Kate's family and the Kate McIver skin team took part in the Race for Life 10K run and we are proud to say raised an outstanding £2,200 for Cancer Research UK to help fund the ongoing research in looking for a cure for cancer, in memory of our beautiful Kate.
The day of the race was an emotional and heartfelt day and there wasn't a dry eye when our team heard the harrowing stories of the cancer survivors that we ran alongside and talking to the family members and friends who have lost loved ones, all united by the determination to beat Cancer and continue saving as many lives as possible.
Thanks to the organisers Steph Tickle and Sarah from CRUK who invited Kate's parents and daughter Lucia started the race in Sefton Park, Liverpool which was incredible and meant so much to everyone.
The team wanted to continue contributing as much as we could, by raising as much as possible by selling our Kate McIver Skin Serums on the day and donating a percentage of the sales.
We would like to give a special mention to the girls who work at Camilla Rose Salon where our @kate.mciver.skin.clinic facials take place. The girls managed to raise over £2,000 for Cancer Research UK and ran in the memory of Kate and their friends who have been lost to Cancer, our lovely skin therapist Hannah joined in too.
Also, a big shout out to Ceri Boden who is one of Kate's supporters. Kate valued their relationship supporting her throughout her Cancer journey and the group of friends raised over £3.5k.
Our team is 100% dedicated to ensuring that Kate McIver Skin is solely focused on carrying out the wishers of our founder Kate in everything that we do. In doing so The Kate McIver Skin team are offering treatments to make Cancer warriors feel more like themselves and continuing Kate’s legacy of developing a product that has helped so many sufferers of the disease. We have already gifted this treatment to five people who are suffering with cancer and we are looking forward to continue carrying on Kate's legacy by helping other individuals.
The treatment offer's patient’s an hour of pampering and will rejuvenate the client with Kate’s Magic and through our facialist Hannah's healing hands . There will be one appointment per week for an individual to receive the treatment and if you wish to nominate a loved one please contact us at ‘customercare@katemciverskin.co.uk'.
Our team would like to give a special thanks to The Chester Standard for publishing a newspaper article discussing how we are continuing to help people who are fighting Cancer.
We will continue, as a brand, to help individuals fighting Cancer by providing a 10% donation from every Kate McIver Secret Weapon Original Serum to Coppafeel, an organisation that raises awareness of breast cancer. Coppafeel is sadly so close to our companies heart due to losing our beautiful founder Kate to Breast Cancer.
Throughout Kate's diagnosis she wanted nothing more but to help other individuals suffering with Cancer, as she would publicly post remedies and advice on developments within Cancer such as; sharing a post about the benefits of drinking breast milk to help patients who are suffering with chemotherapy. With this in mind, we are constantly on the lookout to share posts that include cancer survivors to spread hope and to continue sharing informative posts in order to help and spread awareness of possible remedies to continue Kate's legacy of helping people through her brand.
Some of the many individuals who inspire us because of their courage and honesty we repost on our Instagram page because we love to share their energy and they also have so much bloody good advice for those going through the shit is Cancer..
@lisasarmylisawells @coppafeelpeople
@ellen_danielle also inspires us greatly as she has created the brand @wearebravecollective that is "a purveyors of merch inspired by rock culture, spreading the word on cancer in young adults". An amazing clothing brand that spreads awareness and shares an important message that resognates with us all.
There is no limit when it comes to those who inspire us and we continue to find individuals for us to carry on supporting through our brand.
Lastly, we would like to give a massive thank you to the continued support from the media as it is continually over whelming and we would like to thank all the news papers that have covered Kate's story and legacy ...

During Pregnancy a woman's skin can suffer with the varying levels of hormones produced. This can commonly lead to pregnant women developing a skin condition called Melasma or also known as 'the mask of pregnancy'. Pregnant women can also suffer with troubled skin such as acne due to the hormones. Our Kate McIver Skin serum is fusty becoming renewed for helping pregnant women with their skin.
This was defiantly the case for fashion and beauty influencer Jessica Hayes. Jessica is pregnant with her first child and we interviewed her to discuss all things skin, becoming a mother and meeting her new baby boy. Jessica swears by our product and has been using the serum throughout her pregnancy and publicly declaring the benefits to her skin due to using the Kate McIver Limited Edition serum.
We like to wish Jessica and her partner congratulations on the birth of baby Presley who is absolutely adorable!!
See below for the interview:
Jessica Hayes tells all why she loves the Secret Weapon Serum - click here!
The next pregnant lady who absolutely loves our serum is Hope Hulland. Hope is 38 weeks pregnant and decided to use the Kate McIver Limited edition serum to see if it helps. Hope was correct and astonished by the results and she writes "just wanted to say that literally the serum is amazing! Im now 38 weeks pregnant and literally my skin at the beginning of my pregnancy was horrendous! But now completely clear and I have also seen a massive improvement in my acne scars, thank you so much".
