Personalized, holistic facials in San Rafael
It's not just about what you see in the mirror, it's how you'll feel and who you'll become.
At Ritual Skincare, I bring together replenishing and corrective facial treatments, sculpting facial massage, and thoughtful home care in my private, appointment-only studio.
I’ll get to know your skin, listen to what’s changing, and shape your care around you with space to soften, settle, and feel cared for.

A little time to soften into being cared for. Each personalized facial brings together sculpting facial massage, botanical ingredients, and science-backed modalities chosen for your skin. It’s a restorative and corrective experience shaped around what your skin needs.

ProCell Microchanneling
Sometimes your skin is ready for more targeted support. If you’re curious about skin revision with Procell microchanneling, we’ll talk about what changes you’re hoping to see, whether it’s right for your skin, and set up a treatment plan for your skin's optimal success.
Curated Skincare
Your daily skin ritual is essential. Discover high-potency botanicals and science-backed formulas I’ve chosen with care. I'm here to help guide you to find what truly belongs on your shelf.
A personalized approach to skincare
Your beauty isn’t something to fix. It’s something to nurture.
There are seasons when your skin feels unfamiliar. What once worked no longer does. You find yourself wondering what to add, what to stop, or whether you’re doing enough.
I’m interested in how your skin is changing, what life feels like right now, and how you want to feel in your skin. Together, we’ll shape your care around that - guiding you on a clear, confident path toward beautiful skin, without guesswork or wasted time on products and treatments that don't serve your skin.
Just clarity, alignment and results.
My work honors the connection between your skin and your nervous system.
There’s space to quiet your mind, receive grounding touch, and time to settle into a calming treatment, alongside lymphatic and sculpting facial massage, LED light therapy, microcurrent, or Procell microchanneling when they’re right for you.
Your first facial at Ritual Skincare
You don’t need to know which facial to choose before we meet. Your 'First Client Experience' begins with a conversation about your skin, your current routine, and what you’re hoping for. From there, we'll customize your first facial together, create a plan and talk about care you can continue at home.
Come as you are
P.S. A little welcome from me to you: sign up and book your First Client Experience, and you’ll receive a complimentary product selected for your skin. Something to carry your ritual home.
Now I'm hooked and love taking care of my skin.
I'm that girl who went to bed with makeup on every night and never put product on my face until my mid 30s when I decided it was time to make a change.
Summer first helped me understand my skin, then described the type of treatments that would be the most effective, and lastly helped me pick out a collection of products that met my needs but didn't break the bank.
Now I'm hooked and love taking care of my skin. I'm forever grateful for Summer's experience and knowledge.

Hi, I’m Summer Murphy, your San Rafael esthetician
My relationship with skincare began long before Ritual, in my own experience with adult acne.
I know what it’s like to have your skin take up more space in your thoughts than you want it to. To keep searching for the thing that will help you feel like yourself again and to feel confident being seen.
That experience became a devotion to understanding skin, and to caring for the woman behind it.
Thoughtful skincare for your daily ritual
A few minutes at the mirror. The warmth of your hands. Something nourishing, chosen just for your skin.
These small moments matter, too.
Home care is how we continue the work we begin in the studio - with consistency, not a complicated collection of products. I’ve brought together botanical's and science backed formulas I believe in, and I’m here to help you choose based on your skin's needs.
If your shelf is full but you’re still unsure what to use, we can start there. There’s permission to simplify.
A private skincare studio in San Rafael
There’s something soothing about being cared for. The moment your shoulders soften, your breath deepens, and you remember you don’t have to hold everything.
When you settle into the treatment room, there’s nothing you need to accomplish. Allow yourself to receive the care you so often give.
This is the space I’ve created at Ritual Skincare in San Rafael. I’d love to welcome you into it.
