Rosie Dunaway

At the Wild Beauty Apothecary and Facial Studio in verdant North Carolina, I offer exclusive luxury organic facials to my cherished clientele. Decades of intensive training has refined my expertise in caring for the skin while nurturing the whole being. I marry my thorough knowledge of bio-physiology with a mastery of active ingredients to curate the perfect treatment for my unique and diverse clients. My signature facials are centered in the art of touch. Each treatment is based on a deep appreciation of tender connection to transform the skin. Using an orchestration of rhythmical brush and hand strokes, Gua Sha, facial cupping and facial massage, these deluxe treatments stimulate the flow of lymph to filter impurities, stimulate collagen and support the immune system to encourage skin renewal. Clients feel enlivened, regenerated and nourished.

My first real job~! I used my mother as my only reference. I quickly became floor supervisor and Lead Makeup Artist and Skincare Consultant.

This is where my love affair began. My beautiful mother started her journey as a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant in the 80's when I was 9 years old. She would bring me along to her "skin care house parties" where I would give makeovers (Oh the 80's~just imagine how fabulous!). I was mesmerized watching her educate her clients about the full range of skin care and makeup products, making sales while building relationships. I helped manage product inventory, ordering and purchasing budget. She is my Superhero, and because of her, Skin Care became my Superpower.
