Healthy Skin Spa

Consider this your permission to be unavailable for an hour.

Phone away. Heated facial bed. Warm towels. Pumpkin. Marshmallow. Scalp massage. Neck and shoulders. Hands and arms.

That’s The Cozy Skin Facial.

I intentionally left the devices out of this one because sometimes adding more isn’t the point.

Sometimes the luxury is having an entire hour where absolutely nothing is expected of you.

60 minutes | $125

Available through October only.

There’s a reason dermaplaning is my most requested service.

It’s one of those treatments where you can see and feel the difference almost immediately.

Dermaplaning uses a professional blade to gently remove the outermost buildup of dead skin cells along with fine vellus hair, leaving the skin feeling incredibly smooth and looking fresh and bright.

Clients love it because it can help:

• Smooth the look and feel of skin
• Remove that soft “peach fuzz”
• Give skin a brighter, more polished appearance
• Allow makeup to sit beautifully on the skin
• Create a smooth canvas for the rest of your facial

And no, your hair will not grow back darker or thicker. Dermaplaning doesn’t change the structure of the hair follicle or the type of hair that grows from it.

What I especially love is how easily I can incorporate dermaplaning into a customized facial when it makes sense for your skin.

Sometimes simple really is that good.

If you’ve never tried dermaplaning before, there’s a reason so many Healthy Skin Spa clients request it again and again.

October starts tomorrow, and the treatment room is ready.

This month you get to choose your mood.

Full Moon Muse: dermaplaning, red LED, lymphatic facial massage, ice globes and that fresh fall skin feeling.

Cozy Skin Facial: pumpkin, marshmallow, warm towels, two masks and massage from your face all the way down to your hands.

High tech or high touch.

Personally, I think October needed both.

The Cozy Skin Facial has a little bit of nostalgia behind it for me.

Circadia was one of the professional skincare lines I worked with earlier in my career, and there are certain products and treatments that I still remember because they were simply so enjoyable to work with.

So for October, I wanted to bring a little of that back.

The Cozy Skin Facial features Circadia’s Pumpkin Perfecting Mask with bakuchiol followed by their Marshmallow Whip Hydrating Mask, paired with warm towels and plenty of hands on care.

This one isn’t about fitting as many modalities as possible into an appointment. It’s intentionally cozy.

Think seasonal skincare, facial massage, neck and shoulder massage, scalp massage, hands and arms, and an hour where you can get warm, comfortable and completely settle in.

It feels a little nostalgic for me and very fitting for October.

Fall skincare essentials, Healthy Skin Spa edition.

This time of year, I’m not interested in completely changing your routine just because the season changed. I’m looking at the few things that can help your skin transition comfortably from summer into cooler, drier weather.

A few fall essentials I love:

A gentle cleanser that doesn’t leave skin feeling tight.

Hydration that can be layered when your skin needs a little more.

A supportive moisturizer to help keep your skin barrier comfortable.

Daily SPF, because sunscreen season definitely did not end with summer.

And a good hydrating or barrier supporting mask for those nights when your skin is asking for a little extra attention.

Simple, supportive and easy to work into the routine you already have.

I’ve gathered my seasonal favorites together in the Fall Skin Reset Collection on the Healthy Skin Spa online shop, so you can easily find what makes sense for your skin this fall.

And as always, if you’re not sure what to choose, ask me. I’d much rather help you find one product you’ll actually use than send you home with five you don’t need.

You do not have to know exactly what your skin needs before you book a facial.

That is my job.

If you are dealing with sensitivity, breakouts, dryness, changes in texture, signs of aging or simply feel like your current routine is not working anymore, we can start there.

I will look at what your skin is doing, talk through what you are using at home and customize your treatment accordingly.

For anyone who has never been to Healthy Skin Spa, the New Client Facial Experience is the best place to begin.

Appointments are available for the remainder of September.