As you can see from the before and after pictures below Hope has regained her radiant and glowing skin due to the use of our Kate McIver Limited Edition Serum.
The list of pregnant customers who swear by our product is endless but another before and after picture we have received is this one which totally blew us away!
Kayleigh Park stated "My heart is racing posting this but since having Freddie and being on different types of contraception my skin has been really difficult to manage due to the uncontrollable acne but since finding out I’m pregnant this time the acne really fired up and got really really bad, painful & very embarrassing I didn’t want to leave the house it was horrible. I couldn’t look at myself for a long time, no makeup up or filter would cover it up. It disgusted me. The left photo was me at my absolute worst and the right photo is today. I couldn’t be any happier with the results @katemciverskin works magic!! Highly recommend for everyone! I can’t thankyou enough ❤️❤️”
The above pictures of our clients used The Secret Weapon Limited edition. The Limited edition Serum has been created to target problematic skin and the ingredient included create a combination that reduces inflammation and heals damaged skin.
One of the ingredients within the Limited edition Serum that makes it a perfect product to help Melasma that often occurs in pregnancies is the use of Tumeric.
Here is an article that discusses the benefits of turmeric for the skin:
Turmeric the benefits for your Skin
The Secret Weapon Original Serum is for combination and dry skin and often ladies experience increased sensitivity and dryness throughout their pregnancy and if you don't suffer from Acne or Spots this is the Serum to choose is a very hydrating formula making it an amazing moisturising treatment to help keep the skin glowing as the serum is lightweight enough for all skin types and without feeling heavy or greasy on the skin.
One of the most prominent ingredients within the product to help pregnant skin, is the use of Vitamin E. Vitamin E oil prevents and repairs free radical damage and when applied over brown spots on the skin it will help lighten and smooth the skin and encourage cell regeneration.
Here is another article that discusses the advantages of Vitamin E oil.
We hope to hear more stories from you in the future about the amazing Secret Weapon Serum.

We are over the moon to announce that Kate McIver skin has been featured in Cheshire Life as their “must buy” for June!!
Kate McIver Skin Serum is going from strength to strength as the reviews keep flooding in... We are looking forward to featuring in more glossy's over the forthcoming months with the launch of our new products and celebrating the success of Kate's hero products the Secret Weapons serums.
Cheshire life have recently discussed the Secret Weapon Serum as being their “must buy” for June while highlighting to their readers how important our product is and how Kate McIver Skin is skincare for a cause..
We wonder what The Real Housewives of Cheshire think about our product? We have a few buying the product in secret and one who is very vocal about her love for the skin product @magali one of the Original House Wives of Cheshire.
Kate McIver skin loves to celebrate and support high achieving businesses ran by women. One amazing woman-run brand, we stumbled upon and would like to give credit to is CODE Beautiful, set up by sisters, Sarah and Emma Cross. CODE Beautiful is a British, cruelty- free makeup company that was started in Manchester in 2014 and sets out to create world-leading beauty essentials. Sarah outlines her own success and showcases her talent of being a successful woman and discusses her company’s journey which is similar to our company and hence why we resonate so much with CODE Beautiful.
Sarah writes:
“Being a strong woman means keeping it real, turning your thoughts into things and of course empowering others. Growing a niche brand like CODE Beautiful with my own cash and going against corporates who spend millions on advertising is a constant challenge, but resilience, self-belief and amazing inner circle has allowed me to fulfil my dreams and hopefully inspire others to do the same.”
CODE Beautiful is dedicated to creating cruelty-free & vegan makeup and was Beauty Shortlist Awards winner for 2019. Sarah has dedicated her time to refine and focus on the formula of the company’s products to ensure that they perform to the best of their ability and as a result, has created four hero products, that their customers swear by.
CODE Beautiful’s Lip liner, Lip Plumping Treatment and, Volumising Lengthening Mascara are 100% vegan and their Pre-Mascara Lash Plumper, CODE FFL will be vegan certified by the end of 2019.
Vegan products are becoming extremely more popular within the beauty industry due to their cruelty-free ways of testing, meaning the products are not tested on animals, and the products contain fewer harsh chemicals within their formula.
Kate McIver Skin and CODE Beautiful are teaming up together to provide a competition for a lucky winner to win all four products from the CODE Beautiful range and the winner will also receive Kate McIver Skin’s 30ml Limited edition Serum and a 30ml Original edition Serum. This competition will be on our Instagram on the 30th with how to apply to win. We will run this on Facebook and Instagram… both brands to provide 2 sets of products.

