Organic Skincare – A Holistic Approach to Non-Toxic Skin Care
We use the term ‘Skin Care’ to describe professional facial treatments and the use of personal home care products. There are many types of facials designed to address the variety of needs your skin may have. Our facial treatments are performed by licensed, certified estheticians. Home care product recommendations enhance the goals of professional treatment and maintain optimal skin health. It’s important to remember and appreciate that our skin is not just an outside wrapper. It amazingly serves many vital functions of our whole health.

- Encourages the skin to return to its healthy balance
- Enhances your overall health and harmony
Relief from Stress
There are many stressors that impact our skin and how we feel about it. Lack of quality sleep, worry, anxiety, environmental assaults, inactivity and a wide variety of imbalances, just to name a few. It can also be said that if we don’t like what we see when we look in the mirror that can actually add to stress and its negative impact! An authentic facial experience provides a healthy option to interrupt the cycle of stress and encourage your whole being towards greater health.
Detoxification Through Lymph Stimulation
Many of our advanced facials focus around lymph stimulation. Healthy lymph relies on movement throughout the body to keep our immune system responsive. It is especially important to maintain fluid balance after surgical procedures or anesthetic influence. Lymph is responsible for circulating nutrients and filtering foreign matter such as bacteria, toxins, viruses and other cellular debris and metabolic waste. Healthy lymphocytes prevent the spread of illness due to its filtering mechanisms.
Sluggish lymph can be troublesome. Some symptoms of stagnant lymph include excess fat, protein overload, edema, headaches and general sluggishness. Inactivity can also stagnate lymph.
It’s easy to see why encouraging healthy lymphatic flow is very beneficial. All of our Dr. Hauschka treatments include lymph stimulation for advanced holistic skin care. If you’re not sure which facial is right for you, we invite you to schedule a consultation facial as an introduction to healthy skin care options best suited for you. Because your skin presents changing needs, we recommend seasonal treatments to ensure you’re always giving your skin the care it needs.
Non Toxic Products for Holistic Facials
Our skin is the body’s largest organ. It’s possible to absorb ingredients directly into the blood stream every time we apply topical cosmetics or skin care preparations. Here, we use certified organic products from Weleda and Dr. Hauscka. Ingredients are mindfully hand-harvested as part of sustainable, biodynamic farming practices.

Commonly Asked Questions about Non-toxic Skincare & Facials:
What is a Non-toxic Skincare/Facial?
Expert estheticians know how to create an emollient and soothing bath just for the skin. With natural, non-toxic products, we provide your skin a moisturizing, cleansing and refreshing chance to clean out, tone up, and relax. Using acupressure points, we improve total facial circulation. In a step-by-step procedure to open pores and hydrate the skin, dirt and dead skin is removed. Skin becomes renewed by sloughing old layers, allowing new, regenerated fresh cells to build from below.
How does this work?
You are pampered in the Spa’s warm, comfortable facial salon room. Resting on the padded table, supported by pillows and surrounded by good smells and sounds, the esthetician goes to work applying wonderful organic creams and tonics in a tried and true sequence to clean and revitalize tired or disturbed skin. With the latest products using Vitamin C, natural moisturizers and astringent herbs, you relax as the minutes go by in total peace.
Is it safe? Is it effective?
All natural, organic products are never tested on animals. But, with thousands of uses in salons and spas, we know they have a great reputation for being mild, hypoallergenic and effective. We always test to see if our clients are reactive to products.
What to expect?
Make an appointment for your facial and leave plenty of time to relax on either side of the treatment. You will come to the spa, change into a special spa top, and prepare to enjoy the experience. We are happy to serve men and women. In addition to the natural facial, expect to receive information and health coaching about the way your skin health reflects your overall physical and emotional wellbeing.
Is it covered by insurance? How much does it cost?
Facials are paid by the client. Gift certificates are available. Cost varies based on several factors such as length of appointment; products used, and skin condition. Please contact us for more information.
