THE MERRITT SKINCARE EXPERIENCEEvery facial at Merritt Skincare is guided by presence, intuition, and respect for the skin’s natural intelligence. While I offer signature treatments featuring specific modalities, each experience is bespoke and shaped by what your skin and nervous system need that day.
My work blends holistic skincare, sculptural facial massage, lymphatic techniques, and restorative rituals to support both visible results and deep relaxation. Treatments are unhurried, thoughtful, and rooted in care rather than correction.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR VISITYour session begins with a brief, grounded check-in to understand your skin concerns, lifestyle factors, and intentions for the visit. From there, you’ll settle into a calm, nurturing environment where touch, rhythm, and stillness are prioritized.
Your facial may include a combination of sculptural and lifting facial massage, buccal massage (aka intraoral massage), manual lymphatic drainage, gua sha, facial reflexology, LED light therapy, Kansa massage, facial cupping, and cryotherapy, depending on your needs and desires for your time with me. You’re invited to close your eyes, welcome moments of silence, and settle into deep rest and nervous system regulation.
A THOUGHTFUL, NO-PRESSURE APPROACH TO SKINCAREThere is never any pressure to purchase products.
I work with carefully selected, non-toxic, high-performance skincare lines, but my role is to support your skin, not to sell to you. I’m always happy to review products you already use, offer honest feedback, and suggest changes when needed.
Recommendations are made thoughtfully and may include products I carry, products you already own, or alternatives available elsewhere. My goal is clarity and support, not obligation.
Many clients share that knowing there is no sales pitch allows them to relax more fully and enjoy their treatment with ease.
AT-HOME RITUALS & ONGOING SUPPORTFor clients who enjoy caring for their skin and nervous system between visits, I’m always happy to share simple at-home practices such as facial massage, gua sha, or lymphatic techniques for the face and neck.
These rituals are offered as supportive tools, not requirements, and are taught gently, with an emphasis on ease rather than perfection. When appropriate, I may demonstrate techniques during your facial visit, review them at a future visit, or offer guidance virtually for those who would like support from home.
My intention is to empower you with knowledge that enhances and extends the benefits of your treatments, while honoring that rest, consistency, and listening to your skin matter more than doing “everything.”
SUPPORTING SKIN BEYOND THE SURFACEWhen addressing concerns such as acne, inflammation, sensitivity, or premature aging, I look beyond the surface of the skin. We may discuss factors such as stress, digestion, hormones, and lifestyle patterns alongside topical care.
My approach is rooted in long-term skin health- supporting the skin barrier, circulation, and balance rather than chasing quick fixes.
At the same time, clients seeking sculptural, lifting, or preventative treatments are equally supported with techniques and products chosen to enhance tone, clarity, vitality, and resilience.
A COLLABORATIVE, PERSONALIZED APPROACHSkincare is a collaborative relationship.
I value open dialogue and enjoy learning what my clients love, what has worked for them, and what hasn’t. Your experience, preferences, and feedback are always welcome.
My intention is for you to feel heard, cared for, and deeply at ease throughout your time here.
LEAVING GROUNDED AND RESTOREDEach visit is designed to be both effective and restorative, an experience that supports your skin while allowing your nervous system to settle.
My goal is for you to leave feeling grounded, cared for, and more at home in your skin.
