About

Glisten Skin at 4750 70th Street in La Mesa is a solo-esthetician practice built around an integrative approach to facial treatments, using all-natural product lines and detailed skin evaluations to address acne, uneven pigmentation, and post-treatment recovery. Each appointment begins with a comprehensive barrier-function and hydration assessment that identifies underlying causes of congestion and discoloration before any product touches the skin, a diagnostic-first model that shares an event-preparation mindset with the garment care at Tam's Alteration & Dry Cleaning where fabric analysis precedes every press and alteration. Acne facials layer salicylic acid cleansers with clay-based extraction masks to draw impacted sebum from clogged pores without aggressive mechanical squeezing that risks scarring on inflamed skin. Pigmentation-correcting protocols use vitamin C serums and niacinamide concentrates to inhibit melanin transfer, fading sun damage and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation over a structured multi-session timeline. Oncology-adapted facial protocols adjust pressure, temperature, and active-ingredient concentration for clients undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment, a specialized esthetics discipline that aligns with the guided recovery programs at F45 Training La Mesa for clients rebuilding strength post-treatment. All-natural product formulations avoid synthetic fragrances, parabens, and sulfates, relying instead on plant-derived actives and cold-pressed carrier oils to nourish compromised skin barriers.
