about me
Hello and welcome, My name is Maggie Sunshine Wallace, and I’d love to share a little about my approach to skincare. I hold a degree in Anthropology from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, with minors in Art History, Fine Art, and Archaeology, along with a certificate in Esthetics from the Aveda Institute of Minneapolis. I’ve been a licensed Esthetician for nearly a decade, with experience ranging from dermatology clinics to working with a wide variety of professional skincare lines. I was born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska. My own struggles with acne led me down a long path of trial and error with products that often did more harm than good, stripping my skin and disrupting its natural balance. It wasn’t until I learned from my aunt, an Esthetician in Colorado, that I began to understand a different approach. Through regular facials, awareness of internal factors like diet, and a more supportive skincare routine, I saw real change. That experience shaped everything I do today. Over time, my work in both clinical and holistic settings led me to a core belief: healthy skin is balanced skin. Many modern products disrupt that balance, relying heavily on fillers, preservatives, and harsh actives that can keep skin in a cycle of irritation. This is why it is deeply important to me to create my own fresh, in-house treatments. I handcraft masks, serums, and botanical distillates using organic, non-GMO, plant-based ingredients. Whenever possible, I highlight native Nebraska herbs and work with locally sourced plants and herbalists. There is something powerful about using ingredients that grow in the same environment we live in, ingredients that are fresh, active, and connected to the land around us. Each mask is made with intention, often in small batches, to preserve the vitality of the plants and ensure your skin is receiving ingredients in their most effective form. This approach allows me to move away from overly processed skincare and toward something more alive, supportive, and in tune with the skin’s natural function. At Sunshine Esthetics, my goal is simple: to help you feel confident and at home in your skin. I welcome all skin types and conditions, and every treatment is designed to restore balance, support your skin barrier, and highlight your natural beauty.
