SKIN WISDOM
Guiding your journey to truly healthy skin
The Roots of Skin Wisdom
So much of Skin Wisdom comes from the life I have lived — from the experiences that shaped me, from what my own skin has taught me, and from the sense of being guided along a path that was already unfolding.
Over time, I’ve learned to listen more closely to the body’s and nature’s innate intelligence and to the ways everything is connected. The body, the skin, and nature each reveal something real. All of this has brought me here and forms the foundation of how I work with skin today. These are sources of wisdom I bring into my work.
The Pleasure of Caring
for My Skin
​I genuinely love the skincare I use — the scents, the textures, the way the plants reveal their healing power from the moment they touch my skin. These small rituals are one of the ways I enjoy my life and my space.
They help me connect to myself, to nature, and to the beauty and intelligence of the plants. Being in my bathroom, taking that time, smelling and feeling everything — it’s a sanctuary for me. It’s nourishing, grounding, and meaningful because I can feel how good these ingredients are for my skin, my body, and my whole state of being.
This experience brings me joy. And it’s one of the reasons I share this work. I want others to feel that same sense of nourishment and enjoyment in their own way.
How I Support the Skin to Heal Itself
Every second, your skin is making decisions. What to let in, what to keep out, and what to neutralize. It checks temperature, humidity, microbes, allergens, chemicals, UV exposure — even emotional stress. Then it adjusts in real time. Your skin isn't just a wall. It's an active intelligence system, a living ecosystem that regulates itself.
It is not passive — it’s responsive.
Nothing heals the skin, but the skin. So how do we best support this?
My approach is simple:
-
work with that intelligence, not against it.
-
Focus on reducing what can overwhelm and damage the skin so it has the space and strength it needs to heal.
-
Re-vitalize the skin to facilitate the process further
Thereby opening up its capacity to reveal the health and beauty within
TESTIMONIALS
"I had a facial with Avril and it was absolutely amazing. She has such an extensive knowledge of holistic and natural skincare, and I learned so much about what my skin actually needs. She took the time to explain what would help with my redness and hydration, and gave me really practical tips for products to use afterward.
​
The natural products she used during the facial felt incredible and my skin was glowing afterward. Her massage was honestly angelic, and I was comfortable and relaxed the entire time. The machine she uses to support the skin’s natural healing abilities was such a cool addition and made everything feel even more rejuvenating.
​
I left feeling calm, nourished, and totally refreshed. I highly recommend seeing Avril if you want a facial that is both deeply relaxing and truly effective."
