Let’s

the Ice

I'm a licensed master esthetician and skin wellness expert who got into this work because I lived it. Watching my own skin shift during midlife, I realized how little guidance existed for women who wanted real answers — not just more products. So I built a practice around exactly that.

My Philosophy

Midlife skin deserves more than generic anti-aging advice. My approach focuses on:

  • Supporting the skin barrier during hormonal change

  • Addressing pigmentation thoughtfully in melanin-rich skin

  • Strengthening collagen through targeted, evidence-based ingredients

  • Simplifying routines that deliver visible results

True skin health is not about using more products — it’s about understanding your skin’s evolving needs and responding with intentional care and expertise.

About Janie Escamilla 

Founder | Licensed Esthetician | Skin Wellness Expert

Janie Escamilla is a licensed esthetician, skin wellness expert, and the founder of Janiegrl Skincare—a modern, virtual-forward skincare practice dedicated to helping women 40+ restore confidence in their skin through every stage of hormonal change.

A graduate of San Jose State University, Janie’s journey into esthetics was deeply personal. Inspired by early memories of self-care rituals shared with her grandmother, she followed a calling to create a career rooted in both beauty and wellness. She received her esthetics license from Cinta Aveda Institute and advanced her clinical training under Sandra Morrow, MD at Union Street Medspa in San Francisco.

Janie is also the former founder of Moonstone Skin and Body Care, where she built a trusted, results-driven practice known for its personalized approach and commitment to high-quality, skin-nourishing ingredients.

Today, Janie brings that same level of care and expertise into a more expansive vision—supporting women in perimenopause and menopause through customized skincare strategies, virtual consultations, and wellness-centered experiences. Her approach blends professional-grade treatments, education, and lifestyle guidance to address concerns such as aging, sensitivity, hormonal breakouts, and skin resilience.

In addition to working directly with clients, Janie partners with companies and organizations to deliver virtual spa and wellness experiences that support employee well-being—bringing self-care, skin education, and relaxation into the workplace.

Grounded in authenticity and guided by purpose, Janie’s mission is simple: to help women feel luminous, supported, and confidently restored in their skin at every stage of life.

When she’s not working with clients, Janie enjoys spending time with her husband Barry and their beloved dogs, Buddy, Frida, and Lola.

Here’s my forte

  • Hormonal skin changes — perimenopause, menopause, postmenopause

  • Melanin-rich skin — pigmentation, sensitivity, barrier health

  • Evidence-based skincare — ingredient-forward, no-fluff routines

  • Virtual consultations — accessible expert care, wherever you are
