WHY NIMUE?
With over 30 years of experience, Bodylines can be trusted to look after your skin’s health.
Just over 2 years ago, we researched and invested in a results driven skin care range.
We wanted a number of things from this new range and Nimue was the only one that could deliver.
Here are the stand out differences-
* A range that is powerful enough to make changes deep within the skin but gentle enough to be used in pregnancy.
* A range that provides us with transformations that are life changing, but create zero down time after peels.
* A range that has many options but one that is simple enough to achieve your best skin with just 7 core products.
* A range that looks gorgeous on our shelf but is green in its approach to recycling and a refill system
* A range that has vast and effective professional treatment plan but is extremely effective with just home care.
* Derma Cosmeceutical but also cruelty free.
Nimue has ticked all of our boxes and more.
It was developed in 1994 by leading skincare scientists and plastic surgeons aimed at the medical market for pre and post facial surgeries.
Since then, Nimue has evolved into a globally recognised professional skincare brand.
Nimue treats the cause and not the symptoms of a skin condition.
We have clients that are self confessed product junkies and they have been blown away with Nimue as a brand. (watch out for the reviews)
WILL NIMUE WORK FOR ME?
We feel that there is a Nimue skin plan for everyone.
All ages and all skin concerns.
(see our youth range here)
Do you have pigment patches?
Do you react to products regularly?
Do you suffer constant breakouts?
Do you suffer oily and/or dry patches?
Is your skin ageing?
Nimue has a unique way of looking at the skin, with 4 groups of classification.
The primary goal of Nimue is to help you achieve your healthiest skin, and the majority of skins fall into the Environmentally Damaged group.
This can apply to anyone aged 18+
The skin rejuvenation process starts to slow down around the age of 20.
Young skins can still suffer environmental damage, free radical damage is caused by late nights, smoking, alcohol and caffeine.
Students and young professionals may have firm skin, but they often suffer breakouts and/or oil imbalances, and are often exposed to higher levels of pollution and blue light from screens.
As skin matures, the rejuvenation process slows even more and the biggest concerns in this age group is more likely to be loose skin, lines and dullness.
All of these skin types fall into this bracket and need a boost to regulate and balance the skin and allow it to reach its optimum skin health.
Your 1st step is to have a full consultation, in person or online (book here) with one of our Skin Experts and they will decide which classification your skin is in.
If there is no other problems like pigmentation, sensitivity or acne, your skin will be classified as Environmentally damaged.
If you are still in your 20’s and 30’s the emphasis will be on balancing your oil production and boosting your anti oxidants to prevent lifestyle choices from impacting your skin.
If you are in your 40’s or above, our focus will be on rejuvenation of your skin to thin down the epidermis and plump up the dermis.
Active ingredients in Nimue will accelerate or stimulate a physiological function and create structural improvement in the skin.
Imagine your skin is like a mattress (the dermis) with a topper (epidermis) laid on top.
When we are young the dermis is plump with lots of effective springs supporting it (collagen) and the epidermis is thin and smooth, no lumps and bumps (wrinkles)
The skin cells are born at the bottom of the epidermis and travel up to the top layer and slough off as dead skin cells.
As we age, this process slows down and the addition of exposure to UV light, the dermis gets thinner, the collagen springs become loose and weak, and the epidermis gets thicker.
These things combined, create less firm, duller, thickened and lined skin.
Rejuvenation is the act of speeding the cell renewal up.
This can strengthen the dermis, creating plumpness and thin down the epidermis, bringing back smoother more radiant skin.
WILL I SEE RESULTS QUICKLY?
Traditional cosmetic beauty products have little effect on changing or rejuvenating the skin and are restricted to beautifying on a superficial level.
A derma-Cosmeceutical product effectively assists in reducing the signs of damage in the skin and ultimately helps develop a healthier skin through active skin rejuvenation.
Nimue is a new generation derma-cosmeceutical: active skin treatments and products with pharmaceutical like benefits that are able to affect the structure and biological functioning of the skin, resulting in a healthier, optimally functioning skin with visible results.
Cosmetic skin cleansers irritate and strip skin of its acid mantle (which is why your skin feels tight after cleansing), and rich moisturisers create a “negative feedback cycle” – a dependency on external moisturisers instead of helping the skin regulate its own hydration levels.
