Renewal Skin Co

Renewal Skin Co is an owner-run studio in Selden, on Long Island, offering facial treatments and bridal makeup.

Kimberly began in bridal makeup and has worked as a bridal artist for more than ten years. She later trained as an esthetician, and the studio brings the two sides together. Her skin treatments are rooted in skin health and are tailored at every visit to what the client's skin needs that day.

The facial menu starts with The Skin Reset, a one-hour customized facial meant to balance the skin, support the skin barrier and add hydration. It opens with double cleansing and exfoliation, includes extractions when they are needed, and continues with massage of the face, neck, décolleté and/or scalp, a mask chosen for the client and LED light therapy. The Luxe Glow is a longer, hour-and-a-half option for clients who want a deeper, more relaxing session with advanced rejuvenation, and it can add dermaplaning, Oxygen Rx or a firming peptide treatment. The Autumn Renewal is a seasonal one-hour facial built around gentle exfoliation, antioxidant-rich ingredients, hydration, massage and LED light therapy.

Bridal makeup is the studio's other focus. Kimberly's aim is to enhance a bride's natural features rather than hide them, so the result looks like her on the wedding day, with fresh-looking skin and a soft, defined finish. Each look starts with skin preparation, product selection and a deliberate application method. A Makeup Preview, a trial session of about 1.5 hours held before the wedding, lets the bride talk through the look and test it; the site recommends booking it about four months before the date. Trials can be booked before a wedding is reserved, but a trial does not hold the date.

Wedding dates are booked first come, first served. A booking is secured with a signed contract and a non-refundable retainer of 50% of the total price, and weddings can be scheduled up to a year and a half ahead. Kimberly can accommodate parties of up to seven people herself; larger parties include an additional artist she chooses. After an inquiry form, prospective clients receive a PDF with pricing and booking details, followed by a complimentary phone call, and the studio says contact-form inquiries get a reply within 24 hours. On the wedding day, the artist arrives 30 minutes before the scheduled start and works from a timeline sent a month in advance.

Facial treatments are rooted in skin health and customized at every visit. Bridal makeup aims to enhance natural features, using skin preparation, selected products and an intentional application technique.
