Hi, I’m Léa Gauthier — an accredited skin specialist and founder of Skin by Léa.

I specialise in bespoke facials designed to support healthy, radiant skin in a way that feels both effective and deeply relaxing. Alongside advanced facial treatments, I also offer LVL lash lifts and brow lamination, providing subtle, natural enhancements that complement your skin rather than overpower it.

My journey into skin began in makeup artistry, where I worked professionally from 2010. Over the years, I realised that while makeup can enhance and transform, it often masks underlying skin concerns rather than addressing them. That realisation shifted my focus from covering skin to caring for it — and enhancing natural features in a way that feels effortless and considered.

Today, I work with clients who want real, natural results — whether that’s improving skin texture, restoring glow, calming sensitivity, or enhancing lashes and brows with low-maintenance treatments.

As a wellness enthusiast, I’m passionate about using thoughtful techniques and products that are effective, gentle, and aligned with a more sustainable, cruelty-free approach. I’m constantly learning, refining my skills, and exploring new methods to support your skin, lashes, and brows through every season of life.

If you’re looking for a specialist who takes the time to listen, educate, and treat you with care and intention, I’d love to welcome you.

Who am I?

As an established makeup artist, I have over 18 years’ experience, initially self-taught which I then want on to get qualified to enable me to work in the beauty industry. I’ve worked for numerous brands such as Bobbi Brown, Benefit Cosmetics, NARS cosmetics and the like. Since then, I started to work freelance for numerous platforms such as Urban Massage, Wecasa and Uspaah and developed a strong clientele resulting in an impressive rating. I am so passionate, not just about the makeup artistry and cosmetics themselves, but also building a strong rapport and client satisfaction. The feeling of a client being so happy with the services I provide never gets old and that is ultimately what I strive for with each and every client of mine.

About the venue:

• Atmosphere: Clean.
• Specialises in: Cultivating a welcoming and comfortable environment, where clients feel valued, respected and at ease, as well as providing expert advice and guidance.
