It feels like summer is just around the corner here in Boston MA, finally! Our team at Skin Studio is so thankful to our loyal clients for supporting us during some of the craziest times we’ve ever had! During these months, we had some extra time on our hands… So we created a new and exciting beauty tool for us to use in the studio and for you to use as a part of your facials at home 😊 Have you heard of Gua Sha??? (Pronounced ‘gwahshah.’) – If yes, great you’re in the know! Because if not, let us tell you a bit about it…
The term ‘Gua Sha’ comes from the Chinese word ‘gua,’ which means ‘to scrape’ and ‘sha,’ which means ‘sand’. Thus, we will be massaging (or scraping) our skin with light to medium pressure using both long and short strokes to stimulate microcirculation.
By using our new tool you will be enhancing your beauty & self-care rituals with an ancient Chinese massage and healing technique.
The practice of Gua Sha has been proven to:
We designed our new tool using our favorite purple-colored crystal, amethyst. Amethyst is known to have a number of natural healing properties concerning physical, spiritual & emotional health. Moreover, this beautiful crystal is thought to promote stress relief, calmness and boost cell regeneration. In other words, it’s the perfect choice of crystal to create our Gua Sha tool with so we can give you the best facial in Boston that you deserve!
Therefore, with all of that being said – Let’s Gua Sha our faces!!
Our Skin Studio Boston ‘Signature Facial’ includes this rejuvenating massage technique, giving your skin & soul that extra boost of self-care we’re all craving after this crazy past year.
We can’t wait to see you in the studio, come for a facial in Boston!
At Skin Studio, our estheticians are here to help you with your skin needs. It is our goal for you to go home understanding what you can do to improve your skin. Learning about which ingredients are best for your skin type is so important to maintain healthy and glowing skin! Skin Studio carries pharmaceutical grade products with the best ingredients so your skin can stay healthy and glow!
Apply dime size to damp skin and massage over face and neck. Rinse with warm
water. Cleanse twice at night (especially for acne-prone or oily skin),
1 minute each (2 minutes total). The 1st wash removes excess oil,
dirt, make-up & impurities. The 2nd wash cleanses deep into
pores. Cleanser can be used alone or mixed with a facial scrub. Use A.M. and
P.M.
Gently polish away dead skin cells to leave your skin feeling smooth. Exfoliation also helps aid in better absorption of products. Apply to clean, damp skin or mix in with your cleanser and gently massage over face and neck. Depending on your skin conditions, use at least once a week. Don’t forget to exfoliate the crease of your nose, temples, and under jaw line!
Also known as a peel. This form of exfoliation could include various hydroxy acids (i. E. Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Glycolic Acid), Retinol, or enzymes. Each type of exfoliation contains different properties that improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
This type of exfoliation uses gentle scrubbing beads to loosen dead skin cells and smooth out skin texture. A combination of both mechanical and chemical exfoliation can be a great option for your skin! Ask your esthetician which is best for your skin type!
This step hydrates, balances and preps skin. Spray evenly over the face and neck used throughout the day to refresh your skin. Do not let the toner dry! Apply serum on damp skin.
Super concentrated ingredients, depending on the concentration can increase hydration level, firm skin, improve skin texture, clear the skin, and prevent signs of aging. Depending on the serum, it can be used in the morning, and/or at night. Use before moisturizer and after a toner (toner should not dry when applied). Toner, serum, moisturizer.
Depending on the mask, it can increase hydration, promote firming, reduce sensitivity, deep clean, and/or provide multiple vitamins & antioxidants. Apply a thin layer to a clean face and neck for 10-15 minutes (1-2 times per week). Use a mask after cleansing and exfoliating your skin, but before all other products. After you rinse off the mask, apply the rest of your regimen in the proper order.

Summer is just around the corner and the sun is stronger than ever! Sunscreen is an FDA-Regulated product that needs to pass specific tests before they are sold. SPF is a must during these summer months. Here are some tips on what to know about how to protect yourself from harsh sun rays!
1. The UV rays are strongest between 10am & 4pm
Check the strength by using the shadow test: if your shadow is shorter than you are, the sun’s rays are at their strongest! Staying in the shade is the best way to steer clear of the harsh sun.
2. Sunscreen Expires!
On average, sunscreen lasts between 2-3 years. Especially if it has been exposed to heat (i.e. glove box or car trunk), it may be less effective.
3. Choose “Broad Spectrum” Protection!
This label means that is protects against both UVA and UVB rays!
4. Ingredients Matter!
Make sure your sunscreens include active ingredients such as zinc and titanium.
This color-adjusting sunscreen offers flawless coverage and a luminous finish with UVa, UVB and infrared protection. Helps to protect against free radical damage that leads to fine lines and wrinkles, while replenishing hydration without feeling heavy.
A lightweight, oil free formula that provides moisture to combat dehydration and dryness. Gives broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection to guard against the sun’s damaging rays and a sheer hint of color to softly even tone and enhance skin’s radiance.

