I had my first-ever facial at 34, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! 🥰 As someone who practically lives at the gym, I’ve never taken skincare too seriously—usually it’s a splash of water, a little moisturizer, and calling it a day 😂 My skin is also fair and easily irritated, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Susie answered every single question I had before I even came in so I knew what to expect. She took the time to explain which products would be good for me to start with without overwhelming me or trying to oversell me. I really appreciated how she made everything feel simple and manageable! The facial itself was SO relaxing. I came in with a headache, and by the time she was done, I felt 100% better. The neck, face, and head massage had me feeling like a brand-new person! I left with glowing skin and a new appreciation for all she does, so much more than skin care! She even checked in with me the next day because she knew my skin was sensitive, which was so thoughtful. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the whole experience. She may have given me my first facial, but it definitely won’t be my last! 🤍Posted on Google![]()

Beyond exceptional, the experience at Skin Ritualist is on a completely different dimension! Susie is truly a healer. The way her hands sculpt your face, moving with such expert flow and intuition is like a musician playing an instrument. It’s an experience that simply cannot be explained, it has to be felt! I have never experienced or seen anything like it. Susie is extraordinarily knowledgeable, not only about the nuances of the skin, but also about the ways internal health can influence its condition and overall radiance. Her expertise is matched by a genuine passion for her craft and a remarkable ability to make you feel completely cared for in helping you reach your goals. The atmosphere at Skin Ritualist is welcoming, serene, and professional, creating the perfect environment to relax. This is so much more than a skincare treatment. It is an art, a ritual, and a truly transformative experience. If you have the opportunity to experience Susie’s work, do yourself a favor and book a session. You will understand exactly what I mean.Posted on Google![]()

Susie is absolutely amazing! She takes the time to explain each treatment and creates an effective plan based on your skin’s specific needs.

Amazing. Incredible. Show stopping. If you are going to spend the money to get a facial definitely get it done with Susie and use all of her product recommendations.This is worth the investment. I have been going to her every 2-3 months for about two years now and my skin has completely transformed. On top of the incredible skin benefits and transformation, she provides a calming spa environment and I always feel relaxed and refreshed after.Posted on Google![]()

I’ve been seeing Susie for almost 4 months now, and my facial appointment is always my favorite day of the month! I get the acne correction facial and have seen such an improvement with my overall breakouts and inflammation with my consistent monthly facials and using the home care she recommends. Susie is a kind, informative, helpful and proactive esthetician, I highly recommend you book with her!Posted on Google![]()

As a fellow skin professional there’s hardly anyone else I trust with my skin and very few people I’d recommend other than myself to clients. Susie has been and will always be one of my trusted recommendations. The before and afters of her clients speak for themselves but her haaaannndddds!!! Let me sing their praises, there are very few people properly performing massage and creating the lasting glow that comes from real lymphatic drainage techniques. Listen….run, don’t walk your skin will thank you!! Literally thank you Susie <3Posted on Google![]()

Susie has been so wonderful and helped my skin so much. She’s knowledgeable and provides the perfect products for your skin. I came to her with mild acne issues and post acne marks and after three sessions, combined with the products she recommended, I have seen a big difference in my skin. My skin looks so much better now thanks to her. I can’t recommend her enough!Posted on Google![]()

Pick a licensed esthetician who does an intake, explains the plan, and keeps sanitation front and center. Look for reviews that mention consistent results and clear guidance, not only “relaxing.” Skin Ritualist (Susie Shemtov) focuses on customized facials based on your skin goals.
Most customization is based on your skin behavior and where you hold tension or puffiness, not your bone structure. Your esthetician can adjust massage techniques, product choices, and targeted steps like lymphatic drainage or buccal work.
It usually starts with a consult, then a thorough cleanse, exfoliation, and carefully chosen steps like light extractions, a mask, and finishing serums. At Skin Ritualist, the Signature Facial can include options like enzyme or brightening peel, oxygen infusion, and LED, based on your skin that day.
In Fort Lauderdale, many clinics price microneedling in the mid-hundreds per session, and it can rise with add-ons and larger treatment areas. Skin Ritualist lists microneedling starting at $400+, and some local clinics start around $500.
There is no “right age.” People start when texture, visible pores, acne marks, or early lines start bothering them, and when they are a good candidate. A quick consult helps match the timing to your skin and routine.
They do different jobs. Botox is a prescription injectable for expression lines and must be done by a medical provider, while microneedling is often chosen for texture and overall tone. Some people use both, spaced out with guidance.
Results vary by skin and aftercare, and most people keep results going with a series plus maintenance visits. In sunny, humid South Florida, sun protection matters even more during healing, so SPF habits play a big role.
Serum infusions focus on delivering ingredients for hydration, glow, and support after the skin is prepped. Chemical peels are designed to exfoliate and speed up skin turnover, and they can range from no-downtime to deeper options. Skin Ritualist offers both serum infusion-style treatments and custom peels.
Dermaplaning commonly costs around $60–$150 in many markets, and some local providers list it at around $150. Price changes based on whether it’s standalone or bundled with a peel or mask.
Keep it gentle for a day or two: mild cleanser, simple moisturizer, and no scrubs or strong acids/retinoids. Wear broad-spectrum SPF daily, especially in Fort Lauderdale’s sun.
Dermaplaning can make skin look smoother by removing surface buildup and “peach fuzz,” so fine texture can look more even. It won’t replace injectables or deeper resurfacing for etched-in lines, but it can boost glow and makeup laydown.
Common side effects include temporary redness, sensitivity, and minor irritation. If the skin is reactive, it can feel a bit tight or look flushed for a short period, so aftercare matters.
