SUZIE BECHTEL

Blending skin health with deeply relaxing, intentional facial experiences.

 

Hello, I’m Suz!

Licensed Esthetician and owner of Skincare By Suz in Ocean Pines, MD — just outside Ocean City.

My journey into the industry began as a makeup artist, where I developed an eye for balance, symmetry, and enhancing natural features. Over time, I realized what I loved most wasn’t the glam itself — it was helping people feel confident, calm, and cared for in their own skin.

That passion led me to esthetics, where I trained in advanced facial massage, skincare techniques, and brow shaping. After years of hands-on experience and continued education, I opened Skincare By Suz in 2021.

My approach blends intentional touch with results-driven skincare. I’m known for my signature lymphatic drainage techniques, sinus pressure work, and the relaxing flow that makes every appointment feel like an escape. Each facial is curated in the moment — no two are ever the same — so your treatment always reflects your skin’s needs and your energy that day.

Outside the treatment room, you’ll find me chatting away on my podcast “Just Quit Already”, editing content, relaxing by the beach or pool, spending time with my family, or unwinding with a reality TV show. I believe in balance, ritual, and creating experiences that support both skin health and true relaxation.

 
 
 
 

I believe in the power of touch.

My facials incorporate detailed lymphatic massage, sinus pressure work, and intentional movements designed to calm the nervous system and rejuvenate the skin. When clients come into my treatment room, my goal is to create a deeply relaxing, restorative experience while choosing the techniques and products their skin needs that day. Every service blends results-driven treatment with a peaceful, grounded flow — and I love educating clients about their skin so they feel supported long after they leave.

I also specialize in eyebrow styling. I believe the right brow shape and tone can lift the face, enhance your natural bone structure, and bring softness and balance to your overall look. My approach focuses on creating brows that feel flattering, effortless, and true to you.

 

I believe in customized routines that support your skin and lifestyle.

I work with clients experiencing everything from acne and sensitivity to pigmentation concerns, fine lines, and scarring. My focus is always on understanding your skin in the moment — how it’s behaving, what it’s asking for, and what will support it long-term.

Every facial is completely customized based on what I see during your skin analysis and what your goals are. I choose the techniques, exfoliants, and modalities that will benefit you most that day. After your treatment, I provide product recommendations and simple at-home guidance to help your skin stay balanced and supported between visits.
