OUR STORY
Second Nature was born from the realization that self-care isn’t a luxury, it’s necessary.
Before becoming an esthetician, I spent three years teaching kindergarten. It was deeply rewarding, but also deeply draining. I was constantly caring for others and rarely for myself. My skin definitely reflected that imbalance. When I began to reconnect with my own wellbeing, I saw firsthand how inner peace and outer radiance are inseparable.
That experience inspired Second Nature: a holistic skincare studio built on the idea that caring for your skin should feel as natural and necessary as breathing. Here, skin health isn’t about quick fixes or harsh corrections; it’s about creating balance, consistency, and rituals that support your body’s own intelligence.
Through advanced yet mindful treatments, ingredient-focused skincare, and everyday habits that nourish from the inside out, Second Nature bridges science and soul and believes that when care becomes second nature, healing follows naturally.
OUR PHILOSPHY
Second Nature was created from the belief that skincare is a long-term relationship, one built on intention, consistency, and a deep respect for the skin’s natural intelligence. We see the skin not as something to correct, but as a living system to understand, support, and strengthen. Our approach is holistic and preventative, centered not on forcing change, but on guiding the skin toward balance and vitality over time.
We believe that meaningful results come from thoughtful planning and expert guidance. Every client receives a curated treatment plan designed with long-term goals in mind, grounded in advanced skincare science, and shaped by the nuances of their lifestyle, habits, and environment. We honor the individuality of each complexion and never rely on one-size-fits-all routines or aggressive, trend-driven protocols.
As estheticians, our role is part practitioner, part educator, and part partner in your skin’s evolution. We help you understand the “why” behind your regimen, the purpose of each ingredient, and the behaviors that support or disrupt progress. Through this collaborative process, skincare becomes less of a chore and more of a grounded, intuitive practice—one that supports your whole well-being.
Second Nature is where holistic principles meet modern, results-driven esthetics. We prioritize barrier health, intelligent formulations, advanced delivery systems, and treatments that rejuvenate rather than injure. Our intention is to create a space where you feel cared for, informed, and supported every step of the way.
FREQEUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Holistic skincare means we consider your skin within the context of your habits, stress, environment, and overall well-being. We don’t give medical or dietary advice, but we help you explore supportive lifestyle patterns that complement your skincare plan.
Please arrive with clean, makeup-free skin so we can accurately assess your complexion. Avoid exfoliating acids, retinoids, self-tanner, or any potentially sensitizing products for 48 hours prior. If you’re currently using prescription topicals or have had recent cosmetic treatments (like injectables, microneedling, or peels), please let us know ahead of time so we can adjust your treatment safely. Otherwise, just come as you are, we’ll take care of the rest!
A treatment plan is a personalized roadmap for your skin. After assessing your complexion, goals, lifestyle, and sensitivities, we create a structured sequence of treatments and homecare steps designed to support your skin over time.
Your plan outlines how often you should come in, which treatments will be most effective, and which products will maintain progress between visits. Instead of guessing or bouncing between trends, a treatment plan ensures your skin is moving in a clear, intentional direction, by layering the right treatments, in the right order, for the right reasons.
It’s the foundation of how we work at Second Nature: consistent, guided, long-term care that builds healthier, stronger, more resilient skin.
We always take your current products into account, but it’s important to know that homecare is a core part of your treatment plan. At Second Nature, a complete plan includes three pillars working together: professional treatments, supportive lifestyle habits, and an esthetician-curated home regimen.
Using products outside of your plan can interrupt progress, but it also removes a key layer of support: your esthetician’s expertise in the specific brands and formulations chosen for your skin. The lines we carry are selected with intention. We understand their chemistry, how they interact with different skin concerns, and how they synergize with each other and with your in-studio treatments.
When you follow the regimen designed for you, we’re able to guide you with precision, ensure safety, monitor your skin’s response accurately, and adjust your plan with confidence. This alignment is what creates consistent, effective, long-term results.
We focus on effective skincare, not marketing terms. “Natural” and “clean” are not regulated and don’t necessarily mean safer or better. At Second Nature, we choose products based on their performance, biocompatibility, ingredient synergy, delivery systems, and skin barrier support, whether they’re botanical, lab-created, or a combination of both. Our priority is always what is safe, intentional, and truly beneficial for your skin, not what fits a trend.
Yes, but we specialize in long-term skincare. A single facial can be relaxing and beneficial, but the best results come from ongoing treatment plans tailored to your skin over time.
Relaxation is a key part of your skin’s ability to heal, rebalance, and respond to treatments. When the nervous system shifts out of stress mode, circulation improves, inflammation decreases, and the skin’s natural repair processes work more effectively.
Stress can compromise the barrier, slow recovery, and exacerbate concerns like sensitivity, breakouts, or dullness. By creating a calm, intentional environment, we help the body, and the skin, function optimally. Relaxation isn’t just indulgence; it’s an essential step in supporting long-term skin health and maximizing treatment results.
