Clean Beauty Facials — We strive to offer a restorative facial experience that brings a sense of ease and calm while still offering visible results. We use high performance luxury clean beauty products from brands that follow sustainable practices and mindfully source botanical ingredients.
All facials are customized based on client skin care needs and include cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, treatment mask, eye/lip treatment, a serum, and final hydration via a face oil or cream-based moisturizer. All facials include extensive face, shoulder, and neck massage.
Facials lasting 90-minutes or longer include gua sha or cupping, as well as arm and hand massage. Manual lymphatic drainage (on the face/neck) is incorporated into these facials to reduce puffiness and encourage detoxification.
It is recommended that new clients book a facial lasting at least 90 minutes. This time slot allows for a thorough consultation, assessment of current skin care protocol, as well as existing challenges/concerns.
A two-hour facial is great for those wanting to receive energy work and/or more massage (including extra shoulder, neck, scalp, and foot massage).
