CRISTIEN MARCOTTE

I’m Cristien (pronounced Christine), the Therapist behind SKINCRVFT. I’m originally from Texas, but have called Chicago home for the past 14 years. After having two beautiful children, I returned to school for both my Esthetics and Massage Therapy licenses. I consider myself a forever student with a curios mind. There’s always more to learn and I want to know it all.

I have fallen deeply in love with my craft, the art of facials, the science of ingredients, and changing lives. I strive to build lasting relationships with my guests. My hope is that they leave the studio with a calm mind, a greater understanding of their skin, and a renewed sense of self-love.
