Letter From Your Esty

February 2026 Newsletter

Dear Facial Lover,

As I write this letter, our country is amid unrest. Many of us are feeling stress, anger, and fear. I feel sick to my stomach and worry about friends, neighbors, and family. I hope you and your loved ones are safe and I hope this cruelty and chaos ends soon.

At times like these we all need respite. With Simply Better Skin, I strive to provide a space where you can let go of whatever is going on in your life or life around you. My facial room is designed to be a calming, soothing, and soft, safe place to land. My facial treatments are created to address your skin concerns and to maximize the benefits of touch therapy. This includes actively lowering cortisol which reduces stress and anxiety, and the release of serotonin and dopamine, which can foster feelings of security, trust, and connection. That’s why you feel so good after a facial!

This month, I’m celebrating Valentine’s Day - the holiday that honors love, romance, and friendship – with a special facial treatment that includes a lot of touch therapy. Stress will float away with a massage of your hands, arms, feet, and lower legs. Your mind will focus on aromas such as Hug in a Bottle diffuser oil, blood orange and cranberry butter, and Soothing massage oil blend. Your skin will be refreshed and radiant, your mind calm and clear, and your body deeply relaxed. For more information, please scroll down.

Hope to see you in my treatment room soon.

Xoxo, Judy
