Over the past twenty-two years, my interest in, and passion for learning how the body works has fascinated me, not only personally, but also professionally.

I became a Massage Therapist in 1986, in order to help others feel better, and realized from the start that there were very few products to help take care of the skin on the market. Over the years I became even more interested and intrigued with other body treatments and skin care.

As a licensed massage therapist I saw a lot of painful and heart-breaking skin diseases and disorders, so I expanded my search for answers in the library, and attended many different training classes and seminars to learn more about skin care. I wanted to share the results of my inquiry with my clients in order to help them.

Most of the products were in lotion form, and I did not like the feeling it left on the skin. After investigating different brands, with unsatisfactory results, I decided to start blending my own oils to give my clients better results and more satisfaction.

My blended oils were received positively by my clients, with reports that the oils worked and felt much better on their skin than lotion.

After a short period of time I realized oils would be the main stay of my skin care because they offered more positive results. My clients would leave their treatments much happier and satisfied because their skin was healthier.

My interest in skincare became my full time focus in 2001. I was constantly looking at peoples' skin and wondered what type of products they were using. I wanted to give them the information and treatment they needed for healthier, more beautiful skin.

My research became a passion for my clients as well as myself. I wanted to only use products that were organic and natural to the body. I wanted to remove artificial fragrance and synthetic colors out of my products.

I had worked with other Skin Care lines during my career, such as Skinceuticals, Skin Medica, Dermalogica, Glymed, Dr. Murad, and Eminence. I felt it was time to go back to basics and create my own line. So, I created and co-founded L'Essentiel Organic Oils Skincare.

My interest in the skin care industry became my new passion, so I went back to school to become a Licensed Master Aesthetician; and later, an Instructor for the Paul Mitchell Skin Academy.

Working with other professionals who are interested in taking care of the human body is truly rewarding and uplifting.

My mission is, "Educate to Motivate" and personalize the treatments that our clients seek when they come to our clinic at Optimal Aesthetics.

Our goal is to educate our clients about the skin care products that will work for them on an individual basis, and to treat their skin as it needs to be treated. Due to time constraints in other offices this area is sometimes neglected.

My consultations are affordable and time sensitive. To make an appointment to discuss your personal needs please call: 801-864-0601.

Sincerely,

Jennifer C. Gray

Master Aesthetician
