Gig Harbor harbors a beauty secret: the Institute of European and Naturopathic Skin Care (IENSC)

Like a safe haven in the midst of social and economic storms, Gig Harbor’s Institute of European and Naturopathic Skin Care invites men and women to cleanse our minds, bodies, and spirits of the toxic stresses that influence our lives.

IENSC offers all the aesthetic indulgences you desire in a day spa and the cutting-edge technology you expect from a medical skin care specialist or dermatologist.

Treatments at the institute are anything but clinical. Step in the door and you’ll find yourself in an environment carefully designed to soothe all five senses. Sumptuous draperies and tufted cushions, gentle music, botanic scents and tasteful product displays furnish the entry. Beyond are the discreetly dimmed private treatment rooms, where fragrant teacups and cushioned reclining chairs dressed in high quality linens and down comforters await clients eager for a truly healing experience.

“I believe in a holistic approach to skin care, emphasizing wellness and ‘healthy beauty,’ not just for the skin, but for the entire body,” says Mary Field, IENSC’s owner.
