We're thrilled to join the Pacific Spa Alliance community as a vendor partner and to introduce Trêve at the Annual Networking Event in Napa Valley on June 22.
What excites us most is the opportunity to connect with spa and wellness professionals who understand that healthy skin is deeply connected to overall wellbeing. Their thoughtful, client-centered approach reflects the values that inspired Trêve from the beginning, and we're honored to be part of the community.
What led you to create Trêve?
Hi PSA Members, I'm Samantha, a master’s-trained functional nutritionist, professional certified coach, and founder of Trêve. After nearly two decades in clinical, spa, and wellness settings including One Medical, COMO Shambhala Estate in Bali, and Miraval in Tucson, I saw a clear pattern: as women enter midlife, their skin changes, often becoming drier, more sensitive, and less resilient, while the products they have relied on stop working.
I experienced this myself, which led me to coin the term The Skin Shift and create Trêve. The Trêve Method is a simple three-step routine designed to support skin through this transition with thoughtfully selected ingredients that prioritize skin health, resilience, and well-aging.
How is your approach to skin care unique?
Trêve is built on the belief that healthy skin is a reflection of overall health, especially during The Skin Shift, the hormonally driven changes of perimenopause and midlife. Created specifically for women navigating this transition, The Trêve Method is a streamlined three-step routine featuring the Vital Cleanser, Vital Peptide Essence, and Vital Facial Serum, each designed to support hydration, barrier function, collagen, and skin resilience. Together, these essentials help support evolving skin with fewer ingredients, higher standards, and no unnecessary complexity.
What drives your passion and keeps you motivated?
What motivates me most is helping women understand what’s happening to their skin during midlife and creating solutions that meet them where they are. These changes are real and biologically driven, and I believe skincare should evolve alongside the skin to properly support its needs at each stage.
I’m also passionate about advancing greater transparency and safety in the beauty industry through both formulation and advocacy for stronger cosmetic safety standards. Ultimately, I’m motivated by helping women embrace a well-aging approach to skin health that supports and strengthens the skin’s natural biology rather than trying to fix, fight, or correct it.
