha, facial cupping and intraoral buccal massage. Working both externally and inside the mouth allows deeper areas of tension around the jaw and cheeks to be addressed.
For a gentler treatment focused on de-puffing, glow and relaxation, choose Gua Sha Restore.
-
If your skin feels sensitive, reactive, dry or easily overwhelmed, begin with a Skin Consultation, The Journey Facial or Leave It With Me.
The focus will be on understanding what may be disrupting your skin barrier and choosing a calm, supportive treatment rather than introducing anything too active too quickly.
-
Choose Advanced Sculpt and Buccal Release if you grind your teeth, clench your jaw or hold tension through your cheeks, temples and lower face.
The treatment combines advanced facial massage, lymphatic drainage and intraoral buccal massage to work more deeply around the jaw and cheeks, helping the face feel softer, lighter and more mobile.
-
For an immediate glow with no downtime, choose Gua Sha Restore, Advanced Sculpt and Buccal Release, Leave It With Me or The Journey. These treatments can help reduce puffiness, soften tension and leave the skin looking brighter, calmer and more refreshed.
For a wedding or other important event, it is better to begin earlier. Ideally, book a Skin Consultation or The Journey around six months beforehand so we can create a realistic treatment plan for your skin. Depending on your concerns, this may include a course of microneedling or chemical peels, supported by regular facials and a simple homecare routine.
Your final treatment can then be planned close to the event to focus on glow, hydration, relaxation and sculpting, without introducing anything new at the last minute.

My mobile facial service brings selected Skin by Thea treatments to you, whether leaving the house is difficult, you are recovering, caring for a new baby, short on time or simply feel more comfortable at home.
I’ll bring everything needed to create a calm, considered treatment in your own space. Mobile appointments are available for selected facials and facial massage treatments within the local area, subject to location and availability.
What treatment is right for you?
Treatments can give the skin an immediate boost, but the most meaningful results usually come from consistency (with your home care and your in clinic treatments). A one-off facial is wonderful for relaxation, radiance or preparing for an event, while a carefully planned series allows us to work more progressively on concerns such as congestion, uneven texture, pigmentation, fine lines and loss of firmness. From my studio near Hook, Hampshire, I create personalised treatment plans using advanced facial massage, lymphatic drainage, gua sha, facial cupping and buccal massage alongside AlumierMD chemical peels and SkinPen microneedling. Clients visit from Basingstoke and the surrounding areas for treatments designed to support healthier, more balanced skin over time.

At Skin by Thea, my approach is a fusion of labs and lineage: microneedling meets gua sha, science meets time-honoured techniques, cupping meets custom protocols.
My approach to skin goes beyond the surface. I look at what is influencing how your skin behaves, from barrier health to hormones and the nervous system, and support it to function properly again.
I don’t believe in fighting ageing with force. I believe in ageing with intention, working with your skin’s natural rhythm rather than against it.
Whether you want to address changes in your skin, restore its health or simply enhance its natural vitality, every facial treatment at Skin by Thea is designed to deliver results you can see and feel.
