About Faye Knox

I don't just treat acne. I've lived it.

Founder of Faye K Face Skin Clinic (est. 2022), skin and acne specialist, and Top Midlands Solo Skin Practitioner 2024. But long before any of that, I was the girl hiding her skin.

The journey

Ten years of acne. One real answer.

Age 14

The first breakouts

My acne started as a teenager. What I thought would pass with adolescence followed me into adulthood, slowly chipping away at my confidence.

Age 22

Severe acne, and its weight

By 22 my acne was severe, and it wasn't just my skin suffering. It affected my mental health, how I showed up in the world, and how I felt about myself every single day.

The medical route

Roaccutane

Roaccutane cleared my skin, but it came with harsh side effects. It treated what was on the surface without ever asking why my skin was breaking out in the first place.

Four years

The pill

I spent four years on the contraceptive pill. When I came off it, my acne came straight back. Proof the root cause had been masked, not healed.

The turning point

A PCOS diagnosis

Finally, an answer: polycystic ovary syndrome. My skin had been telling me something about my health all along. Nobody had connected the dots, so I decided to learn how.

Healing

Clear skin, from within

Through diet and lifestyle changes, I healed my skin holistically. No harsh medication, no masking. Clear skin that lasted, because the root cause was finally addressed.

Today

Trained. Qualified. Here for you.

I trained and qualified so no one else has to figure this out alone. Since founding the clinic in 2022, I've helped around 300 clients, and was named Top Midlands Solo Skin Practitioner 2024 by Circadia.
