Edition #008: Cristina Keller with Skin Fairy Aesthetics
Hi, my name is Cristina Keller and I’m the owner of Skin Fairy Aesthetics located in Phoenix, Arizona. Someone at one point in my esthetics career called me a “Skin Fairy” and well, it just stuck. 10 years later, Skin Fairy Aesthetics has a storefront where corrective skincare meets relaxation. My goal for every single client that walks through my doors is for them to leave feeling like 1 million bucks. We strive for quality over quantity and we make sure every single client receives a truly personal & curated experience.
Skin Fairy is also fully immersive skincare shopping experience! I wanted people to be able to come in and browse for high-quality skincare products in our boutique even if they’re not a client of ours (they eventually become one.) I vowed to only carry the best of the best and that’s exactly why I partnered with ANFISA Skin.
Q: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE @ANFISASKIN PRODUCT?
A: My ride or die ANFISA product is of course, ÂN-BALM. She is the only reason my skin glows as much as it does and retains any sort of moisture in this desert oasis I live in. Safer, acne, prone skin, I recommend this bomb to oil product with confidence to all of my clients, looking for that additional hydration moisture in their skincare routine.
Q: WHAT SETS ÂN-GLOSS APART FROM OTHER LIP PRODUCTS?
A: ÂN-GLOSS is one of those products you have to experience yourself. Luxury meets efficiency with this one. The texture, the applicator, the shine and the hydration all go hand-in-hand to create the most perfect lip gloss you will ever use. Not only is it luxurious to use, but it’s also super effective by keeping lips hydrated during the cold winter months and beyond. You can layer it over your lipstick, wear it alone, use it as a nighttime lip product— it really is so versatile.
Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE BEAUTY TREATMENT AND WHY?
A: My favorite beauty treatment would have to be a Hydrafacial, but not just any ol’ Hydrafacial— Hydrafacial Fairy Glow, which is our signature treatment and our most requested service. Going back to skincare meets relaxation, this treatment truly cleans OUT your pores, while simultaneously hydrating your skin with zero downtime. Skincare and makeup goes on 10 times better after one and it lasts way longer than a regular facial!
Q: WHAT ARE YOUR TOP 3 RIDE OR DIE SKINCARE/BEAUTY PRODUCTS?
A: SkinBetter Science Intensive Alpharet Overnight Cream, Hydrinity PRELUDE Facial Treatment Cleanser, and ANFISA Skin ÂN-BALM! All three serve different purposes, but have one same goal in mind. Hydrated, plump, and dewy skin!
Q: WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE WAYS TO INCORPORATE ANFISA SKIN PRODUCTS INTO YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE?
A: I love utilizing ÂN-BALM in the morning under SPF and at nighttime over moisturizer to lock everything in. ÂN-GLOSS is another versatile product that I use morning, night or some days both depending on how bougie I’m feeling.
Q: ARE THERE ANY UNCONVENTIONAL BEAUTY SECRETS YOU SWEAR BY?
A: I will ALWAYS use Q-tips to clean my ears out. You can pry them from my cold, dead hands.
Q: HOW DO YOU STAY UP TO DATE ON THE LATEST TRENDS AND ADVANCEMENTS IN THE SKINCARE INDUSTRY?
A: I’m constantly going to shows, investing in my education and furthering my skincare knowledge. Heck, I’m going back to laser school because I need a refresher and will be adding lasers into our clinic very soon! I love learning and will never stop.
Q: LASTLY, WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT BEING AN ESTHETICIAN?
A: Making people feel beautiful and comfortable in their own skin is honestly the most rewarding thing I’ll ever do in my life. Skincare is anything but “skin deep.” I’ve had people look in the mirror after their first treatment with me and tear up because they truly look and feel their best. Maybe magic wands and fairies really do exist. (Skin ones at least!)
