Your Skin Care Journey at Skin Care by Shawna in Dawson Creek

When it comes to skin care, knowing where to start matters just as much as knowing what to use or which facial to book.

At Skin Care by Shawna in Dawson Creek, care is guided by how your skin is functioning, not by trends or one-size-fits-all treatments.

Your journey is designed to be thoughtful, supportive, and adaptable, because skin is always changing.

Where Your Journey Begins: Advanced Skin Analysis

Every skin care journey begins with Advanced Skin Analysis.

This step allows us to:

• Observe how your skin is functioning beneath the surface

• Identify patterns related to barrier health, congestion, dehydration, or imbalance

• Understand what your skin needs right now

Rather than guessing or jumping straight into corrective treatments, analysis provides clarity. It helps determine how much support your skin can handle and which direction care should take first.

For many clients, this is the most valuable starting point.

Choosing a Facial Category: What Does Your Skin Need?

Once your skin has been assessed, treatments are guided by one of four facial categories.
Each category reflects the focus of care, not the intensity.

Barrier Repair Facials

Barrier Repair Facials support the skin’s protective function and overall resilience.

These facials are often recommended when skin is:

• Dry, sensitive, reactive, or inflamed

• Compromised from overuse of active products

• Recovering from stress, illness, or environmental exposure

Barrier support is foundational. Many clients begin here before moving into other categories.

Clarifying Facials

Clarifying Facials focus on congestion management and skin balance.

This category may be appropriate when skin experiences:

• Breakouts or congestion

• Excess oil or uneven texture

• Bacterial imbalance

Clarifying facials at Skin Care by Shawna focus on gently softening and clearing congestion so the skin can release it comfortably, without harsh extractions or irritation.

Brightening & Renewal Facials

Brightening & Renewal Facials support cell turnover and skin clarity.

This category is often chosen when concerns include:

• Dullness or pigmentation concerns

• Post-inflammatory marks

• Early signs of aging

Care is tailored to the skin’s tolerance, using gentle exfoliation and supportive treatments that encourage brightness and renewal while protecting barrier health.

Firm & Glow Facials

Firm & Glow Facials focus on skin vitality, firmness, and overall radiance.

This category may support:

• Loss of firmness or elasticity

• Dehydrated or tired-looking skin

• Clients looking to maintain healthy aging over time

The goal is to support firmness and radiance through treatments that work with the skin, rather than pushing it with aggressive or harsh techniques.

Understanding the Facial Tiers: Restore, Revive, Rejuvenate

Within each category, facials are offered in three tiers: Restore, Revive, and Rejuvenate.

These tiers reflect time, depth, and level of support—not “basic” versus “better.”

• Restore provides gentle, foundational care

• Revive allows for more targeted treatment and added support

• Rejuvenate offers the most comprehensive and fully customized experience

The tiers are designed to give you flexibility, allowing you to choose the level of care that best fits your skin’s needs, your schedule, and your budget at each visit.

A Flexible, Supportive Approach

Your skin care journey isn’t linear.
You may begin with Barrier Repair, move into Clarifying or Brightening, and return to Barrier support when needed.

Treatments are adjusted based on:

• Skin response

• Lifestyle changes

• Seasonal shifts

• Long-term skin health goals

The focus is always on supporting the skin, not pushing it.

Not Sure Where to Start?

If you’re unsure where to begin, Advanced Skin Analysis is the best place to start.
From there, guidance is available to help you determine the most suitable category and tier for your skin.

This approach to barrier-focused facials in Dawson Creek allows care to be adjusted thoughtfully over time, with guidance always available to help you choose a starting point that feels informed, intentional, and respectful of your skin’s current state.
