The downside of having to appear flawless 24-7 is definitely the cumulative impact of makeup and product on your skin. For me, having very sensitive skin, I’ve found that I can’t review many products and have to decline even receiving too many new items, for fear of break outs. It’s hard on your skin to change the routine too often and you never know what your reaction will be to new products/ ingredients.
This is why I was SO excited to hear from Jamie, the owner and founder of Echo Natural Beauty, who specializes in custom, all-natural facials. She proposed we work on my skin in a two-part facial process that would include extractions and some food-grade masks and products that were sure to only benefit my sensitive skin.
I’ve had facials and treatments everywhere- from students in beauty school to 5-star Spa’s, but this was by far my favorite, most relaxing and trusted experience. Jamie is gentle, thoughtful and insightful when choosing the products and working on your skin. She had great insight as to what would work best for my skin and after our second facial, I decided to purchase a new skin care line by Arcona that has extended the effects on my refreshed pores through gentle, targeted ingredients.
My favorite part of the treatment was the massage- which is a brilliant aspect to any facial you receive here. Jamie is obviously wells trained and offers a full upper body massage that rivals many full body services I’ve received in Portland. The sugaring was nearly painless and very quick. My brows looked beautiful afterward and I am tempted to do a full face waxing next time to get rid of all my peach fuzz too.
