Veteran Esthetician Leah Simon-Clarke Spills Her Skin Care Secrets

As a veteran esthetician, Leah Simon-Clarke has dedicated her life to the practice of wellness through the vast world of skin care and all that it encompasses. Before her career started in her early 20s, she was an avid lover of all things skin and beauty. It was then natural for her to make the art of skin care her life’s work. It starts with prioritizing self and nurturing our body through a dedication to self care and wellness. This is why she commits to a standard of excellence with daily rituals, using the highest quality products and teaches both clients and professionals how to do the same. She believes wholeheartedly that by taking the time to care for our skin and bodies, we also ease the mind and help regulate the central nervous system.
