Tired of Ingrowns?

WAX YOUR WAY TO SMOOTHER SKIN

If you’re constantly battling razor bumps, ingrown hairs, and irritated skin, you’re not alone. Shaving may be quick—but for many, it leads to redness, itching, dark spots, and stubble that shows up way too soon.

There’s a better way.

Professional waxing removes hair from the root, which means smoother skin that lasts weeks—not days. With consistent waxing, hair grows back softer and finer over time, and those stubborn razor bumps become a thing of the past. No more daily shaving. No more last-minute panic before a beach day or a night out.

We use high-quality wax designed for sensitive skin and proper pre- and post-care techniques to minimize irritation and prevent ingrowns. Whether it’s brows, legs, underarms, or a Brazilian, we’ll make sure your experience is comfortable, quick, and confidence-boosting.

Imagine skin that feels smooth, looks even, and stays that way.

NEW YEAR NEW GLOW

Make Glowing Skin Your New Year's Resolution

As the New Year begins, it’s the perfect time to focus on resolutions that truly make you feel your best. And healthy, radiant skin should be at the top of the list. Skin care isn’t just about looking good; it’s about caring for yourself, building confidence, and creating moments of calm in a busy world.

Achieving fresher, glomore glowy skin starts with consistency. A personalized skin care routine tailored to your skin type can help address concerns like dryness, dullness, fine lines, and uneven tone. Regular professional treatments, such as facials and chemical peels, renew the skin in ways at-home care simply can’t.

Hydration is another key to a healthy glow. Drinking plenty of water and using high-quality, nourishing products helps support your skin barrier and maintain a youthful, luminous appearance. And don’t forget the power of relaxation! Stress can show up on your skin, so taking time to unwind is just as important as the products you use.

This year, make self-care a priority. Invest in your skin, enjoy the process, and let your natural glow shine brighter than ever. Your skin will thank you all year long.

FEELING DRIED OUT?

UNDERSTANDING WINTER SKIN WOES

Have you ever noticed your skin becoming drier, tighter, or more sensitive as temperatures drop? There’s a science behind it—and understanding it can help you protect your glow all winter long.

Cold air holds far less moisture than warm air. When humidity drops, the air literally pulls water from your skin, leading to dehydration and flakiness. At the same time, winter winds create friction on the skin’s surface, damaging your protective barrier—the layer responsible for keeping moisture in and irritants out.

Indoors, heating systems make things worse by drying the air even more, causing your skin to lose hydration around the clock. In response, your oil glands produce less natural oil in the winter, which means less protection and a higher chance of irritation, redness, and sensitivity.

Reduced circulation in cold temperatures also slows the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to your skin, making it appear dull or uneven.

The good news? With the right care, winter doesn’t have to steal your glow. Hydrating ingredients, barrier-repairing creams, and targeted spa treatments can keep your complexion healthy, balanced, and radiant—no matter how cold it gets.

ASK AN ESTHETICIAN

We Are Grateful For Your Questions!

Happy Thanksgiving! As we gather with loved ones, indulge in festive meals, and pause to reflect on gratitude, it’s also the perfect time to show a little extra thanks to the skin that carries us through every season. This month’s Ask an Esthetician highlights a few of the most common skincare questions clients bring to the treatment room—because healthy, glowing skin is something worth celebrating year-round.

“How often should I get a facial?” Just like holiday traditions, consistency matters. Most clients benefit from facials every 4–6 weeks to support healthy cell turnover, hydration, and clarity. 

“Do I really need to wear sunscreen every day?” Absolutely! Even during cozy indoor days or chilly weather, UV exposure is still present. Daily broad-spectrum SPF 30 helps protect against premature aging and sun damage.

“Which products should I actually be using?” Everyone's skin is different, so coming in to get a deeper analysis from your esthetician will give you a clearer understanding of what you should be using. A simple routine includes a cleanser, exfoliant, serum, moisturizer, and SPF.

Have another question? Feel free to reach out to us via email, facebook, or instagram. Your esthetician is grateful for you! Your trust, curiosity, and commitment to caring for your skin make this community so special. Wishing you a holiday season filled with warmth, joy, and the kind of glow that starts from within.

THE FALL TRANSITION

The Leaves Are Changing. So Should Your Skin Care!

Just like your wardrobe, your skin care routine needs a seasonal refresh. And fall is the perfect time to make the switch! As the air gets cooler and drier, your skin craves a bit more moisture, comfort, and care.

