About Elizabeth Bentley, Aesthetician Specialist
Elizabeth Bentley is an Austin, Texas based holistic esthetician with over a decade of experience. After years of suffering with cystic acne, dermatitis, and recurring hives, she was driven with a strong desire to heal her own skin. In 2007, she decided to pursue a career path that would allow her to share her journey and findings with others. As she began to understand the many facets of skin care, she gained insight that in order to truly heal, you must approach the skin as an organ that is connected to the inner workings and functions of the rest of the body. Approaching the skin as a reflection of what is going on inside the body led her to obtain her health coach certification from Institute of Integrative Nutrition (IIN) in 2013. As a health coach, Elizabeth has a strong desire to treat her clients with a holistic approach by investigating what may be at the root of their various skin imbalances. Committed to improving her client's skin, Elizabeth is passionate about overall wellness and therapeutic facial protocols. Her practice aims to balance the skin naturally and to restore and support the skin's microbiome and it's protective barrier. Her methodology and product choices can achieve and maintain the desired effects of invasive dermatological procedures, such as wrinkle fillers, microneedling, and harsh chemical peels, but without the pain, possible skin damage, and fleeting results. Neu Skin facials are gentle and the results are long-lasting. Elizabeth's facials are as healing as they are relaxing. Her approach involves carefully assessing each client’s skin care needs and then individualizing each facial based on that assessment. Aware that skin conditions fluctuate with hormones, seasonal weather changes, medications, cosmetic procedures, internal health factors (such as gut, liver, & thyroid health), and lifestyle, Elizabeth works with each client to determine the underlying cause or potential causes of their skin imbalances, engaging in an in-depth discussion about the client’s insecurities and concerns, before providing a soothing, effective and pain-free solution. Elizabeth has continued her education with certifications in the Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage technique as well as Gua Sha Facial Fusion (TCM) and Thai Herbal Poultice Facial Massage (TTM). These gentle modalities provide incredibly healing results to the skin, nervous system, and an overall boost to the immune system. They are recommended for almost any skin type.
