Have you ever wondered how a Holistic Esthetician approaches skincare?

There are several foundations that a Holistic Esthetician will use to build their skin care philosophy. Personally, my specialty is in what's called Corneotherapy. This method was brought to light by the co-inventor of Retin-A, a dermatologist named Dr Kligman. The research showed that all skin problems (acne, rosacea, dehydration, irritation, and YES, even aging) stemmed from an upset in the Stratum Corneum, which is the outer surface of your skin. It was concluded that a healthy and well functioning skin surface was the absolute key to healthy skin as a whole. 

The skin barrier is defensive by nature. It has two simple responsibilities: 1) to control moisture levels, and 2) to keep environmental microbes, pathogens, UV and pollution out of the body. When its mission is compromised you will begin to see the very undesired results in your skin. When it remains compromised and insulted over and over again with harsh products, treatments, neglect and medical interventions like lasers, the skin breaks down, begins to prematurely age and loses its radiance. 

My job is to educate and support you and your lovely skin back to optimal function. I do this by introducing simple, clean and long term, results-oriented solutions. Most people have greatly complicated their skin care regime. It should be very clean and simple, with no more than 4 products on board at a time to support the skin and its needs. 

My first-time facial clients always receive a 302 Professional Skincare take home kit with their facial. You will leave your first appointment with a fresh and simple approach to helping your skin!
