Lauren Smith, Salon Manager at Margaret Inverness, tells the story behind our latest launch – IMAGE Skincare.
“Beauty science moves at a fast pace and Sleeping Beauty director Lilac is committed to offering the very best and most effective treatments to our clients” explains Lauren.
“So when we heard amazing results were being achieved using IMAGE Skincare we researched the company and thoroughly tested the products before deciding that our clients would love it, and we had to have it.
“Our therapists have now completed their rigorous training and we’re thrilled to offer three IMAGE peel treatments together with the at home collection at all Sleeping Beauty salons.”
Why we choose and love IMAGE Skincare
IMAGE believes in clean clinical skincare ensuring its products aren’t just clinically effective, but mindfully made.
So its products do not contain parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, artificial fragrances, synthetic dyes or oxybenzone.
Your wellbeing and safety is of paramount concern as IMAGE explains:
“We analyze our products every step of the way. A full suite of testing includes stability evaluations, safety assessments for potential sensitizers, and extensive review by a panel of independent skincare professionals. If even one element fails to meet our standards, we start again and reformulate until we get it right.”
IMAGE Peel Treatments at Sleeping Beauty
We offer two enzyme peels, and one oxygenating peel.
The Ormedic Lift Enzyme and Signature Facelift Enzyme peels both use gently exfoliating natural fruit-based enzymes to dissolve dead skin cells, support skin cell renewal and soften skin texture with minimal irritation.
“I am getting outstanding results on all skin types, even dry and sensitive skin. They deliver powerful skin rejuvenation and visible results in just one treatment,” adds Lauren.
Both peel treatments take 30 minutes and are £65. Learn more about each peel here.
Oxygen is vital to a healthy, radiant complexion, purifying clogged pores, supporting collagen production and brightening dull skin. The oxygenating IMAGE 02 Lift peel (£55) delivers an instant, visible boost invigorating skin and giving a gorgeous glow.
“Each of these three peels is personalised to you and your skin concerns by your therapist,” explains Lauren. “We’re seeing some noticeable results after just one treatment, although I recommend a course of 6 to my clients at two week intervals for best results.”
Post-peel advice
When researching IMAGE we were impressed that immediately after your treatment your skin has an instant glow, and there is minimal downtime, unlike many peels.
After each treatment your therapist will advise you on aftercare and recommend a skincare routine.
IMAGE at home skincare routine
“Although we only recently introduced IMAGE we’re hearing some brilliant feedback from our clients.” She adds “These three skincare products in particular are flying out the door, and having used them myself I can understand why. They really do work.”
PREVENTION+ daily matte moisturizer SPF 32+
This oil free daily moisturiser is excellent for oily and acne-prone complexions. It has UVA and UVB protection (essential even on the dullest days) and I find is perfect for a makeup primer. Clients love its sheer matte finish which leaves skin shine free and flawless.
"I have used this without fail for the last 3 years. I love that it has SPF so I don’t have to worry about damage to my skin on a daily basis. It’s not greasy and soaks in pretty fast and leaves a hydrated glow. I find it’s a great base for my makeup."

ORMEDIC balancing lip enhancement complex
“This is a real winner with clients” says Lauren. It gives up to 40% more volume while reducing fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth. If you’re after luscious kissable lips then give this a try.
And this is proving a firm favourite already…
VITAL C hydrating
anti-ageing serum
IMAGE tell us this is their best seller so it’s not surprising it’s proving so popular with Sleeping Beauty clients.
Suitable for all skin types it helps soften the appearance of wrinkles, support collagen, and protect skin against oxidative damage. It acts as a wake-up call on the skin to fight the visible signs of stress and fatigue that commonly appear in ageing skin. And did I mention it smells delicious too!
IMAGE Skincare
I believe this brand it truly is ‘skinspiration’ enthuses Lauren. “Do ask your therapist about IMAGE when you’re next in. I love it and I think you will too.”
