July Newsletter: Redefining Independence

(From Your Makeup Bag!)

Hello, sunshine! ☀️

Can we just take a second to celebrate the absolute magic of a Michigan summer? Between the lazy lake days in Pinckney and the long, golden evenings on the porch, there is so much to love about July. But let’s be real for a second: who wants to spend half their morning blending foundation and curling lashes when the water is calling? 🌊

This month, we are celebrating Independence Day in a whole new way: by declaring independence from your makeup bag! We believe that true confidence comes from skin that is so healthy, vibrant, and luminous that you don’t feel the need to hide it. Whether you’re hiking the local trails or heading to a backyard BBQ, we want you to feel absolutely unstoppable in your own skin.

Ready to simplify your routine and amplify your glow? Let’s dive into what’s happening at Element 36 Spa this month! ✨🧴

1. The Secrets to Your "No-Makeup" Glow

If you’ve been looking for non invasive skin rejuvenation that actually delivers, look no further. We’ve curated two specific treatments designed to give you that "woke up like this" look without the effort.

The Glassy Glow (Nano-Infusion Facial)

Our nano infusion facial is essentially magic in a bottle (and a pen!). Using a specialized device, we create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin’s surface. This allows our medical-grade serums to penetrate up to 97% better than standard application. 🧪

The Vibe: It’s a needle-free, virtually painless "infusion" of high-potency actives.
The Result: Instant hydration, refined pores, and a dewy "glass skin" finish that lasts.
Why You Need It: It’s the perfect way to prep your skin for a makeup-free summer while stimulating collagen production at a cellular level.

Precision Lash Lift & Tint

Stop fighting with your lash curler! If you’re searching for a lash lift and tint near me, you’ve found your sanctuary. This treatment gives your natural lashes a beautiful upward curl and a deep, dark tint that makes your eyes pop instantly. It’s like wearing mascara that never smudges, even after a dip in the lake! 🏊‍♀️

2. Meet Our Newest Obsession: Sea-el Skincare 🌊

We are beyond excited to introduce Sea-el Skincare to the Element 36 family! We are always on the hunt for products that marry clinical results with clean ingredients, and Sea-el is a total home run.

Sea-el is an ocean-infused line built on the power of kelp and fermented sea botanicals. Why kelp? It’s packed with minerals and antioxidants that soothe the stratum corneum and provide deep, bio-available nutrition to your skin cells. 🌿

Must-Know Highlights:

Yuka-Rated "Excellent": Every product is vetted for safety and quality, ensuring your skin barrier is always protected.
Ocean Glow Set: Their signature duo is a game-changer for maintaining that summer radiance at home.
Clean & Sustainable: They partner with SeaTrees to restore ocean health, so you can feel good about your glow!

3. Meet Our Newest Carry: All Good SPF 30 Mineral Facial Sunscreen 🌿

We are so excited to introduce a new brand to the Element 36 family — All Good. This is a clean, reef-friendly, mineral-based sunscreen line that fits perfectly into our philosophy of protecting your skin with high-integrity ingredients.

The star of the show? Their SPF 30 Mineral Facial Sunscreen. It uses 18.1% non-nano zinc oxide for broad-spectrum protection, so you get serious UVA/UVB defense without the chemical junk. But here's the best part — it's formulated with plant-based hyaluronic acid, organic green tea, and anti-inflammatory argan oil. Translation? It hydrates, calms, and protects without that chalky, ghost-face finish we all hate. 🙌

Why we love it at Element 36:

Reef-friendly & biodegradable — because we love our lakes (and the ocean too!)
Leaping Bunny certified — cruelty-free, always.
Sweat & water resistant for 80 minutes — perfect for a day on the boat in Pinckney.
Non-greasy, non-chalky — glides on like a moisturizer and wears beautifully under makeup or on its own.

