Okay this trio has quietly become my ride-or-die set + I keep reaching for it when my winterized skin starts acting dramatic.

You know the vibe…
tight, dull, cranky, “why do I look tired even when I’m not?” skin.

Enter: Nickel City’s Skin Hero Trinity
aka your cold weather survival kit.

✨ Boost: Vitamin C + Bakuchiol
Brightens things up, smooths texture, gives that “I drink water and mind my business” glow without the irritation spiral.

💧 Quench: HA + Pomegranate
Big drink of water for your face. Plump, juicy, bouncy skin. The kind you can’t stop touching (respectfully).

🌿 Blue: Blue Tansy + Butterfly Pea Flower
This one’s the exhale. Calms redness, soothes stressed out skin, smells like your nervous system just clocked out early.

Together?
Brighten, hydrate, calm.
Simple. Solid. No drama.

It’s basically skincare and therapy in three little bottles.

Perfect for winter.
Perfect for barrier repair.
Perfect for when your skin and your soul both need a hug.

If your face has been feeling a little “Buffalo January,” this is your sign.

If the world feels heavy, come exhale here.

If the weight of everything has felt a little harder to carry lately... you're not alone.

The world has been loud. Heavy. Constant.
There’s a kind of emotional static in the air... grief, urgency, heartbreak, fear
and most of us are absorbing more than we realize.
Even if you can’t name it, your body feels it.

And maybe what you need isn’t advice.
Isn’t motivation.
Isn’t to “power through.”

Maybe what you need is quiet.
A warm room.
A grounded presence.
Someone to help your nervous system remember what calm feels like, even for a moment.

That’s what this space is here for.

We’ve have a few sessions this week for anyone needing a place to land. There’s no pressure, no expectation—just practitioners who know how to hold steady ground when the world feels like too much.

If that kind of space would feel good to you right now, you’re welcome here. You can come as you are.

A little love note for Hannah 🤍

She recently finished her dermaplaning certification and has been quietly perfecting her craft behind the scenes. Extra practice, slower massage, really thoughtful touch. The kind of care you can feel the second you’re on the table.

She’s gentle, knowledgeable and genuinely wants what’s best for your skin. No rushing, no fluff. Just solid, feel-good skincare.

If winter has your skin feeling dry, dull or a little tired, her Winter Glow Facial is a really nice reset.

Through January you’ll receive
$25 off the service
• a mini sample from our Nickel City Skin + Body Care Goods collection

Just a small thank you for booking with her.

If you’ve been meaning to schedule, this is a sweet time to do it.

Quiet glow starts here.

If you’ve been craving less—less noise, less pressure, less doing—this is your sign to come back to the foundation.

Cleansing isn’t just the first step.
It’s the moment you tell your skin (and your nervous system), we’re safe now.

Our Nickel City Cleansing Trio was created for exactly that.

✨Glow
Helichrysum + Sandalwood Cleansing Oil
Melts away the day and invites slow, intentional massage. Not rushed. Not corrective. Just present.

✨Calm
Aloe + Green Tea Cleansing Gel
Soothing, balancing, and supportive for sensitive or overstimulated skin. Think: exhale.

✨Polish
Pineapple + Papaya Enzyme Mask
A gentle enzymatic reset—no scrubbing, no stress. Smooth, bright, and kind to the barrier.

This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about choosing care you can sustain.

Quiet rituals.
Steady skin.
Glow that comes from respect, not force.

Available in-spa + online.

January can be… loud.

Everywhere you look, there’s pressure to reinvent yourself. New year, new rules. Fix this. Reverse that. Especially in skincare, the message is relentless: anti-aging, corrective, preventative... as if growing older is something we should be constantly fighting.

I don’t buy into that.

I don’t believe in fighting my face.
I believe in meeting myself where I am.

Aging isn’t a flaw. It’s proof of a life lived—of laughter, stress, love, loss, resilience. Skin tells the truth, and I think that deserves respect, not punishment.

Here’s what I do believe in: quiet change.

The kind that doesn’t demand an overhaul.
The kind that doesn’t come with guilt or timelines.
The kind that actually lasts.

For me, that shows up as skincare... not as correction, but as connection.

At the end of the day, when everything finally slows down, I choose to give something back to myself. Intentional cleansing. Warm hands. Slow application. A few minutes of massage, not to fix or lift, but simply to feel.

Calming products. Gentle rituals. Touch that tells the nervous system, you’re safe now.

That’s the foundation. And foundations are built slowly.

The idea of “anti-aging” has always felt backwards to me. Why are we at war with time, when time is what shaped us? Skin doesn’t need extremes—it needs consistency, nourishment, patience.

Small choices.
Sustainable care.
Rituals that feel like coming home instead of another thing to keep up with.

This year, I’m choosing quiet over chaos.
Presence over pressure.
Care over correction.

And if it feels right, I hope you’ll allow Nickel City—and our incredible team—to walk alongside you on your self-care journey. Whether it’s through a facial, a product ritual at home, or simply a moment of calm you carve out for yourself, we’re here to support you.

No reinvention. Just devotion.

Because real glow doesn’t come from force.
It comes from care.

As we’re saying goodbye to 2025, our feeds will be overflowing with New Year resolutions and to be the best version of ourselves. New routines, the “it” workout/diet/routine… etc. You get what I’m saying… but how about we flip the tone… and celebrate meeting ourselves where we’re at… New year. Same skin.
And honestly… that’s not a problem to solve.

At Nickel City, we’re heading into this year a little slower and a lot more intentional. Less urgency. More care. Skincare that feels steady and supportive instead of loud and pushy.

We’re not here to “fix” you.
We’re here to care for you.

No dramatic overhauls.
No skin shock.
No forcing your face to keep up with some January agenda.

Just thoughtful, practical rituals that build trust between you and your skin. The kind that let your nervous system unclench a little while you’re at it.

If your body has been quietly asking for calm, maybe this is the year you listen.

Same skin.
Better relationship with it.
