Fairfield Talks Skin

When it comes to skin, there’s no shortage of advice online – but who better to learn from than the professionals who treat skin every single day?

We sat down with our Fairfield team to ask them some of the most common questions we hear in the treatment room: what does their current skin routine look like, which skincare trends would they never use, and what simple tips or habits actually make a difference to skin health. From hydration must-haves to barrier-protecting advice and practical skin hacks, here’s what our therapists really do behind the scenes to keep their own skin healthy, balanced and glowing.

The Fairfield Team Share Their Skin Secrets

Tameca

Q. What is your current go to skin routine?
A. I’m currently using the Ginger&Me Nutri Lux Cleansing Oil which I love! O Cosmedics Exfoliating Cleanser two nights a week, followed by O Cosmedics 3D Hyaluronic Serum and their EGF Booster which is my holy grail. O Cosmedics Rebalancing Cream and the Ginger&Me Glow Oil. When I’m having any breakouts I introduce the Ginger&Me Medi-Control Lotion. I also always finish my morning routine with SPF50+ and 1Skin foundation.

Q. What is one product or skincare trend you would never use?
A. I would never use a sheet mask from an unreputable brand. A lot of cheap sheet masks contain high levels of synthetic fragrances which can be very disruptive to the skin. Always check the ingredients in your products and choose reputable cosmeceuticals to avoid irritation.

Q. Do you have any hacks or skincare secrets you can share?
A. Gua Sha or any form of lymphatic drainage is great. Also, not really a hack but a tip not enough of us follow – do not pick at your breakouts! As tempting as it is, it almost always leads to more inflammation and scarring.

Chantelle

Q. What is your current go to skin routine?
A. I start with the O Cosmedics Nourishing Cleansing Balm, followed by 3D Hyaluronic Acid, the Smart Serum, Comfort Cream and Ginger&Me Glow Oil.

Q. What is one product or skincare trend you would never use?
A. I dislike metal extraction tools. I would never use them on myself and I would never use them on a client. I prefer the old-school method of cotton tips as they are much gentler on the skin.

Q. Do you have any hacks or skincare secrets you can share?
A. Wake your skin up daily with a splash of cold water. If you struggle with puffiness, you can even ice the skin for great anti-inflammatory benefits.

Makayla

Q. What is your current go to skin routine?
A. I’m currently using the O Cosmedics Gentle Antioxidant Cleanser followed by their B3 Serum. I love the Hydra Plus Sleep-In Mask so much that I use it every night! Throughout the day I use Ginger&Me SOS Cream, Lift & Hydrate Eye Cream, Glow Oil and SPF50+.

Q. What is one product or skincare trend you would never use?
A. Nose pore strips – they can be very damaging to your skin barrier.

Q. Do you have any hacks or skincare secrets you can share?
A. Always apply Hyaluronic Acid to damp skin. I don’t think enough people realise this – it helps bind and retain more water in the skin.

Abbey

Q. What is your current go to skin routine?
A. I start with the O Cosmedics Gentle Antioxidant Cleanser, 3-in-1 Fruit Peel Mask, 3D Hyaluronic Serum, Ginger&Me Medi-Control Serum, finishing with Rebalancing Cream and Mineral Pro SPF50+.

Q. What is one product or skincare trend you would never use?
A. At-home blackhead suction devices. They can cause capillary damage, bruising and a lot of unnecessary trauma. As satisfying as they seem, if you’re struggling with congestion it’s better to focus on chemical exfoliators instead.

Q. Do you have any hacks or skincare secrets you can share?
A. Sheet masks when flying! Airplane air-conditioning and long flights can seriously stress the skin. Pop a sheet mask in your carry-on and enjoy the benefits when you land. I recommend the O Cosmedics V8 Peptide Sheet Mask packs.

What we love most about the Fairfield team’s routines is that there’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach – just thoughtful, skin-first choices backed by professional knowledge. From prioritising hydration and barrier care to avoiding trend-driven shortcuts that can cause long-term damage, these are the same principles our therapists apply to every client they treat.

Our skin consultations are complimentary and obligation-free, allowing us to create a personalised treatment plan and home-care routine designed specifically for your skin’s needs. We’d love to support you on your skin journey and help you achieve confident, healthy skin.
