Nikki & Norma Hayter
- Age 43 & 70
- Skin Type Sensitive, Porus
- Concern Moisture, Aging Gracefully
Nikki has sensitive, combination, and porous skin and likes her facial care routine to be simple, effective, and easy to maintain. Norma has normal to sensitive skin that can be porous. Norma's major skin concerns are maintaining moisture, minimizing the appearance of sun spots, pores, signs of aging, and puffiness around the eyes.
About Nikki & Norma
This mother/daughter duo has been a part of Eden since the very beginning and they have entrusted us with their skincare for nearly 18 years. They represent true family for this shop and community. Norma has two children and four grandchildren that are the center of her universe in her retired life. She loves fragrance and always has two candles burning at once in her home. Nikki is a wife, mother - Zora (12), Beatrice (8), and Judith (5) - and the Supervising Librarian at a large branch here in Des Moines. She is the most well-read woman we know and owns the best sneaker collection in Des Moines. Nikki has a great love of family time, baking, travel, and routine self-indulgences (she comes to Eden every single Saturday to buy goodies for herself).

Torri, 32
- Skin Type Normal & Easily Irritated
- Concern Preventative Care
Gentle cleansers and richer moisturizers are Torri's go-to. As her Eden Team encourages, she's started using chemical exfoliants in the past year, and gentle ones at that, sparingly - great to combat dullness. She's consistent with sun protection and at home facials with skincare devices to lift, sculpt, and allow for a deeper absorbtion of hydrating products.
