Skincare with Altitude
Your Seasonal Skincare Guide for High-Altitude Living
Hi, I’m Stephanie - solo esthetician, natural product enthusiast, science-believer, and the hands behind Winnie & Ruth. I created this space not just for skin, but for you: your peace, your presence, and your permission to let go and be cared for.
After years in a fast-paced industry, the universe told me it was time to find something quieter, more grounded - something that felt more like me. Through esthetics, I’ve built a practice rooted in ritual, results, and real connection. And in a place like Tahoe, I’ve learned that our skin needs all three.
That’s where this new series comes in.
Skincare with Altitude isn’t just a clever name - it’s a mindset.
It’s about honoring the elevation we live in: dry mountain air, high UV exposure, seasonal extremes - while shifting your attitude around skincare. Less pressure. More presence. Less perfection. More nourishment.
This blog series is here to support you with seasonal guidance:
• What your skin actually needs right now
• Gentle rituals that work at high altitude
• Product pairings and plant-powered support
• Tips for radiant skin in real life - not just perfect conditions
Whether you’re here for facials, sugaring, or just a slower moment in your week, my goal is the same: to offer care that feels both elevated and down to earth.
