7 non-negotiable when you’re trying to achieve the healthiest skin;

Get enough sleep ✔️ During sleep, your body increases blood flow to the skin, rebuilds collagen, and repairs UV damage. When you miss or lack proper sleep, your cortisol levels rise, slowing that repair process and leading to dullness, puffiness, and premature lines.

Stay hydrated ✔️ Properly hydrated skin is plump, smooth, and resilient. It also absorbs skincare more effectively.
If you’re chronically dehydrated, no amount of moisturizer can compensate. You’ll see tightness, dullness, or fine dehydration lines.

Use actives intentionally ✔️ More isn’t always better; balance it. Make sure you’re listening to the signs your skin is showing you, and alternate actives in your skincare routine to see real results.

Consistency > perfection ✔️ Be patient with your skin. Healthy skin takes time, especially if you’re at the beginning of your journey. Staying consistent is the #1 way to see results in your skin.

Get regular facials ✔️ By sticking to a 4-6 week treatment plan, this ensures any new concerns can be addressed before any damage sets in, and persisting issues can be addressed regularly to ensure improvement. All while improving circulation, and getting some much needed you-time!

Eat your vitamins ✔️ Supplements are great, but incorporating whole, colourful foods into your diet is key 🔑 Your skin mirrors what’s happening inside your body. Foods rich in antioxidants, omega-3s, and vitamins (especially A, C, and E) keep your barrier strong and inflammation low

Manage stress (we know, it’s easier said than done) ✔️ Chronic stress is one of the most underrated causes of inflammation and breakouts. Cortisol spikes can increase oil production, slow healing, and deplete hydration.

We often wait for the big moments to celebrate, but what if we treated the small ones with the same energy?

Lately, I’ve been reminding myself to take “The 5-minute pause”. Not to scroll. Not to jump to next thing. But to sit and reflect on what the day had in store for me, no matter how small.

It’s too easy to skip over the tiny wins: getting out of bed when you really didn’t feel like it, choosing calm instead of reaction, drinking enough water, or sticking to that new skincare routine.

None of these things are “big” in the moment… but they build our energy, our consistency, our trust.

What I noticed was when I stopped, and let myself feel proud, even for just 5 minutes, changed how I showed up for everything else.

So take this as your reminder to start today! Tiny wins count more than you think ✨

Your 5-minute pause starts now. What’s one thing you’re proud of today? 💬👇🏻

This is your sign to celebrate the small wins 🏆

It’s easy to move on from one thing to the next without giving ourselves a pat on the back, let alone a break to look back over all of the hard work we’ve just put in.

It’s the same with skin care. It’s not one-size-fits-all and it’s certainly not instant gratification.

Good things take time, so stick to that skincare routine, that new workout you tried, or the new health journey you’re on. It will all be worth it!

So next time you’re feeling stressed about what’s to come, remember there is a past version of yourself that’s so proud to see how far you’ve come thus far 🌿

Nothing like a NuFace treatment to calm the nerves 🩵

Have you tried yet? At Elements, we love using NuFace as part of targeted facial treatments to help:

•Define the jawline and cheekbones
•Reduce the look of fine lines + puffiness
•Boost circulation and collagen production
•Deliver instant and long-term glow

It’s completely non-invasive, pain-free, and feels like a relaxing facial massage (with serious results).

Think of it as fitness for your facial muscles — keeping everything sculpted and supported over time.

✨ Great for all skin types, and especially loved by those noticing early signs of aging, dullness, or loss of firmness.

Curious if NuFACE is right for you? Add a NuFace treatment to any 60 min facial!

NuFace products and devices are also available for purchase at Elements!

Our Story

Nanaimo Elements first opened its doors in the spring of 2013.

After operating aesthetic salons for more than 30 years in Nanaimo, most recently in a home-based environment, I yearned for a greater vision. I envisioned a Holistic Centre where clients could access services and products representing the intersection of health and beauty. The very best in aesthetic services, product lines at the forefront of skincare technology with an organic focus, and access to complementary paramedical services such as Registered Massage Therapy – all of this in a beautiful upscale salon.

In a few short years, Elements has become the destination for health and beauty in Nanaimo. We are proud to be voted "Best of the City" in the Aesthetics, Massage and Spa categories. We are already one of the top distributors of our flagship skincare product lines: Laboratoire Dr Renaud and Eminence Organics. And we have recently started to carry the internationally renowned line, Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup. We have a wonderful team of service providers and support staff, and continue to offer only the very best in products and services.

I have been practicing as a professional aesthetician since 1981; a time when the industry was appropriately regulated and before the days of mass marketed skincare products promising miracles. Success in skincare requires patience and commitment – it is not instantaneous. 50% of a successful outcome relates to consistent use of appropriate and effective product (including sunscreen), and the balance to regular and ongoing attention from a professional aesthetician.
