Cameron Cooper Bio

Skin By Cam strives to provide natural skincare treatments that are effective and tailored specifically to your individual needs. My love for skincare is what lead me to become an esthetician, and I want to share my love for skincare with you!

People of color suffer from unique skin concerns that more often than none lead to hyperpigmentation of the skin and can be very difficult to reverse. Acne, ingrown hairs, razor bumps, sun damage, and so many other factors affect our skin on a daily basis. I want to work with you to build a specific skin care treatment plan designed for you to treat your specific needs. While I do provide facial treatments, it's truly an experience from start to finish. My goal is to educate you about your skin while providing a great service to address your skin concerns and help you reach your skin goals.
