Luckily for you, we’ve rounded up some of the finest places in Newcastle city centre to get the best products and treatments that'll have you glowing and feeling great.
Rituals, Eldon Square
Rituals adds a strong element of ancient spirituality to its skin science, and keeps things eco-friendly too. Its Clear & Conscious skincare range is more than 93% natural and uses plant extracts wherever possible. The products are broken down into four groups: Purify cleanses, Glow is for skin condition (and uses bakuchiol), there’s Ageless and Hydrate… You get the idea.

There’s usually a great offer or two available too.

Although perhaps most widely known for their laser hair removal, Laser Clinics offer a comprehensive range of skincare treatments too. Their highly trained and skilled staff can assess your exact needs and provide the non-invasive procedure you need, whether that’s dealing with acne scars or blackheads. Head to their Northumberland Street Clinic if you need microdermabrasion, skin needling, pigmentation removal and more. They also stock Institut skin care products too.

As with Fenwick, John Lewis sells a vast array of skincare products in its cosmetics section, from some of the biggest brands around – Clarins, Clinique, Charlotte Tilbury and the rest - but also offers a broad range of in-store treatments, for women and men. Whether you want a rejuvenating facial or a skin consultation, John Lewis can help.
