Hi, I’m Samantha

I’m a licensed aesthetician with a focus in acne, skin barrier repair, and the often-overlooked emotional side of skin conditions — including skin picking.

I created Samantha Master Skin because acne isn’t just a surface issue. It affects confidence, routines, mental health, and how we move through our day-to-day. Some advice online, and even in the treatment room, can feel totally overwhelming. When you have acne, everything can already feel overwhelming, so hopefully, this is a space that can help ease that.

The Why

In my treatment room, I see it every day:

Clients who are doing everything right but still feel frustrated, discouraged, or stuck. Clients whose skin improves… then flares again. Clients who want clear skin, but also want to feel safe in their skin.

I also know firsthand how anxiety and skin can feed into each other. I’ve struggled with skin picking myself — especially during periods of stress — and I understand how quickly it can become part of an anxious cycle. That experience deeply shapes how I approach acne care today.

Samantha Master Skin exists to be a resource you can come back to — whether you’re dealing with active breakouts, a damaged barrier, skin picking, and the aftermath of acne, which can include the leftover spots that need healing.

If you’ve ever felt like your skin is “failing,” I want you to know: it’s not. It’s responding. And with the right approach, it can heal.

More About Me

Outside of skincare, I’m a wife and a mom, balancing real life with a career I truly love. I believe skincare should fit into your life — not take it over.

I guess I can fit into the Disney adult category (but like… a very normal one), I love all things Bravo, and I’m deeply appreciative of routines that feel calming, grounding, and a little luxurious. I’m a “spa girl” at heart. Those same values show up in how I teach skincare: intentional, simple, and sustainable.

I’m glad you’re here!
