Skincare is truly the bread and butter of beauty. Without good skin, our general health and well-being (and not to mention makeup application) is amiss.<\/p>\n

Ever in the quest for clear, radiant skin, I recently had the pleasure of visiting Amber Zoellner<\/strong> at Sage Organic Skincare<\/a><\/strong> in Phoenix for a rejuvenating facial that not only left my skin squeaky clean, but also infused it with completely natural ingredients (literally: Amber mixed a super moisturizing mask with a base of honey and pure goat\u2019s milk yogurt bedside. You can\u2019t get more natural than that!). A welcoming and stress-free vibe in a boutique spa environment makes the experience at Sage that much more\u00a0special.<\/p>\n

Read on to hear firsthand from Amber about her passion for skincare and the organic products she covets at Sage Organic Skincare.<\/p>\n

AFM:<\/strong> Please tell us your story \u2013 a little bit about you and how you got started in skincare<\/em><\/p>\n

Amber:<\/strong> I took a round-about way getting into skincare. It initially started with interest in the health and wellness field. After graduating college with a business and mass communications degree, I dove into beauty school. Beauty school was an artistic outlet for me and I could put my feelers out for what I could pursue or create in the future. I completed the entire cosmetology program but I mostly longed for the skincare side of things. Skin health is directly correlated with overall health; I started to take interest in this connection but shoved it in the back of my mind\u2026<\/p>\n

Discouraged in the cosmetology field, I submerged myself into dentistry. I was a dental assistant for two years with intentions of getting back into school to become a dental hygienist. Dentistry is actually both artistic and health related, though one would not think of such things. I enjoyed it, but I didn\u2019t realize how many people have dental anxiety! I always loved going to the dentist, but the majority of patients aren\u2019t super excited about it. I appreciated working with patients so closely and instilling trust in them. I connected with people at a different level and have been able to take that skill with me for my future & current endeavors. I was also given the opportunity to learn a lot about general health with this career. However, I didn\u2019t like the fact that most people dreaded coming to see me, and I also concluded that I didn\u2019t want to work for a doctor. My soul wasn\u2019t being fed properly. I reverted back into the beauty field, worked for a couple salon-spas and any time off that I had I was studying, researching and creating my business. I realized I long for nurturing and pampering and I like to see healthy, positive transformation.<\/p>\n
