Meet The Team
Kristyn
Smith
FOUNDER
Don’t be fooled by Kristyn Smith’s soft-spoken voice and Southern California mellowness as she has been a powerhouse in the wellness and beauty industry for over 20 years. Beginning her career in beauty in London, Kristyn’s focus quickly shifted from using make up as a bandaid to creating radiant skin.
Upon moving back to Los Angeles, Kristyn’s experience grew as she worked with plastic surgeons as a medical esthetician and developed her own innovative techniques that approach skincare through a holistic lens. From consulting and launching luxury wellness spaces to curating diverse skincare products, Kristyn’s enthusiasm for creating and maintaining healthy skin has only grown throughout her career.
Her latest venture, Practise, specializes in treatments that both renew and restore the skin from the inside/out. Kristyn begins every facial with a consultation that factors in her client’s lifestyle. She then customizes a bespoke facial and treatment plan which replenishes, detoxifies, and balances the skin long after leaving the studio.
