Out with the old and in with the new. Exfoliating removes dead skin cells to reveal renewed skin and allows your moisturizers and skincare products to do their job. The catch? Exfoliation strategies differ when it comes to the skin on your face and the skin on your body. Today, two experts are sharing their insight on the topic of exfoliation.
Welcome back to our day-to-night skincare routine series featuring our expert milk + honey estheticians. Today, we turn to Hill Country Galleria esthetician, Juliana, for a sneak peek into what skincare products she’s currently using. From CosMedix Purity Balance to the new Shineless Moisturizer, get ready to be inspired (and then follow suit!).
Before and after her days in the spa, 2nd Street District esthetician, Jessica, takes care to practice what she preaches. As in — she takes her morning and evening skincare routines very seriously. We asked Jessica to share her Holy Grail products and processes with us in the hopes that you, too, will be inspired to kick up your skincare game a notch or two.
We’re excited to announce, that we now offer a new facial service: Perk™Eye and Lip Treatments. These new express services will visibly plump, hydrate, and brighten your eye or lip area in 15-minutes with little to no irritation or downtime. You can schedule the Perk™ Treatment in addition to any HydraFaical or by itself.
Skincare is a multi-faceted topic. Depending on your skin type, dietary habits, sleeping habits, environment, activity level, as well as a slew of other lifestyle factors, the approach to personal skincare is varied and subjective. To help navigate your skincare concerns, we asked milk + honey esthetician, Diane K. (based at our South Lamar location), to answer six frequently-asked skincare questions. Have another to ask? Don’t be shy! Leave it in the comments and we’ll respond ASAP.
From OSEA cleansers to masks, we love everything about this organic, clean skincare line. We launched OSEA exclusively at our 2nd Street District location, but now, it’s available at our Hill Country Galleria, South Lamar, and River Oaks locations! To celebrate, take part in this month’s promotion:
If you haven’t experienced a HydraFacial yet, what are you waiting for? It’s nothing short of amazing. And if you’ve ever heard one of your friends singing its praises, I promise you — that friend is not exaggerating. In fact, I’m about to join in the chorus and share a few nuggets, including a before-and-after shot, from my most recent HydraFacial treatment.
My skin type: Combination Dry
Current state of skin: Dry and red irritation; oily patches (mostly cheek area), clogged pores, and a hormonal breakout around the jawline. Oof. General dullness. I’ve been traveling more than usual and the stress — and indulgence — of the holidays certainly caught up to my skin. Between major climate changes (cold, frigid Boston air vs. Austin’s warmer temps) and over 30 hours of flight time (Austin > Japan > Shanghai > Austin > Boston > Austin) logged, let’s just say my skin wasn’t looking its best.
Goals for HydraFacial: I know not everything can be “cured” in one session, but I wanted to leave with clear pores and lots of hydration. My skin was screaming for it.
Results Post-HydraFacial: Glowy-ness! My skin feels rejuvenated and undeniably clean. It’s the most hydrated version of itself right now and I couldn’t be more pleased. The jawline breakouts, while still visible to me, have been stopped in their tracks. Finally, the sallow tone of my skin is gone. Success!

Acne, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and discoloration have met their match with our CosMedix corrective peels. Peels work by gently removing the top damaged or dry layer of the epidermis to reveal smooth, youthful renewed skin. At milk + honey, we offer two types of peels: Same-Day and Advanced Peels. While both options reveal beautiful results, our Advanced Peels require two weeks of skin prep, given the potent combination of rejuvenating acids and enzymes utilized.
To get you ready for our Spring Peel Party — 50% off all peels, all day long! — here’s the 411 on every peel we offer. Find out which peel does what and how they can help you achieve your specific skincare goals.
