Alison Rodgers - Afterglow+ Founder

About Me

Hello, I’m Alison, the founder of Afterglow+

I’m passionate about helping people feel confident and comfortable in their own skin.

I completed my training with the MSTA UK advanced training academy, where I successfully completed an intensive anatomy and physiology course, along with comprehensive practical training in medical grade facial treatments including microneedling, dermaplaning and chemical skin peels. My training was supported by renowned brands Dermalogica & Dermaceutic. At MSTA, there’s a strong emphasis on clinical procedures, safety and practical techniques all centred around client safety and delivering exceptional results.

I have always had a personal passion for facial skin treatments and when I turned 40 my skin took a dramatic turn and I was diagnosed with Rosacea, a skin condition that until that time I had never heard of.  It impacted my confidence dramatically and I always felt embarrassed about and stressed about how my skin looked which in turn made the condition worse.  Many of my early attempts taking and applying; antibiotics and topical antibiotics personally didn’t make a difference.

Positive impact on confidence and well-being

It worked for me!

Fortunately, through research, product testing and advice I found Dermalogica worked for me!

Sticking religiously to a twice daily skincare regime using Dermalogica products my rosacea is extremely mild to non existent, accompanied with regular chemical peels and microneedling treatments this has been paramount to my skin journey.  I'm now able to feel and see the difference and feel confident! My mission is driven by my own skin journey, now 10 years on and turning 50 last year and focusing on keeping my skin as healthy as possible.

This led to my passion in the skincare industry so I can make a difference in others skin journey. Whether its facial treatments for prevention, ageing, hyperpigmentation, acne, scaring, rosacea, skin analysis and product recommendations.  It's not all about vanity, its about enhancing overall well-being and self-care. At Afterglow+ I'm dedicated to making your skin healthy, refreshed and rejuvenated.
