Welcome to SkinWorks by Melanie

A Holistic Approach   The skin reflects our physical, emotional, and environmental state-of-being.    Stress, neglect, lack of proper nutrients and diet are key factors that determine the condition of skin’s health.  Regular facials can provide stress-reduction and relaxation, reduce headaches and tension, as well as help restore a healthy appearance.    In addition to their pampering and emotional benefits, facials can actually be considered comparable to an aerobic workout for your face.  Specific massage techniques have been proven to strengthen and tone the muscles in the face and neck, lift and firm the skin, and stimulate collagen and elastin production to reveal a more youthful and healthy glow, and ultimately re-sculpt the face.     Regular facials, combined with massage, also stimulate sebum (oil) production; hydrating and detoxifying the skin, bringing blood to the epidermis, forcing cell-turnover, revealing new and vibrant skin.     Using the combined benefits of quality products and serums and layered technology (such as ultrasonic, light therapy, and/or non-invasive methods such as microdermabrasion treatments), combined with effective facial massage, we can target and eliminate (or control) skin conditions such as:  premature aging, over-production of oil, acne, sensitivity, rosacea, hyper-pigmentation, scarring, sun-damaged and pollutant-stressed skin.
