Skin Care : More Than Facials & Products

When we take better care of ourselves, we can take better care of others.

When I was little and would have my best friend over, my favorite part would be when my mom would let us play ‘skin care.’ Often times, it was making our own concoctions with bentonite clay, honey, and herbs from our garden or kitchen cupboard. The whole ritual of smelling and selecting the herbs to use and how it felt to apply them. It was always enjoyable and definitely influenced me to go to school to study skin care later on.

I’m now sharing this experience with my daughters at night, and they never let me forget! :) Skin may be complex, but skin care doesn’t have to be complicated. You don’t need a nine step routine and an hour to dedicate every day. Maybe you prefer to spend that time solo because it’s the only time you get to take a few deep breaths in your day.

So many of us walk around wearing our busy schedules like a badge of honor, but balance is essential to well being. At Moonstone, your options for self care experiences are endless- facials or what I like to call skin care rituals are where it began. I wanted to name them something different that a facial, because what I wanted to provide felt like more. It’s a combination of years of continued education that goes into each and every appointment. It’s really feeling the skin you’re working with, and not just going on autopilot. It’s spending that extra time, because an hour never really felt like enough. It’s that time carved out after each treatment so that I can properly clean and be prepared for the next client instead of trying to cram in as many appointments as (inhumanly) possible! Each unique service was carefully and intentionally created with three main goals in mind: skin health, nervous system regulation, and tension relief.

Take Care Of Each Other,
