K E R R Y W I L K I N S O N

THE MULTI AWARD WINNING CEO AND DIRECTOR OF WILKINSON AESTHETICS

erry truly lights up her industry

with

her

authentic,

approachable

M E E T

What inspires me?

nature

and

genuine,

bubbly

personality that uplifts and inspires

those around her.

Kerry’s journey began at just 16, when

she

discovered

her

passion

for

symmetry and balance as a Special FX

Makeup

Artist.

What

started

as

creativity and curiosity has evolved

into a mission—using her refined skills

to enhance natural beauty and create

facial harmony through the art of

aesthetics.

Kerry has been in the industry for over

a decade, specialising in age reversal,

facial lifting and male aesthetics.

A busy mum and wife, she runs her

thriving clinic on Walney Island—a

small

northwest

island

with

population of just 10,519. Despite its

size, Kerry attracts clients from across

the UK.

She is an advanced Level 7 Aesthetic

Practitioner with patient safety at the

forefront of all her work.

Transparency around skin health and wellbeing. My clients’ self-care comes in many forms, and I

am honoured to be one of the people they trust on that journey. I’m their friend, confidant,

therapist, and guide. We share a deep level of respect and care for one another.

In the future, I want to work closely with the next generation—guiding them to love themselves and

understand their skin, helping them make rational, well-researched decisions in an industry that

can be difficult to navigate. Safety and trust are key. I have many exciting plans in the pipeline…

but can’t share just yet.

Kerry is no stranger to success, having won over 15 awards in just 18 months. We wish her well at

her upcoming awards in November and at our prestigious NBA Awards in January. She looks

forward to judging even more awards in 2026, offering fair, detailed evaluation within her field and

celebrating the raw talent within our incredible industry.

Product or

Service Highlights

I

have

recently

won

the

title

Aesthetic Practitioner of the North

at the prestigious TLA

Awards in August and also brought

home wins from the GLAMOUR

Awards this month.

Last

month

we

launched

revolutionary, innovative treatment

within aesthetics—Endosculpt.

Additionally, after seeing a rise in clients presenting with questionable moles and skin concerns,

I expanded my services by introducing mole and skin screening, using the specialised DE-300

Dermatoscope. Images are captured and sent to professional dermatology consultants, with a

full report returned quickly and efficiently.

Skin cancer is a growing statistic, and it’s comforting to know I can contribute, even in a small

way, to early detection and awareness.

“I specialise in age reversal, working across all

areas of the aesthetic industry, including PDO

threads, HA dermal filler and botulinum toxin.”

The introduction of Endosculpt, launched only

last month, is set to be revolutionary for our

industry. This non-surgical lifting technique

uses fibre-optic laser technology with a 980

wavelength to deliver minimally invasive, long-lasting natural results. A hair-thin optical fibre is

inserted under the skin through tiny entry points within the subdermal layers. This procedure

tightens skin, reduces excess fat, and stimulates new collagen production. It can be used on the

face, neck, double chin, under-eye area, and abdomen.

Benefits include minimal downtime, dual action skin tightening and fat reduction, and long-

lasting improvements when performed by a qualified professional.

Industry Predictions for 2026

PLLA, Sculptra and Radiesse will rise as favourite injectables, alongside the ever-growing

demand for botulinum toxin.

Dermal fillers have dipped this year as clients become more educated and seek a more natural,

skin-health-focused approach. Laser technology is advancing rapidly, and I expect to see a surge

in high-performance laser treatments.

My future goal is to continue educating the next generation on choosing practitioners safely—

doing their research, understanding risks, and knowing what to look for in safe aesthetics.

HAIR & NAIL TRENDS FOR

WINTER 2025 IN THE UK

s temperatures drop and the UK slips into its signature winter

chill, beauty lovers are turning toward richer tones, luxurious

textures and low-maintenance glamour.

Winter 2025 brings a wave of timeless elegance mixed with modern,

wearable trends—perfect for the salon client, the at-home enthusiast

and the editorial spotlight.

The Return of Glossy, Expensive-Looking Hair

Winter 2025 is all about shine. Think “expensive brunette”, espresso

gloss, and high-shine black”. These deep, dimensional shades are paired

with ultra-smooth blowouts or soft, fluffy waves for a finish that reads

healthy, youthful and effortlessly chic.

