Skin Studio, Denver

Valeriya Pauley is the heart and soul of Skin Studio. After obtaining her aesthetician's license in 2005, Valeriya trained as a natural-foods chef, gaining a deep understanding of holistic and naturopathic principles. This rich knowledge base allows her to create personalized treatments to address each client's particular needs.

Valeriya begins each custom facial with an in-depth skin analysis, then combines steam and ultrasonic technology to cleanse and exfoliate the damaged outer layer of skin. After a thorough extraction, Valeriya applies a custom-blended mask that leaves skin looking and feeling clean and smooth. When not using her own hand-made products, Valeriya relies on the Rhonda Allison skincare line, which eschews artificial coloring and fragrances, instead leveraging the power of essential oils and plant extracts.
