Every protocol is built around TOMA Essential Skin Therapy, a clean professional line designed around results-driven actives and barrier support.

Why Farragut Square Skin Clients Choose Skin In The Game DC
Farragut Square sits at the center of one of the densest commercial corridors in the country, surrounded by law firms, lobbying offices, news bureaus, and the K Street corridor. The neighborhood has hotel spas, big-box chains, and quick service nail salons, but a single room studio with a dual-licensed esthetician using one curated product line is rare here. Most people working around the square book their facials elsewhere because they assume the convenient option is the chain in the basement of their building. The result is overpriced, rushed, and impersonal.
Skin In The Game DC is built for the opposite outcome. Same-day appointments are available, parking is inside the building (a real differentiator near Farragut, where street parking is metered and short), and the studio operates on a single client at a time model. The person you book with is the person performing your treatment. For regulars, the Glow Membership turns one facial a month into the lowest per-session price on the menu, plus member-only pricing on every other service. For anyone working through specific concerns, the comprehensive acne treatment guide walks through what to expect across multiple sessions.
Explore Farragut Square Before or After Your Facial
Farragut Square has been a designated public square since Pierre L'Enfant's original 1791 plan for Washington and was formally established as a park by Congress in 1871. Today it is a 1.5 acre green space at the intersection of Connecticut Avenue, K Street, I Street, and 17th Street, used daily by the office workers, lobbyists, and journalists who fill the surrounding blocks. Most clients turn an appointment at Skin In The Game DC into a half-day around the square: lunch from one of the food trucks that line K Street on weekdays, a walk over to the White House grounds, then back across the square to the spa.
The square itself centers on the bronze statue of Admiral David Glasgow Farragut, sculpted by Vinnie Ream Hoxie and dedicated in 1881 (read the full National Park Service overview of the cultural landscape). Two blocks east is McPherson Square, the sister park in the same L'Enfant patte d'oie pattern. A short walk south puts you at Lafayette Park and the north side of the White House grounds, and a few blocks west is the historic Renwick Gallery and the Decatur House (the Cultural Landscape Foundation documents how the square ties into the broader design of L'Enfant's federal city). On Fridays during warm weather, the square hosts the long-running Farragut Fridays lunchtime concert series.
Two Metro stations bracket the square: Farragut West on the Blue, Orange, and Silver lines on the south side, and Farragut North on the Red Line on the north side. That makes Farragut one of the most accessible neighborhoods in the city for clients arriving from anywhere on the system. Once you are at the square, Skin In The Game DC is a two minute walk: head south on 17th Street, then a half block west on I Street, and you are at the entrance to 1725.

Treatments are performed by a dual-licensed esthetician (DC and California) and stay within the scope of esthetic skincare: facials, microchanneling, facial waxing, and related modalities. Procedures requiring a physician's supervision such as injectables, laser resurfacing, dermal fillers, or chemical peels classified as medical are not part of the menu. For questions about whether a specific treatment is right for you, the facial spa FAQ page covers the full scope.
Every protocol uses TOMA Essential Skin Therapy, a clean professional line built around results-driven actives and barrier support. No SkinCeuticals, no Image, no Dermalogica, no rotating sample products. One curated line, used correctly, across every service on the menu.