In salons across London and Manchester, glossing treatments and oil-

infused masks are in high demand as clients focus on restoring

hydration after the summer. The goal? Hair that looks rich, reflective

and touchably soft.

Quiet Layers & Polished Shape

The layering trend continues—just quieter. Soft, invisible layers

give movement without obvious chop, creating a naturally lifted look.

Paired with curtain or bottleneck bangs, this shape flatters every face type and is becoming a winter go-to.

The polished bob also continues its reign. From sharp one-length bobs to softer French-girl cuts, shorter

styles are dominating both red carpets and high streets.

Winter Nails Go Rich, Textured and Luxe

This year’s nail trends mix classic glamour with creative details:

1. Molten Metal Chrome

Gold, pewter and champagne chrome are taking over winter sets—perfect for festive events and New Year

glam.

2. Deep Velvet Nails

Rich tones like oxblood, forest green and navy with a velvet or suede finish bring instant luxury.

3. Minimalist Micro-French

A thin, winter-inspired tip—cream, silver or deep plum—is replacing the classic white French.

4. Short, Clean Sculpted Nails

Winter 2025 emphasises healthy nail beds over length. Expect more structured BIAB sets, tidy cuticles and

barely-there nudes.

5. Pearl & Stone Detailing

Rather than heavy gems, small pearl accents or subtle stones are giving nails an elevated, editorial feel.

Both hair and nail trends this winter share a theme: quiet luxury meets wellness. Clients are prioritising

treatments that strengthen, repair and nourish—whether that’s bond-building hair rituals or nail barrier

serums.

CELEBRITY BEAUTY

ROUTINES UK EDITION

WHAT THE STARS ARE REALLY USING

ritish celebrities have always

shaped beauty trends—from

the effortlessly dewy red

carpet

look

to

the

polished,

understated glamour seen across

TV, film, and fashion. But in 2026,

audiences want more than product

placements

and

polished

campaigns. They want authenticity.

They want to know what the stars

are

actually

using

behind

the

scenes—and why.

What’s emerging is a fascinating

blend of luxury, science, wellness,

and intentional rituals that reflect

the UK’s evolving approach to

beauty.

Skincare as a Lifestyle, Not Just a

Routine

Across the UK celebrity landscape,

the biggest shift isn’t a single

product—it’s the mindset. Top

actresses, presenters, and creators are prioritising consistency, barrier health, and professional-grade

ingredients.

Many turn to dermatologists and medical aestheticians for personalised routines: think peptide-rich

serums, barrier-repair moisturisers, and antioxidant-heavy mornings. Retinoids remain the quiet hero of

celebrity skin prep, often paired with LED mask sessions to reduce irritation and boost glow before

events.

The Rise of “Quiet Luxury” in Beauty

The UK’s “quiet luxury” movement has made its way into celebrity bathrooms. Instead of flashy

branding, stars are choosing sleek, minimal, science-led products that perform.

Rather than using 15-step rituals, many well-known faces prefer a tight edit of essentials that deliver

visible results without overwhelming the skin.

Tech-Driven Beauty: The New Status Symbol

More than ever, celebrities are embracing at-home devices to maintain their glow between red carpet

appearances. LED therapy masks, micro-current tools, and even AI-powered skin analysers have

14

become staples in their dressing rooms.

These devices offer something celebrities value most: privacy, convenience, and continuity.

A 10-minute LED session or micro-current lift before a shoot can be the difference between “good skin”

and instantly camera-ready skin.

Natural Enhancements Are the New Normal

Gone are the days of overdone cosmetic tweaks. Today’s stars are opting for subtle, barely-detectable

treatments that enhance rather than transform. This includes:

skin-boosting injections for luminosity

gentle radiofrequency tightening

light-touch Botox for movement-friendly smoothness

Celebrities want to look refreshed—not altered. This shift mirrors the UK public’s growing demand for

natural, healthy, radiant skin over dramatic modification.

Wellness Is Now a Beauty Essential

More UK celebrities are now speaking

openly about the lifestyle habits that

support their glow. Sleep routines,

collagen-boosting

supplements,

infrared saunas, hydration tracking,

and stress management rituals are all

part of what keeps them feeling and

looking good.

For many, wellness isn’t an add-on

anymore—it’s the foundation.