Whether you're paddleboarding, dock-sitting, or just running errands, this is the SPF you'll actually want to wear every single day. And you know we never carry anything we wouldn't use ourselves. Pop into the spa to grab yours before your next lake day! ☀️🌊

4. Jenn’s July Amazon Finds 🛍️

I’ve been doing a little "field research" lately, and these three finds are the ones I keep reaching for again and again! They fit so perfectly into summer life around here — a little wellness, a little sun protection, and a little confidence boost before Amber’s wedding on August 9th. 💖

Inside-Out Support: DRFOSTER Collagen Peptides Powder Packets

You know I’m always talking about how what we do at the spa works best when you support your skin from every angle. That’s why I love DRFOSTER Collagen Peptides Powder Packets as an easy little wellness add-on for summer.

They’re simple, convenient, and so easy to toss into your routine when life gets busy. Just mix a packet into your coffee, smoothie, or water and you’ve got a no-fuss way to support your skin, hair, nails, and overall glow from the inside out. ✨

What I really love is how beautifully this kind of ritual pairs with your in-spa treatments. If you’re investing in collagen-stimulating facials, corrective skincare, and barrier repair, it just makes sense to give your body extra building blocks to support those results at home too.

My Lake-Day Must-Have: Daci 3-Piece Rash Guard Set (UPF 50+)

Okay, if you spend any time on the lake in the summer, this one is such a smart find. The Daci 3-Piece Rash Guard Set (UPF 50+) is one of those practical purchases that ends up making your whole summer easier. It comes with a long-sleeve zip-up top, sports bra, and shorts, so you feel covered, comfortable, and cute without overthinking it. ☀️🌊

I love this because sun protection is not just a beach-day issue — it is a skin health issue. We work way too hard on protecting your collagen, reducing hyperpigmentation, and keeping inflammation down to let UV exposure undo all that progress. This is such an easy way to help shield your skin while you’re out on the boat, chasing kids around, paddleboarding, or just soaking up a beautiful Michigan afternoon.

My Confidence Secret: d'Alba Allthera Double Shot Beauty Massager

This one is still so special to me. 💖 If I’m being honest, I’ve always been a little insecure about my arms. And with Amber’s wedding coming up on August 9th — and me being a bridesmaid — I really wanted to feel confident and comfortable in my dress.

I’ve been using the d'Alba Allthera Double Shot Beauty Massager every single day, and I’m genuinely so glad I found it. It feels like such a realistic at-home ritual because it’s quick, easy, and gives me that little moment of consistency I need when life is busy.

I use it with my serums and moisturizers, and I love how it helps everything feel more intentional — like I’m actually taking a couple of minutes to care for myself instead of just rushing through the day. And for my arms especially, it’s given me such a nice little confidence boost already, which honestly means so much this close to the big day. ✨

From a professional standpoint, I also love anything that helps support home care between visits. It’s a lovely complement to the consistency we’re always aiming for with firming, smoothing, and skin-loving routines at Element 36 Spa.

June Newsletter

Welcome to June, Pinckney! Can you feel it? The air is getting warmer, the boat engines are starting to roar on the lake, and the Livingston County summer energy is officially in full swing! Whether you’re prepping for graduation parties, local festivals, or just long afternoons on the water, we are here to make sure your skin is as vibrant as the season.

This month’s newsletter is packed with everything you need to stay glowing, but we also have a little bit of sad news to share with our community. Grab a glass of lemon water (or a cold brew!), settle in, and let’s catch up on all things Element 36 Spa. A Bittersweet Goodbye to Veg Out Organics

We wanted to share some news regarding one of our beloved brands. Due to new, stricter FDA regulations and the complexities of the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA), Veg Out Organics has made the difficult decision to go out of business. We know so many of you absolutely adore their clean, botanical formulations, and we are sad to see them go! But don't panic just yet, we still have a limited supply of their essentials in stock.

