At Afterglow Skin Studio, our philosophy is rooted in giving more to the skin than we take away. For nearly 10 years, I’ve been providing preventative and corrective skincare services in the Coachella Valley, focusing on treatments that nourish and support your skin’s natural function. Just as in life, where acts of kindness and generosity create a positive ripple effect, our approach prioritizes replenishing the skin with beneficial ingredients and techniques rather than stripping it away.

In addition to using our custom farm fresh Botnia resurfacing masks and our Osmosis Facial Infusion, I incorporate facial massage to revive and nourish the skin. This hands-on approach not only enhances product absorption but also stimulates circulation, boosts lymphatic drainage, and deeply relaxes facial muscles, giving your skin a fresh, vibrant glow.

Every aspect of our treatments is designed to feed, restore, and protect, ensuring your skin receives the essential care it deserves. At Afterglow, we believe in the power of giving more—nurturing your skin to reveal your most radiant self.

  • Signature Glow

    We begin by observing your skin as it presents itself, then we go to work fully customizing your treatment from our raw apothecary to build a facial around your skin's needs. All ingredients and 1 modality are chosen based on the current state of your skin and your own personal goals. Your session includes extractions if needed, LED light therapy to stimulate collagen production & a tranquil massage with concentrated focus on the muscles of the face boosting circulation for a natural vibrant glow.

  • The Reformer

    This two part service begins with the appropriate enhancement for your skin. Next a deep tissue massaging of the fascia of the face, neck, oral cavity, shoulders & head is performed. The service is concluded with facial cupping. Increased circulation of blood and oxygen to the muscles + lymphatic movement helps remove waste & free radicals from subcutaneous adipose tissue thus nourishing the skin. The skin is left glowing, tone, and lifted.

  • Express Glow

    After a thorough cleansing and evaluating your skin, I will choose the appropriate ingredients from our raw apothecary and 1 modality to address your skin condition and concerns. This service includes extractions. If time allows light facial massage is also included.

    Our express glow is designed for those short on time, with a smaller budget or for those who require multiple sessions schedules two weeks apart. (Also amazing for teens!)

  • The Ultimate Glow

    Everything you need is yours. After a detailed skin analysis, we select the appropriate ingredients from our raw apothecary along with 3 modalities to address your skin type and concerns. This luxurious session features extensive shoulder and facial massage plus LED light therapy to stimulate collagen and improve texture & tone. Our Ultimate glow rejuvenates and revitalizes the skin and ensures you are also deeply relaxes and unwound by the end of your session

  • Sculpt & Glow

    The ultimate holistic skin transformation. This luxurious service combines my sculpting facial massage (aka The Reformer) to tone and relax the muscles of the face, with a Vitamin A infusion cocktail to boost collagen and elastin production. Our specialized massage techniques w/facial cupping enhance facial contours and promote lymphatic drainage, while our Vitamin A cocktail induces collagen production. The result? A visibly glowing, refreshed complexion with enhanced elasticity and a sculpted look.

  • Advanced Glow

    We begin by observing your skin as it presents itself, then we go to work fully customizing your treatment from our raw apothecary to build a facial around your skin's needs. All ingredients and 2 modalities are chosen based on the current state of your skin and your own personal goals. Your session includes extractions if needed, LED light therapy to stimulate collagen production & a tranquil massage with concentrated focus on the muscles of the face boosting circulation for a natural vibrant glow.

  • "I’ve been dealing with acne off and on for the last few years. Katerina has helped my skin come a long way. The products she uses are amazing. Good ingredients, easily on my sensitive skin but strong enough to help with the acne. She’s knowledgeable about what products will and won’t work for me. Every time I go in it’s like the stress of the world melts away. She’s the best, I highly recommend her"

  • Katerina is one of the kindest, knowledgeable, and genuine souls I’ve ever met! She takes her time and is so intentional with making sure you feel relaxed and makes sure to give you step by step of what is going on during your service. You can ask her any questions regarding your skin and health and she has got you. I planned on only sticking with her to skin prep for my wedding but here we are 6 months later and I look forward to seeing her monthly. BOOK AN APPT!! You’ll be hooked and won’t regret it, worth every penny every time.

  • Katerina pours so much love into her craft. Not only does she go above and beyond with meeting all of your skin care needs, she takes it a step further with making you feel and look your absolute best! I have been going to Kat for quite a while now and I completely trust her with all of my face/skin care needs. From the double cleanse, to the facial massage, to the extractions, dermaplane, level 1 & 2 peels, neck and shoulder massage, you’ll leave feeling like a new and improved person. Book with Kat and you will not be disappointed!

  • Love Katerina and the service she provides. She’s always so sweet and welcoming, listens to my skin goals and recommends changes & products to help me achieve my goals. Takes time to ensure products are okay during the entire experience and explains everything she is using.
