Healthy Skin Spa

October facial personality test:

Would you rather hear…

“I’m going to start with your dermaplaning.”

or

“I’m going to start your hand and arm massage while your marshmallow mask sits.”

If you immediately chose the first: Full Moon Muse.

If you immediately chose the second: Cozy Skin Facial.

I may have made choosing your October facial a little too easy.

I’ve been doing skincare professionally since 2016, and treatments have changed a LOT.

I’ve changed too.

Today I have LED, microcurrent, galvanic, dermaplaning and so many other tools available in my treatment room.

But I haven’t forgotten how good a beautifully simple, hands on facial can be.

That’s really where The Cozy Skin Facial came from.

Two masks. Lots of massage. Time. Touch. Warmth.

It’s a little nod to the facials I used to give years ago, brought into Healthy Skin Spa exactly as I am today.

And I think there’s something really special about that.

So what are all those modalities actually doing in The Full Moon Muse?

Dermaplaning gives us that beautifully smooth starting point by removing surface buildup and peach fuzz.

Red LED supports a calm, healthy looking complexion.

Lymphatic facial massage gives me time to work with my hands while encouraging that refreshed, less puffy appearance clients love.

And we finish with cooling ice globes because, quite frankly, you all LOVE them.

That’s why I don’t just throw random modalities into a facial. I want the treatment to make sense from beginning to end.

The Full Moon Muse | 75 minutes | $150

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.
