Marty Dean started Facial Fitness Hawaii in 1993 because she understood there was a need for a holistic approach to skin and body care. Constantly keeping up with the latest education, she is a living example of walking her talk on a daily basis.

In 1995, she added permanent cosmetics to her services and has become a lifetime member of the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals.

A few years ago she moved the business to a private spa atmosphere where people come to rejuvenate, renew, and heal spirit, mind, and body. She strives to contribute to people’s well-being and help them maintain their beauty on all levels: spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional.

Patsy Withers had travelled from Hilo to Kailua-Kona for years so Marty could treat her sun-damaged skin. In time, Patsy was inspired to attend an esthetics school in Hilo and receive hands-on training with Marty.

“I am honored that Marty allowed me to carry on the Facial Fitness name in Hilo. That says a great deal, and I don’t take that title lightly. I am mirroring Marty as best I can. I learned all my techniques from her. The spa is in a quiet, private spot downtown.”

Facial Fitness uses only the highest quality topical products with ingredients that are aroma-therapeutic, utilizing natural herbs and essential oils for professional treatments. The products have no parabens or other chemicals, so they work with the body to keep it balanced and restore its natural ability to heal itself.

    Women who have concerns about how their skin is aging.

  • Teens who have challenges with acne and prefer not to take pharmaceuticals for treatment.
  • Men who want grooming techniques for excess hair in their ears, brows, nose, and on backs and chests.

Itʻs very important to help people achieve results by analyzing their skin correctly and then following through with the appropriate technique for the individual client. And the client must also do their part. That is why skincare products are available for them for purchase in order to continue their skin care regimen at home.

Everyone needs to wear sunscreen and sun protection everyday, a minimum of SPF 30 between 9 am–4pm. When you’re driving, always put two coats of sunscreen on the left side of your body. The time to get started is now.

If you are suffering from a skin ailment or just feel you are not putting your best face forward, keep in mind Patsy’s philosophy: “Itʻs never too late to help your skin look its best.”
