Our Mission
Mind Body Skin Care believes in the power of a ritualized skincare routine to improve mental health and emotional well-being. We believe that everyone deserves to take a moment for themselves, take a deep breath, and do what they need to feel good in their skin every single day.
About the Owner
Rikki Techner was born and raised in St. Louis. Upon graduating from Millikin University, she moved to Los Angeles to begin her work in film. During her 10-year career as a film and special effects makeup artist in Los Angeles, Rikki saw skin of all types and conditions. She can tell you without a doubt that makeup is no substitute for healthy, revitalized skin.
After several years of making her own creams and cleansers for personal use, Rikki enrolled in the School of Natural Skincare and began formulating professional products. With the encouragement of her close friends and family, she decided to begin selling these products, and Mind Body Skin Care was born. Upon moving back to St. Louis in 2020, she earned her esthetician’s license and opened her treatment room within the St. Louis Wellness Center in 2021.
Rikki lives in South St. Louis with her wife, Maggie, and their two dogs, Kaylee and Mako. She is passionate about vegetarian food, social justice, mindfulness and science fiction.
