Wellness By Melissa is a private skincare studio in Bergvliet, Cape Town, offering professional facials and advanced skin treatments in a calm and welcoming environment.

I’m Melissa Younghusband, a qualified Somatologist with over 20 years of experience in professional skincare. My career has included advanced training in England, work at Dermalogica’s flagship salon in London, and treating clients aboard luxury cruise liners.

My approach focuses on supporting and strengthening the skin before progressing to more targeted treatments when needed. This helps create healthier skin and more sustainable results over time.

Education and guidance form an important part of the process. During the early stages and whenever needed, I help clients understand their skin and how to care for it between treatments.

Some treatments are deeply relaxing, while others are more technical and corrective, but all are delivered with careful attention and genuine care.
