SkinBase Spotlight: Rebecca Willshee & Client James

James completed a course of 10 SkinBase Hydro treatments with Becky back in 2024 to tackle his sore, debilitating acne and the process and his fantastic results have changed his life. His mum shared:

“We have watched his skin change from this red, aggressive, angry skin and now he is confident, and holds his head up high.”

Let’s find out more about Becky and James’ Transformation of the Year journey with SkinBase Hydro.

“If you’re struggling with your skin, these treatments are life changing.”

For many clients, walking into a salon is the first step in a journey they’ve been putting off for years. Skin concerns like acne and congestion can take a huge toll. Becky sees it time and time again: clients who feel frustrated, embarrassed or unsure where to turn. That’s where professional treatments, backed by expert advice and a tailored plan, can make all the difference.

If you’re struggling with your skin, you’re not alone, and our SkinBase therapists are here to guide you every step of the way.

“I get so many people come to me that have never had a facial before, and I want to make them feel really relaxed.”

The initial appointment can feel like stepping into the unknown, particularly for clients who have never had a professional treatment before. Becky knows this, and ensures every client feels welcome from the moment they walk through the door. Your SkinBase Therapist will focus on creating a calm, relaxed atmosphere where you can talk openly about your concerns.

Your first appointment isn’t about perfection, it’s simply about understanding your skin and building a plan that works for you.

“I always say, let’s just go through it, let’s just start the process, let’s take the pictures.”

Becky encourages clients not to overthink it, and simply begin. Every SkinBase journey begins with a thorough consultation. Your SkinBase Therapist will look at the full picture: your skin history, daily routine, lifestyle factors and long-term goals, before building a tailored treatment plan.

“I show them their instant results after just one facial and then they’re like oh my god Becky, what a difference.”

Photographs taken at the beginning may feel intimidating, but they become one of the most powerful tools in the process. When you see your skin every day, small improvements can go unnoticed. Having clear comparisons allows progress to be measured properly and celebrated along the way.

Starting the process is often the hardest step, but it’s also the most important.

“My top tip for getting those amazing results is consistency.”

Real transformation takes time. James committed to his course of 10 treatments and trusted Becky’s guidance every step of the way. As a result, they achieved an award-winning SkinBase Hydro acne transformation.

By attending appointments regularly and following his recommended skincare routine at home, he allowed his skin the time it needed to heal and improve.

“JC is continuing with the treatments as he still gets the odd breakouts, but the scarring is still improving week in, week out.”

Once you’ve achieved your goals, maintenance treatments help keep your skin on track long-term. Just like going to the gym, great skin needs upkeep. A single course can create incredible change, but occasional top-up treatments ensure your skin stays clear, balanced and healthy.

When you stay consistent and trust the process, the results speak for themselves.

“It’s great to get the results, but what’s even better is making sure that that teenage boy is confident in his own skin.”

The visible improvements in James’ acne were incredible, but the emotional shift was even more powerful. With calmer, clearer skin came renewed confidence. He felt able to socialise without worry, face the world without self-consciousness and simply enjoy being a teenager. True transformation isn’t just skin deep, it’s about how you feel every single day. His mum shared:

“JC’s skin got better and better, and the difference in him was huge, he was gaining confidence, shoulders back, head held high. He has even got his first job! We are so proud.”

“You never think that it’s going to be you that wins a competition like this.”

For Becky, being crowned Transformation of the Year 2024 was a surreal and emotional moment. To see her dedication recognised meant everything, and sharing that win with James made it even more special! Her expertise and his commitment to the process paid off, with clearer skin, renewed confidence and unforgettable holidays for them both.

If you’ve been thinking about starting your skin journey, this is your sign. Begin your transformation now, and this time next year, it could be you celebrating results and packing for the Caribbean!

“Remember, your skin’s worth it and so are you!”
