Hi, I’m Arlene Mortley — Licensed Aesthetician and founder of Arlene Antoinette Skincare in Brooklyn, NY.
I specialize in personalized, results-driven skincare treatments and created my own line of medical-grade skincare products designed to elevate and restore skin health.
My passion for skincare started early. I can still picture my mom at her dressing table in the Blue Mountains of St. Andrew, Jamaica — the heart of coffee country — carefully applying her “special cream” each night. In my family, radiant, healthy skin was more than beauty; it was tradition. Those moments sparked a lifelong calling.
Today, I hold a diploma in Aesthetics from The Christine Valmy International School and am a Certified Medical Aesthetician with advanced expertise in treating challenges often faced by melanin-rich skin — like hyperpigmentation, acne, melasma, and uneven tone. Although I treat all skin tones and skin types, early in my training, I noticed how few safe, advanced resurfacing options existed for deeper skin tones, especially those that harness heat and light. That realization inspired me to specialize in science-driven treatments for every complexion.
One of the most meaningful parts of my work is supporting individuals experiencing the appearance-related side effects of cancer treatments. As an Oncology-Trained professional through Oncology Esthetics™ (Touch for Cancer), I developed The Gentle Resilience Method™ — a signature approach that blends compassion with advanced science to soothe, restore, and support skin that has been compromised by chemotherapy, radiation, and other cancer therapies. Recently, I was honored to partner with Maimonides Cancer Center to provide beauty and skincare sessions for their patients.
I also stay committed to growth through continuing education — from medical conferences and advanced training to industry trade shows — ensuring I bring the latest science and innovation to my clients. My clientele is as diverse as New York City itself, and my goal is always the same: to provide results-oriented, medical-grade care in a spa-like setting where everyone feels seen, cared for, and renewed.”
At Arlene Antoinette Skincare, I believe: “You Have the Right to Remain Beautiful™.”
And with every product I create, you’ll also find my proud signature — Dat Jamaican Gal™ — a tribute to my roots and the heritage that inspires everything I do.
