Marlin Skin

Welcome to Marlin Skin

Hi I’m Marissa Linsey. I’ve been an esthetician for over 10 years with a love of all things skin care; ingredients, philosophy behind skin care and methods. Eastern and Western approaches to not only skin care but daily living and self care. I’m a huge advocate for self care and well being. I believe that you MUST take care of yourself before taking on the act of others. Whether that is emotional, physical or even spiritual. Some people might find that selfish, and that’s fine but you will thank yourself later.

(and I can guarantee, others will thank you too) 

So what even is Marlin Skin, what are we here today reading this blog? Well, that's a great question. Marlin Skin was created to serve the individual. Allowing everyone to be their most authentic self (including me) To educate you on how to live in the world of the unknowing, whether that's questions about skincare or coming together for a self care moment. Playing and learning ingredients and straight up getting weird and practical! I've always been one for the unknown and witchy vibes, so sprinkle me in tarot and crystals with some skin care and you have me good day!

I curated Marlin Skin for it to be as accessible as possible. If you have a common skincare question, you'll have an answer. If you want to gather as a group to learn something new, we will all learn together. If you want to have a monthly Full Moon ritual of crafts and tarot card pulls, LFG!

The funny thing about this world is that we go to school, take all the classes but no where do we learn about taking care of ourselves. And by that do I mean truly take care of ourselves. From Daily hygiene to relaxation. Sure our mothers/fathers, grandparents and/or guardians have their tricks or “well it worked for me, it has to work for you” but we have evolved into a world with TikTok and million ingredient lists on the back of a bottle. All Natural vs. Backed by Science. 

Listen, it’s even confusing and overwhelming to me too sometimes. But I love digging, doing research, and if I don't get my beauty rest, the world wouldn't hear the end of it. So that's why you have me.

This is a community where we can learn and have some fun while doing so!

Over the years, I have gotten a lot of shit for what I do for a living and it has never put a sour taste in my mouth. I love what I do, I love telling people I'm an esthetician. But TBH I'm an introvert at it's finest. I beleive that the treatment room is a sacred space for not only the work that I'm offering you but time for you to escape. As for school, I have a list of things I want to dabble into :) and No I don't TikTok, I barely even use IG on a personal level never mind on a business stand point. I know thats probably bad on my *tisk tisk* but I see it as more educational value than anything else.

As for opening my own business, hey I've tried going out on my own... twice thus far shooter (if you get that reference we can be best friends) and I wasn't feeling it. I know that sounds pretentious but I have big goals in mind for what I want to do for a business and renting a room that I can't make my own just isn't it.

So for now, I would love to host Pop-Up events with some Mini Services along with Workshops! I know, I know it’s not the same! But, it’s educational AND you’ll be supporting me along the way! 

If you want to join in on the fun, the journey and the ride head over to my website and subscribe to my newsletter to stay up to date on Blogs, Classes, Pop-Up Events, Workshops and more! 

There is a FREE Gua Sha PDF guide to get you going on my website to kickstart your selfcare journey!
