At Maria Skincare, I believe in treating the whole you—mind, body, and skin—with personalized, result-driven treatments designed to help you look and feel your best. My curated selection of premium skincare products, like Roccoco, ensures you’re experiencing the latest in innovative skincare
science, combined with natural, effective ingredients.

From rejuvenating facials that target fine lines, pigmentation, dark circles, and acne, to a relaxing facial, with a clavicle and neck massage that restores balance, I am dedicated to bringing you a deeply transformative spa experience.

I pride myself on offering more than just a treatment—I am here to guide you on a journey to healthier, glowing skin and a greater sense of well-being.

Unwind, rejuvenate, and reveal your best self.

Top three Roccoco products you can't live without?

Jasmine Eye Cream

Wow, an eye cream that you can put all over the eye area. It has amazing lifting and firming properties that are different from any other eye cream I have used. The under-eye darkness is brightened, which is something a lot of people have issues with.

Phyto LED Serum

A powerful serum that is combined with Celluma Light Therapy. The light activates the serum. This serum treats acne and scars
simultaneously. My clients are experiencing a smoother, clearer, and more luminous complexion with each use. Again, amazing results the first time you use it.

Symbio-12

I have mentioned to Jacine that she needs to make this for the body as well. I have nicknamed this "Liquid Gold" to my clients. The reason I love it is that you can see the results instantly. For myself, I have people saying how much of a glow my complexion exudes. The skin feels refreshed, hydrated, lifted, and youthful. The best part is my clients love it as well.

What led you to be a skin therapist?

I fell in love with skincare when I had my first facial at 15. I remember walking onto the street and saying to myself, "I want to do this when I’m older.” I want to make people feel how I feel right now. I want to be able to provide skincare services to everyone, not only to people with disposable income. I have been doing skincare for over 27 years.

Fast forward to 2016: I moved to Taunton, MA with not one client. I rented space from a hair salon and from there developed the clientele that I have today. I moved into my building that I bought in March 2023 with the help of my fiancé. As soon as I signed the P&S, I said, "So you will have all the renovations done in a week?" He had some choice words and said, "Ah, no." It took a little over two months, and I was in my brand-new space.
The moment you walk through the doors of Maria Skincare, you are transported to a place of tranquility with the scents of essential oils and the decor. It is my happy place, and I am so grateful.

How has using Roccoco changed the way you treat skin?

I was watching Facebook posts and seeing the results that other estheticians were achieving, and that made me curious. So I purchased some products for myself and saw immediate results. I thought, "I have to carry this line." At first, the price point was a deterrent, but now, with all the results I am getting, and all the results other estheticians are getting with their clients around the world, Roccoco Botanicals will be a staple at Maria Skincare. I have never been more sure of a product than with Roccoco, and my sales have been the highest ever. Thank you, Jacine, for creating such a results-driven skincare line.
