Beauty therapist and founder of Facealing, Sofia blends emotions, energy, and intuitive gestures to invite us to rediscover inner beauty. A gentle and profound approach that makes both body and soul shine.
Sofia, can you introduce yourself in a few words?
Born and raised in the provinces of northern France, at the age of 27, I founded Facealing, a facial massage method that connects the body, emotions, and energy. More than a treatment, it's an experience of reconnecting with oneself.
As a beauty therapist, I've always seen the "beauty" in the details, the simple gestures, the true moments. The skin and the face tell a story: that of our emotions, our experiences, our inner light.
Passionate about well-being and the meaning of care, my mission is to care for others with gentleness, attentiveness, and presence. For me, beauty is not an ideal to be achieved, but a vibration that emerges from within.
What is the core of your business today?
The core of my practice today is creating spaces for reconnecting with oneself through the face. With Facealing, I help people release the physical, emotional, and energetic tensions embedded in their features. My approach combines touch, subtle listening, and intuition to reveal a deeper, more vibrant beauty.
Beyond care, it's an invitation to meet ourselves differently, to love ourselves a little more, from the inside out. What drives me every day is taking care of the human being in their entirety, with gentleness, creativity, and presence.
What nourishes you on a daily basis?
What fuels me every day is seeing people shine, transform, and rediscover their inner light. When someone leaves a treatment with a soothed face and clearer eyes, I feel like I'm in the right place—that's what makes me tick.
I am also deeply nourished by the beauty of the world: traveling, discovering other cultures, exploring art in all its forms... And then, the simple joys: connecting with nature, feeling the wind, walking in the mountains—a place to which I am very attached. It is there, in these moments of anchoring and contemplation, that I find my balance and inspiration.
How did your connection to holistic beauty begin?
My connection to holistic beauty began at a very early age, thanks to my grandmother. She instilled in me the idea that true beauty goes far beyond physical or societal criteria. For me, beauty is a presence, an energy, a way of being in the world.
She taught me to see beauty in simple gestures, in a look, an emotion, an intention. It is this deep, sensitive, and human vision of beauty that naturally guided me toward a holistic approach, where body, soul, and spirit are intimately linked.
What is your definition of beauty and well-being?
For me, beauty and well-being are an energy, an inner radiance. A deep alignment between body, heart, and soul.
It is not a question of appearance or standards, but a sincere vibration that manifests itself in a peaceful look, an emotion, a full presence... where one does not seek to be perfect, but simply to be oneself.
What attracted you to Puréality?
What appeals to me about Puréality is this alliance between an ancestral family heritage, notably with adaptogenic plants like rhodiola, and an avant-garde approach thanks to biotechnology. This combination respects the skin while innovating, exactly what I look for in a minimalist and effective routine. I call this approach AAA — Ancestral, Adapto, Avant-garde.
What are your beauty essentials (in & out)?
My in & out essentials? I have my morning and evening routines, which are precious to me, so I'm going to stick to the essentials!
On the "in" side, I rely on meditation, conscious breathing and lots of water to nourish my body and mind. I also drink matcha, my favorite is the one from drink life , enriched with adaptogenic plants and medicinal mushrooms, which I appreciate to support the glow of my skin.
On the "out" side, my minimalist skincare routine with Puréality suits me perfectly. I practice self-massage and gua sha daily. I really like the Rebalancing Essence and its Purifying Booster, which I apply several times to bare skin throughout the day to keep my skin healthy, protected, and radiant.
