Hidden Gems: Meet Cindy Ravn of Cindy Ravn Skin and Health

Today we’d like to introduce you to Cindy Ravn.

Hi Cindy, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
In my 20’s, I worked in the retail beauty industry for an up and coming (at the time) line out of France, called Clarins. The educator’s name was Ronelle Ashby and she unlocked this amazing thirst for knowledge and I haven’t stopped learning since.

Since then, I earned a degree in Liberal Studies, an education and or certificate in Make-Up Artistry, HydraFacial, dermalplaning, facial massage, LED light therapy, chemical peels, microchanneling, nano needling, acne, lash lifting, Qi Beauty, Gua Sha, Yoga, Holistic Health, Food Science, Feng Shui, and many more, as well as my Advanced Practice Estheticians License and am a member of ASCP (Association of Skincare Professionals) and the prestigious NCEA (National Coalition of Estheticians Association).

I am a healthy aging specialist and I help (mostly) women own their age, whatever it is. I have been on a mission for about 8 years (since an adverse reaction to Botox) to stop using the term “anti-aging” and to find companies that are in line with my values that aging is a gift and if you are not aging you are, in fact, dead….not what we are going for at Cindy Ravn Skin and Health.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
No. Thank goodness! Every twist, turn, bump, pothole and occasional crash have been an opportunity to laugh and grow.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
I have had many roles in the health and beauty sector. I have worked in retail, on film and television, photography, sales, visual merchandising and education. It was an adverse reaction to Botox while working in the medspa industry that I sought to find a healthier approach to aging “gracefully”. I discovered HydraFacial and went on my own to bring this new approach to fruition. I discovered that I actually enjoyed aging and that I wanted to change the industry from one that has an unhealthy and unrealistic obsession with youth to one where there were a bunch of women walking around with their heads held high owning their age. I have continued to find treatments, products and brands that are in line with this vision. It has been amazing and the thrill of a lifetime to see the industry changing to meet this standard! I remain fully committed to helping women find their confidence and power in their skin and bodies.

How can people work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
Great ways to support my business is to talk me up, follow me on Social Media, and come in and experience one of my Bespoke treatments for themselves. Clients can support me by continuing to talk me up and referring their friends and family, coming in regularly, following at home guidance and trusting the process…effort over time is the way to success.