Skin Studio was founded in Boston in 2005 by Irina Fiksler. Irina is a skin care expert and has been an esthetician for over 18 years. She came from Russia and was trained by highly specialized estheticians in cosmetic and medical treatments at Elizabeth Grady School of Esthetics. Irina started her career by working at a prestigious salon on Newbury Street in Boston. There, she fell in love with skin care treatments and waxing. Consequently, she became a skin care expert and opened Skin Studio to help her clients look their best and improve their confidence.
Irina had felt strongly about helping people with acne, aging, and unwanted hair. She had made it her goal to find the right treatment regimen to prevent breakouts, reduce the signs of aging, and find the most gentle wax for hair removal. Irina has had acne herself and she had long searched for the effective treatments and affordable products to get and maintain the clear complexion she had always wanted. Fortunately she had found the way to clear and prevent acne. That has given her confidence and inspired her to help others.
Irina’s professional goal became to help people to effectively treat common dermatologic conditions. Using the combination of knowledge and experience Irina finds the right treatment to address her client’s specific needs. In addition, as of November 2017, Irina has become an Oncology Certified Esthetician, through intense training and classes. She is so passionate about the industry and wants to help clients with cancer in their healing process, to feel their best.
I was able to sit down with Irina and ask some questions all about her favorite treatments, path to where she is today, and what the next step is for Skin Studio!
“You only have one skin! Be comfortable in your own skin!”
“Every women should have an esthetician or ‘skin guru’ that she can open up to about her skin concerns. It’s SO important to be able to ask skin related questions to someone with the knowledge and background.”
“Use SPF every single day.. it’s a must. We all like Vitamin D and it feels good, but it doesn’t look good when you’re 50 or 60 years old.”
“The Ultimate Facial.. with me! I absolutely love this facial because it incorporates so many different aspects of our studio. You get a little bit of everything!”
“Ultrasonic Exfoliation, Professional Level Chemical Peel, Diamond Microdermabrasion, and the choice between IPL Skin tightening & LED Light Therapy!”
“I also love a Lactic acid peel because it is ultra-hydrating, gentle, helps with pigmentation, and anti-aging. It’s gentle enough for all ages of skin.”
“Continuing education! This is extremely important to me and my studio. I try to take at least 1 class per quarter, whether in-person or online. In addition, I’ve taken various business courses and courses about different skin care services. My next course is all about LED Light Therapy and how beneficial it is for acneic skin and anti-aging. I can’t wait for it!”
“I require our estheticians to take multiple continuing education courses so they can learn new techniques and stay up to date with all of the new and upcoming trends. It’s always important to keep learning!”
“This industry changes every second. New products and new treatments are being introduced all over the place. I am constantly researching and testing the newest trends. However, I always try out the product on myself before offering it to any clients or my team!”
“It is beneficial to surround yourself with successful and like-minded people… especially for women in business – we need to support each other.”
“A great way to stay up-to-date with the constant flow of information is to follow and listen to other skin care professionals and leaders in the field. Therefore, I even belong to many groups and online societies that discuss various new trends (i.e. different clubs, website platforms, monthly classes, podcasts). You can probably catch me listening to a skin care podcast on my way to and from work.
“In the room… extractions. Deep pore cleanings during a facial is definitely one of my favorites.”
“But outside of the room.. seeing the results of the hard work that clients and estheticians put in to get healthy and glowing skin. It’s not easy to maintain all of the aspects and it’s always so exciting to see the hard work pay off!”
“I would absolutely love to create my own skin care line and to share it with all of my lovely clients!”

Anytime I hear people say that they are using birth control pills, antibiotics, or medications such as Accutane to control acne, it causes me concern. The customary treatment for acne is to apply a topical product and/or use an oral medication, but is this the best solution? A better approach that addresses the root cause without the side effects of medications may be worth exploring. This article will discuss some of the lesser known causes of acne and better, safer treatments that consider the root cause; in addition, we’ll look at some complementary therapies. The process of acne development includes heightened levels of inflammation, increased sebum (oil) production, colonization on the skin by Propionibacterium acnes (P. acne), and abnormal keratinization (buildup of skin cells). (1) These issues can lead to inflammatory acne (cysts, papules, nodules, and pustules) and the presence of comedones (white heads or black heads), which can get infected and have encouraged a widespread use of antibiotics, both orally and topically, to treat them. In addition, physicians may prescribe drugs such as Accutane (Isotretinion), which address excess oil from the sebaceous glands. Drugs like Accutane, however, can have serious side effects such as birth defects and liver or DNA damage. (15, 16, 17)
So, what causes acne to happen in the first place?
The more important, deeper issues may be related
to problems with diet, inflammation, hormone imbalance,
digestion, gut bacteria, and stress.
