At citron, we take an integrative approach to skin health through our facials. We focus on both inner and outer techniques that nurture both skin health and overall well-being.
We begin with a detoxifying infrared sauna session followed by a rejuvenating facial. Our facials include deep relaxation and stress relief through massage, aroma, and hot and cold therapies, as well as customized, clean, clinical skincare products and modalities that transform skin health by improving circulation and enhancing the skin’s natural functions.
We conclude your service with a cold, refreshing ginger elixir to nourish your skin and body from the inside out with nutrition.
How Our Holistic Facials Transform Skin Health + Wellness:
1. A Holistic Approach to Skincare
Holistic skincare addresses skin concerns while supporting the body’s natural healing processes.
We treat issues like acne, dryness, aging, or sensitivity in a way that works with the skin’s natural biology rather than using harsh or artificial solutions that may cause further irritation and imbalance, and even have negative effects on our overall health.
Instead of only treating the skin based on surface symptoms, holistic skincare focuses on the root causes of skin imbalances, such as stress, diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors.
Our holistic approach combines natural and scientific skincare with wellness practices to promote long-term skin health. Here's how:
Nourishing, non-toxic ingredients that enhance the skin’s natural functions.
Facial massage to increase circulation, detoxify, and reduce stress.
Mind-body techniques, like infrared sauna therapies, aromatherapy, deep breaths, and steamed towel compressions, reduce stress-related breakouts and inflammation.
Lifestyle recommendations, such as hydration, nutrition, and stress management, to support glowing skin from within.
By treating the skin as part of a whole-body system, holistic skincare creates lasting balance, radiance, and resilience—not just quick fixes that come with undesirable side-effects.
2. Boosts Cell Turnover + Regeneration
Regular facials stimulate skin cell renewal, helping to shed dead skin cells and stimulate fresh, healthy skin cell production. This process reduces dullness and promotes a more radiant complexion. Most of our facials include a gentle enzyme or peel, which penetrates deeper into the skin layers, stimulating the production of new skin cells from the deeper layers.
3. Boosting Hydration + Strengthening the Skin Barrier
All of our facials include nourishing products that help improve hydration with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and soothing botanicals that help strengthen the skin barrier.
Having a strong skin barrier is important to protect against environmental stressors. It is your body’s defense against external damage that can come from things like UV rays, harsh chemicals, and pollution- which helps preserve overall skin health. A strong skin barrier will also help prevent water loss, keeping your skin hydrated, supple, and performing healthily.
4. Improved Circulation, Detoxification & Lymphatic Drainage for a Radiant Glow Through Facial Massage
Facial massage encourages the movement of blood through the vessels in the face. It increases oxygen supply by stimulating blood circulation and delivering oxygen and nutrients to the skin, which promotes a healthy, revitalized glow.
Adding Gua Sha to your facial helps promote circulation and can support lymphatic drainage by moving fluid toward the lymph nodes, removing toxins.
5. Balancing the Skin with Healthy, Natural, and Scientific Ingredients
Our facials incorporate a blend of vegan, plant-based ingredients, scientifically-backed formulations, and locally sourced herbs to ensure the most effective treatments. This approach, rooted in science and nature, uses ingredients that are clinically proven to work in harmony with the skin’s natural functions. These plant-based ingredients provide targeted benefits for the skin, and we’re proud to support local artisans and farmers who sustainably grow and harvest these botanicals.
Some key ingredients in our facials that restore balance include:
· Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Vitamin A: known for their ability to fight free radicals, boost collagen production, and promote skin rejuvenation.
· Antioxidants & Peptides: These ingredients help combat signs of aging and stimulate the skin's natural healing process, while also boosting elasticity and providing long-term hydration.
· Sustainable & Clean Ingredients: Glo Skin Beauty and our local herbal formulations prioritize the use of clean, cruelty-free ingredients, ensuring that each product nourishes the skin without harmful chemicals, fragrances, or artificial dyes.
6. Stress Reduction + Mind-Body Benefits
Our facials at citron take a mind-body approach- focusing on deep relaxation, stress relief, and rejuvenation. We do this by including an infrared sauna session before your facial to lower cortisol levels, relax muscles, and detoxify skin and body. Our facials also include stress relieving facial, arm, hand, upper back, and foot massages. We incorporate the use of hot and cold therapies through streamed towel compresses and cryotherapy globes to relax facial muscles and improve circulation- increasing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to skin cells.
By lowering stress levels, we lower cortisol levels. Cortisol is responsible for the sebaceous glands producing excess oil and inflammation, which can lead to acne and premature aging.
7. Customization for Every Skin Type + Concern
We offer a variety of facial options at citron that cater to individual concerns such as dryness, seasonal skin concerns, aging, acne, dullness and hyperpigmentation, and sensitivity. You can view all of our facial offerings based on your concerns and goals here.
Unsure which facial is best for you? Each facial includes a personalized consultation with your esthetician before your treatment to help determine which facial will best help you achieve your goals.
8. Long-Term Benefits + Aftercare
At the end of your facial, you will also go home with a customized skincare plan and recommendations for consistent care to help you achieve the best results.
Some extra tips:
Stay Hydrated
Drinking plenty of water throughout the day helps keep your skin hydrated from the inside out, improving its appearance and texture. Hydration helps maintain elasticity and combats dryness and flakiness.
Eat a Skin-Loving Diet
Focus on a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and vitamins that nourish the skin.
Get Adequate Sleep
Getting 7-9 hours of sleep each night will help your skin regenerate and repair itself while you sleep, which is essential for maintaining a healthy complexion and fighting signs of aging. Sleep also helps reduce stress, which can lead to skin inflammation and premature aging.
