Skin Care & Facial Treatments
Here at Nature’s Spa we do facials a wee bit different! Focusing on “relaxation with benefits,” our skin care services incorporate an herbal facial oil massage at the very beginning to draw out toxins and dirt, stimulate circulation and lull you into a deep state of relaxation.
We take this approach to address one of the most pervasive culprits for skin issues: Stress.
Yes, our diet, sleep cycle, environment and above all, genetics, play a huge role in the look and feel of our skin, but stress affects all of the above in lasting and damaging ways. By incorporating relaxation techniques we target not just skin issues but the root of those issues. So lay back, relax and let us work our magic.
Here at Nature’s Spa, we have used our nearly two decades of spa wisdom to craft some of the most indulgent and transformative add on services in the industry, thereby improving the quality, value and extent of each session. Our service enhancements cater to the specific wants of each and every client, making it a truly customizable and “unique to you” experience.

Slow Beauty Facial
Here at Nature’s Spa, we have built a reputation around the idea of taking time for an experience over a quick treatment. Our Slow Beauty Facial embodies that mission.
**Read through as this is not your average facial.
We open this system regulating treatment by focusing on the stress points over the adrenal glands located on the back. We begin by cleansing the back, then, using therapeutic steam and ice towels, we neutralize and calm the adrenal glands. Warm herbal oils are then massaged into skin above the kidneys where they are absorbed by the body to self-balance. Gentle pressure points are stimulated to evoke a slow release of tension and holding patterns.
A change in position and your slow beauty facial begins.
Using farm to skin products we lavish your face and décolleté with a long and detailed massage, opening, softening and purging the pores and stimulating restorative blood and lymph flow. Slip into a deep state of relaxation under skilled hands and potent phytonutrients in their organic, whole plant form with transformative cleansing, exfoliation, mask, hydrating elixir, serum and balms.
Close the session with our herbal compress ritual and anointing inhalation. This facial experience is designed to nourish and feed the living skin while calming the gentle nervous system. The touch is soft and soothing but with great strength and intention.
This treatment pairs beautifully with our Revitalizing Scalp Massage and our Rejuvenating Foot Treatment for a head-to-toe experience.
Fire & Ice Facial
Designed to rapidly and safely resurface the skin without unwanted downtime, this professional treatment uses heat and cold interchangeably to achieve results that redefine the skin’s texture and improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Deep cleansing, powerful mechanical and acidic exfoliation and layers of hydration make this one “glowingly” hot facial for any camera-ready occasion. Longer sessions include an added boost of hydration and a soothing “facelift” massage.
Mighty Minute Facial: $85
Protect your investment with our Mighty Minute Facial. The illustrious glow of your professional facial will last for a few days, maybe even weeks, but the real return on your time and financial investment comes from your at home care and in between maintenance. Our 30-minute power facial is quick and to the point, focusing on a thorough cleanse, a fast acting and potent exfoliation and a deep hydration. Extractions are not included in this express facial, adding them will require additional time so please allow for that in your schedule.
Dermaplaning Facial
All hail the instant gratification facial!!
At its most basic level, dermaplaning “planes” away the outermost layer of dead skin as well as the vellus hair (peach fuzz) revealing fresh, new, smooth skin.
This non-surgical, non-chemical facial is perfect for those who cannot tolerate invasive chemicals but still want a rejuvenating treatment that produces noticeable changes.
Using a medical grade surgical blade, the therapist lightly feathers it at a safe angle over the skin’s surface; removing dead skin cells, debris and facial hair. This pain free, noninvasive and beautifully natural treatment will leave your skin feeling fresh and silky smooth.
*90-minute sessions are suggested for first time clients or those who require a deeper level of hydration and moisturization post treatment.
At its most advanced level our Dermaplaning Facial offers up a blank canvas of primed skin, perfect for a lavish cocktail of exfoliants, masks and serums. Let your dermaplaning facial be the first step in a more comprehensive rejuvenating treatment by adding one of our Peel and Peptide Enhancements listed below.
*Not for sensitive skin or those new to peels and exfoliation.
Facials
What Is a Facial?
A facial is a professional skin care treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, nourishes, and hydrates the skin, customized by an esthetician to what your skin actually needs that day. At a good day spa it is also something more than a service. It is an hour where nobody needs anything from you.
We do facials a wee bit differently here. Every facial at our South Charlotte spa opens with an herbal facial oil massage to draw out impurities, stimulate circulation, and settle you into a genuinely relaxing state before any active treatment begins. That order is deliberate, and it is the reason our guests describe our facials as the best facial they have had in Charlotte.
