I recently talked with Raven Jackson of Iinspire Beauty about one of her services. “I call it ‘bootiful,’” said Raven as we laughed out loud. “A lot of people that get that service have issues with skin texture,” she said. To keep your backside smooth and ‘bootiful,’ Raven uses a treatment called microdermabrasion. “The same way sandpaper smooths wood, my treatments do the same for your skin. Microdermabrasion rejuvenates the skin,” said Raven. 

Raven steams, hydrates, and masks the area as well. It also comes with a massage “and people love it! It’s very relaxing,” said Raven. 

Raven Jackson graduated from esthetician school in 2019 and now she’s a well-known professional skin care specialist. “I help women love the skin they’re in. It’s very important to feel good about yourself,” she said. Raven is the proud owner of Iinspire Beauty in Winston-Salem. 

One thing a lot of men and women have in common is an extremely difficult time with our midsection. Iinpsire Beauty has a treatment for that as well. “Fupa Magic Tea is not a product that I make, but I believe in the product; I use it myself,” said Raven. According to the Winston-Salem native, the product helps you lose your belly fat, while keeping your hips and figure. “Most detox teas make you go to the bathroom a lot, but not Fupa Magic. 

People with health issues who go see their doctor after using Fupa Magic for 30 days, have great results overall, whether it be their weight or health,” said Raven. 

Raven created a turmeric mask, which she says helps with uneven skin tone. It evens your skin tone and it reduces blemishes. It’s preventative, so if you have any acne or breakouts, you place the mask on your face for 30 minutes to an hour, and then rinse it off,” said Raven. She created a body mask as well. “It helps men and women with those dark areas under their arms. It helps with your groin area if it’s dark, your neck, and it’s excellent for eczema and psoriasis,” said Raven. She added, “The turmeric cleanser/wash is great when paired with the inside beauty mask (turmeric mask). This product includes kojic acid, which makes it an excellent brightening agent for the skin.” 

When you visit Iinspire Beauty, the atmosphere is serene, peaceful and relaxing, said Raven. “If you come in feeling heavy, you walk out feeling light and amazing. The excellent experience that we provide is what keeps my clients coming back and spreading the word. It’s why my business is growing.” Raven provides a plan for her clients, which makes it easier for them to stay on track. 

Fellas, Iinspire Beauty has something for you, too – a customized facial with beard treatment that includes removal of ingrown hair. Another service Raven provides is ultrasound for your face. “The service stimulates blood flow, exfoliates dead skin cells, clears acne, and tightens facial area. It helps diminish wrinkles and fine lines, reduces under eye bags, fades age spots, redness, and scars,” notes Raven. 

Raven provides a service for women who love to keep their groin area well groomed. “I provide a vajacial and Brazilian bundle together. The Brazilian is a hair removal service that most women enjoy because it keeps bacteria down, and sweat, reduces hyperpigmentation, and ingrown hair. The service lasts up to two months. Everything I would do on the face, I would do in this area. A double cleanse, exfoliating the area, which is removing dead skin, cuts down on blackheads and ingrown hair. All of this renews the skin cells and makes the area fresh,” shared Raven. 

August 6, 2023, will be my 60th birthday, and of course I worry about looking older. So, I asked Raven about her anti-aging facial. “They’re like a mini-face lift. It helps with fine lines and wrinkles, producing collagen in the skin to keep it firm and looking youthful.” She added that she uses a mask that has Botox properties in it, which tightens the skin. “As it’s drying, you’ll feel your skin kind of pulsating,” said Raven. 

“I believe beauty starts within, so it’s important for me to help my clients feel comfortable with themselves.” Raven said her mother, Simply Marvalas, who is a well-known hair stylist, laid down the foundation for her to succeed. “She always taught me to take care of my skin. I’ve always seen both of my parents work hard and they pushed me to be great,” said Raven.
