If you have always been into skincare, you have probably heard of and ultimately wanted to have glass skin.
When we think of 'glass skin,' we think of poreless, baby-smooth skin no matter what light hits you, and while it's a great goal to have, it's impossible to achieve. Our skin needs pores to produce the natural oils essential to protecting our skin. As we go through our journey, we will also experience the natural signs of aging that would cause us to develop fine lines and wrinkles that contribute to the texture that stops us from having 'glass skin.'
What can we do to get the closest to smooth, texture-free skin without the impossible expectations of what 'glass skin' usually entails? The answer: rituals that help prevent and manage texture.
Good to know: Texture could be from several things, from pores, acne marks & scars, and fine lines & wrinkles (or a combination of all of them!) While it's correct to instantly think of deep pores when we hear rough skin texture, a lot more could cause rough skin texture.
Minimizing visible pores & acne marks
Your Rituals of Choice: The Pore-Refining Ritual & Intense Pore-Refining Ritual
How it works: Creates micro-scars on the skin using an ablative laser to induce collagen production involved in healing scars. Try to think of healing from a knee scar but at an extremely tiny, micro level. Underneath the scab is a newly produced, smooth skin surface that makes it look like the wound was never there in the first place.
The results:
Smoothening out stubborn marks & pitted skin
Your Rituals of Choice: Lift + Restore Ritual & Intense Lift + Restore Ritual
How it works: Uses the power of ablative laser treatment to work on a combination of deep, enlarged pores and acne marks that make skin texture appear rougher and more pitted alongside a non-ablative laser that works within the skin to tighten and lift it, making pores appear tighter and smaller.

Managing fine lines & wrinkles
Your Ritual of Choice: Ultherapy®️
How it works: Works within specific points deep within the layers of the skin to boost collagen production using focused ultrasound energy to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and loose skin. All this without having to go under the knife or facing needlework on your skin.
The results:
Glowed up & smooth: Alternate Your Ritual of Choice with The Essential Facial to get hydrated skin that reduces the appearance of dryness that further highlights the texture. Additionally, it helps prevent breakouts that cause acne marks & scars, reduces the buildup in pores that make them look enlarged and gives your skin the nourishment it needs to combat the early signs of aging.
