The Transformative Power of Facials (and why they go far beyond the surface)

Updated: Nov 3

Most people think of a facial as a relaxing treat — something to leave your skin glowing for a few days. While that glow is wonderful, the truth is that lasting skin health begins beneath the surface.


At The Dirty Esthetician, I take a different approach — one that looks at the whole body, not just the skin. My work combines over 30 years in medical and holistic aesthetics with root-cause wellness coaching. This helps calm inflammation, balance the nervous system, and restore skin harmony from the inside out.

The Missing Piece in Modern Skincare


If your skin constantly feels reactive, red, or sensitive no matter what you use, it’s not just about your products. It’s about what’s happening within your body.


Many of my clients struggle with issues like histamine intolerance, autoimmunity, or chronic inflammation — often without realizing these internal imbalances directly affect their skin. When the gut or nervous system is under stress, the skin becomes a reflection of that imbalance. This can lead to flushing, dryness, rashes, breakouts, and other flare-ups that never seem to calm down.


That’s why my facials are designed not just to soothe, but to support healing at the root — where the problem actually begins.

My Approach: Skin, Gut, and Nervous System


Your skin doesn’t exist in isolation. It’s deeply connected to your gut and nervous system through what’s known as the gut-skin axis and neuro-immuno-cutaneous system. This means your gut, brain, and skin are constantly communicating.


My goal is to bring those systems back into conversation through gentle, low-tox, ancestrally inspired skincare and supportive wellness practices. Each session is personalized, whether you’re navigating histamine overload, hormonal shifts, or autoimmune-related sensitivities.


I use ancestrally appropriate skincare products that align with how your skin is naturally designed to function. These products are free of harmful chemicals, endocrine disruptors, synthetic fragrances, or harsh preservatives. Each formula is chosen to respect your skin’s natural barrier and microbiome. I focus on bioavailable ingredients your body recognizes — like tallow, raw honey, and botanical extracts — rather than synthetic compounds it has to defend against.


This is skincare that supports your biology, not one that fights against it.

My Signature Facial


Every facial at The Dirty Esthetician is customized to your skin’s current state and your body’s overall needs. Each treatment is designed to calm inflammation, encourage natural detoxification, and bring your nervous system into a state of deep rest.


The Customized Facial (90 Minutes)


This is not your typical spa facial — it’s a full 90-minute experience focused on restoring balance from the inside out. It includes extensive lymphatic facial massage to support your skin’s natural detox pathways, relieve congestion, and encourage gentle circulation.


The lymphatic system is your body’s built-in cleansing network. When it becomes stagnant due to stress, inflammation, or environmental toxins, you may notice puffiness, dullness, breakouts, or a feeling of heaviness in the face. Lymphatic massage helps move that fluid, reduce inflammation, and create space for nutrients and oxygen to nourish your skin cells again.


This technique not only supports a clearer, more sculpted appearance but also encourages the body’s parasympathetic “rest and digest” response. This promotes calm, clarity, and visible radiance.


Throughout your session, I use ancestral, low-tox skincare products formulated without chemicals or endocrine disruptors. These products are in harmony with your skin and the planet. This approach mirrors how our ancestors cared for their skin: simple, pure, and effective — a return to what’s real and restorative.


Add-On Enhancements


  • Gua Sha – Encourages lymphatic drainage, reduces puffiness, and supports circulation.

  • Red Light Therapy – Supports skin healing, reduces inflammation, and strengthens the skin barrier.

  • Facial Cupping – Gently lifts and detoxifies the skin, improving tone and vitality.


Each treatment focuses on creating a nervous-system-safe experience — slow, grounding, and inflammation-friendly.

Going Deeper: Root-Cause Wellness Coaching


Beautiful skin begins with a balanced body. For clients who are ready to explore the internal side of healing, I offer personalized wellness coaching rooted in genetics, bio-individuality, and ancestral living.


À la Carte Coaching Session (60 min)


A focused, one-hour session for targeted support — ideal for addressing histamine issues, gut inflammation, or nervous-system dysregulation.


DNA Deep Dive Wellness Session (2 Parts)


A two-part experience that includes an initial consultation plus a deep genetic review to uncover your unique pathways for inflammation, detox, and resilience.


Bio-Individual Blueprint Experience (12 Weeks)


My signature program combines genetic insight, lifestyle strategy, and low-tox ancestral wellness guidance for lasting results and long-term healthspan support.


Why It Matters


You deserve more than temporary relief or “band-aid beauty.” You deserve an approach that honors the connection between your skin, your body, and your environment.


When your skin calms, your whole system begins to regulate — and that’s where the real glow comes from.


Ready to Experience the Difference?


Whether you start with a customized facial or a deeper coaching session, every service at The Dirty Esthetician is designed to help you feel grounded, supported, and truly at home in your body again.
