Team
Dr Anjali Mahto, founder of Self London, is a leading Consultant Dermatologist and author of best-selling book, The Skincare Bible (Penguin Life), which has been translated into 12 languages. Her passion and determination stem from her own life-long issues with skin, which have given her a unique insight into the importance of nutrition, physical activity and mental health.
This inspired her to set up Self London, a clinic directed towards empowering people of all ages with the tools they need to take control of their skin and wellbeing, and make a difference in their lives.
Alongside her medical degree, Dr Mahto has a BSc in Pharmacology, a diploma in Nutrition Science, and is a qualified yoga instructor.

Her work and expertise have been recognised in the national press, with awards for best dermatologist from Marie Claire and Tatler. She also judges skincare, wellness and beauty awards for numerous publications.
