What was once a childhood dream is now a reality in the form of The Skin Lounge, a boutique skincare studio in Northern Colorado founded by licensed aesthetician and skincare transformation coach, Amna Rafiq. Not just any skincare studio, The Skin Lounge strives to transform the way guests perceive beauty and overall wellness by going beyond superficial societal standards. They do this by equipping their guests with knowledge, tools, and ongoing support to empower them to prioritize not only their skin, but their well-being in all aspects of their lives.
Their commitment to their clientele goes far beyond superficial beauty standards. At the Skin Lounge they believe that true beauty is a holistic concept that encompasses physical, mental, and emotional well-being. They aim to inspire confidence, nurture self-love, and help customers embrace their unique and authentic beauty. From education to providing the best, custom curated treatments the industry has to offer, they’re redefining beauty from the inside out. Amna explains, “We are passionate about what we do and ultimately we are trying to improve people’s lives—empowering our clients through beauty and self-love. We look at our clients as a whole.”
Amna was born and raised in Pakistan and moved to Colorado in 2001. She’s loved skin care and makeup for as long as she can remember and many of her techniques are inspired by asian skin care standards. She started The Skin Lounge in 2019 with the intention of providing skin care services that are not only relaxing and enjoyable but also deliver lasting results. She is particularly passionate about helping women over 35 transform their skin through non-invasive treatments and expert guidance.
“I want everyone to feel included and heard,” Amna explains. “I want my clients to feel at ease that not only is their skin being taken care of but we also want to make a positive difference in each and every one of their lives. It’s far more than beauty.”
As soon as you walk through the door of the Skin Lounge you are immediately enveloped by the calm, nurturing, and elegant atmosphere. Rooted in kindness and attentiveness as well as cutting-edge techniques, The Skin Lounge is proud to offer an array of transformative skin care services, premium products, and unique treatments. They start with comprehensive skin consultations and custom curate all the treatments according to their clients’ needs. Their services include Advanced Bespoke Facials, Plasma Fibroblast, Jett Plasma, Oxylight® Facial, Gua Sha + Buccal Massage, facial and head massages, and skin consultations. They also carry scientifically backed brands like Environ and Alastin skincare.
“We firmly believe that self-care is not a luxury but an essential part of a fulfilling life and we are honored to be part of our guests' personal growth and well-being,” Amna shares.
When it comes to Amna making self-care a priority in her own life she admits that self-care for her is not just an action but a philosophy. “Simply put, self-care is all about recognizing that you are ‘worth’ your time.”
Customized, transformative and imparted with love, The Skin Lounge is not simply a skin clinic. It’s a luxury mind-body experience and their greatest passion is empowering their clientele through self-care and providing the tools to celebrate their natural beauty and ignite confidence.
“We are empowering our clients through beauty and self-love. We look at our clients as a whole.”
