Happy Sunday loves! I hope you are having a relaxing and rejuvenating weekend! For me, this has been one of the busiest weeks I have had in a looooong time! Two photoshoots, two events, we hung out with some friends, and I am FINALLY sitting still for 5 minutes! PHEW!

The Prep
Walking into Essential Healing reminds me a lot of walking into a sacred space. Every room is dimly lit, essential oils and scents are wafting in the air, lots of white and clean lines, and overall just a very calming environment. I have loved each visit there and always left feeling rejuvenated and ready to take on the world!
When you walk into Bria’s space, she had her oil diffuser going, as well as various oils and powders in little bowls that will be used for the various facials. This time, I chose the relax and rejuvenate package, which included microdermabrasion, oil treatment, exfoliating facial, and a hydrating facial. Basically everything you need for your body to glow from the neck up! After you get changed into your warm fluffy wrap towel, you get to climb onto her chair. Which covers your legs with a heated blanket! Trust me, it makes the experience 100% amazing.
The Facial
From start to finish, this is in my top 3 facials I have ever received. Bria started with the oil cleanse, this was to remove all of my makeup off of my face. After a relaxing massage with oil and steam, Bria wiped the skin and started in on the microdermabrasion. This is my first time getting the microdermabrasion facial and I am HOOKED! This was also the time Bria took to really take a deeper look at what the look at the causes of my skin issues. Since I have cystic acne that flares due to hormones, but also acid reflex, she suggested I go dairy free. I’ll circle back around to this point in a bit! Once this process is completed, Bria starts mixing up your personalized facials! I had one cleansing and purifying one, and an exfoliating one. Both left my skin feeling AH-MAZING and so refreshed! Part of the relax and rejuvenate facial is also a foot massage. So when my first facial was on, I got an oil massage on my legs and oooooh it was good!
The Post Treatment
To keep my skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated wayyyy past my first facial with Bria, she gave me a recommendation on what products to use! For me, I cleanse daily with pure seed oils, so I already am used to oils on my skin. For many, it will take adjustments to routines, but pure oils are the best cleansers and cleaners of the skin! Oils won’t strip the naturals oils from the skin and will prevent over drying of the skin. You can shop my skincare routine now below!
