For over 26 years, I have been practicing a Holistic style of Skin Care and natural Beauty Practices. This includes training and certification in the areas of Esthetics(professional skin care), Massage, Make-up, Natural Nail Care,Beauty Therapy,Intuitive Health Counseling, and Image Consulting.

I have recently expanded my repertoire to include a consulting practice which draws from the entire spectrum of my career. It started with my early training, apprenticeships, mentors, travels and study in the states and abroad, customer relationships, marketing, product research and development, advanced Esthetic training, product knowledge in all areas of the Beauty Industry, cosmetic chemistry, Holistic Health and Body Care, Paramedic Camouflage Make-Up counseling, film, video, Bridal and daily make-up with an emphasis on troubleshooting and image issues, and specialty massage focusing on head, neck, shoulders, back, feet, arms, and hands. The core of my practice has always been product knowledge and cosmetic chemistry. Daily, I mix and blend throughout the facial and teach my clients to customize their home care regimen to further personalize the way they interact with their own skin and the circumstances that created problems they may now be dealing with.

This empowers them to take charge of the health of their skin. When a person is consistently touching their skin with high quality, effective products - personally chosen for them - they become deeply involved with the nature of their individual skin's unique metabolism, and with the health of their entire body. The skin speaks if we watch and feel. Foods that we eat have an immediate effect on the skin - picking or damaging the skin also has an immediate effect on how we look and feel about ourselves. My philosophy is one of an interactive relationship with my clients and their skin. I call this "skin mentoring". The body of knowledge that is my career is within me and around me in my life - the reservoir that I draw from continuously in the atmosphere of the business I have created. Anything is possible if we are brave enough to just do it! I provide guidance, hope, belief, and enthusiasm to my clients as I help them with their skin. There is no better teacher than the work itself - touching several hundred people each month has been an invaluable gift. Thank-you to all of the clients/friends who have made Skin Deep what it is today! - Liz Wist
