My friends laugh at me because the only resolutions I have this year are to run a marathon and maintain my beauty regimen. Not a lot of personal growth there, more of a focus on feeling the best I possibly can in myself. As life continues to get busier, the first thing that drops out of focus is how I care for myself. My skin, my wellness – the whole bit. The constant calendaring, the scattered appointments, and the sheer mental load of it all has, frankly, taken some of the sparkle and fun out of beauty.
But no more. This year, my resolution is to simplify, streamline, reclaim my precious time but still feel my absolute best. I found a place close to home – Reve Skin + Beauty – that has taken a unique approach to beauty treatments and is the ultimate one-stop-shop. Meet: Reve Skin + Beauty in Sydney’s Annandale.
The Ultimate One-Stop Beauty Shop
Reve Skin + Beauty isn’t just another beauty salon. Imagine walking into one beautifully appointed space and, in a single, seamless booking, ticking off an entire checklist of beauty essentials.
For me, that is a HydraFacial to give my skin a really solid clean. I have young kids who love to touch my face, and I’m always outside running, so I feel the grit of grimy fingers and the outdoors all over my skin. A HydraFacial clears out your pores and hydrates your skin, and you get the instant gratification of feeling fresh and new when you walk out.
Alongside the HydraFacial, it’s fresh eyebrows, an eye-opening eyelash lift, and a perfectly polished mani and pedi. All in one go. The sheer genius of this “one-stop-shop” approach has me genuinely excited for a year of beauty that feels less like a chore and more like the pampering it’s supposed to be.
The Gift of Time
The most obvious, and perhaps most liberating benefit of this approach is the unparalleled convenience. In the past, maintaining my beauty routine felt like a logistical puzzle. Each service required a separate booking, often in different suburbs.
I love that I’ve found a way to untangle that complex web into a single booking. I’ve set up regular 6-weekly appointments and try to time them around events like weddings, big fancy work events, or after what I know will be a busy period, so I can have something relaxing to look forward to.
A Huge Roster of Treatments
Alongside the treatments that are on my regular roster (HydraFacial, brows, lashes and nails), Reve Skin + Beauty also offer advanced skin treatments and aesthetic treatments for maintenance all in one place. I’m yet to dabble but if you have concerns like acne scarring, pigmentation, concerns around aging skin, or even an interest in cosmetic tattooing, it can all be addressed under one roof. The staff are super knowledgeable and friendly, and can spend time with you for a proper consultation to understand what would be best for you and your skin. There’s also special packages the team have put together that give you a savings if you pre-book all in one go.
If you’re looking to simplify your beauty regimen this year, and ensure you stay consistent with your skin health and maintenance, look for a salon that can cater to all your needs under one roof. You’ll save time and effort and hopefully a bit of cash along the way.
