Skin Shaman · Charleston SC
Ritual
Facials
Grounding, restorative facial care focused on skin regulation, barrier support, and long-term skin resilience.
The Approach
Skin health unfolds in cycles. Care that works with these rhythms — rather than forcing change — supports resilience, barrier integrity, and visible quality over time.
The Treatments
Not sure which facial to choose? Begin with Ritual 60. Your practitioner will assess your skin and select the most appropriate modality for you.
As part of Charleston’s exclusive DNA Skin Institute practice, your practitioner may integrate professional-only DNA Skin cleansers, masques, serums, boosters and finishing products according to the skin’s needs that day.
Complete Your Ritual
Add a customized Brow Design to any Ritual facial for $20 — a $30 standalone service, with no additional appointment time. Select “Add Brow Design” during booking.

Ritual 45
45 minA focused, completely hands-led facial for skin that needs a quick reset, glow, and professional support. Includes cleansing, skin analysis, extractions when appropriate, exfoliation, facial massage, and finishing products selected for the skin. No mask phase or device-based modality.
Reset, clarify and restore.
Booking options: choose With Professional Enzyme for the standard ritual, With Targeted Peel Upgrade to add targeted peel work for $40, or With Dermaplane Add-On to pair the ritual with dermaplaning for $40 and 15 additional minutes. Dermaplaning refines surface buildup and vellus hair for a smoother, more luminous finish. Your practitioner confirms the appropriate pathway in the room.
The most hands-led treatment in the Skin Shaman menu. Practitioner skill and touch are the primary tools throughout. The foundation of consistent skin care over time.
Best for: maintenance, congestion, and a focused skin reset.

Alchemy Ritual
90 minThe most immersive treatment in the Skin Shaman menu. Begins face-down with a back and body sequence — lymphatic brushing, herbal grain exfoliation, heated compress work, and occipital and scalp work — before transitioning into a complete facial protocol.
Deep restoration for skin, body and nervous system.
Best for: deep restoration, stress relief, and a complete sensory experience.
A practitioner-selected metabolic peel is included within the complete facial protocol. A full-body ceremonial experience designed to work with the body's systems, not just the surface of the skin.
Booking options: choose the standard Alchemy Ritual with its included metabolic peel, or add Dermaplane for $40 and 15 additional minutes. The Dermaplane option is layered into the ritual alongside the included peel.

The Ritual Environment
Each treatment is held within a deliberate sensory environment. A softly paced automated rainstick accompanies the opening fifteen minutes of the Ritual, while a Koshi chime marks transitions between active treatment and stillness.
Weighted compresses, warm towel sequences, and intentional pacing help create the conditions for the body and mind to settle. A sound table may also be incorporated for gentle low-frequency vibration, including a setting inspired by the 7.83 Hz Schumann resonance.
These sound and sensory elements are used to encourage stillness, comfort, and a deeper sense of rest. They are not separate from the skin work. They are part of the Ritual experience.
