ABOUT
The Naked Skin Approach
Skin function over surface level improvement.
Your skin isn’t just a canvas, its a living organ. And when something is “off” on the surface - pigmentation, redness, dullness, texture - its a reflection of dysfunction beneath it. We aim to improve skin function through lymphatic drainage, improved blood circulation, restore cellular function, and nervous system regulation. Over time, our facials aim to restore youthful cellular function and the skin’s ability to repair itself.
We specialize in supporting reactive/sensitive skin and inflammatory skin conditions such as acne, and rosacea. We use non-toxic skincare products that are free of major skin irritants and sensitizers. All of the products we use in our facials are picked specifically to compliment your skin type or skin conditions.
The naked skin studio is a peaceful sanctuary that allows you to retreat from the routine of your life, drop into the stillness and allow yourself to be taken care of. Each treatment has a profound effect on your nervous system, to bring you into a deeply relaxed state - which is where true skin healing begins.
Meet Paula,
Your Facialist
Skin is my passion.
It grew out of a desire to understand my own skin and deal with what felt like rapid signs of premature aging in my 30’s. This set me on a quest to educate myself, not just on skincare but understanding the “why” behind my skin conditions. As a woman in my 30’s, it felt like it was Botox or bust. And while I had dabbled in some botox, I knew there had to be alternatives for those who didn’t want botox but also didn’t want to do NOTHING. I also knew that botox wasn’t actually doing anything for the health of the skin. I wanted to start there.
In my search, I found the skin science of Corneotherapy and that shaped my understanding of the skin and how to treat it. I started to understand the role of the skin barrier and how many skin conditions and/or accelerated skin aging is the result of an impaired skin barrier. This began my quest for finding treatments that healed the skin barrier, didn’t create trauma to the skin and provided powerful results for age-management. I deepened my understanding of skin by doing my Advanced Skin Analysis program through the Pastiche Institute. This became the foundation of Naked Skin.
Can’t wait to see you in the treatment room.
