At Salt & Sage, we believe skincare should feel restorative, not overwhelming. Your skin has its own natural intelligence, an ecosystem known as the microbiome, working every day to protect, renew, and maintain balance. But between stress, environmental exposure, and harsh products, our skin’s equilibrium can easily be disrupted, leaving it feeling dull, reactive, or congested.

That’s why we created the Refresh Facial: a treatment designed to help your skin reset gently and effectively, using plant-based ingredients that work with your skin, not against it.

A Facial Tailored Just for You

No two facials at Salt & Sage are ever the same. Every treatment begins with a thoughtful skin assessment, where we take the time to observe and understand what your skin needs today. From there, we build your facial step by step using Botnia Skincare’s raw apothecary—small-batch, botanically-based products crafted to nourish and support your skin’s natural functions.

Your Refresh Facial may include:

• A gentle double cleanse to calm and clarify
• A customized enzyme or AHA exfoliation to brighten without irritation
• Calming neck, shoulder, and facial massage to encourage circulation and relaxation
• Gentle, thorough extractions (if needed) to clear congestion
• A soothing mask mixed fresh just for your skin

Each step is carefully chosen to nurture your skin’s natural ability to find balance—leaving you refreshed, glowing, and calm.

Who It’s For
The Refresh Facial is designed to be supportive for all skin types, but it’s especially helpful if you experience:

• Imbalanced skin—sometimes oily, sometimes dry
• Sensitivity to harsh products or treatments
• Occasional breakouts or congestion
• General stress-related skin changes
• Hyperpigmentation/discoloration
• Skin that feels dull or fatigued

If your skin feels like it’s out of sync, this facial offers a gentle, supportive way to restore clarity and calm, without aggressive treatments or overcorrection.

The Importance of the Skin’s Microbiome
Healthy skin starts with a healthy microbiome. This protective layer of beneficial bacteria helps prevent irritation, regulate oil production, and support overall skin clarity. Many conventional treatments strip the skin, disrupting this natural barrier. At Salt & Sage, our approach focuses on restoring and maintaining harmony, encouraging the skin to thrive by supporting its natural rhythms.

Continue the Care at Home
Your facial is just the beginning of your skin’s renewal process. After each session, your esthetician will offer personalized product recommendations, helping you create an at-home routine that continues to support your skin between visits. There’s no pressure—just thoughtful, professional guidance to help you care for your skin in a way that feels approachable and effective.

Ready for a Reset?
If your skin feels like it needs a fresh start, the Refresh Facial is your invitation to slow down, reconnect, and give your skin exactly what it’s asking for. With gentle botanicals, mindful touch, and supportive care, we’ll help you find balance—one customized facial at a time.