What Fans Can Learn From These

Routines

The real message behind celebrity

beauty today is clarity:

You don’t need a celebrity budget to

achieve celebrity-level skin. You need

consistency, quality ingredients, and a

routine that works for your skin.

Celebrity routines are becoming more accessible because they focus less on expensive gimmicks and

more on what actually works. The modern celebrity approach to beauty is grounded in three pillars: skin

health, longevity, and minimal but effective habits. It’s no longer about collecting every trending

product; it’s about understanding what your skin needs and committing to it consistently.

For many UK stars, that means investing in high-quality, science-backed essentials rather than

overflowing shelves. You’ll see a focus on peptides for firmness, ceramides for barrier support,

antioxidants for protection, and retinoids for age prevention. The essentials matter more than the

extras.

This shift shows something powerful: the most luminous skin doesn’t come from perfection—it comes

from balance.

KELLY ROSE

Exclusive Interview

T H E S K I N C L I N I C E X P E R T

Kelly Rose is a 15 x award-winning skincare specialist,

skincare brand owner and business mentor. She specialises

in helping skin specialists and clinic’s increase their sales

and revenue, without burning out. She is also event director

of Beauty Business Elevation, which runs educational

events for the beauty, skincare and aesthetics industry.

Magazine and Kent Online. Kelly shares skincare and

business tips over on her instagram @kellyellerose

16

WHAT WAS THE TURNING POINT THAT MADE

YOU REALISE YOU WANTED TO HELP OTHER

SKIN SPECIALISTS BUILD THEIR OWN FREEDOM-

LED BUSINESSES?

“My skincare business began from a genuine desire to

help others overcome adult acne, something I had

personally battled with in my 20’s. I’ve always loved

helping people, and when my Skin Clinic became fully

booked, I hit a point of realisation: there simply

weren’t enough hours in the day to serve everyone.

Like so many in the beauty industry, I was trading

time for money. and no matter how passionate you

are, that model eventually caps your income and

your freedom.

During lockdown, I launched my own online skincare

store. It flourished, even after reopening, generating

between £5,000 and £15,000 a month in product

sales.

That

experience

completely

shifted

my

perspective. It showed me what’s truly possible when

you build smart, scalable income streams, and I

developed a passion for helping other Skin Specialists

do the same.

Soon, other business owners started reaching out on

Instagram, asking how I was thriving during such a

difficult time and if I could teach them how to do it

too. Business strategy has always come naturally to

me - I see opportunities and solutions where others

might see obstacles. I’ve become known for thinking

outside

the

box,

helping

others

launch

new

treatments, find additional revenue streams, and

scale with confidence. Nothing excites me more than

watching someone go from barely surviving to

absolutely thriving in their business!“

MANY CLINIC OWNERS STRUGGLE WITH

BURNOUT AND PRICING CONFIDENCE. WHAT’S

THE BIGGEST MINDSET SHIFT YOU TEACH TO

HELP THEM STEP INTO THEIR ‘EXPERT’

IDENTITY?

“The biggest shift comes from truly understanding value. So many Skin Specialists undercharge because

they don’t fully recognise the worth of their expertise. When you value what you bring to the table, and

when you teach your clients to do so too, everything changes.

If you’re offering premium treatments, using professional-grade products, and providing a brilliant

experience, your pricing should reflect that. I teach my clients to stop seeing themselves as “just” therapists

and start owning their role as industry experts. Confidence and profitability follow when you embody that

identity.

And the truth is, low pricing doesn’t attract dream clients. It often does the opposite. The clients you truly

want will invest in quality, results, and experience. When you showcase those three pillars - your treatment,

your knowledge, and your client journey - you’re no longer just selling a facial or a service… you’re delivering

a transformation, which clients will pay a premium for.”

17

YOU’VE BUILT MULTIPLE SUCCESSFUL

VENTURES, FROM A SIX-FIGURE CLINIC TO YOUR

OWN SKINCARE RANGE. WHAT DO YOU THINK

SEPARATES THE GOOD FROM THE TRULY GREAT

IN THE BEAUTY BUSINESS WORLD?

“Integrity, authenticity, and purpose. The truly great

ones build from the heart and they lead with passion

and purpose, not just profit. When you care deeply

about your craft, your clients, and your impact,

success becomes a by-product of that dedication.

