Enter the cryofacial, or “frotox.” Michelle Crawford (pictured left ) launched Cold Beauty just over a year ago and has achieved quite the presence at pop-up events throughout the Valley and beyond, like Moet’s Frose & Frotox Friday, poolside facials during Scottsdale Fashion Week and treatments at Coachella Festival House. Th e cryofacial is a non-invasive way to revitalize the skin on the face, neck area and scalp using a controlled hyper-cooled stream of air. It boosts blood fl ow, accelerating collagen production and releasing toxins—in under a half hour. “We are focusing on a growing number of men and women who struggle to fi t the business of maintenance and self-care into their overstuff ed routines,” Crawford says. “Our No. 1 feedback from clients is how refreshed they feel aft er just a couple minutes into the treatment.” All en Goldman President of Skindinavia @goldmanallen Known for its cult classic setting sprays, Scottsdale-based Skindinavia has been a favored beauty brand since 2005. Th e Valley’s Allen Goldman (pictured second from right) says that one of his favorite client stories has to do with a Skindinavia setting spray miraculously keeping makeup in place through 13 hours of labor. “Makeup is important,” he says. “It inspires confi dence. Our setting sprays are there for some of the most important days of people’s lives. We value that trust immensely.” Just how does it work? Skindinavia’s sprays form a lightweight web working with one’s makeup that releases slowly; the time-release evaporation retains moisture longer while also drawing heat away from the skin, which can cool makeup for up to 16 hours. Goldman found his place in the beauty biz as he was intrigued by the science and innovation behind the cosmetic industry and, looking forward, believes there will be a continued focus on healthy skin and a natural look.

Such was the case with the creation of James Anthony Skincare. “I feel that this skincare line chose me,” says Jennifer Hayes, founder and CEO of James Anthony Skincare and a 20-year veteran of the beauty industry. “I never thought or was interested in starting a skincare line. But after having so many issues with my own skin, I started really investigating skincare products and was disappointed with the industry as a whole. It all just fell into place.” Hayes says that her skincare line—which includes cleanser, toner, a.m. and p.m. creams, serum and more much—balances the skin on a cellular level, helping with aging, acne, rosacea and various other skin concerns. This year, Hayes is excited to put out three new products (“We really listen to our customers and take their wants very seriously,” she says) as well as make the line available in select brick-and-mortar locations.

Taking care of your body and skin can be fun, and daily habits matter. Small changes have a huge impact and doing preventative maintenance is the best way to look and feel your best at every age.” Say Cheese: Stop by Vibrant Skin Bar to take a picture in the “Be Vibrant” photo booth!

It is also rewarding to help them choose products that will change/improve their skin.” (Her favorite facial? Th e Hydrafacial, which deeply cleanses, exfoliates, extracts and hydrates.) With 27 years of experience, Kelly has seen the tide change in the beauty industry, but notes that CBD and stem cell-based off erings will continue to be huge in 2020. “At-home devices continue to grow as well, providing micro-current and LED therapy, as do beautiful gemstone rollers and Gua Sha tools to stimulate blood fl ow and de-puff the entire face,” she says. Jamie Comstock Clinical Director at MDSkin Lounge @Jamie_Comstock Jamie Comstock had a front-row seat to the world of aesthetic medicine long before people had the benefi t of Instagram fi lters. “My mom is a dermatologist and began a cosmetic and procedural dermatology practice over 30 years ago,” says Comstock, clinical director with MDSkin Lounge and certifi ed physician assistant. “She stopped taking insurance to focus on skin health, injectables and lasers—before it was as popular as it is now.” Aft er seeing the uplift ing eff ect that her mother’s work had on patients, she became interested in the psychological impact that skincare, health and anti-aging had on well-being. “I am passionate about using aesthetics to bring out the beauty in everyone,” she says. “I want to give my patients the opportunity to look like the best versions of themselves and feel beautiful from the inside out.” Comstock, who is most well-known for her ability to create natural-looking results with fi llers, neuromodulators and lasers, believes that clients will continue to pursue treatments to overall augment—not change—their beauty. “Everyone has their own unique beauty, and I'm here to help maintain and enhance that beauty.” March.indd 73March.indd 732/24/20 2:56 PM2/24/20 2:56 PMAnnie Bruno - Thurston Owner of Skin Charm and Board-Certified Aesthetics Nursing Specialist @NurseAnnabelle For Annie Bruno-Thurston, the owner of Skin Charm, a new skin health practice in Scottsdale, the biggest compliment that a patient can pay her is that she helped to make them feel like themselves once again. “The most rewarding thing a patient can say is that they see a version of themselves in the mirror that they haven't seen in a long time,” she says. “I love when patients say ‘I see me again.’” Bruno-Thurston has been working in aesthetics for the past decade, upon spending seven years working in facial plastic surgery where she specialized in injectable services. The Arizona native has always relished the opportunity to make people feel like the most beautiful versions of themselves. “I love working with people, but I also love being able to artistically express myself through working with injectable procedures. Every face is so different, and I love highlighting each patient's beautiful features that make them unique.” Bruno-Thurston is excited to share her knowledge alongside aesthetician Jena Irby in their new podcast, Charm School, launching this March.

Whether it is correcting thin lips or a sagging face, what I do involves more than just correcting an issue that is skin deep.” Th e expert injector started in medical aesthetics 10 years ago aft er a career as a hospital RN. Now, as a nurse practitioner, her clients turn to her to achieve a natural, refreshed look. In addition to her lineup of injectable or laser off erings, this year Baker is implementing a non-invasive and/or liquid facelift . “By thoughtfully placing fi llers in anatomically appropriate locations, I am able to provide a lift to nearly any area of the face. Heavy brows, volume-depleted cheeks and jowls of the lower face can be lift ed. Th e results are immediate and look natural.” Beautifiers 2020 March.indd 75March.indd 752/24/20 2:56 PM2/24/20 2:56 PMAimee Werner Founder of Whish Beauty @whishbeauty More than 10 years ago, Aimee Werner ended up using her husband’s shaving cream aft er running out of her own drugstore variety. It was then she realized that the products she had been using were actually drying and irritating her skin. “Th at moment, I knew that the ingredients you put on your skin make all of the diff erence.” Today, her high-performance, natural skin care and body care line, Whish Beauty, has more than 70 items—ranging from moisturizers and serums to hair-removal and self-tanning products, all void of harmful chemicals. “My hope is that we are making it easy for everyone to make intelligent choices for their skin,” says Werner. “We were natural before it was cool, so to see the world get on board with that mission is amazing!” In addition to clean beauty dominating the beauty market, Werner says that sustainable packaging will continue to gain momentum this year.

With her pretty- enough-to-keep-on-the-vanity product line, ALINE SCOTTSDALE (which is available online and soon to be at local retailers), Martinez Campbell aims to help others be the best version of themselves, starting with glowy, nourished skin—which isn’t always easy in this desert climate. What’s next for Martinez Campbell? “I will be starting a new skincare product to address a need for amputees,” she says, noting that her beloved brother is an amputee with severe skin sensitivity issues that she hopes to tackle.
