Cheap Treatments Are Killing The Industry… Here’s How To Price Properly

If They Won't Change, Neither Will Their Skin

Have you ever felt like you're working harder on your client's skin than they are? In this week's episode of The Skindustry Podcast, I'm diving into a topic that every skin specialist will relate to at some point in their career - how to be firmer with clients whilst still being fair, supportive and professional. A fellow practitioner recently asked me how to deal with clients who expect life-changing results from facials but aren't willing to make the changes needed at home. Whether it's acne, rosacea, pigmentation, or ageing concerns, we often find ourselves repeating the same advice over and over again, wondering whether we're educating or nagging. In this episode, I discuss: ✨ Why you can't want clear skin more than your client does ✨ How to set realistic expectations from day one ✨ The difference between educating and nagging ✨ Why treatments alone rarely create transformations ✨ How to encourage client accountability without damaging the relationship ✨ The importance of stepping into your role as the expert ✨ Why being firm and being kind can coexist If you've ever struggled with client compliance, unrealistic expectations or feeling responsible for results that are outside of your control, this episode is for you. As practitioners, our job isn't to promise miracles. It's to provide honest guidance, evidence-based advice and a clear roadmap. What a client chooses to do with that information is ultimately up to them.

I Dropped A Day In Clinic… Then Everything Shifted

In this episode, I’m talking about something I think so many business owners are silently struggling with - burnout 🔥  I open up about what burnout actually looked like for me behind the scenes, what led me there, and the moment I realised something had to change. After constantly overworking, overfilling my diary, and convincing myself I just needed to “push through”, I finally made the terrifying decision to drop a day in clinic. And within 5 minutes of announcing it… an opportunity I’d been quietly manifesting landed in my DM’s 👀  This episode is about why creating space matters, why so many people stay stuck in survival mode, and why nothing changes if nothing changes. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched too thin, or scared to take control of your life or business because of fear, this one is for you. Plants don’t grow any larger in the same pot forever - and neither will you 💐  🎙️ Follow @theskindustry_ and @foxieskinclinic 📱Tag us in your stories when listening and let us know your biggest takeaway  from this episode ✨
