Today we’d like to introduce you to Lianna Warden.
Lianna, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
As an insecure teenager, I always played with makeup, sometimes too much, to improve how I felt about myself. I loved everything about creating beauty externally. After graduating high school, I went straight to Esthetics school, hoping to help others feel better about themselves.
I then attended Makeup Design School in LA, but I was put off by the vanity and insincerity in the makeup world. So, I decided to use my esthetics knowledge differently and moved back to Cincinnati to pursue a career in skincare. Working under various mentors, I became fascinated with the physiology and complexity of the skin.
As an Esthetician in day spas and medical spas, I developed a passion for creating beautiful skin that boosts confidence without heavy makeup. In 2010, I moved to Salt Lake City, obtained my “Master Esthetician” license, and continued to expand my knowledge and passion, working with many amazing individuals.
Though I enjoyed being the Director of Training and Education for a medical skincare company, I missed the hands-on work and client interactions in the treatment room. My interest in yoga and Reiki led me to appreciate healing the body and loving oneself unconditionally.
This inspired me to open my own business, bridging holistic and medical skincare, and treating skin from both the inside out and outside in. This approach has given my clients long-lasting results and confidence. The relationships I’ve built and the gratitude expressed by my clients have been the greatest achievements of my career, bringing immense fulfillment.
We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The journey hasn’t been without many challenges!
Starting my business, I underestimated the difficulty, not realizing that my role would extend beyond service provider to receptionist, bookkeeper, marketer, cleaner, supply manager, and even social media influencer. It’s been a process of finding my flow, but I’m learning to love every step of this journey.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I specialize in Holistic Medical Skincare. I use my 20 + years of knowledge to help people look and, more importantly, feel their best, enhancing their confidence. I transform skin issues like acne, rosacea, melasma, hyperpigmentation, and signs of premature aging into healthy skin using an inside-out, outside-in approach. Unlike some dermatologists and skin care professionals who rely on internal antibiotics or harsh chemical peels without addressing the root cause, I take time to understand my clients and their skin.
I help people with skin irregularities such as skin tags, milia, sebaceous hyperplasia, and even warts. I use holistic methods combined with advanced aesthetic and device treatments, including microneedling and laser skin rejuvenation. My clients appreciate the soothing and comforting space I create, nourishing the skin as well as the soul with comforting sounds, aromatherapy, and massage.
What makes you happy?
Happiness for me is rooted in connections with others, whether it’s spending time with my son and my partner, my family, or my wonderful community of friends. Love and laughter are my sanctuaries for peace and comfort.
