Beta-Clarity Advanced Acne Facial: Our Holistic + Clinical Approach to Clear Skin

At Citron, we believe that clear skin isn’t achieved through aggressive force and that it’s all about balance. Acne typically begins beneath the surface in the skin’s microbiome, as a result of stress, and even the nervous system even plays a role.

We designed our new Beta-Clarity Advanced Acne Facial to address all of these factors by combining clean, clinical products and treatments with soothing techniques that help the mind, body, and nervous system relax.

Relaxation and stress relief is a core focus (in addition to strategically chosen products) for an intentional reason. I have first-hand experience with stress being one of the main factors when I experience the worse breakouts. When the mind and body are under a lot of stress, it even disrupts healthy hormone function, and it affects how you eat.

Maybe your stress is stemming from having an overscheduled calendar. Not only are you going to crave more comfort foods (there’s a reason people go for ice cream and not green beans when they are going through a break up), but there’s a good chance you’re eating on the run which can also lead to less healthy choices as well as missed work outs that typically would relieve stress. There for, the goal is to take a holistic approach to addressing the root cause- stress.

A Calm Approach to Clinical Results

This treatment begins with the power of advanced exfoliation. Using a Level 2 professional BHA peel featuring salicylic acid and targeted acne-fighting actives, we gently dissolve congestion, reduce inflammation, and clarify pores without stripping the skin.

The goal is not to aggressively correct, but to gently reset, allowing the skin’s natural healing mechanisms to thrive.

Our estheticians work with a refined, corrective product line formulated specifically to:

• Regulate excess oil and bacteria

• Minimize inflammation and redness

• Prevent new breakouts from forming

• Strengthen the skin’s barrier function

Our philosophy towards clinical treatments is that they need to be clean (meaning: free from harmful or harsh ingredients) while also being affective. Health is the number one factor that influences our decision to work with a product or technique in our treatments.

If that test is passed, the second most important factor is that it’s result oriented. Our guests want to see a difference in their skin. I know for me, when I am breaking out badly, I don’t even want to be seen and I feel embarrassed. I always want our guests to feel comfortable and confident in their own skin so that they can then thrive the way they were meant to in all areas of life, without being self-conscious or too focused on how they look.

Aroma, Touch, and the Nervous System

We understand that the nervous system plays a vital role in skin health. Stress triggers hormonal changes that increase oil production and inflammation, and chronic tension can literally show up as breakouts. Every element of this facial is crafted to soothe the senses, relax the body, and reset the nervous system.

As your facial begins, a deep calming cleanse followed by aromatic steamed towels infused with soothing herbs and botanicals like rosemary, lemon, and lavender awaken the senses and open the pores. Every step that follows is paired with massage with slow, intentional movements that allow the body to relax and exhale:

• A facial massage to boost circulation and lymphatic drainage

• Hand, arm, foot, and scalp massage to melt away built-up stress

• Calming breathwork and warm compresses to ground the nervous system

One of the best feelings we get as estheticians at citron is seeing what a profound impact our treatments have on the sense of calm, and pure bliss of our guests. This is the nervous system care that we’re talking about and so strongly believe in to achieve radiant wellness.

The Infrared + Elixir Experience

To complete your Beta-Clarity ritual, each facial includes time in our private infrared sauna. This is a gentle yet powerful therapy that supports the skin from the inside out. Infrared heat works by raising the body’s core temperature, which in turn stimulates circulation, boosts cellular repair, and encourages the lymphatic system to flush out impurities that can contribute to acne.

This internal detoxification helps reduce inflammation and congestion beneath the skin’s surface while promoting oxygenation, two key factors in healing active breakouts and preventing future ones. As circulation improves, nutrients are delivered more efficiently to the skin, helping it rebuild a stronger, healthier barrier.

Infrared therapy is also deeply restorative for the nervous system. It lowers cortisol (the body’s stress hormone), which in turn helps stabilize oil production and hormonal activity, which as I had mentioned is a major root cause of acne flare-ups.

The Beta-Clarity Advanced Acne Facial includes:

• 15 minutes with the 30-minute facial

• 30 minutes with the 60- and 90-minute facials

After your treatment, you’ll receive our signature cold ginger elixir, handcrafted with antioxidant-rich ginger and citrus. This refreshing ritual not only makes you feel rejuvenated, it’s also functional. The elixir aids in digestion, balances blood sugar, and is a natural anti-inflammatory boost that enhances the skin’s detox process.

When your body is hydrated, nourished, and calm, the skin has that same effect. These touches are based on our holistic philosophy: radiant wellness is achieved when the body, skin, and mind are all in balance.

Having this type of full circle, holistic approach truly makes you feel well. The feeling of refreshment, rejuvenation, calm, and lightness is the exact inside out result we are going for. What I love most is that not only are our guests able to feel this good in their own bodies and minds, they create a ripple by inspiring others around them to do the same. They are better able to care for the loved ones in their lives, infusing health into all areas of their lives and relationships.
