<p>Skincare is self-care. Though many aspects of it still qualify as cosmetic or for purposes of vanity, one cannot deny how much taking good care of our skin contributes to our overall wellness, resulting in a healthy glow from within. This, among others, is what the founders of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sacredskinph/" target="_blank">Sacred Skin</a> want to bring to the Filipino market, providing their clientele with a beauty and wellness sanctuary to help them relax amidst life’s hustle.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/9d26050f-4cf3-4085-95ec-8f34b1cb96e1_sacred skin1.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Sacred Skin Clinic in The Corner House San Juan</span></span></span></div><p>The idea for the clinic came up during a random hangout session between head dematologist <strong>Dr. Erika Ty</strong> and beauty enthusiast and retail expert <strong>Jeri Lim</strong>. Wanting to depart from the fast-paced clinical settings she had grown used to, Dr. Erika shared her vision of opening a space that provides tranquil atmosphere that enhances the clients’ experience in such a way that they feel good on the inside while getting their treatments done. Things quickly fell into place; fate was definitely on their side when they found an available space for lease at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thecornerhouseph/" target="_blank">The Corner House</a> in San Juan that same night. This quickly propelled their plans forward. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/636cc3b5-5d29-4e5e-a648-bf54dcb5887a_sacred skin2.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/beauty/body/what-is-eyebrowdery/37247" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Here&#x27;s Everything You Need to Know about Eyebrowdery</a></div><p>Together with Dr. Erika and Jeri, brand expert <strong>Nina Tan</strong> and marketing lead <strong>Kat Lim</strong> are the driving forces of this new beauty space, which opened its doors in December of 2023. “We’re not aiming to single out a particular service,” shares Kat. “It’s the dedication we put into every aspect of our treatments that we want our clients to acknowledge. From ensuring that your face gets a thorough cleaning—no shortcuts—to throwing in that extra 10-minute facial massage, we want our clients to recognize us for delivering a complete, relaxing experience. It’s the little details that set us apart, and we take pride in delivering an overall elevated experience that reflects our commitment to people’s well-being.”</p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div

(@sacredskinph)</a></div></div></blockquote> </div><div><br/></div><p>The moment you enter through their glass doors, you’re greeted by a gold engraving on the floor that says:<strong> “Your path to great skin starts here.”</strong> Sacred Skin’s friendly receptionist will check you in, offer you some refreshments, and then escort you to Dr. Erika’s office, where she can help you decide which treatment is best for your skin. After sitting down with her for a bit, she recommended that I try the <strong>Sacred Skin Retreat</strong>, an elevated 90-minute skincare experience that is described as their ultimate indulgence. It is literally everything one could ever think of to get a firm, glowing complexion with instant results, and a relaxing scalp to shoulder massage as an added bonus. The treatment couldn’t have come at a better time; I hardly got a wink of sleep the night before, and I had an event to attend in two days. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/23cebc35-695e-4c27-9753-6a75deceffa7_sacred skin 3.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><p>Because there is so much that goes into the Sacred Skin Retreat, it takes quite awhile for the attendant to explain each step. To break it down, the first 60 minutes are for a hydrafacial and a jet peel, and the final 30 is a radio frequency (RF) treatment to tighten skin, all done using top of the line machines. I was quick to fall asleep early on in the session, lulled by the comfortable interiors and the background music. A quick note: Results from the RF treatment are instant, with no downtime save for some redness in the area. They take a before and after photo for you, so you see the difference at once. It’s great for when you have an upcoming event, and the effects from the treatment last for about a month. Of course, it’s you duty to follow any post-treatment guidelines, go for follow-up sessions, and make healthy lifestyle choices to maintain any and all positive results. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/fd484227-5c18-4f11-9b2a-8ff257fb31a5_sacred skin 4.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/beauty/body/hydra-skin-clinic-and-spa-bgc/37345" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">This Wellness Clinic Is Where Spa Dates and Laser Appointments Meet</a></div><p>Sacred Skin wants its customers to feel cared for and to feel welcome, especially in a situation where it’s not uncommon to be overwhelmed and intimidated, or to be put under a certain kind of pressure. “As customers, we’ve been there,” Kat says. “We want everyone to feel like they deserve this kind of experience. Your first visit should leave you not only satisfied with our services, but also eager to come back for more. While there are plenty of exceptional clinics out there, what sets Sacred Skin apart is our dedication to prioritizing one’s overall well-being. We take pride in carefully curating treatments that not only bring out a client’s best externally, but also contribute to a holistic sense of satisfaction and contentment. It’s this unique touch that sets us apart and reflects our commitment to providing an experience that goes beyond the ordinary in the world of beauty clinics.”</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/8cec1942-b57a-4ae4-ae4b-c70e5642c4d8_whatsapp image 2024-01-29 at 10.05.15.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><p>In closing, here are some skincare tips from the Sacred Skin team: </p><ul><li>Pores don&#x27;t have muscles, so they can&#x27;t open or close. The appearance can be minimized with proper skincare but not physically altered.</li><li>All skin types benefit from hydration. Using a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer is important for oily skin.</li><li>Change pillowcases regularly. Dirty pillowcases can harbor bacteria and oils, contributing to skin issues. Change them regularly to maintain a clean sleeping environment.</li><li>Extend your skincare routine to your neck and hands. These areas show signs of aging, too.</li><li>Results take time. It may take weeks or even months to see the full effects of skincare products, so be patient.</li></ul><div><br/></div>Sacred Skin is located at 2/F The Corner House, 445 P.
