SKIN LAB 



How are you and tell me a little about yourself?

Im currently 29 and a mum to Ava. I opened my Skin Clinic, Skin Lab Cambridge in November 2022 so just about 2 years ago now. 

What got you into skin?

I think having problematic skin myself both as a teenager and then postpartum, I really wanted to be able to help my clients see through the noise of the skincare industry by offering honest advice and treatments that really be life changing. I absolutely love seeing a clients confidence grow as they become more comfortable in their skin. 

What is your favourite all time skin brand? 

Highstreet - I have to say La Roche Posay have some amazing options. Higher end - I love Skin Better Science and Medik8.
 
What do you enjoy doing in your free time? 

Ive recently really gotten into Pilates so I cannot wait to take part in Freckled Club sessions. I always try and get my steps in so a hot girl walk after the school run are a must. I also love spending time with my daughter, she loves the cinema and girly shopping days. 


Your go to cocktail? 

I have recently discovered a Tomatini, its a fresher version of a Bloody Mary. If you haven't tried I would recommend 100%! 

Best place you've visited and why? 

My favourite place is probably Ibiza, I love the Old Town and the boho vibes, it is always really inspiring with fashion and beauty as well! 

What's the best treatment you'd say you offer in terms of skin ageing? 

Microneedling is amazing. It increases collagen production 400x what your body would naturally. I also use a medical grade mesotherapy serum during microneedling session which imitates the results of botox by lifting, firming and plumping the skin.

Your go to makeup brand? 

I am obsessed with Nudestix, the bronzer in bondi I use as a bronzer and on my eyes. 3 sticks can do your whole face!! 

What is your favourite skin routine for blemish prone skin?

The Cliniccare pure range I use in clinic is amazing. They do a homecare range which is antibacterial and anti inflammatory without stripping the skin. It's great for blemish prone and other inflammatory conditions such as rosacea too. 

What is your essential skin product for Autumn / Winter? 

La Roche Posay cicaplast B5 cream is perfect for hydrating, a protective barrier during the colder months. Such an affordable cream too that you can pick up on your high street. 

Your go to coffee order? (one of my favourite questions to ask!)

I have recently became a matcha girly! I love vanilla matcha latte.

What is your go to Autumn / Winter perfume? 

Tom Ford Santal Blush is the perfect A/W perfume if you love sandalwood but want something with a bit more depth and musky finish.

Fave place to shop skincare and beauty products online? 

I have been loving exploring Korean skincare from online stores such as k-beauty.co.uk I'm so glad it's easier to access some of these amazing brands now! I love Anua at the moment! 

Your own skincare routine every day? 

I always make sure I use an antioxidant and Vitamin C in the morning as well as SPF. In the evening I double cleanse, I try spend 30 seconds massaging in the cleanser and getting my circulation and lymphatic system working. I use my Medik8 crystal retinal religiously every night followed by the cicaplast B5 cream. 


Your take on Wellness and what it means to you.. 

I think wellness is a lifestyle. A way of feeling like the best version of yourself everyday. We only get one body and I think looking after ourselves means more energy and getting the most out of the day!

Hey! First of all, thank you so so much for your support, and even reading this! I am feeling so very lucky to have such a good support network, and I really hope you enjoy my classes and other services I have to offer in the near future! My name is Niomi Stromberg, I am a mum of two girls (5&7) who are my whole reason why. I want them to grow up and see a strong healthy mum, mind and body and to follow in my footsteps, knowing that they can achieve anything they want in life, whatever that may be. I have always had a very good work ethic, there was a period where I used to work 9-5 in an office, then walk to the train station, and work 7-10pm in London near on 5 times a week.. I put so much effort into what I set my mind to, which I’m very grateful for, or else I wouldn’t have gotten to where I am today in my career. I have dealt with major things, good and bad, all whilst working for myself. I always forced myself out of my comfort zone and said yes to opportunities that usually ...
