Transportation to another dimension has yet to be proven possible, but Lisa Cannella’s facials might be the closest thing to it. Skin & Soul by Lisa in Salt Lake City offers everything from waxing and microneedling to chemical peels and microblading, all of which can yield incredible results. Over the years, Cannella has put in serious time to further both her education and her practice, helping clients understand how to work with their own skin — and become comfortable in it.
Sessions with Cannella are calming and enlightening. Her 90-minute facials in particular have the power to transform your face, and state of mind. “That [facial] incorporates a lot of energetic clearing using tuning forks and sound bowls,” Cannella says. “And each facial is customized to your skin.”
The aesthetician has spent nearly two decades helping clients achieve stunning results, aiming to elevate the experience with a personal touch.
“As I have evolved spiritually and understand energetics in such a deeper way, I have brought my own personal practices into my facials to not only nurture the skin but nurture my client’s soul,” Cannella says. To maintain the in-between-facial glow, Cannella stresses making skincare an everyday practice.
“As we age, our skin changes, and we stop building collagen. Just like you have to go to the gym and work out your muscles if you want to feel strong, we have to do the same with our skin,” Cannella says.
“Facials help with collagen production and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. It’s good to start small, learn, and [gain] a better understanding of your skin and where you want to go with it — and it’s really important to have a good aesthetician who can help guide you in that direction.”
At-Home Facial Must-Haves
Cannella recommends getting a facial at least every season and encourages using professional-grade products at home. Here are three products she lives by:
1. Circadia Myo-Cyte Plus Anti-Wrinkle Serum
“There’s an ingredient in this that is similar to Botox and relaxes your muscles. It’s a bit of a splurge, but it really works.”
2. Lira Clinical BB Tint 30
“This BB tint is so creamy, and a little goes a long way. It doesn’t feel cakey or appear visible on the skin and gives good coverage and protection.”
3. Michele Corley Revitalizing Peptide & Stem Cell Eye Gel
“This eye gel is a fave. It’s so hydrating and feels so soft. You can bring it all the way to your lash line with zero irritation, and it’s rich in vitamins and peptides.”
