About Katharine
One of the nation’s most in demand super-facialists, Katharine Mackenzie Paterson has been treating skin for over 20 years.
Having grown up on the beauty counters of the UK’s most popular brands before studying for a CIDESCO diploma in aesthetics, and climbing the ranks at one of London’s most prestigious day spas before founding KMP Skin in 2014, Katharine has an unparalleled insight into what clients really want from their skincare.
Her secret sauce, as it were, is her results-driven approach that centres on the precise point where tech meets touch®. She treats each client using a unique prescription of innovative skin devices alongside her signature intuitive facial massage technique, forgoing the empty conveyor belt of insta-famous fads in favour of efficacious, research-backed formulas and technologies.
She’s a firm believer in the bespoke, tailoring each skin ritual to the face she sees before her. Her treatments are thorough, comprehensive and wholly holistic; she considers lifestyle factors like stress levels and sleep quality just as important as skincare regimes.
A well-renowned skin expert, Katharine has built an impressive client base including notable VIP faces and her expertise is regularly called upon by the nation’s leading editorial titles. Her unique technique has seen her featured in ‘best facial’ lists by the likes of Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar and as one of the world’s leading beauty destinations by The Financial Times’ How to Spend It.
Katharine has served as a U.K brand ambassador for the prestige French aromatherapy brand Declèor, has worked with official skincare partner, Armani Beauty for the BAFTA awards, as well with skincare brands such as Tatcha, Allies of Skin, Merit, Fresh & Beauty Pie on various projects.

From her bespoke signature facials to more results-driven skin treatments such as peels and microneedling, Katharine’s menu of comprehensive skin treatments is intentionally vague. Each session is tailored wholly to what your unique skin needs at that precise moment, combining research-backed technologies from the cutting edge of skin innovation with tried-and-tested skincare formulations and restorative, intuitive massage techniques.
