Say yes to self care ✨

Did you know your hyaluronic acid serum could actually be drying you out and causing more inflammation if you’re using it incorrectly?

Hyaluronic acid is a humectant meaning it helps reduce loss of moisture as it can hold up to 1000x its weight in water. But what happens if you live in a dry climate or apply it directly to dry skin?

Because hyaluronic acid draws moisture from its surroundings, if there’s no moisture in the air or on your skin it will draw moisture from the deeper levels of your skin causing even more dryness. Thus leading to more dehydration and breakouts. You can prevent this from happening by applying your hyaluronic acid serum on damp skin and then sealing it all in with a moisturizer.

Thank you so much for the feature and for highlighting small business owners! 🤩

Book the facial 🙃

unfiltered skin is the best skin 💫

Men get facials too 🙃

The neck and décolleté are often forgotten and can be the first areas to show signs of aging.

Bring those products down y’all!

When’s the last time you indulged in some self-care?

How do you recharge?

Do you need a moment to yourself or do you recharge by being around others?

Either way, listen to your body when you need a moment. There’s nothing selfish about self care. 🤍

Can we get an applause for this beauty y’all?! So proud of this babe for keeping up with her homecare. Results take time, trust the process! ✨

you are powerful & you are capable of great things 🤍

It’s called beauty rest for a reason! 💤

Sleep is critical to every organ of the body, especially the skin. Did you know your skin cells regenerate faster at night?

Fight off free radial damage during the day with a vitamin c serum and sunscreen and save the retinol and repairing products for night. Moisture loss also increases at night so seal in all your products with a good night cream to help prevent TEWL (trans epidermal water loss).

Oh, and stop sleeping with makeup on (it ages your skin 7x faster). 🫠

Let me introduce you to your new favorite exfoliator - BIOCLEAR!

This product tackles skin texture like nothing I have seen before. It truly resurfaces for dramatically smoother, clearer and more luminous looking skin.

Bioclear addresses breakouts, texture, pore size, keratosis pilaris, redness, pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles…basically everything.

This serum (yes, the label says lotion but it’s actually a serum) is formulated with a powerful combination of glycolic, azelaic and salicylic acid. Little side note: it totally cleared up the Keratosis Pilaris on my cheeks in a matter of days.

It’s also 20% off until July 10th…which makes this gem $68!

What’s the deal with Biotin and acne?

We all know Biotin is great for strengthening hair, skin and nails but if you’re acne prone you’ll want to stay away from this vitamin.

Acne is linked to a genetic predisposition called “hyper-keratosis.” This basically means acne-prone people produce and hyper-shed an excessive amount of keratin (the protein our skin is made up of) which in turn leads to clogged pores. Acne sufferers also typically possess a higher amount of oil, so excess amounts of dead skin cells + oil causes a sticky plug inside your pores, thus starting the process of an acne lesion.

Here’s where Biotin comes into the picture. Biotin puts this process of hyper-kertosis into overdrive, by increasing the amount of keratin we produce.

Biotin is also known as vitamin B7 so if you take a large dosage of this, it can compete with and cause a deficiency in other essential B-vitamins like B5 which is crucial for skin health and helping to prevent acne.

If you’re acne prone and taking a collagen supplement also be sure to check how much Biotin is in it!

How long are you washing your face for?

Your skincare products aren’t going to do anything if they’re not applied to a clean canvas!

Top cleansing mistakes:

Not double cleansing! 🫧
I like to use an oil based cleanser to first remove my sunscreen/makeup and then go in with a gel based foamy cleanser to really clean the skin.

Not washing long enough! 🫧
Your cleanser needs time to work - don’t rush this step, you should be washing your face for at least 60 seconds.

Using the wrong cleanser for your skin type! 🫧
Your face shouldn’t feel tight after washing, if it does it’s likely your cleanser is too harsh for your skin type and is stripping the skin of it’s natural oils. It’s normal to switch your cleanser up for the seasons (ex. in the winter months try a creamy cleanser if your skin is feeling dry).

My current favorite cleansers:

Daily Cleasing Oil
C’esta Cleansing Gel
Oxygen Infusion Wash

In fact, it’s the opposite!

If your products are stinging/burning when you apply them to your skin, it’s likely your barrier is compromised. A compromised barrier usually is the result of over-exfoliating. You don’t need 4 products in your routine that are exfoliating - stick with one.

Also, we all love to to think that stripping the skin will help to heal breakouts but in-fact, when you strip the skin of all its natural oils the skin then produces MORE oil to overcompensate —> which leads to more breakouts.

Listen to your skin! If products are irritating you, skip the exfoliants and retinoids for a few days and focus on healing and hydrating. My favorite product to use when my skin needs a break from the acids is the cell protection balm from ✨.

This is what consistency looks like! This beauty signed up for the membership in January and hasn’t missed her monthly facial since.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 We did a mixture of peels, peels and one to achieve these results. Overall her texture has smoothed out, acne has diminished and pigmentation has lighten. So proud of this beauty!

Dairy: contains insulin-like-growth factors (IGFs) which stimulate more oil in the sebaceous glands and trigger more inflammation. This includes whey, so if you’re using a protein powder avoid whey and switch to a plant based one.

Refined Sugar: spikes in blood sugar can result in inflammation, increased sweat, oil and bacterial growth in your pores and hair follicles.

Peanuts: contain androgen (acne-triggering hormone) which increases sebum production.

Eggs: the protein albumin which is found in egg whites is very hard to digest which can clog up the lymphatic system leading to inflammation. They are also high in progesterone (acne-triggering hormone).

Soy: contains plant constitutes that are structurally similar to estrogen. If your estrogen levels are too high this will increase sebum production causing pores to become clogged.

Shellfish: high in iodine which can irritate the skin causing inflammation and clogged pores.
