In conversation with...
Donna Bartoli
We sat down with Donna, skincare, holistic wellness & personal empowerment expert.
She’s one of the Brighton-locals we’re inspired by and here’s what she had to say...
What originally inspired you to get into the skin, inner health, and wellness sphere?
It was a personal journey. In my late 30s, I hit a point where my health, skin, and energy felt depleted. I started deep-diving into whole foods, hormonal
balance, and skin health from the inside out. The more I learned, the more I realised how connected everything is - our skin is simply a reflection of
what’s happening internally. That led me to retrain, study, and ultimately turn my passion into my profession.
How would you explain what you do?
I bridge the gap between skincare and wellness. As a facialist, health coach, and skin expert, I help people understand that great skin isn’t just about
what you put on it - it’s about what you feed it, how you support your body, and the daily habits that nourish from within.
Where do you usually find inspiration for your work?
Through research, experience, and conversations with my community. I love exploring cutting-edge skin science, but I also draw from traditional
wisdom - what we eat, how we move, and how we care for ourselves daily has the biggest impact.
You have a day away from work, what would be your ideal way to spend it?
Somewhere by the sea, phone off, fresh air, great food, and no agenda. A slow morning, a long walk, nourishing meals, and an infrared sauna - simple,
but restorative.
What are your Brighton recommendations? Both for wellness and in general?
For wellness, I love Beach Box Spa, Cafe Marmalade for nourishing food, and The Florence Road Market for great local produce. For a slower pace, a
walk along the undercliff path or a dip in the sea is my idea of perfection.
