ästhetik in Gulfshore Life
ästhetik in the press
As featured in Gulfshore Life · 2026
A simpler, more personal approach to skincare
Southwest Florida magazine Gulfshore Life featured ästhetik twice in 2026: a July beauty story on how we help clients simplify their routines, and a September wellness feature on the people shaping Southwest Florida’s wellness scene. Both stories are linked below.
Both articles open on gulfshorelife.com.
Meet the esthetician
Alexis Pfropper
Alexis is a licensed esthetician and co-founder of ästhetik. She and her mother, Jen, moved to Punta Gorda in 2019 and opened ästhetik in 2020—first as a spa, later adding the skincare line Alexis develops from what she sees in the treatment room.
Both Gulfshore Life stories describe the same philosophy: start with a thorough consultation, build a plan around your skin and lifestyle, and keep your routine simple and consistent—often just a few well-chosen products instead of a crowded shelf.
“Healthy skin requires consistency, not chaos.”— Alexis Pfropper, in Gulfshore Life (July 2026)
01
Personalized from the first visit
First appointments begin with a consultation and end with a tailored plan for your skin, goals and lifestyle.
02
Fewer, better steps
We focus on consistent routines that support the skin barrier, not constantly changing products or layering every active.
03
Spa and skincare under one roof
What our team learns in the treatment room shapes the esthetician-developed ästhetik skincare collection.
The serum in the story
Liquid Gold Serum
Gulfshore Life highlighted our award-winning Liquid Gold Serum—the winner of the Face Serum category in CertClean’s 2025 Clean Beauty Awards.
Liquid Gold is a nourishing botanical facial oil serum designed to support the skin barrier, calm the look of dryness and leave skin looking soft and radiant. Its plant-based oil blend includes jojoba, rosehip, squalane, tamanu, pomegranate and prickly pear.