Nimue’s new generation derma cosmeceutical products gently but effectively cleanse and naturally exfoliate the skin, and the day and night creams are formulated to re-educate the skin, and are customised to specific concerns, to assist in healing and restructuring the skin.
In the 1st 7-10 days of using the Nimue core programme, there will be noticeable changes in your skin.
How noticeable will depend on how active (or not) your previous products were.
The less active, the more noticeable the changes.
These changes can include excess oil, dry and flaky patches, some redness, and possible breakouts.
This is called the “interactive phase” and with communication with us, we will guide you through any adjustments needed to come through this stage and embrace your newly healthy skin.
TEENAGE SKIN PROBLEMS
Nimue’s skin health programme for youth concentrates on the 10-18 year old age group and restores skin health through the regulation and correction of skin functions.
Teenagers that have healthy skins with little to no breakouts would use the facial wash, the daily moisturiser and the SPF. This will cleanse and exfoliate the skin, removing any impurities, leaving it soft, smooth and protected.
For young skins that are experiencing regular breakouts we would recommend the Y-skin facial wash, and the clearing moisturiser. There is also a purifying youth mask and an active blemish stick. The clay based mask rapidly absorbs excess oil, removes impurities and has an anti-inflammatory action to soothe irritation caused by breakouts.
The active blemish stick can be used by both skin types to control individual break outs, while soothing irritation.
We offer facial treatments for young skins, and the best one to start with is the Teenage Facial and Skincare Lesson.
This makes a great present for any young person, female and male, especially those that are struggling with breakouts.
If the breakouts are more severe, please don’t hesitate to contact us to book in for a full consultation.
There is a range of products and treatments that we can offer for young problematic and acne prone skin.
WHICH FACIAL SHOULD I START WITH?
If you are new to Nimue, we can offer you a range of professional treatments straight away.
Nimue professional treatments enhance the efficacy of your home care products and accelerate the skin rejuvenation process, which delivers dramatic results.
We will always start with a thorough consultation (this can happen online or over the phone if preferred)
NIMUE THERAPEUTIC FACIAL
A results orientated, relaxing treatment customised to your specific skin requirements with all of the essentials including;
Cleanse, exfoliate, gentle steam, massage, a serum and a mask
NIMUE THERMAL DETOX TREATMENT
A 4-in 1 deep cleansing, detoxifying and exfoliating treatment with a unique combination of a foaming action and thermo-sensory mechanism to improve skin oxygenation.
This flash treatment decreases skin impurities and excess oil, refines the pores, softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and leaves the skin more radiant.
After your chosen 1st facial, we will finish with some advice on your next steps.
PHASE 1 – You will need to be on the 6 core products of your skin classification for 4 weeks.
PHASE 2 – You will then add Active Lotion or Active Gel to your routine.
PHASE 3 – After 2 weeks on Active lotion/gel, (a minimum of 6 weeks from day 1) we can move you onto the Advanced Facial Peels and Resurfacers.
So, you can have your Therapeutic facial or Thermal detox from Day 1, and through out the next 4-6 weeks, we will be in communication with you, guiding you through any interactive stages that your skin may go through.
The Nimue journey is an exciting one, but it is slow and gentle to avoid the “down time” often experienced with chemical peels.
ADVANCED PEELS AND RESURFACERS
When you have been on Phase 2 for a minimum of 2 weeks, you can move onto Phase 3 which is the advanced Nimue treatments.

NIMUE SMART RESURFACER TREATMENT
Nimue’s newest Peel is the smart resurfacer. It is unique in that it is oil based and waterless.
It provides all the benefit of a medium depth peel (only doctors can perform a medium depth peel) but with none of the side effects or downtime.
Nimue’s core ethos is “maximum stimulation with minimum irritation”, tingling and discomfort are minimal with the Smart Resurfacer Peel.
Chemical peels are well known professional skin treatments and are very popular for the results that they deliver, but they often come with side effects such as redness and inflammation.
This is why some clients are reluctant to try chemical peels.
The Smart resurfacer peel allows us to deliver the results clients want with none of those side effects that are often come hand in hand with those results.
All of the above advanced peels will be prescribed for you in a personalised programme.
They will be prescribed according to your skin classification and the number of treatments will depend on whether your skin is classified as mild or severe.
