About Me

I am Kim Candice, A conscious Licensed Esthetician for over 39 years.

My journey began back in 1980 working as a Medical Assistant to Dermatologists at the Orange Coast College Student Health Center. Having acne myself and working with college students who also had acne, here is where I first discovered my passion for skin and was also introduced to the subject of Holistic health. I was obsessed with learning about everything to do with a Holistic lifestyle. I became a vegetarian, studied aromatherapy, attended workshops on various subjects including how to balance your mental, physical, emotional & spiritual self. The acne I once had disappeared without taking a pill or using any topical medications.

In 1982 I became a Licensed Esthetician. In 1983 I had the opportunity to live abroad and work at 4 and 5 star spas and resorts in Thailand, Hawaii, St John , US Virgin Island, and Pebble Beach CA. Truly an amazing experience!

While working at the Inn at Spanish Bay and the Pebble Beach Resort I was introduced to the owners of the John Robert Powers, modeling, acting agency and finishing school. I was recruited to open the school as a skincare and makeup instructor and also as their leading esthetician. While working here, I found another passion and that was teaching! I was then hired to work as an educator for 2 recognized skincare/hair care lines.

In 1990, I opened "Skincare by the Sea" a mini day spa in Carmel where I performed aesthetic and makeup services, on the local residents, tourists, and celebrities. I am proud to say that when other surrounding resorts and hotels needed facials, and Bridal makeup for their guests, Skin Care by the Sea was the first to be called to go on location and care for their guests.

In 1998 I moved to Evergreen, CO where I opened "Skintique", a skincare, massage and clothing boutique. I lived at 7,200 feet above sea level where the climate is dry, dry and dry! With the challenge of keeping the skin feeling hydrated and achieving " the glow" this is when I started researching deeply into ingredients and found that most skincare lines are full of ingredients that are toxic and NOT healthy for us!

Today I have a skin care practice in Murrieta, CA and Orange Park Acres.

As a conscious esthetician, I have been on a quest to represent a conscious skincare line that I could use myself and share with my clients.

After using several different brands over the years, eventually in 2015, I am pleased to say that "Awaken Skin Care." was created

I am looking forward to sharing my passion for awakening your skin naturally with pure botanical ingredients that guarantees results.
