My experience with the Skin Scanner – A Game changer for my skincare routine
I’ll be honest — I arrived for my skin scanner appointment feeling pretty nervous. My skincare routine is, well… basic at best. And with my lack of sleep and questionable hydration habits, I was bracing myself for some pretty mortifying results.
When I walked into the shop, I spotted the scanner tucked away in a quiet corner. Nikki was there to greet me with a warm smile, instantly putting me at ease. She explained that the first step was to cleanse my skin — not just to make it feel fresh, but to ensure the most accurate results from the scanner. It felt surprisingly good, and I started to relax.
Understanding my skin's needs
Nikki introduced the concept behind the scanner — it’s designed to give a deep understanding of your skin’s needs, helping you choose the right products and routines for better results. The process was simple: Nikki used a camera connected to the machine to take several detailed photos of my face as directed by the scanner.
The machine then got to work, analyzing key aspects of my skin:
- Moisture levels
- Oil production
- Pore size
- Spots
- Wrinkles (yes, I was dreading that one!)
- Impurities
- Keratin levels
The whole process took just a few minutes. Afterward, I answered some quick questions about my lifestyle and skincare habits before the machine generated a detailed report. The report showed how my skin compares to others my age — and honestly, it wasn’t as bad as I’d feared! My skin was definitely on the dry side (no surprise there), but I scored well when it came to impurities, which was a nice little win.
Tailored advice and product recommendations
Nikki was brilliant at breaking down the results in a way that actually made sense. She suggested starting with the basics — a cleanser, toner, and moisturiser tailored to my skin type. Once I’d settled into that routine, she recommended adding a serum for deeper hydration and an exfoliator to use three times a week for softer, more receptive skin.
I got to try the products there and then, which was a lovely touch. I especially loved the silky-smooth feel of the Timexpert Hydra Rich Moisturiser and the refreshing scent of the exfoliator. Nikki also showed me a beautiful gift tin containing the recommended serum and moisturiser, with a significant saving if purchased together — tempting!
No pressure, just great advice
As we wrapped up, Nikki suggested coming back to use the scanner again in six weeks to track my progress. While we were chatting, the full report from the scanner landed in my inbox — super convenient.
What I really appreciated was that there was no pressure to buy anything. The cost of the experience is redeemable against any recommended products, which makes it feel like really good value.
I left feeling surprisingly excited about my new skincare routine — and much more confident about what my skin actually needs. If you’re curious about your skin’s health or just looking for a little expert guidance, I can’t recommend the skin scanner experience enough. Thank you, Nikki — see you in six weeks!
