Earth Loving Esty

To my beautiful and loyal clients ✨

Thank you for continuing to support me and bringing so much good energy into the studio! You’re the heart of my growing little business and I appreciate you all so very much!!!! 🫶🏻🥹🤍

A lil love note 💌 and reminder to all the women in my life. Family, friends, sweet clients.. One of the greatest life lessons that I am still learning myself, is that nothing ever stays the same. Evolution is a natural part of the human process🌀⁣
⁣
Especially true for women as our flow wanes and waxes with the moon. 🌚 No matter your current state of mind, health, age, or weight .. 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 💗⁣⁣⁣

⁣
✧ Decide what kind of experience you want to have. Do you need a corrective treatment or a day of pampering? At Elma we provide a combination of both, but knowing your needs ahead of time helps you better communicate them to your esthetician, and ensures they’re met. ⁣
⁣
Never be afraid to say “I just need to take a nap today” or “I’d prefer a quiet experience.” This signals to me how much I should focus on education and getting to know you (very chatty) vs complete and total relaxation (not chatty at all)⁣ ⁣
⁣
✧ If you’re looking to see changes in your skin, ask yourself “what are my main concerns?”Think about the goals you want to achieve and be ready to discuss them.⁣
⁣
✧ Part of this convo will be chatting about your home care. We gather that info on your intake form. But other things to consider ahead of time are how long you’ve been using your products, how consistently you use them, and whether you’ve seen a difference.⁣
⁣
✧ Avoid retinols, strong AHA/BHA’s, and any other exfoliating products 1 week prior to your scheduled appointment time.⁣
⁣
✧ Stay out of the sun! I cannot and will not perform a facial on sunburned skin.⁣
⁣
✧ Get your workout in before your appointment. Sweating post-facial is a no-go.⁣
⁣
✧ If possible, skip makeup and come bare faced. Not mandatory, but those 5 minutes spent removing mascara could have been used for something else, like extractions or massage!⁣
⁣
✧ Please read our policy and arrive on time! Things come up and we understand. We provide a 10 minute window before we have to cancel your appointment, but please consider that for every minute you’re late, it takes away from your appointment time. This is to ensure we operate on schedule for the day and don’t interfere with other appointments arriving after you!⁣
⁣
✧ Lastly, consider how much you’re willing to invest in your skin. Facials are like exercise, consistency is key. Whether looking to correct an issue or just maintain healthy, glowing skin - know that 4-6 weeks is an ideal time to rebook your next facial before leaving!⁣⁣⁣

Me to my products:⁣
⁣
Ok, ✨Operation Glow Up✨ now in session. Everybody line up. We got an important job to do.⁣
⁣
When you work solo your brain finds interesting ways to entertain itself. 🤣 ⁣
⁣
On a serious note, I’ve seen some really beautiful results with Osmosis so far. My clients are leaving with less inflamed, hydrated, and energized skin. 🧖🏽‍♀️💫 ⁣⁣⁣⁣

If you’re on the fence, here are some benefits of facial massage that just might persuade you otherwise..⁣
⁣
⚡️relieves stress by lowering cortisol⁣
⚡️increases seratonin and dopamine⁣
⚡️oxygenates the skin by stimulating blood circulation ⁣
⚡️improves lymphatic drainage, decreasing swelling and puffiness⁣
⚡️flushes toxins⁣
⚡️releases muscle tension and sinus pressure⁣
⚡️increases product absorption⁣
⚡️temporarily tightens and smooths fine lines/wrinkles and provides a lifted effect⁣⁣⁣⁣

The 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 of touch 🤲🏼✨⁣
⁣
Facials have a long list of benefits but if I had to pick a favorite - it’s the 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 for me. The feeling of walking away, both rested and rejuvenated. It’s that just finished napping in the sun - hugged by your favorite person kinda feeling.⁣
⁣
There’s a reason for this and it’s due to touch! 🙌🏻⁣
⁣
Human touch releases feel-good hormones, creates a sense of safety and builds trust. It also soothes the nervous system, allowing the mind and body to relax.🧘🏻‍♀️⁣
⁣
Want to experience this for yourself? You’re in luck. My books officially open tomorrow at 4pm! I cannot tell you how grateful I am that this moment has 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 arrived. And I’m super excited to meet some new faces!⚡️Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions regarding services, or booking 🤍🤗 ⁣⁣⁣⁣

🔔 REMINDER: booking starts Sunday at 4pm. Follow me on insta and click the link in my bio to make an appointment!

It’s World Oceans Day ✨🌊

And you know me, always getting on my soapbox to talk about sustainability and the environment. I just want to quickly remind everyone how much our choices affect the Planet..🌍

Please choose a reef-safe sunscreen when swimming in large (or even small) bodies of water this summer. The ocean is known as the “lungs of the earth” 🫁 bc it produces most of our atmospheres oxygen (much like the rainforest) and is a huge food and medicine source.

Chemical UV filters like oxybenzone, avobenzone, octinoxate, and benzophenone damage coral reefs🪸which is heartbreaking, to say the least.💔

Protect our planet, Respect our waters 💦 🙏🏻

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH 🌈✨ All are welcome here 💗❤️🧡💛💚💙

I need three models!!! ✨🧖🏽‍♀️

Hi everyone ✨🙋🏻‍♀️ I see some new faces that have joined me in the last couple days and wanted to give a quick hello and intro post so you can get to know me a little better.

My name is Mandi, and I live in the north side of Chicago with my fiance. I’m a major foodie/health nut, herbalist and esthetician with a passion for all things beauty and wellness. I decided to pursue a career in skincare because of my personal struggles with acne. I wanted to be able to provide a healing space for people to feel confident in their skin - and deeply rested in their mind and bodies. The way we think and feel about ourselves is so personal, and our skin is a direct reflection of that - what we see in the mirror influences how we walk/show up in the world. And so it is my intention to empower my clients to love themselves and feel beautiful in the skin they’re in.

In my spare time you can mostly find me frolicking in the woods or hanging in my hammock, playing in my studio crafting skin and body care products, or watching real housewives. I’m a sucker for reality tv, it’s my guilty pleasure and the one thing at the end of the day that helps me zone out. I’m a Gemini and my mind moves 100000 miles a minute so it’s helpful to have distractions!

I think most of you followed me over from Marta at , thank you so much for the support! And mad props to my eyebrows pictured here. Yes, if you didn’t already know, she works some serious magic and can make you feel like a brow goddess!

Anyways, I’m excited to get to know all of you. If you’re ever in need of a facial or just have skin related questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to help. 💕💕
