Most people have a skincare routine. Almost no one has a body skincare routine.
The same biology that responds to your facial ingredients, exfoliation schedule, and barrier-supporting moisturizers applies everywhere below your chin. Without consistent attention, the result is predictable: dryness, congestion, uneven tone, sluggish circulation, and dull texture that accumulates over months and years. For clients in Marin County, where active lifestyles and year-round sun exposure compound these effects, the gap between face and body care is often significant.
Skin performs better when it is cared for consistently — not selectively.
Why Body Skin Care Needs a Clinical Approach
At Resonance Marin in Corte Madera, our body treatments apply the same principles as your facial. We begin with dry exfoliation to lift surface accumulation and stimulate circulation before the skin is wet. This is a step most at-home routines skip entirely, and it makes a meaningful difference in how subsequent products penetrate and perform. Dry exfoliation is one of the most effective tools for addressing keratosis pilaris, rough texture on the upper arms, and the buildup that accumulates on the back and décolleté over time.
Targeted masking follows. Unlike facial masks, body masks are applied to larger surface areas with different skin thickness and texture concerns — upper arms, back, décolleté, legs — each of which benefits from different formulations depending on what the skin is doing. Congested back skin responds differently than dry, rough elbow skin or uneven-toned décolleté. Our estheticians assess your skin's current state and select formulations accordingly, rather than applying a single product across every surface.
We close with barrier support — products formulated to restore the lipid layer, improve resilience, and protect against the environmental stressors that skin below the chin faces constantly: friction from clothing, temperature fluctuation, and the limited sun protection most people apply to their bodies daily.
What Clients Notice After Body Skin Care Treatments
The results that clients at our Corte Madera spa notice most: improved skin texture on the arms and back, reduced keratosis pilaris, more even tone across the décolleté, and a general quality of skin that looks attended to rather than neglected.
For clients who book body treatments alongside their facials, the difference compounds. Skin that is consistently cared for across its full surface area functions better — it holds hydration more effectively, responds to active ingredients more predictably, and maintains tone over time. This is the same principle that drives results in your facial protocol, applied to the surface area most people have been ignoring for years.
Body Treatments at Resonance Marin
At Resonance Marin, body skin care treatments are available as standalone appointments or paired with facial treatments at our Corte Madera spa. Our Full Body Skin Care Enzyme Peel is available in 60 or 90 minutes and can be customized based on your skin's current state and goals — whether you're addressing texture, tone, congestion, or all three.
Your skincare shouldn't stop at your chin. The rest of your skin is worth the same attention.
