West End Skin Care
An intimate skincare boutique with a wellness approach offering expert skincare, and master level hair removal services. A seacoast favorite hideaway!
A season of change is here. 🍂
The first day of fall always feels like a little invitation to shift gears, settle back into our routines, and make room for what’s next.
And there’s a lot to look forward to at West End Skincare this season…
✨ A new member joining our little dream team
✨ A fresh fall facial protocol
✨ New body care arriving for the season
✨ And our Glow Up Beauty Bar launching next month!
Change isn’t always easy (even when it’s good change), but it feels a whole lot sweeter when there are fun things waiting on the other side.
We’re embracing this new season, and we can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on.
Happy first day of fall from all of us at West End Skincare. Stay tuned… there’s more to come. 🤍
It’s time for a little fall skin clean-up. 🍂
Crisp mornings, cozy sweaters and changing leaves are here. And while some of us are ready, we know our summer lovers are holding on. We see you. 😂
For those ready to lean in, our professional Pumpkin Purifying Enzyme Peel is a beautiful way to refresh what summer left behind.
Pumpkin enzymes gently exfoliate, lactic acid refines and hydrates, and nourishing botanicals help clarify and replenish dull, congested skin.
No need to wage war on your skin to get it glowing again. Just a little seasonal refresh.
And for our summer holdouts? We can absolutely omit the pumpkin. No pumpkin, no mums, no judgment. 😉

RESTORATIVE FACE CREAM 🌿
Everyone’s favorite Botnia Restorative Cream is stocked for fall.
After 20+ years of working with skin, I’ve learned that more actives aren’t always the answer. Sometimes, it’s about giving your skin what it truly needs.
Nature provides many of the actives we’re looking for, without all the extras.
Botnia’s Restorative Cream combines hyaluronic acid, plant peptides, and nourishing botanical oils to support your skin barrier, lock in hydration, and leave your complexion soft, plump, and dewy without feeling heavy.
WESC Skin Tip: Before reaching for another exfoliant this fall, check in with your skin barrier. Dryness and tightness may be asking for nourishment, not more correction.
Your fall skin essential is back in stock. 🌿

A little fresh flower magic at West End. 🌿🌸
Our exterior planters just got a beautiful seasonal refresh thanks to Sinful Blooms, and they couldn’t feel more at home here.
One of my favorite things is coming to work and being surprised by our beautiful new flowers! Somehow, Sinful Blooms always knows just what our little corner of the West End needs.
We love supporting talented local businesses, and we’re so grateful for the beauty they bring to our studio season after season.
Come take a peek next time you’re in. 🤍

Wishing you a wonderful long weekend as we settle into that little in-between season. ☀️🍂
Whether you’re squeezing every last drop out of summer, getting organized for the busy season ahead, or doing a little bit of both, we hope you find some time to recharge, reset & enjoy.
Soak it up. Slow it down. Get organized… or don’t. 😉 There’s always Tuesday.
Happy Labor Day Weekend from all of us at West End Skincare! 💛

There’s something special about finding an esthetician you trust. ✨
We love hearing how Jenny’s skill, intuition and care translate into an experience that feels just as restorative as it is results focused.
Every facial at West End Skincare is thoughtfully tailored to you, your skin and what it needs that day.
Thank you for trusting us with your skin and for sharing such kind words. 🤍

Did your retinol take the summer off? ☀️🍂
Fall is the perfect time to ease back into your active skincare routine. And if traditional retinol has never agreed with your skin, meet Botnia’s Well Serum. 🌿
This algae powered retinol alternative supports healthy cell renewal while helping improve the look of fine lines, texture, pigmentation and breakouts, all while keeping the skin barrier in mind.
Renew, nourish and support the barrier. A more holistic approach to aging well.
Curious if Well is right for your fall routine? Come see us. And yes, SPF stays year round. ☀️

Still soaking in two incredible days of learning with Botnia. 🌿
A huge thank you to Justine Kahn and the Botnia team for another inspiring workshop. From Marcelline Goyen’s discussion on the skin-gut axis to a deeper look at the microbiome, pH, and how Botnia’s formulations interact with the skin, there was so much to take in.
After 20+ years in this industry, this evolution in skincare is incredibly exciting. We’re learning more about supporting the skin’s natural environment rather than constantly trying to correct it, and how much that can change the way we approach skin health.
I’m heading back into the treatment room inspired, curious, and with plenty to share. 🌱

A few little things can make a big difference before your facial. ✨
Give retinol and exfoliating products a rest for 3–5 days beforehand, and let us know about any medications, recent procedures, injections, irritation, cold sores or unexpected skin changes. When in doubt, a quick check-in before your appointment is always best.
Get your workout in first, take out your contacts if you can, silence the phone and give yourself a little breathing room afterward.
Then simply show up, settle in and let us take it from there. 💛
