A Studio Built for DC Skin

A Single-Room Studio Built on Skin Health

At Skin In The Game DC, you work directly with one dual-licensed esthetician, certified in the TOMA Essential Skin Therapy method and licensed in both DC and California.

Whether you're walking down from Dupont Circle on a lunch break or driving in from elsewhere in the city for a treatment series, the experience is consistent.

Our products and protocols are intentionally limited to TOMA, a clean professional line built around results-driven actives and proper skin-barrier support. The shelf at most spas is a sales catalog. The shelf here is a curated tool kit. Learn more about how we work.

Why Dupont Circle Clients Drive Here

Why Dupont Circle Skin Clients Choose Skin In The Game DC

Dupont Circle has plenty of medical spas, hair salons, and wellness studios, but a true one-on-one facial studio with a dual-licensed esthetician and a single curated product line is harder to find within walking distance. Most options in the area are larger, multi-room operations or medical practices focused on injectables. Our model is different on purpose: one room, one esthetician, one professional product line.

Same-day appointments are usually available, parking sits inside our building (no hunting for spots along Connecticut Avenue), and the person taking your booking is the same person performing your treatment. If you're considering a treatment series, our spa packages and Glow Membership make consistent monthly facials more affordable than booking sessions one at a time.

Around the Neighborhood

Explore Dupont Circle Before or After Your Facial

Most of our clients who come in from Dupont Circle turn the visit into a half-day. The neighborhood works well for that, with bookshops, cafes, galleries, and restaurants packed within a few blocks of the fountain.

A few of the local anchors worth a stop: The Phillips Collection, America's first museum of modern art, sits just off the circle on 21st Street. The Dupont Circle fountain and park itself is a National Park Service site, designed by the architect of the Lincoln Memorial. And for a longer afternoon, the Dupont Circle Main Streets directory covers most of the neighborhood's restaurants, bookstores, and shops.

The Dupont Circle commercial district is one of DC's most walkable, with the Dupont Circle Metro Station on the Red Line at Q Street and an easy connection south to Farragut on foot or by bus. That walkability is part of why our location works so well for clients in the area: you can pair a facial with brunch, a museum visit, or a bookstore stop without ever needing to drive.