Due to Kate's devastating passing, we decided to hold a candlelight vigil to show our respect and love for Kate.
We would like to thank every single individual who lit a candle all over the world in remembrance of our beautiful angel Kate and for every other individual taken too soon by cancer.
The heartbreaking reality was that Kate's new candle had arrived Friday and she passed Saturday..
It was so overwhelming to realise how many people have been touched by Kate's story, her message has literally reached the other end of the world, people were lighting candles in: Japan, USA, Australia and New Zealand to name but a few countries.
Her family were so touched, and the Instagram message below shows how moved they were by all of the online support for Kate.
Kate's family wrote "On behalf of the McIver family that I am so privileged to be part of, an important but brief thanks to all of you for lighting your candles this evening and for your ongoing support at an unbelievably difficult time during which words are difficult to find. Tonight, and every minute of every day, we remember Kate, our beautiful soul who filled our lives with so much laughter, so many happy memories and gave us our treasure, Lucia, and we miss her every single day."
Kate McIver's Secret Weapon Serum has changed the confidence of so many people who have struggled with their skin, all of the people joined in with heartfelt messages, sharing how she had impacted their lives with her serums and have felt very much part of her challenging, honest journey.
Celebrities who love the Secret Weapon have become so fond of Kate too that many joined in lighting their candle and sharing to their followers enabling Kate's brave story to reach to millions of people. Models, Soap Stars, Top MUA's, Instagram Influencers, Reality Stars, Bloggers, Retailers, Radio Show hosts all made the remembrance burn bight and show how social media can be used for the good raising global awareness of a young lady who had everything to live for yet was robbed by the evil disease cancer..
Lisa Snowdon, Cara Kilby, ScouseMA Jessica Hayes, Gaby Roslin, Doll Beauty, Kenneth Soh MUA, Natasha Hamilton, Chloe Lewis, Steph Waring, Ross Adams to name a few..
Emotions were stirred, people took stock of what really is important, a lot of people took time to check their breasts for lumps and the majority thought about their own family and their loved ones they have lost to cancer.
Kate's legacy will live on, her skin care brand is going from strength to strength and her contribution to cancer awareness will continue to be at the heart of everything we do.
The very gorgeous Gaby Roslin shared her condolences today with Kate's husband Chris, family and friends on Kate's Instagram page and we thought it was an apt time to reflect back on Kate's live radio interview with the lady she thought was "Top of the Pops!"
Kate and her team would follow Gaby on social media and she loved how real she was and the antics she would gets up to with what she finds in her wardrobe..
What an incredible achievement to have been noticed on the BBC something Kate was literally stoked about!
Big thank you Gaby for being a supporter of Kate and thank you for tweeting about our candle light vigil in remembrance of Kate x
We speak on Kate's behalf because as most of you will know by now, our beautiful friend has passed on and we are endevouring to maintain Kate's wishes, which was to ensure her business legacy lives on for her beloved family..
We had planned to enjoy the moment when we told Kate she was in the MainOnline, if she didn't get to the article first that is..
Extra hands were organised to help manage orders, everyone volunteered to support as we all would do anything for her..
There was no definite guarantee but we remained very optimistic..
So we waited on Thursday for it to go live and it didn't..
Friday the same..
Saturday came and we woke up eagerly checking again and still nothing..
Then we were faced with the dreadful news that took all the wind out of our sails
Whilst walking around in a daze were alerted that ironically Kate's article was online..
Albeit we know this was absolutely what Kate wanted we felt a very bitter sweet feeling of absolute heartache and overwhelming sadness..
So now we feel the need to mark this occasion in her blog as a time stamp for this incredible achievement within Kate's remarkable career and for her thriving business.
This is what she would of wanted to happen..
It's a milestone that she dreamed of and believed would happen, along with stocking in Space NK, being in Cosmo, being used by Victoria Beckham and the Kardashians (every week this was something she spoke about) along with and more importantly to her, raising monies for young Cancer patients in a similar situation, the list was endless and well within the reach our Kate who had more tenacity and drive in her little finger than most in their whole body.
When we both looked at the potential opportunity for the brand being in the MailOnline, with it's daily avg unique browsers of circa 11,459,894 we both screamed with delight, and although Kate was feeling very poorly this news was the music she needed to hea..
Kate McIver and her team would like to thank all the fabulous team at the MailOnline, in particularly Femail team journalist Maisie Bovingdon and especially Liverpool Lady Ellie Phillips.
The night before Kate is laid to rest we will be lighting our Kate McIver candles as a mark of respect for the light she brought to everyones life.
This time will be arranged and shared in the next couple of days, if any one would like to join us that would be so incredible..
Kate's light will remain forever bright for all who were lucky enough to know her.