Hydrate: Now’s the time to swap out those lightweight summer staples for richer, more nourishing formulas. Think cozy textures, soothing vibes, and products that help your skin feel soft, smooth, and well-loved.

Exfoliate: Don’t forget to keep up with gentle exfoliation to keep dullness away and help your skin glow all season long. A little extra TLC now can make a big difference as we head into the colder months.

Restore: After a sun soaked summer, your skin may be feeling dull or showing signs of sun damage. Be sure to add a brightening serum or a vitamin C mask to bring back that glowing complexion.

Fall is all about slowing down and embracing comfort, and your skincare should be no different. Treat your routine like a mini moment of self-care each day. Your skin will thank you!

FALL INTO FRESH SKIN

Peel Season Is Here

With cooler temperatures upon us, now is the perfect time to reset your skin with one of our PCA chemical peels. Known for their gentle yet powerful formulas, PCA peels are designed to exfoliate damaged skin, stimulate cell turnover, and restore a radiant glow without the harsh downtime of more aggressive treatments.

Following summer’s extreme sun, heat, and environmental stress, many of us notice dullness, uneven tone, and new fine lines. PCA peels target these concerns by improving texture, fading discoloration, softening the look of wrinkles, and boosting collagen production so your skin feels smoother, brighter, and renewed.

Fall and winter are the safest seasons for peels since you’ll spend less time in direct sunlight, making it easier to protect and maintain your results. For the best outcome, we recommend a series of PCA peels to gradually transform and strengthen your skin.

Think of this as your seasonal update—out with summer damage and in with healthy, glowing skin just in time for the holidays.

Book your PCA peel series today and fall in love with your skin again.

Understanding Vitamins

The ACE to your face!

​​If you want healthy, glowing skin, incorporating Vitamins A, C, and E into your skin care routine is a game changer. These powerhouse antioxidants work together to protect, repair, and nourish your skin from the inside out. Consider it the ACE to your face!

Vitamin A is a gold-standard ingredient for promoting cell turnover, reducing fine lines, and keeping pores clear. It’s especially effective for acne-prone or aging skin.

Vitamin C brightens your complexion and helps fade dark spots. It also boosts collagen production, making your skin firmer and more youthful. As a powerful antioxidant, it protects your skin from environmental damage like UV rays and pollution.

Vitamin E is deeply hydrating and soothing. It strengthens your skin’s natural barrier and helps repair dryness and irritation. When combined with Vitamin C, it offers enhanced UV protection and antioxidant support.

When used together, these vitamins create a synergistic effect that enhances your skin’s resilience and radiance. Look for serums and moisturizers that include these ingredients.

CHEMICAL, ENZYME, PHYSICAL

Understanding Facial Exfoliants

Exfoliation is key to maintaining healthy, glowing skin. It removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and helps your skin care products absorb more effectively. But not all exfoliants are the same—understanding the three main types can help you choose what’s best for your skin.

Chemical exfoliants use ingredients like AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) and BHAs (beta hydroxy acids) to dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells. AHAs like glycolic or lactic acid are great for dry or aging skin, while BHAs like salicylic acid are ideal for oily or acne-prone skin.

Enzyme exfoliants are gentler alternatives derived from fruits like papaya (papain) or pineapple (bromelain). They work by breaking down the protein in dead skin cells, making them perfect for sensitive skin types or those looking for a mild exfoliation.

Physical exfoliants contain small granules or tools (like scrubs or brushes) that physically slough off dead skin. These can be effective but should be used carefully to avoid irritation, especially on sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Choosing the right exfoliant depends on your skin type and concerns. Used properly, exfoliation can be a game-changer for smoother, brighter skin.

CONSISTENCY IS KEY

Why Regular Facials Are More Than Just a Luxury

Facials aren’t just a once-in-a-while treat—they’re an essential part of a long-term skincare routine. Over time, consistent facials can transform your skin’s health and appearance, offering benefits that go far beyond a temporary glow.

At Ritual and Bloom, our expert estheticians tailor each facial to your skin’s changing needs. With regular treatments, you’ll notice fewer breakouts, improved hydration, smoother texture, and a visible reduction in fine lines and dark spots. Deep cleansing and exfoliation help unclog pores and boost cell turnover, while targeted masks and serums deliver results you can see—and feel.

Facials also stimulate circulation and lymphatic drainage, which helps your skin detox naturally and maintain a youthful radiance. Think of them as personal training sessions for your face: the more consistent you are, the better your results.

Pairing monthly facials with a customized at-home routine can dramatically boost your skin’s resilience and glow over time.
