CleanSkin Med Spa

Summer routine is over. Fall is for getting back to basics. 🍂

Cooler air and indoor heat change what your skin needs. This season, I'm keeping it simple with my Cleanse, Correct, Prevent approach.

Cleanse gently so skin never feels tight. Correct the one concern that matters most right now. Prevent new damage with sunblock every morning, rain or shine.

Because this season's dresses were made to be seen from behind. 🌿

Weddings, galas, garden parties, that little black dress moment you've been waiting for. Our Back Facial is a deep cleanse, exfoliation, and hydration treatment for the skin you can't reach on your own. Perfect prep before you slip into something backless.

$10 off all back facials this September.

Your lash lift is set within 24 hours, and what you do in that window decides how well it holds.

Keep them dry. That means no steam, no swimming, no hot shower spray directly on your face, and no mascara. After the first day, brush them through each morning with a clean spoolie and use a conditioning serum at night so the curl stays soft rather than brittle.

Then leave them alone and enjoy them. Come back in six to eight weeks, once your natural lashes have cycled out.

Most of what makes a wax comfortable happens before you get on the table.

Hair needs to be about a quarter inch long, roughly two weeks of growth. Any shorter and there is nothing for the wax to hold onto, which means more passes over the same skin. Pause your retinoids and acids on that area about five days out, exfoliate gently the day before, and skip lotion the morning of.

Afterward, give it a day before heat, sun or a hard workout. Your skin has just been through something and it will thank you for the pause.

Treatment changes your skin. Dryness, sensitivity, texture, reactions to products you used for years without a problem.

I am a Certified Oncology Aesthetician and a Preferred Practitioner with the Society for Oncology Esthetics, which means I adjust every protocol to what your skin can handle right now, at this point in your treatment, and change it again as that shifts.

You do not have to give up feeling cared for while you are going through it.

The question I get most often is how often someone actually needs a facial.

Skin renews itself on roughly a 28 day cycle. When we treat on that rhythm, every four to six weeks, each appointment builds on the last one instead of starting over. That is the difference between skin that looks good for a week and skin that changes.

If once a month is not realistic right now, tell me. I would rather build a plan around your real life than hand you one you cannot keep.

Chest, back, shoulders, brows. I wax all of it, for all of you.

There is no separate room and no separate standard of care. You book, you come in, we talk about what you want, and I take it from there. No commentary, no awkwardness, no assumptions about why you are here.

If you have been putting it off because you were not sure it was for you, it is.

A lash lift is not extensions. There is no glue, nothing added, and nothing sitting on your natural lash.

The Elleebana lift curls what you already have from the base, and the tint deepens the color so the whole lash line reads darker and more open. It lasts six to eight weeks, and for most of that time you can skip mascara entirely.

If you have been waking up early to do your lashes, this is the appointment that gives you that time back.

Your appointment with me is one hour out of about 720 in a month. The other 719 are doing most of the work.

That is not me talking you out of coming in. It is me telling you why I ask what your mornings actually look like before I recommend anything. A five step routine you abandon in a week will do less for your skin than two products you use every day without thinking about it.

Come in, and then let me build something you will actually keep doing.
