FUNCTIONAL SKINCARE FOR REAL, LASTING RESULTS.

At The Holistic Skin Specialist, I offer functional results-driven, holistic skincare using medical-grade, non-toxic products to treat aging, acne, rosacea, and hyperpigmentation.

As Santa Barbara’s first certified Face HIIT consultant and a specialist in facial infusions, I help sculpt and lift the skin while boosting collagen and elastin—naturally, without damage, downtime, Botox, or fillers. With advanced training in skin mapping, I analyze your skin’s signals and muscle patterns to detox, nourish, and rejuvenate.

Skincare is a journey to confidence, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

MEET CHRISTINE

Christine Duell, also known as The Holistic Skin Specialist, started her esthetics studio to share her life long passion for skincare and to help others avoid falling into the skincare pitfalls that she learned through her own journey to healthier skin. Christine wanted to create a space that prioritizes true skin longevity, focusing on nourishing and strengthening the skin rather than breaking it down.
