Ask the Esty: Divine Complexions Spa Owner Christine Lewy

Divine Complexions was born out of owner Christine Lewy's need for a pink escape -- with 5 boys at home, she has created a wonderfully relaxing spa oasis where every guest is treated like royalty. 

We sat down with Christine to chat about what she loves about being an esthetician, and her best advice for maintaining healthy and glowing skin all year long.

What is your favorite thing about being an esthetician?

It is my absolute passion. I was always that little girl that begged everyone to let me do their makeup -- its just always felt like something I was supposed to be doing!

What’s one essential piece of skin care advice that you tell all of your clients?

Definitely to use sun protection, no matter what!

What do you consider the biggest benefit of facials?

Clients come to me looking to get that clear, radiant skin they’ve always dreamed of.

Facials are a key way to do this, and allow me to transform my client's skin into a beautiful, glowing complexion.

(Before/after with Repechage Opti-Firm Eye Contour Treatment)

What is one facial that you have seen dramatic results with?

Definitely the Opti-Firm Eye Contour Treatment and Vita Cura 5 Phase Firming Facial-- clients love the results!

What’s your favorite facial or body service to perform?

The Vita Cura 5 Phase Firming Facial which helps to target concerns such a fine lines and wrinkles -- we call it our Ageless Complexion Facial!

What is your go-to Repêchage product and why?

I would say the Vita Cura® Opti-Lift® Serum -- it gives an instant and dramatic result!

How long have you been using Repêchage and what changes have the products made in your skin?

I've been using Repechage products for over seven years now. 

My face has such a radiant glow. 

People will ask me, “How do I get that skin?” and I tell them Repechage!

For people that do not currently follow a skin care regimen, what do you recommend as their first step?

Get a good cleanser! Even if you don't wear makeup, you should cleanse morning and night.

What’s the best piece of advice for a healthy life and healthy skin?

Consistency.

Whether it's eating healthy, exercising, or maintaining a skin care routine, it’s all about being consistent to get the results you want.

Name 3 of your top Beauty SEACRETS!

1. Using a hydration spray after cleansing and throughout the day, like Algo Mist.
2. Drink water! The more water you drink, the better your skin and makeup will look.
3. Get a peel once a month. It gets that dead layer of skin off and gives you that revitalized, perfect complexion.

What is your best tip for getting clients to return?

Customer service and treating your clients like they’re queens! It's important to really get to know them and taking care of them consistently.

You always want to do something a little extra, too: making sure you’re getting their blackheads removed even if the service doesn't call for that, or offering them a makeup application.

Good customer service is definitely the way to get clients coming back time after time.

What is your best tip for attracting new clients?

Posting before/after photos of the results other clients have gotten.

We’ve had clients come in and reference the pictures they've seen, looking for those results!
