Your Trusted Phoenix
Skincare Specialist
In 2016 I was years into my career as an esthetician. Along the way, I learned that the skincare world is misunderstood and without a specialist who the community could *truly* trust to provide personalized services and professional skincare, it would continue to be misunderstood. Armed with knowledge and a passion for serving my community, I opened Gameela Skin and haven’t looked back since!
At Gameela Skin, my goal is to help clients understand their skin and make educated decisions on what services and products will be best for them. I offer a wide range of skincare services and products for men AND women in Phoenix, I am able to provide professional guidance for what will work best for your skin type, but I also want you to be able to make sense of all of the services we offer to decide how to invest in your skincare and self care. Above all, I love to make my clients feel incredible and ready to take on the world.
Our Phoenix Skincare Services
I have been serving the men and women of Arizona for more than 15 years, offering skin and beauty services that can be personalized to suit your needs. Gameela Skin’s services include:
Custom Facials
At Gameela Skin, I offer customized facial treatments for men and women in Phoenix to give you cleaner, healthier, and more radiant looking skin. A custom facial will be designed for your skin type and will include products that are 100% customized to your skin concerns. Custom facials can include cleansing, extractions, exfoliation, and more, depending on what your goal is. Every facial will help infuse the skin with nourishing ingredients, helping to strengthen and restore your skin’s natural barrier and leave you feeling refreshed. Not to mention, a custom facial is an hour long treatment dedicated just to YOU, which is the perfect act of self care. Facials are SO important living in Arizona, where the dry climate can leave skin feeling dull and tight.
Dermaplaning
One of my favorite offerings at Gameela Skin is dermaplaning, a safe and extremely effective physical exfoliation process. A sterile surgical scalpel will be used to remove the top-most layer of dead skin, along with any fine hair or peach fuzz. This allows the skin to look revitalized and refreshed and helps your skin absorb other skincare products and see increased effects. Pair dermaplaning with a facial or another treatment to see some supercharged results!
Waxing
Effective, long-lasting, and as painless as possible, I use the highest quality of wax to ensure the best results with little to no irritation. Say goodbye to razor bumps and quick regrowth and say hello, to smoother skin with my wax treatments that are designed to make you feel comfortable from the moment you step into the salon.
Brow Lamination
In addition to shaping your brows with a wax treatment, I also offer brown lamination, which is the best kept secret for full and glossy brows. Instead of the typical “curl” you may think of when getting a perm, the brow lamination process involves a lamination that will relax the brows hair, allowing you to style the brows with a “brushed up” and lifted look. If you follow proper aftercare instructions, brow lamination will last about six weeks. I do recommend applying a brow soap to assist in shaping your brows each morning.
Last Lifts
If you hate the hassle of applying lash extensions or layering on mascara every morning, look no further than a lash lift. At Gameela Skin, I offer the best lash lift in Phoenix. The top of the line Elleebana lash lift will help add a natural and luscious curl to your lashes from the base to the tip, so you can see the full length. We also offer lash tinting to accompany the lift, to enhance the color and look of your newly luscious lashes.
Phoenix Skincare Tips
As an Arizona girl, I understand that there are a number of skincare concerns that come up in the Phoenix desert. Living in a dry, hot climate that has very little cloud cover necessitates more SPF and moisturizer than *most* places, leading me to my two biggest tips: protect your skin from the sun AND stay hydrated.
Hyaluronic Acid
Drinking water and using moisturizer will help your skin stay hydrated, but if you find the desert is still drying you out, it may be time to bring in one of my favorite skincare ingredients: hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is present in every tissue of the body, and one of its most important biological functions is water retention. A serum, like this Pure Hydration serum, will allow this superpower ingredient to provide skin with much needed hydration, while helping trap moisture in skin tissue, keeping you hydrated long after the serum is applied.
SPF
SPF application is essential everywhere, but especially here {where my AZ gals at?!}. Phoenix gets around 300 sunny days throughout the year, which means most days when you go outside, even for a small amount of time, you’ll be encountering harmful UV rays that can cause damage to your skin.
Add an SPF to your routine every morning to ensure you’re protected. I will *always* love the Rhonda Allison Daytime Defense SPF. It goes on like a gentle moisturizer, so it won’t irritate your skin OR leave you feeling greasy.
If you’ve been neglecting your SPF, chances are your skin could use a little TLC. Adding in skincare ingredients to boost collagen production will help increase cell turnover and reduce visible signs of sun damage {or aging}. This C-Peptide Complex delivers potent collagen support with noticeable results, while also increasing antioxidants that will leave you looking and feeling refreshed.
