Skincare by Carrie - San Juan Capistrano, California

Diane T. S.

Carrie is hands down THE BEST aesthetician I have ever had! And I have been getting facials for decades. I was lucky enough to find Carrie nearly 7 years ago, and my skin has never looked better.

It’s not a one-size-fits-all facial experience with Carrie, like so many out there. At the beginning of every facial, she assesses my skin’s needs and asks if I have any particular concerns. She ensures I am comfortable and gears my facial to address exactly what my skin needs at that particular moment.

She’s used acoustic sound therapy and micro current as the two main modalities on me. I’ve had restorative facials, and different masks, different exfoliators and cleansers depending on the condition of my skin when I walk through her door. My last facial she included a pumpkin MC enzyme. “I love the fall enzymes and this one is my favorite,” she said. Mine, too, now. Amazing! She calls the enzymes “chompers” removing dead skin leaving room for healthy glowing skin and growth. And I love her CO-2 lift pro-mask. It is so replenishing and refreshing.

Besides the skin care, Carrie provides a safe relaxing space. When I lie down, literally all my cares melt away for that session. The environment is boutique spa-like. Love love love it!

A little advice: You might consider making appointments a month or so in advance. I make two or three in advance. She’s that good.

She also gives back to her clients on a regular basis. I’m looking forward to her upcoming Black Friday holiday “sip and shop.” So much fun and great deals.

As you can see, I can't say enough great things about my years of experience with Carrie’s work. I have one later today, and am SO looking forward to it. I'm lucky I found her.

I came to Carrie at my wits end. My skin was angry, unkind, and desperately in need of love and attention - at which I didn’t know where to go after spending $500+ at a beauty store, and following advice online. I did the “I’m now sure what facial I need?” and it gave me answers and steps to move forward in bettering my skin. Carrie is so thorough in explaining what is going on, and helps you find the answers as to why. Sorrella Apothecary has been my saving grace - I use the Orange Face Wash, Lemon Lightning, and Blueberry Milk Lotion. Additionally their Step 1 & 2 exfoliating wipes. My acne was out of control, and no matter what I did helped in any way - but Carrie helped guide me in a positive direction and manage and wipe-out what caused me so much pain and recession from social activities. I’m happy and overjoyed with the skin I’m in, and have her to thank for it. I’ll never visit a beauty store again, thank you for giving me and my skin new life!

Carrie is passionate about about skincare and providing services that help boost the skin's natural qualities instead of fillers and botox. I have been going to her for a couple of years and recently decided to give micro-channeling a go. I have been so pleased with the results so far, especially at smoothing out some of the acne scarring on my cheeks. I don't wear a lot of make up so it's nice to feel more confident in my own skin...literally.

On a personal note, I have had a tough year and finding time for appointments with Carrie was how I ensured some self care. If it was quiet I needed, then Carrie always respected that. If I needed to talk about what my family was going through, she provided a sensitive ear. If what I REALLY needed was a chat and a giggle, she easily provided that too.

I always feel at ease in Carrie's presence and trust her guidance in my skincare. If she's booked up, make sure you follow her Instagram and snag a cancellation. Otherwise, book out ahead - she is worth the wait!

I found Carrie through a girlfriend and I am so thankful for the recommendation. This was my second treatment, which was perfect. Carrie uses a holistic approach to skincare and my skin is responding well. Noticing the redness going away and less acne. I appreciate that she recommends services and products in a respectful manner. . . I never feel pressured.

Carrie I look forward to coming in for many years to come! THANK YOU!

I was lucky enough to be gifted a session with Carrie and now I'm indebted to the gifter for life!!! Carrie took care of my aging skin and took 10 years off what I saw in the mirror when she was done! She totally hooked me up! It was so luxurious and reminded me that I should take this kind of care of myself waaaay more often! I will book an appt again because I deserve to be treated this well all the time! Thanks Carrie! I appreciate it very much! AND, YES, I would recommend Carrie...to EVERYONE!

Carrie has been doing my facials for years. She makes it a very personal experience, choosing just the right treatments for your skin and its needs. I love the results and would recommend her to anyone who wants to see their skin glow.

Carrie is professional, friendly and well-educated on the latest skincare research and treatments. She is dedicated to providing a personal experience for each client and customizes treatment plans based on the needs of your skin. I have been a client for over a year and will never change.

I have been getting facials by Carrie for over three years now. After my very first facial friends asked me what I had done because there was a noticeable difference in my skin. Today I had my most recent facial, I’ve lost count of how many I’ve had with her, and my skin feels firm, clean and fresh. Carrie always does something special with each treatment and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is considering improving the look and texture of their skin.
