Chemical Peels, Sugaring & Apothecary Harvest Party

Posted on by

Happy Fall! We hope you are enjoying the change of seasons and perhaps getting back into some nice routines.

CHEMICAL PEEL SERIES – now is a great time of the year to try a chemical peel or a series! This treatment will encourage your skin to repair itself revealing healthier, younger looking skin. These treatments have a cumulative impact if done in a series.

10% off if you book a package of 4 peels. Or try one and see the instant results! Applies to both LactoFlora and Micro Retinol Peels.

SUGARING – We now offer sugaring services! We love this option for its gentleness on the skin (less painful than waxing), its ability to grab shorter hairs (less waiting time for regrowth) and its all natural ecofriendly formula. In addition, the results tend to last longer and there’s less redness. We invite you to give it a try, it’s a great alternative to waxing!

HARVEST PARTY – Save the date for our harvest party open house! We will be celebrating the new and existing herbal vendors, offering give aways, discounts, chair massage and more! Bring a friend, sip on elixirs and check out the copper hydrosol still demo as we welcome some new vendors including Botany of Being, Anima Mundi and Sacred Abundance. Thursday, October 24th from 4-7pm. Bring a friend!

AFTERGLOW MAKEUP – Ask us about our complimentary basic makeup application. Add to any facial so you’re ready to go back out into the world.

We hope to see you soon!

“Came in for a full leg and bikini wax. Tera did a great job. She was professional, mellow and fun to chat with. The space is really well put together, full of hand picked antique/restored furniture, very clean and calming. The location is a little hard to spot from the road if you’re just driving by but there is off street parking around the back. I’ll definitely be going here again!” -L.L.

“I couldn’t be more thrilled to find this new Skincare and Massage studio! Milk Thistle is extremely serene and beautiful inside. This is what walking into a spa should feel like! The colors are soothing, the music relaxing, and the smell instantly calming. Before my treatment I was able to use their sauna to further relax and loosen my muscles. A nice touch! Both therapists are amazing. Tera is the best masseuse I have ever been to. She has given me both incredibly soothing, relaxing massages and therapeutic massage. She was able to work on a calf injury that has been bothering me for some time. She is a true healer and her work on my leg has sped up my recovery. I can’t get enough of her massages! Tera also has the most delicate manner of lash tinting. I have very sensitive eyes and she was able to give me dramatically beautiful lashes without any irritation whatsoever. I couldn’t be happier! I have also experienced fantastic services from Jessica. I recently got the rejuvenating collagen facial from Jessica. Jessica has the perfect “touch” for facial work. Her hands can work some relaxation magic! The foot and scalp massages incorporated into the facial took it up a notch. Jessica really goes the extra mile! My skin was glowing after and I received several compliments on my complexion that evening! Jessica is also a wonderful waxer and really is able to minimize the pain of waxing while achieving smooth and lasting results. Both Tera and Jessica have the incredible attention to detail that I expect from a top-notch spa. This place is sensory perfection and I am looking forward to my next visit!” -Sara Duncan