What’s next? We will continue to carry their products until our current inventory is gone. If you have a "holy grail" Veg Out item you can't live without, now is the time to stop by and stock up! While it's hard to say goodbye, change often brings exciting new opportunities. We are already in the works with a few incredible new USA-based brands that align with our medical-grade, results-driven philosophy. We are carefully vetting every ingredient and protocol to ensure you get the high-performance care you expect from us. Stay tuned, we can’t wait to introduce you to our new favorites very soon!

Treatment Highlight: Spend Less Time Shaving, More Time at the Lake!

Summer in Michigan is way too short to spend it stuck in the bathroom with a razor. If you’re tired of the constant cycle of shaving, ingrown hairs, and "strawberry legs," it’s time to talk about Permanent Hair Reduction. At Element 36 Spa, we are proud to be one of the area’s only certified providers of the Epilfree system.

Why Epilfree is a Summer Game-Changer:

Botanical & Safe: Unlike traditional lasers, Epilfree is a professional, botanical-based treatment.
No Limitations: It works on all skin tones and all hair colors, including blonde, red, and grey hair that lasers often miss!
No Sun Sensitivity: You don’t have to hide from the sun like you do with laser hair removal (though we still want you wearing your SPF!).
Progressive Results: With each session, hair regrowth is significantly inhibited until it's virtually gone.

Disclaimer: Epilfree is an optional add-on to any of our professional waxing services. For the best results, a series of treatments is recommended!

Your Summer Skin "Must-Dos"

Michigan humidity is no joke! As the weather shifts, your skincare routine should too. Here are our top three expert tips to keep your barrier strong and your complexion luminous all June long:

1. SPF is Non-Negotiable

If you do nothing else this summer, please wear your sunscreen! UV exposure is the number one cause of premature aging and hyperpigmentation. We are obsessed with PCA Skin’s clinical-grade sun protection.

For Oily/Active Days: Try the Weightless Protection Broad Spectrum SPF 45. It’s so light you’ll forget you’re wearing it.
For a Healthy Glow: The Sheer Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 45 gives you a beautiful, dewy finish while protecting your skin.

2. Lighten Up Your Hydration

When the humidity hits 90%, that heavy winter cream can start to feel like a mask. Switch to a lightweight moisturizer or a gel-based cream. This allows your skin to stay hydrated and balanced without clogging your pores or feeling greasy under your makeup.

3. Ease Up on the Exfoliation

We love a good glow, but be careful! If you’ve spent the day at the beach or out on the boat, limit your exfoliation. Sun-exposed skin is more sensitive and prone to micro-tears. Focus on soothing and repairing your barrier rather than scrubbing it away. If your skin feels warm or looks pink, stick to a gentle cleanser like the Karuna Balancing Cleanser and lots of hydration.

Jenn’s Amazon Finds: June Edition

I’ve been scouting the best tools and resources to supplement your professional treatments at home! Here are three items I’m currently loving:

The Beauty Geek's Guide to Skin Care – Knowledge is power! This book breaks down 1,000 essential definitions of common ingredients so you can understand exactly what you’re putting on your face.

2-in-1 Red Light Therapy Face & Neck Massager – This electric Gua Sha tool uses heat and vibration for lymphatic drainage. It’s the perfect way to de-puff your jawline after a salty night at a backyard BBQ!

MOONQUEEN Microfiber Facial Cloths (12 Pack) – Stop using rough bath towels on your delicate face! These fast-drying, ultra-soft cloths are a must-have for a gentle, effective cleanse.

May Newsletter

Hello May! Spring into Your Best Skin Ever 🌸✨

As the Michigan landscape finally transforms into a vibrant green, it’s the perfect time for your skin to do the same! This month is all about the "Spring Clean"—shedding those heavy winter layers and prepping your complexion for the sunny, humid days of summer ahead.

