Welcome to
Face The Fight
My journey into oncology esthetics began in a deeply personal way. When I was in esthetics school, my son’s grandmother stopped coming to see me during her cancer treatment because she wasn’t sure if facials were safe. That moment stayed with me. I thought, “There’s no way that relaxation and a moment of escape could be harmful.” Determined to find answers, I completed 80 hours of specialized oncology esthetics training—and in 2013, I opened Face the Fight.
Since then, cancer has touched my life even more. I’ve lost both my mother and grandmother to the disease, which has only strengthened my commitment to helping others. Today, I am proud to be Tucson’s only esthetician with oncology-specific training accredited by Oncology Training International, offering safe, customized care for those with sensitive or compromised skin.
Because Face the Fight is a nonprofit, 20% of every paid service goes into a fund that provides complimentary treatments for cancer patients. It’s my way of ensuring that those who need healing most can receive it without fear or financial burden. When you book a service, you’re not only caring for yourself—you’re also helping someone else face their fight.
Beyond oncology care, I combine holistic practices like sound healing, aromatherapy, temperature therapy, and feng shui with advanced treatments to restore balance to the body, mind, and spirit. With years of education, experience, and recognition in the field, my mission is simple: to create a safe space where people feel confident, comforted, and cared for—inside and out.
For me, beauty isn’t superficial—it’s soulful. And every ritual at Face the Fight is part of something bigger.
"There was so much attention to detail during this session."
I was completely enamored by the aroma. The soft touch took me deep into a meditative state during my facial. I felt so received during this session that I was eager to give it as a gift to my friend.

"So many of us struggle with more than what meets the mirror."
Fine lines, hormonal shifts, breakouts, and stubborn stress can leave skin looking tired and confidence running low. For cancer warriors, the journey is even tougher—sensitive skin, scarring, and emotional exhaustion often make safe care feel out of reach.
At Face the Fight, we see you. We know how hard it is to find treatments that are not only effective, but also safe, restorative, and designed for your whole self—body, mind, and spirit.
You might also be feeling this way...
“My Skin Feels Older Than I Do”
Fine lines, sagging, and dullness can make your reflection feel out of sync with your energy. No matter how many products you try, nothing seems to bring back that youthful glow—or your confidence.
“Stress Shows Up All Over My Face”
Breakouts, redness, and tension settle into your skin when life gets overwhelming. You’ve tried quick fixes, but they only mask the problem instead of calming both your skin and your spirit.
“I Can’t Find Safe Skincare During Treatment”
For cancer warriors, facials and products often feel off-limits. Sensitive, compromised skin reacts easily, leaving you worried that even gentle care could do more harm than good.
Your Glow Has a Safe Place to Return
At Face the Fight, we know your struggles go deeper than skin. That’s why every service is designed to restore balance—whether you’re battling fine lines, stress breakouts, or the sensitive challenges of cancer treatment. Our advanced facials and microneedling rituals revive your complexion, smooth texture, and bring back the youthful glow you’ve been missing.
When stress shows up on your skin, our sound bath facials and soothing, holistic techniques work to calm both your complexion and your spirit, helping you feel lighter and more at ease. And for cancer warriors, we provide safe, oncology-specific care with gentle, non-toxic products that nurture sensitive skin without irritation.
Here, your skin isn’t just treated—it’s honored. Your spirit isn’t just calmed—it’s uplifted. And your confidence? It’s ready to shine again.
Find Your Ritual. Feel Your Renewal.
Every service at Face the Fight is designed as a ritual—rooted in holistic care, infused with relaxation, and customized to meet your unique needs. From soothing facials to restorative body therapies to effortless waxing, you’ll find a treatment that not only enhances your appearance but restores your confidence and spirit.
Skin Rituals
Transform the way you care for your skin with facials that go beyond the surface.
From our Oncology Skin Treatment designed for sensitive, compromised skin, to quick pick-me-ups like the 30 Minute Express Facial, to full-body soul care with our 60- and 90-Minute Sound Bath Facials, every treatment is a blend of science and soul.
We also offer advanced services like Microneedling Elevated, Nano Infusion, Plasma Fibroblast, Skin Irregularity Removal, and SkinBetter Peels for results-driven renewal—plus add-ons like Eye and Lip Treatments and the blissful Afterglow Experience to keep your glow lasting longer.

Our body services are designed to nurture and restore your whole self.
The Sacred Ritual Body Wrap combines hydration, sound healing, and desert botanicals for deep renewal. The one-of-a-kind Pelvic Glow Facial provides holistic care for intimate skin, targeting ingrown hairs, hyperpigmentation, and breakouts with compassion and expertise.
And for extra care, our Specialized Foot Peel Add-On softens, smooths, and revitalizes tired feet—because every inch of you deserves attention.

Smooth, simple, and stress-free. From brows to Brazilians, our Waxing Services are judgment-free and performed with expertise for quick, comfortable results on all bodies. Whether it’s your first time or part of your regular routine, we make the experience relaxed, professional, and always about you.
"My skin actually looks much better with her facial than only microdermabrasion."
I saw Skylee’s facebook reel on the sound bath facial. I was so intrigued as I’ve only had very procedural experiences like lasers and microdermabrasion. I’ve never splurged on a self care experience like this and decided to book the 90 minute ritual. People...this is a must try!! My skin actually looks much better with her facial than only microdermabrasion. It was complete relaxation and helped reduce stress. I love that she really massages the scalp and face. Who knew that face muscles could hold so much tension? She also includes arm, hand, neck, and foot massage. It was the best experience I’ve had. I loved the different scents, sounds, and feels. You will also love her energy and demeanor. I’ll definitely book for another session in a few weeks, and you need to as well!

Along with oncology care, I specialize in holistic skincare, sound healing, corneotherapy, microneedling, and other advanced treatments that restore not just skin, but the whole self.
Outside the treatment room, I run a nine-room wellness collective, mentor future beauty professionals, and most importantly, I’m a mom to my amazing son, Anthony—my greatest motivation and adventure in life. With my partner Brant, our three cats, backyard hens, and our spunky pup Daisy Rae, life is full and beautiful. Everything I do—inside and outside the spa—is rooted in authenticity, empathy, and the belief that true care should heal body, mind, and spirit.

"If you're looking for a place to get a facial, I highly recommend Face The Fight."
I went there for the first time yesterday. Best facial ever! You become instantly relaxed the second you step into the studio. I did the soundbath facial and it was amazing. The soundbath made the facial just that much more relaxing and I could feel my soul recharging. Sklee was super knowledgeable about what we could and couldn't do for my skin during this time since I am doing chemo. Her passion for supporting cancer warriors makes me wish I could go everyday. Part of her proceeds go to providing FREE services for cancer warriors. I mean, how awesome is that
