About Faye K Face

Established in 2022, Faye K Face skin clinic was born out of empathy and a deep desire to help others clear their skin after her own personal experience. You can read Faye's history with acne below to understand what led her to gain her qualifications to help others like yourself.

FAYE'S OWN ACNE JOURNEY

Adolescent acne

Faye began to get acne at the age of 14 and was always told that she would grow out of it. When she reached the age of 22, her acne was the most severe it had ever been. It began to affect her mental health which is why after years of antibiotics and steroid creams, she begged the Doctor to refer her to go on Roaccutane, a strong acne medication.

Roaccutane

After 6 months, Roaccutane cleared her skin however it came along with some terrible side effects. Although Faye was desperate for clear skin, she often questioned whether taking the oral medication was worth the results due to intensity of it. One of the requirements of Roaccutane is to be on a form of contraception. This is when Faye’s journey began on the oral contraceptive pill.

The Pill

Faye remained on the pill for 4 years, with no sign of any acne. However, in a bid to try and reduce certain symptoms, Faye decided she no longer wanted to take the OCP so quit. This is when Faye’s second round of acne began.

PCOS Diagnosis

Not long after Faye was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, a life-long endocrine condition with acne being a common symptom due to increased androgen levels. Fortunately though, it's absolutely possible to get your symptoms into remission without going back on the pill. And that’s exactly what Faye did, through her own research, she made adjustments to her diet and lifestyle choices and started to heal holistically.

Qualifications

As Faye’s skin started to clear, her understanding of how the skin works began to grow. After taking a Fundamentals of Skin Science course as well as enrolling in a Healthy Hormone programme, she decided that it was time to turn her years of pain, knowledge and passion into a career and qualify as a skin practitioner. Faye holds qualifications in Level 2 Facial and Skincare, Level 3 Anatomy and Physiology, Level 4 Laser and IPL. She is also a qualified Holistic Health and Nutrition Coach and a Functional Health Coach.