How a Facial Works
Your skin renews itself on a cycle, shedding dead cells and replacing them from below. In your twenties that cycle runs roughly every 28 days. By your forties and fifties it can stretch to twice that, which is why skin gradually looks duller and rougher over time even when nothing else has changed. A facial supports that renewal by clearing away what has built up on the surface and delivering active ingredients into skin that can finally absorb them.
The relaxation is not a bonus feature. It is part of the treatment. Research published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found that people under only moderate chronic stress showed measurably weakened skin barrier function, reduced antioxidant capacity, and an increase in fine lines and texture changes of roughly 33% compared to less stressed subjects. Elevated cortisol suppresses the fibroblasts responsible for producing collagen, and it slows the skin’s ability to repair itself.
In other words, stress is not just something that happens alongside your skin concerns. It is one of the causes. Treating the surface while ignoring the nervous system addresses half the problem, which is why we built our approach around treating both at once.
From there, your esthetician tailors everything: a double cleanse, the right exfoliation for your skin type, extractions where they are needed, a mask chosen for your concerns, and deeply hydrating serums and balms to finish. Our more advanced options layer in peels, enzymes, LED, microdermabrasion, or dermaplaning when your goals call for them.
The Benefits of a Facial
A regular facial does more for your skin than any single product can.
- Deep, thorough cleansing. Professional extraction and exfoliation clear congestion that home care simply cannot reach.
- Accelerated cellular renewal. Removing built-up dead cells encourages fresher skin to surface, restoring natural radiance and smoother texture.
- Support for collagen and firmness. Massage, targeted actives, and stress reduction all work in favor of the collagen your skin depends on for structure.
- Real, measurable relaxation. Lowering stress is one of the few skin interventions that improves your skin and the rest of your life at the same time.
- Better results from your home routine. Clear, balanced skin absorbs your products far more effectively.
- Expert guidance. Your esthetician can tell you what your skin is actually doing and what will help, which saves money on products that were never going to work.
Whether you are looking for pure luxury and escape or serious corrective results, we will build the treatment around you. Come rejuvenate with us and let your skin reset. Request an appointment whenever you are ready.
FAQ
How often should I get a facial?
Every four to six weeks suits most people, which follows your skin’s natural renewal cycle. If you are treating something specific like active acne or pigmentation, we may start closer together and space visits out as your skin improves. If a facial is mainly your time to unwind, come as often as it serves you. There is no wrong answer.
Which facial is right for me?
If this is your first visit, Nature’s Ultimate Facial is the easiest place to start. It is fully customizable, works for every skin type, and gives your esthetician a chance to get to know your skin. From there we can point you toward a Specialty or Power Facial for more targeted concerns. You are never expected to know what to book. Tell us what is bothering you and we will take it from there.
What should I expect at my first facial?
We start with a short conversation about your skin, your routine, and anything you would like to address. Then you settle in, and the treatment begins with our herbal oil massage before moving through cleansing, exfoliation, extractions if needed, a mask, and hydration. You are welcome to talk or to say nothing at all. Many of our guests fall asleep, and we take that as a compliment.
Do I need to prepare for my appointment?
Very little. Come with a clean face if convenient, though we will cleanse thoroughly anyway. Skip retinoids and strong exfoliants for about three days beforehand, and let us know about any recent waxing, sun exposure, or new medications. If you have a big event coming up, book at least a week ahead rather than the day before.
Will a facial break me out?
Occasionally, and it is usually temporary. When extractions clear congestion that was already forming beneath the surface, some of it can surface briefly in the following days. This settles quickly and is a sign the treatment reached what it needed to. Tell your esthetician if you are prone to this and we will adjust the approach.
Are your products natural?
We work primarily with Eminence Organic Skin Care, a natural line built on organic fruit, vegetable, and herbal ingredients. Natural does not mean gentle to the point of ineffective. These are potent, active formulations. It simply means we are not relying on harsh synthetics to get results.
Can I get a facial if I have sensitive skin?
Yes. Sensitive and reactive skin often benefits most from professional care, because the instinct at home is usually to either overtreat or give up entirely. Your esthetician will select calming products and skip anything abrasive. Tell us about your triggers and past reactions and we will work well within your comfort zone.
Where are you located?
We are at 6311 Carmel Road in South Charlotte, welcoming guests from across Charlotte, NC and the surrounding communities. We are appointment only by design, so your visit is unhurried and the space is genuinely yours.