Acne can be caused any of the following:
It is often said that diet has no effect on skin conditions or acne, but more recent studies have found that this is simply not the case. A cross sectional study comparing diets between adults with and without moderate/severe acne found that participants with acne were consuming a diet with a greater amount of carbohydrates and higher glycemic (sugar) load and that they had greater insulin resistance. (2) There are some studies that link dairy consumption with acne, as dairy contains anabolic steroids that promote the increased production of androgens (male hormones) and the subsequent development of acne. (2, 3) A Western diet, in general, which often consists of a high calorie intake, high glycemic load, high fat and meat intake, and significant consumption of dairy proteins, increases androgen hormone secretion and over stimulates sebaceous glands. (5) In addition, for cases of inflammatory acne, high levels of Omega 6’s have been associated with an increase in acne in contrast to Omega 3’s, which decrease inflammation. (6)
Hormone imbalance appears to be a factor in acne. In a study that followed 120 women with acne for 12 months on a birth control pill, which contains chemical hormones, it was found that acne was significantly reduced in 94% of the women. (8) Birth control pills help regulate female hormones, an indicator that addressing the cause of the hormone imbalance would be a better way to control acne—without all the side effects of a birth control pill. There are many risks and side effects associated with the use of the birth control pill, such as Melasma (7), a skin disorder causing skin hyper pigmentation, blood clots and stroke (18), and the possible risk of breast cancer. (4) More information on birth control risks and side effects for a future blog.
We eliminate toxins in the body from the skin, digestive, and urinary systems by stool, urine, and sweat. If the digestive system isn’t running smoothly, then toxins may exit by an alternative route, such as the skin. A study done on 13,000 adolescents with acne found an increased prevalence of halitosis (bad breath), GERD (heartburn), bloating, and constipation in the participants. (9) Systemic and topical antibiotics have long played a central role in acne therapy. (1) Antibiotic use has been linked to rising rates of antimicrobial resistance, disruption of the gut micro-biome leading to overgrowth of harmful bacteria and development of allergies. (12) The use of probiotics may be beneficial in treating acne—in a study using probiotics for the gut, marked improvement in acne was shown. (10) Long-term use of antibiotics can also disrupt the delicate balance of bacteria on and below the skin surface. In a review of the literature about the gut-brain- skin connection in acne, it was surmised that there is enough evidence to suggest that the gut microbes and the integrity of the gut lining are contributing factors in the acne development process. (11)
Lifestyle factors such as stress and sleep may also play a role in acne development. A cross-sectional study of 144 sixth-year female medical students showed that stress severity strongly correlated with an increase in acne severity. (13) In addition, there is growing research to connect lack of sleep with acne. (14) Sleep has an impact on hormone and immune regulation so getting your Zzzz’s is an important factor in keeping hormones balanced and your immune system working strong to control acne.
As we’ve seen, many factors can affect the development of acne,
so here are some key things you can do to help prevent or treat it:
• Eat a low-glycemic diet – Fruits (berries are best) and vegetables (especially leafy greens), clean proteins like organic, pasture raised meats, poultry and eggs, and wild fish
• Healthy fats- eliminate trans fats and reduce Omega 6 fats (seed and vegetable oils like soybean and canola) and eat plenty of Omega 3 rich fats like wild caught salmon and ground flax seed
• Eat zinc-rich foods – Oysters, lamb, chicken, ginger, pecans, and pumpkin seeds
• Eat high fiber foods – Vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds that help support the good bacteria in your gut and encourage elimination of toxins
• Drink plenty of clean water throughout the day, ideally half your body weight in ounces to help flush toxins out
• Eat vitamin A rich foods – Spinach, carrots, yams, eggs, ghee, fish
• Take probiotics – They balance gut bacteria, which has an effect on the skin
• Address stress management – Meditation, Heart Math, yoga, acupuncture and massage can all help to reduce stress
• Sleep – Get good quality sleep, preferably between the hours of 10 P.M. and 6 A.M., when your body is in sync with its circadian rhythm and does the most repair work.
• Sugar – It feeds yeast and candida, which creates inflammation and imbalance in the gut and shows up on the skin
• Gluten and wheat – Causes inflammation in the gut, which shows up on the skin
• Dairy – Promotes androgen production and acne
• Processed and refined foods – Breads, cookies, cakes, and crackers that break down into sugar and may contain gluten
• Hydrogenated oils – Found in fried or processed foods and can cause inflammation
While working on the root cause of acne, there are also several wonderful physical approaches to treating acne. These can be especially useful for patients with moderate to severe acne. Two of these treatments are phototherapy and chemical peels. It’s best to work with a dermatologist or an aesthetician who can address your concerns and customize a facial for you using professional strength enzymes, exfoliators, corrective peels, serums, and masks along with LED light therapy. LED light helps stimulate collagen and elastin production (great for anti-aging too), kill bacteria, and heal acne. Regular facials can keep your skin looking its best while you work at a deeper level. In conclusion, instead of taking medications that have associated risks and side effects, it may be safer and more effective to approach acne from its root cause while incorporating some physical therapies. In addition to the dietary and lifestyle changes suggested above, it may also be helpful to work with a functional medicine or functional nutrition practitioner to help you balance your hormones and blood sugar levels as well as improve your gut micro-biome, sleep quality, and stress levels. Finally, working on digestion and the integrity of the gut lining, and utilizing healing foods, probiotics, and supplements may all help substantially to bring acne under control and give you the clearer skin you are seeking.