It’s easy to see what someone’s values are in

business, and I believe my genuine care for both my

mentoring clients and my skincare clients shines

through in everything I do. I always go above and

beyond, because helping others grow isn’t just my job,

I feel like it’s my calling.“

YOU TALK A LOT ABOUT WORKING LESS AND

EARNING MORE. WHAT DOES TRUE FREEDOM

LOOK LIKE TO YOU?

“Freedom, to me, means living life on your own terms.

Being able to do what you want, when you want,

without being tied to one location or a rigid schedule.

It’s the ability to travel, to work from anywhere, and

to be fully present for the people who matter most.

There was a time when I put work above everything.

But when my dad passed away, it completely shifted

my outlook. I realised that the most valuable thing we

have isn’t money, it’s time. You can always make

more money, but you can never get back lost

moments. That’s why I’m so passionate about helping

others create businesses that give them freedom. It’s

so important to live fully and work intentionally, it’s

why we create our businesses in the first place – to

have more money and freedom.”

YOU’VE ACHIEVED SO MUCH — MULTIPLE AWARDS, SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSES, AND NOW

EMPOWERING OTHERS. BUT WHEN YOU’RE NOT IN BUSINESS MODE, WHAT KEEPS YOU GROUNDED

OR INSPIRES YOU OUTSIDE OF WORK?

“Travel, music, and meaningful connection are my biggest sources of inspiration. I love exploring new places,

immersing myself in different cultures, and spending time with people who make me laugh and remind me what

life’s really about.

Personal growth also fuels me. Whether it’s through reading, journaling, or simply taking time to reflect. Long

walks with my little Cavapoo, Toffee, is the best grounding force. She demands attention and reminds me to

slow down and be present. Those everyday moments outside of business refill my cup and reignite my

creativity, so I can continue showing up at my best for myself and my clients.“

Wellness 2026:

How Beauty

Brands Are

Embracing

Nutrition, Sleep &

Self-Care

wellness. As consumers become more informed,

more health-conscious, and more intentional about

their routines, beauty brands are repositioning

themselves as partners in overall wellbeing—not just

appearance.

From Topicals to Total Wellness

For years, skincare focused on what could be applied

on the surface. Today, brands recognise that glowing

skin doesn’t start with a serum—it starts with

lifestyle. Nutrition, sleep quality, hormone balance,

and stress reduction are now major pillars shaping

new product launches and service menus.

This shift aligns with a global movement toward slow

beauty, longevity, and prevention rather than

correction.

In 2026, beauty brands are expected to integrate

ingestibles more heavily into their offerings. Collagen

sachets,

gut-health

supplements,

adaptogenic

powders, and drinkable beauty elixirs are becoming

mainstream.

But more importantly, brands are collaborating with

nutritionists and dietitians to ensure these products

genuinely support skin health—reflecting a newfound

commitment to science-first formulations.

Sleep: The Luxury Treatment Everyone Needs

The idea of “beauty sleep” is no longer metaphorical.

Sleep-focused beauty is projected to be one of the

fastest-growing wellness categories.

Brands are launching calming mists, magnesium-

infused body products, pillow sprays, and routines

he beauty industry is undergoing one of its

most meaningful evolutions yet. What was

once dominated by topical whole-body

designed to support circadian rhythms. Some are

even creating partnerships with sleep labs and

wearable tech companies to help consumers track

the impact of rest on skin quality.

Another major trend shaping 2026 is the shift from

quick fixes to slow, sensory rituals. Consumers want

experiences, not steps. This has encouraged brands

to design products that promote mindfulness—think

warm oil cleansing, guided breathing apps attached

to skincare lines, or spa-inspired tools that bring

relaxation into the home.

These rituals tap into a growing demand for

emotional wellbeing within beauty.

Self-Care Becomes Standard, Not Optional

Gone are the days when self-care was a luxury. In the

2026 landscape, it is an expectation. Brands that

cater to emotional wellness—through grounding

fragrances,

mood-balancing

ingredients,

affirmational

packaging,

or

stress-reducing

applications—are those capturing strong loyalty.

Wellness is no longer a side category; it’s a core

identity.

Where Beauty Is Heading Next

As aesthetics and wellness merge, the industry is

moving toward a future where beauty is defined by

balance, wellbeing, and longevity. Brands embracing

nutrition, sleep science, and intentional self-care

aren’t just following a trend—they’re shaping the next

era of holistic beauty.
