Tis' the season, and let me tell you something, if giving yourself a full pampering session is on…read moreyour list for Santa, I have got just the local minority woman-owned small business for you! Skyn Smooth™ specializes is just about everything you need to get the world off of your back...literally! The owner Britt is a Licensed Esthetician and Master Brazilian Sugarer. She does amazing EVERYTHING: Full Body Sugaring and Waxing, Facials, Vagacials, Hydrojelly Masks, Hungarian Mud Masks, Eyebrow Waxing and Henna Tinting...did I say Vagacials? LOL There is also a line of products offered for clients to purchase to continue maintenance at home. The best part is that Skyn Smooth has two locations: Carbondale and O'Fallon, so customers can book for the time and location that is most convenient for them. Anything that you can think of that needs to be removed or refreshed, Britt, the Esthetician Goddess (as I refer to her) will handle with finesse and care. The atmosphere created by Britt at Skyn Smooth is serene, quaint, and calming. Everything is very clean and sanitary, and Britt's personality is absolutely perfect for the line of work she has been chosen for. When I met Britt at her Carbondale location the first time, we hit it off immediately. Hey, when you have someone getting really close to you in a matter of minutes, you need to feel comfortable with them. Amen Church? Amen! I also appreciate the fact that she advertises on her social media and website that she accepts ALL as evidenced by this statement: "Skyn Smooth™ exists to provide a place to enhance, encourage, impower, uplift and guide one on their skin care journey, provide a warming environment and a listening ear to all future and current clients. Skyn Smooth™ is a judgement free zone. All shapes, sizes, and identities are welcome." Now I can really support a business with that type of mindset, and I do. I encourage you to support this business as well. It's always the perfect time to treat yourself and/or someone else to a pampering session. When you book your appointment or buy a few gift certificates, tell Britt that Kindra Speech sent ya!

She takes the time to explain every step of the facial process which made me feel really comfortable. You can tell she actually knows her stuff and cares about what she's doing.

I did the house facial with Nicole. Great convo about my personal skin history up top. She like MASSAGES your face. It was like the perfect pressure IMO. The product line she has smells good but isn't super heavy (again my jam). She did a light thing that she explained but was relaxing i stead of listening. Having had pretty significant acne in my youth, I'm precious about my derm approved products. Nicole was like would be cool if I could have sat in home care and I understand so you tell me when you are ready. This is also how I would like that handled. So overall, great facial and easy to talk to Nicole!

The yoga was a lot different than what we are used to but I dug it. Focus is mainly on Hatha yoga.
