A few things we’ll always consider kinda chic:
Looking after your skin barrier. Keeping your appointments booked. Taking an hour for yourself before you desperately need one.

We often hear, "I've been meaning to book for months."

At Upkeep, we believe self-care isn't a reward for getting through the hard season. It's one of the things that helps you through it.
Your skin, your body, and your mind all appreciate a little consistency.
We'll keep the tea warm ☕

Today was about more than getting out on the water, it was about getting out of our comfort zones. 💙🌊
As a team, we spent the day laughing, learning, challenging ourselves, and trying things that were new to us. Some of us learned to drive a pontoon for the first time, while others bravely jumped into the water for the very first time!
And somewhere between the sunshine, the laughter, and a few moments of “I’m not sure about this…” came some beautiful reminders:
✨ Growth happens when we challenge ourselves.
✨ Confidence grows when someone believes in us.
✨ Trying something new can turn into some of our happiest memories.
✨ And life is always a little more fun when you have a great team beside you.
I’m so proud of the women who make up our team—not just for the incredible work they do every day, but for the courage, kindness, strength, and willingness to support and encourage one another.
Today reminded me that the strongest teams aren’t built only at work. They’re built through shared experiences, laughter, trust, and cheering each other on.
Feeling very grateful for this team and all the beautiful energy they bring. 🩷
Here’s to stepping outside our comfort zones, embracing new experiences, and growing together! 🌊☀️✨
The Barrier Repair Facial has officially arrived, featuring Esau Skincare Blue Tansy Booster Oil and Ceramide Barrier Cream.
If your skin has been acting a little dramatic lately, consider this your intervention.
Book yours today.
