Welcome to Skin Body and Mind
Meet Maria Mihaylova
Licensed Esthetician for 20 years.
Every skin has a story to tell. That is why I believe in fully personalized facial treatments and consultations.
​
Hi. I am Maria. I am the founder of The Acne Clinic, online consultations, and Not Just Skin. I have done other things too, like been the Marketing Director of Whole Foods Market, served as an expert in About.com, when existed, I have been the opening trainer of beautiful spas. My passion for skin care goes way back, since the times I watched my grandmother use the flower of a rose for blush. The times in which my mom and her friends would get together and make their own products, that were kept in the fridge, because they would go bad in a couple of days.
​
Few other things compare to the smile on a client's face, when seeing their skin clear from acne, scars or discoloration. That one hour facial I spend with a client, each one is a story on its own. Some clients are getting ready for a big event, some just need the quiet time, some are there with a personalized plan they are committed to, the stories are endless, but I am a part of each and every one of them. It's an honor.

Wait, there is more
You probably haven't realized it, but we are quite a big community. I have learned so much from my clients, and I have passed information down to others, about products, services, books, practitioners, etc. If you are one of those clients who benefited from that, most likely, the information came from someone who had a service with me before you. Or my own experience.
That is why I decided to do a newsletter, hopefully monthly, to share skin care and any other tips I come across. So many of my clients have such interesting events or businesses going on, worth spreading the word.
I am a single mom of a wonderful boy. Which actually makes me value people's time a lot more, because...well, let's say I get it.
My son and my clients inspire me in ways words cannot describe.
​
Although I have several three fancy letters after my name, I rather be Maria, the esthetician. I am passionate about skin care and self-esteem, I have saved quite a bit of animals, I am addicted to my son's smile, I have the best family and friends, and I believe in the power of the smile.
