Skincare & Beauty

In the grand scheme of things, tending regularly to a skincare and beauty routine is technically optional, but doing so can make you feel so much better both within your skin and about it. Whether your interests lie in receiving facials, non-invasive lifting techniques (microcurrent, CTM, NLT, and gua sha), advanced skincare treatments (peels, microdermabrasion, hydrodermabrasion, dermaplaning, and nanoneedling), waxing, and/or tinting, Repose Spa Studio has got you covered—Laura and Amy are beyond happy to help you achieve a healthier version of your physical self.

We are all aging.

Every second of every minute of every day, we are aging, but we want you to look in the mirror and see that you are aging gracefully. Very few of us have been gifted with outstanding genes in terms of our visible aging. Most of us have to do at least a little work to achieve the radiant skin we desire. That work should feel enjoyable, luxurious, and like time well spent on yourself. Allow us to help you with that.

The knowledge, skills, techniques, and rituals that Laura and Amy implement in the treatment room can complement your daily sink-side habits of self-care at home and are important for maintaining a luminous complexion; however, our facials are about far more than cleansing, exfoliating, and treating the skin. A significant portion of our facials are designed to relax you (allowing you to exhale and surrender so that you can ease into a “rest and digest” state, releasing those furrowed brows and tight lips), to stimulate blood flow (helping to give you a healthy, rosy glow), to help drain and move lymph (assisting in detoxification and reducing puffiness), and manipulating muscles and connective tissue (releasing and lifting the anchors that are drawing your face downward as you age).

Repose Spa Studio carries four skincare lines in-house for professional treatments, with retail available for your at-home care (and we can drop-ship anything that isn’t readily available at the studio):

Epicuren® Discovery is a line with which Laura had been enamored since 2006 when she worked at a spa in Mt. Pleasant, SC that carried it. Not even an Esthetician yet, she loved the line and every product she tried therein. As a result, Epicuren® stayed on her short list for that day down the line that she would work for herself. Their products are made with solar power, are cruelty-free, non-GMO, many products are vegan-friendly and are formulated with certified organic and/or eco-cert ingredients. This is the line on which the foundation for Repose Spa Studio was built.

As a small business, we humbly request that you purchase your Epicuren products directly from our shop (online or brick-and-mortar), but if you would rather purchase from Epicuren directly for some reason, please at least use our link so we get a small affiliate referral fee. (It’s hard being a small retail business in the world of the internet!) When you purchase with us, you may pick up your products from Repose Spa Studio or we can ship to you.

In November 2021, Laura brought in Osmosis Beauty, which aligns beautifully with Repose Spa Studio. A holistic-medical line, Osmosis has a foundation in holistic medicine but uses non-toxic and pharmaceutical-grade ingredients sourced from organic raw materials. Not only can Laura and Amy continue to ask the question “Where does this problem stem from and how can we address that in a healthy way?” rather than just “How do we make this look better?”, but they can now offer more solutions. Osmosis uses results-driven, high-quality ingredients that are bioavailable to and compatible with the human body, so you can be assured that your skincare products are less aggressive and irritating to your skin, and more harmonious with your body in general. Repose carries both the Osmosis Skincare products and their Wellness line, which includes supplements and internal solutions. Ben Johnson, MD, is the mastermind behind Osmosis and is happy to support and work personally with the professionals who have embraced his philosophy. Repose Spa Studio is proud to be part of this professional network. After all, our skin is our body’s largest organ and, as an organ, it functions synergistically with everything housed inside of its protective sheath. Many of their products are oncology approved; furthermore, they are approved for sensitive- and health-challenged skin, are paraben-free, gluten-free, sulfate-free, and are Leaping Bunny certified. The packaging is all recyclable and uses soy-based ink.

“I created Osmosis to help with the evolution of skincare by moving away from the old paradigm of wounding the skin, and instead focused on eliminating the bottlenecks that prevent your skin from repairing itself. Permanent changes are possible, your skin just needs to be inspired.” — Ben Johnson, MD

As a small business, we humbly request that you purchase your Osmosis products directly from our shop (online or brick-and-mortar). In fact, online sales of the Osmosis MD line (the black bottles are prescription strength) aren’t permitted, so you’ll need to contact Laura or Amy directly if you would like any of those products. We get no sort of affiliate referral fee from sales on the Osmosis website—only our own. (It’s hard being a small retail business in the world of the internet!) When you purchase with us, you may pick up your products from Repose Spa Studio or we can ship to you.

In April 2024, after a lot of research for a trusted, high performing, organic brand, Laura decided to bring in Green Envee Organics. Green Envee starts with pure and potent ingredients. In fact, they’re dedicated to the entire life of the plants they harvest, starting at the seed. Their P.U.R.I.T.Y. promise:
Proper Seed Choice
Ultimate Climate for Growth
Responsibility for the Environment
Integrity of Cultivation
Tested for Trusted Quality
Yielded for Highest Therapeutic Response

Furthermore, Green Envee has their Toxic Nix It List, which consists of ingredients that are avoided because they are linked to cancer, reproductive issues, organ toxicity, and/or severe skin irritation. (The E.U. has 1800+ ingredients that aren’t allowed in their cosmetic- and personal-care products. Green Envee follows this model.) And, of course, this brand yields results!

As a small business, we humbly request that you purchase your Green Envee products directly from our shop (online or brick-and-mortar). We get no sort of affiliate referral fee from sales on the Green Envee website—only our own. (It’s hard being a small retail business in the world of the internet!) When you purchase with us, you may pick up your products from Repose Spa Studio or we can ship to you.

In August 2024, Laura partnered with Viktoria De’Ann Peptide Cosmeceuticals—a line she had been researching for over a year. These phenomenal, pharmaceutical-grade peptide serums are paraben-free and deliver outstanding results quickly. If you want to learn more about the science behind how these peptides work, click here.

Viktoria De’Ann sells exclusively through trusted licensed professionals such as ourselves and they don’t outsource their labs—everything is formulated in-house, which keeps their prices reasonable. Results and affordability!?! Win-win. Although Viktoria De’Ann does not allow online sales, we do sell their products out of our brick-and-mortar shop, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any inquiries. You may pick up your products from Repose Spa Studio or we can ship to you.
