From time to time, it is necessary to indulge in self-care. Skin Society is your address for anything related to makeup, skincare, hair and nail expertise, beauty tools, and products. Their pharmacy section carries all the brands you find in a regular pharmacy as well as aromatherapy, dental care, and food supplements. The Clinic section was founded to help you find the best solution to combine beauty and health, with the counsel of several medical doctors. The staff is courteous and knowledgeable in all the branches and the premises are always spotlessly clean.
One of my favorite sections is the hand-made soaps. You can find a local brand, Senteurs d'Orient, on the shelves, as well as Bomb Cosmetics UK products. These soaps are simply heavenly: they smell great, last long, and look super cute!
What I also enjoy, like many women, is the loyalty program of Skin Society. Every time I go to have a manicure, a pedicure, or simply to buy a gift from the cosmetics section, points are added to my account. I am then entitled to discounts and punctual bundles that make me save on my total bill. I can later choose to redeem these points on products or services. How cool is that?
