My Philosophy on skin

Here is my belief on skin, it's pretty simple. The best way to achieve healthy skin through treatments; we have to encourage cell renewal- by that I mean getting rid of dead skin cells and then enabling healthy cell renewal. The way to do this is exfoliation, then hydration.

Part 1: Exfoliation is the answer to any skin type, age and skin condition. Exfoliation has to be balanced with hydration, otherwise the skin can be damaged by over stripping it. The constant cycle we should put the skin through is "Strip and Repair". 

Part 2: Hydration, nourish, repair.  Balance is the key to achieving healthy skin. The beginning of my sessions start with a mild-moderate enzyme or acid peel (if the skin can handle a peel) to exfoliate unhealthy, unbalanced, damaged and problematic skin. Once the skin is exfoliated I will apply 3-4 more treatments to nourish, hydrate and rebuild healthy skin cells. 

Each clients session is customized to their own skincare needs.  

Part 3: Education on the biology of the skin. Educating my clients is extremely important to me.  How can a client treat their skin properly at home without the proper knowledge? The science that backs the skincare world is always innovating and changing. I will never know everything about skin but as a promise to my clients I will do everything I can to continue my education. I will share what I learn with anyone willing to listen.

Part 4: Relax, let go and Repair: While treatments are processing on the face, I massage my clients to help them let go of old stagnant energy. I truly put intention behind my massage and touch. My desire is to share positive, healthy energy with people so we can all become a little kinder to ourselves and others. We deserve this. This added TLC isn't super common in the skincare field but I believe touch is so powerful, so let's utilize this tool.  A session with me is so much more then a facial, as my clients tell me "this is a total mind, body & spirit experience". Not only do you leave feeling like you just had an incredible, healing massage but you also leave with healthy, glowing skin. Once again...balance - inside and out.
