Rejuvenating, hydrating, and brightening are terms more commonly used in regard to facials. However, spend 80 minutes in the expert hands of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.laurelskin.com\/studio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Laurel Whole Plant Organics<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s in-house holistic esthetician, <strong>Megan Nino<\/strong>, and you\u2019ll quickly realize that life changing is an adjective that can be used to illustrate this facial. The signature Laurel facial (which is offered on Wednesday mornings, Thursdays, and Fridays) is a nurturing, completely customized procedure that involves cleansing cremes, a sweetly scented honey-berry mask, and soothing massage. Nino\u2019s calming voice and healing hands are hypnotic and you\u2019ll quickly find yourself in a dreamlike state. You\u2019ll walk out of the treatment room feeling incredibly relaxed with skin that positively glows.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_618089\" aria-describedby=\"figcaption_attachment_618089\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/hauteliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/laurelshaffer.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-618089\" src=\"https:\/\/hauteliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/laurelshaffer.jpg\" alt=\"Laurel Shaffer harvests ingredients\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_618089\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Laurel Shaffer harvests ingredients<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"rtp-photo-credit\">Photo Credit: Trinette Reed &amp; Chris Gramly <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Located above a diner and deli just off the 101 freeway, Laurel Whole Plant Organics is a skincare studio and shop that opened a little over a year ago in Sausalito. <strong>Laurel Shaffer<\/strong> is the owner and formulator of the 24-product skincare line that is made with 100% natural organic ingredients. It\u2019s farm-to-face beauty at its best. Shaffer works with local farms to handpick the rose, jasmine, camomile, and other elements that are used to make the food-like cleansers, serums, balms, and oils. An herbalist and plant communicator with a sommelier background, Shaffer has an exceptionally keen sense of smell and an uncanny ability to understand a plant\u2019s unique makeup. The resulting flower-and-herb based skincare line is created with \u201cunparalleled purity, integrity and efficacy,\u201d Shaffer says. \u201cWe\u2019re a company that is firmly rooted in ritual and love. Our products are always made with you in mind and with the highest intention.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_618088\" aria-describedby=\"figcaption_attachment_618088\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/hauteliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Copy-of-Copy-of-LaurelWPO_IMG_4138.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-618088\" src=\"https:\/\/hauteliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Copy-of-Copy-of-LaurelWPO_IMG_4138.jpg\" alt=\"The skincare studio and shop in Sausalito\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_618088\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The skincare studio and shop in Sausalito<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\">Shaffer is a pioneer of slow beauty, which is similar to the slow food movement that many of the Bay Area\u2019s most prolific chefs champion. Slow beauty focuses on taking the time to nourish the skin, body, and soul. 70% of what is put on the skin is consumed by the body, so why use moisturizers and scrubs that are filled with synthetics, toxins, and chemicals? If people are changing the way they eat, why not change the way they think about beauty too? These are the sort of questions that Nino highlights before beginning her transcendent facial. Life changing indeed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laurel Whole Plant Organics in Sausalito is a skincare haven, crafting pure, organic, plant-based beauty products.