May Skincare Essentials: The Michigan Shift

In Pinckney, May weather can be a rollercoaster—one day it’s 50 degrees and raining, the next it’s 80 and sunny! Here is how to keep your skin balanced:

The Seasonal Swap: As humidity rises, swap heavy winter creams for lighter, water-based moisturizers or hydrating serums to keep your pores clear.
Polish & Prep: Winter often leaves behind a layer of dull, dead skin cells. Gentle exfoliation is key this month to reveal a fresh glow.
SPF is Non-Negotiable: With the sun reaching a higher angle, ensure you’re using a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every single day—even on those cloudy afternoons!

Product Highlight: Veg Out Organics Enzymatic Exfoliator

This professional-grade, plant-based polish uses coconut shell and sea salt to gently buff away dullness, while fruit enzymes break down impurities.

April Newsletter

Hello, Element 36 Family!

We all know the feeling: you’re scrolling through social media or walking down the beauty aisle, and you’re hit with a wave of "must-have" products. The beauty market is more oversaturated than ever, and frankly, it can be exhausting to figure out what actually works and what’s just clever marketing.

As we head into these warmer Michigan months, your skin’s needs are shifting. To help you navigate the noise, we’ve put together a "Summer-Ready" guide. Our goal is to keep your routine simple, effective, and—most importantly—glowing.

The Summer Essentials: Our Amazon Favorites

While nothing replaces professional-grade care, there are a few supplemental items we love for their convenience and effectiveness. These are perfect for getting your skin into summer shape:

Meet your new underarm obsession: Billie’s AHA Deodorant Gel in dreamy Lavender Milk. This 1.7oz powerhouse doesn't just stop odors for 24 hours—it’s a total glow-up for your pits. Formulated without aluminum, this gel uses AHAs to gently exfoliate, effectively eliminating razor burn and ingrown hairs while visibly diminishing pigmentation. The result? Silky-smooth, bright, and "summer-ready" pits that smell like a floral field. Don't just mask the scent—treat the skin.

Daily Glow-Up in Your Pocket! Meet your new at-home skincare BFF: the INIA 3-in-1 Red Light Therapy Device. Designed for both the face and neck, this little powerhouse is a total game-changer for daily maintenance. Why we’re obsessed: - De-Puff & Firm: Say goodbye to morning puffiness and hello to a tighter, lifted look. - Product Power-Up: It helps your favorite serums and creams penetrate deeper, so they actually work harder for you. - The Perfect Partner: While it doesn’t replace the deep, clinical results of our professional 360 Skin Treatments, it is the absolute best way to keep that "just-left-the-spa" glow alive every single day. Keep it firm, keep it glowing, and give your skin the daily love it deserves!

Smooth Skin Summer is Calling! First Aid Beauty - KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub with 10% AHA:

Strawberry skin? Never heard of her. Meet the First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser, the ultimate solution for those stubborn "chicken skin" bumps. Why you’ll love it: - The 10% AHA Powerhouse: Packed with Glycolic and Lactic acids to chemically exfoliate and sweep away rough patches. - Physical Polish: Pumice buffing beads manually smooth out your skin texture for an instant glow. - Summer Ready: It’s the fast track to silky, "touch-me" skin just in time for shorts and swimsuit season. Pro-tip: Use it 1-2 times a week to keep your skin feeling like velvet all summer long!

The Professional Difference

While those Amazon finds are great for daily maintenance, remember that true transformation happens in the treatment room. Summer skin faces unique challenges—increased oil production, UV exposure, and dehydration from the sun. To ensure your skin stays healthy and resilient, don't forget to:

Book Your Seasonal Treatment: Whether it’s a refreshing phytic acid peel to keep things bright or a deep-cleansing salicylic treatment to manage summer breakouts, we’re here to customize your care.
Stick to Your Pro Regimen: The professional products you get here at the spa contain higher concentrations of active ingredients than what you'll find online. Use your Amazon favorites as "boosters," but keep your professional serums and SPF as your foundation.

We can’t wait to see you in the chair soon and help you achieve your best summer skin yet. Let’s make this season your most radiant one yet!

Stay glowing,
