Brooklyn Herborium — Local services in New York

I first went to Brooklyn Herborium in February 2021. I was looking for a new place to get facials because my facialist in California was moving away. I stumbled upon the shop in my neighborhood and had no idea it would change my life. I had a facial/consultation with Emma, and ended up scrapping my (many!) expensive skin products, products I'd changed and struggled with over the last 15 years of my life (I'm 31) in exchange for the homemade, truly miracle products that they make at BH. What's so amazing about getting a facial at BH is not just the incredible, soothing, skin-changing experience (there are crystals and mist and all of it!), but the fact that they go through your whole schedule, eating habits, sleeping habits, anxiety, products, etc to give you a plan that takes into account your body as a whole, and the way that affects your skin. It's the healthcare and attention I've always longed for and has absolutely changed my life. After ditching my products and committing fully to Emma's plan for my skin, I have completely transformed. And I feel so much less tethered to products. I'm actually listening to my skin and body and adjusting as necessary. I only wash my face with water now (I was an obsessive face-washer with chemicals, etc) except for using their masks 1-2 times a week, and don't moisturize at night. In the morning, I moisturize with the oil-mist combo. (But they will craft a plan that's great for you). About 8 months later, my skin had become fully "healthy" so now we've graduated into helping heal old problems. They even make tea that helps with hormonal regulation and for breakouts all around your face. I truly could not recommend Brooklyn Herborium more. They have products not just for your face but for all elements of your life and every single one is lovely. Every person in there is helpful and kind. I go back for facials 2-3 times a year and every time it has a lasting effect. If you want to change your life and be less beholden to products, etc, or if you just want a soothing, holistic experience, book your appointment as soon...

I wish I had taken pre and post pictures because my skin looks and feels drastically better now than ever before. Prior to a year ago, I suffered from skin sensitivities, pimples if I touched my face, redness if I washed my face with a gentle cleanser, stress bumps and everlasting scars from skin irritations ages ago, even melasma. I went into Herborium not necessarily looking for a solution but to check it out bc it’s new in the neighborhood. The owner and staff blew my mind when they started talking about their approach to skin care. I decided to try it and it was well worth the money, the effort, the time and the whole kitchen sink. My skin is no longer irritated by slight environmental insults and looks amazing! My skin is soft, smooth and resilient while also retaining a balance I never knew possible. I love this place so much that I brought my tween over to get her first facial cleanser so that she grows up knowing what I didn’t know. She just said her...

I have been using the products for over a year now and my skin is calm and healthy. My skin routine has simplified and as someone with highly sensitive skin and a history of severe eczema, these products are a lifesaver. They are made with care and have the highest quality ingredients- they smell divine but do not over do it with the essential oils. The entire store has a quiet integrity - just sitting there waiting to be discovered for its top tier quality and deep understanding of the skin as a reflection of the whole body. Now, I must address the sound healing. I had a very impromptu session with the owner who is a kind and a brilliant healer. This session placed me into a deep parasympathetic state with moments of true magic. This store is the real deal and transcends any momentary beauty trend. I feel blessed to have access to such a...
