The Spring Slough: Your Skin’s Seasonal Reset
There’s something about spring that invites renewal—closets get edited, routines get refreshed, and your skin? It’s ready for a reset, too.
After months of winter dryness, buildup, and dullness, your complexion can feel a little… tired. That’s where the spring slough comes in—a targeted approach to exfoliation that reveals brighter, smoother, more radiant skin just in time for the season ahead.
At Houppette, we think of this as your skin’s fresh start. And whether you’re easing in with a glow-boosting facial or going deeper with a clinical peel, there’s a perfect level of exfoliation for everyone.
Why Exfoliation Matters (Especially Right Now)
Throughout winter, dead skin cells accumulate on the surface, creating a barrier that can leave skin looking dull, uneven, and less responsive to your products.
Proper exfoliation:
Boosts radiance instantly
Improves texture and tone
Enhances product absorption
Helps minimize fine lines and congestion
In short—it’s the fastest way to look like you’ve been drinking green juice and getting 8 hours of sleep (even if you haven’t).
In-Spa Treatments: Your Glow, Elevated
If you’re ready to see real results, professional exfoliation is where the magic happens.
Dermaplaning
Think of this as the ultimate polish. A gentle, precise exfoliation that removes both dead skin and peach fuzz, leaving your skin impossibly smooth and luminous. Makeup glides on, skincare penetrates better, and your glow? Immediate.
Hydrafacial
A Houppette favorite for a reason. This multi-step treatment deeply cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates—all in one. It’s perfect if you want that “I just had a facial” glow without downtime.
For even more impact, consider upgrading your treatment with Dermabuilder to help smooth the appearance of fine lines and enhance skin elasticity, or opt for our Alastin Hydrafacial for an extra dose of results. This advanced upgrade delivers Alastin’s patented Tri-Hex Technology®, designed to support cellular renewal while stimulating collagen and elastin for firmer, healthier-looking skin.
Think of it as your glow—supercharged.
SkinCeuticals Professional Peels
For those ready to take their results to the next level, SkinCeuticals professional peels deliver targeted, corrective exfoliation with visible payoff. These treatments are expertly formulated with advanced acid blends—like glycolic, lactic, and salicylic—to resurface the skin, accelerate cellular turnover, and address concerns such as fine lines, discoloration, congestion, and uneven texture.
What sets these peels apart is their customizable nature. Your esthetician will tailor the strength and formulation to your skin’s current condition and long-term goals, ensuring results without unnecessary downtime.
Think brighter tone, smoother texture, and that unmistakable clarity that comes from truly refreshed skin. With a series, results only build—making this a powerful option for anyone looking to refine, correct, and glow on a deeper level.
Medspa Peels with Mint + Needle
For those seeking a more intensive transformation, our partners at Mint + Needle offer medical-grade peels that work on a deeper cellular level. These treatments are ideal for correcting more advanced concerns and delivering dramatic, long-term results.

At-Home Exfoliation: Your Maintenance Ritual
Between appointments, the right at-home exfoliation keeps your glow going strong.
Here are our curated essentials:
