Your skin doesn’t need the same thing every month, which is exactly why a facial shouldn’t follow the same formula every time. Offered exclusively at Karen Allen Salon + Spa in Riverside, skin care services combine personalized consultation with plant-powered Aveda care for concerns ranging from dehydration and sensitivity to uneven tone, congestion, texture and visible signs of aging. Choose from customized facials, botanical peels, dermaplaning and targeted enhancements, with 30-, 60- and 90-minute options available. Thoughtful Aveda rituals make caring for your skin feel every bit as good as the results.

Aveda Facials & Skin Care in Riverside, CA

There are times when skin needs hydration. Other times, the priority is clearing congestion, softening texture, restoring brightness or giving sensitive skin a little less to fight with. Karen Allen’s skin care approach starts by figuring out which of those conversations your skin is having.

The Riverside spa offers customized Aveda facial treatments for dry, oily, uneven, sensitive and acne-prone skin. Following a consultation, the esthetician selects professional products, aromas, therapeutic touch and techniques around the guest’s individual concerns rather than working from a standard facial protocol.

For more targeted exfoliation, Aveda’s plant-powered alternatives to traditional microdermabrasion and chemical peels offer another option. The Dual Exfoliation Peel combines mechanical and biochemical exfoliation to address texture, clarity, fine lines and the appearance of pores. The Perfecting Plant Peel uses glucosamine and naturally derived salicylic acid to smooth and retexture the skin without the redness and irritation associated with more aggressive peels.

Guests can also add focused treatments such as dermaplaning, plant stem cell and plant acid facial treatments, eye treatments and facial waxing. Back facials are available for skin concerns beyond the face.

The details surrounding the service matter here, too. Spa guests are invited to arrive early, change into a robe and slippers and enjoy a complimentary foot ritual, along with signature Aveda touches such as herbal tea and massage.

For guests searching for Aveda facials and professional skin care in Riverside, Karen Allen Salon + Spa brings together personalized treatment, plant-powered products and the unrushed care that has been part of the salon and spa since 2000.
