Morgan, Esthetician & LMT at Altered Images Color Salon and Day Spa

One of my favorite things to do as an Esthetician, EXTRACTIONS 😍😍😍

My client came in to see me with several areas of congestion, mainly around the orbital rim and on the temple.

I chose to do our signature European facial on him, utilizing steam, charcoal and malachite exfoliant, and our Charcoal & Black Seed Pro Desincrustation Gel to soften the debris in the pores. After extractions, I continued the facial with a mixture of the AHA fruit pulp treatment blended with the Paprika treatment to get the blood flowing and to help plump the skin up. To finish the service, I used the raspberry pore refining masque, charcoal & black seed oil to balance excess oil production, marine peptide eye cream, bakuchiol & niacinimide moisturizer, and a layer of radiant protection SPF fluid.

I explained the importance of home care and educated my client on the products that are best suited for him and his unique skincare journey, as well as scheduling his next facial to make sure he stays on the right track.

I have a steal of a deal this coming Monday, message me to book your spot! Very limited availability.

🌞✨ Summer is here! Time to soak up the sun, but don’t forget to show your skin some love. Here are some essential summer skincare tips to keep your skin healthy and radiant all season long! 🌟

1. **Use SPF Daily** 🧴☀️: Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, even on cloudy days. Reapply every 2 hours, especially after swimming or sweating.

2. **Reduce Sun Exposure** 🕶️🌳: Seek shade during peak sun hours (10 AM - 4 PM). Wear protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses to shield your skin from harmful UV rays.

3. **Stay Hydrated** 💧🍉: Hydrate from the inside out by drinking plenty of water and eating water-rich fruits and veggies. This helps maintain your skin’s moisture and glow.

4. **Lighten Up Your Routine** 🍃✨: Switch to lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizers and serums. Heavy products can clog pores and cause breakouts in the summer heat.

5. **Soothe and Cool** ❄️🍃: Use aloe vera gel or cooling face mists to calm sun-exposed skin. Keep these products in the fridge for an extra refreshing effect.

Remember, healthy skin is always in! Enjoy the sunshine responsibly and keep your skin radiant and protected. 🌞💛

Good morning! I have a small favor that would mean the absolute world to me!

If you have received a service from me and truly enjoyed yourself, could you take a minute and leave a Google review on our business page? It doesn't have to be super long, but if you could just include my name in your review, I would greatly appreciate it! This will help me out a lot, and I'm hoping it will generate new business for me as well 🥰🥰

Thank you in advance ☺️

Hello everyone! I thought it was about time to make this post.

I am 33 weeks pregnant today, which means I am only 7 short weeks away from my sweet boys' arrival, and that's if he makes it to his due date. He's due June 24th. 😅

Once he's here, I will be off for 6 weeks for maternity leave, which puts me back to work in the middle of August. Right now I am still working full time as long as my Dr allows, and when I return I will be coming back part time until I adjust to the mom/work balance, as this is my first baby.

I am currently booked out all the way to June 20th as of right now, but I do still have openings for appointments between now and then, but they are limited as spaces are filling FAST. If you've been thinking about booking, I'd highly recommend reaching out and getting a spot on my books before they're full. My Saturday appointments are the most limited, as most of the availability is already scheduled with other appointments. If you need a Saturday, please message me ASAP.

My books for when I return are also open now, so if you'd like to reserve a spot for August or September I'd recommend booking now too as those dates are filling as well 🥰 my schedule for when I return to work will be Mondays from 12-8, Thursdays from 9-5, & every other Saturday from 9-4.

I'm looking forward to this new journey that I am about to embark on, and I am excited to still be able to service all of you as well!

🌞🛡️ Your Ultimate SPF Guide: Mineral vs. Chemical 🛡️🌞

Choosing sunscreen can be tricky, but I've got the scoop to help you decide! 🕵️‍♀️🔍

🪨 **Mineral SPF** (a.k.a. Physical Sunscreen)
- Contains zinc oxide & titanium dioxide ⛏️
- Acts like tiny mirrors, reflecting UV rays away 🪞
- Gentle & calming for sensitive skin 😌
- Instant protection as soon as you slather it on 🚦
- No photo-degradation, meaning longer-lasting under the sun 🌅
- Less likely to leave a white cast with modern formulas ✨
- Better for our ocean life, especially corals! 🐚🌊

🧪 **Chemical SPF**
- Made with compounds like oxybenzone, avobenzone, octisalate, and octocrylene 🧴
- Works by absorbing UV rays, converting them into heat (which could cause redness for some skin types) 🔥
- Needs about 20 mins to sink in and start working ⌛
- Invisible finish, no ghostly look 👻
- Heads up: Some ingredients could disrupt marine ecosystems 🐙⚠️

While chemical sunscreens are super invisible, they can heat things up and cause redness 🚨, especially if you have skin that's prone to irritation. Mineral sunscreens are the gentle knights in shining armor for your skin, reflecting harm away without causing heat buildup! 🏰💖

So if you're looking for skin-soothing, eco-friendly sun care, mineral might just be your best bet! 🌿🏞️

Remember: Always go for broad-spectrum and reapply to keep your skin happy and protected all day long! ☀️🧴

Hey there, skincare fam! 🌿✨ Let's take a deep dive into some products today! Do you ever wonder what the deal is with toners and essences? Let's dive in!

Think of a toner or essence as the unsung hero in your skincare routine. After you cleanse your face, your skin's pH might be a bit out of whack. That's where a toner comes into play. 🌟 Eminence toners are like a big drink of water for your skin, helping to balance that pH and getting it ready to soak up all the goodness from your serums and moisturizers. It's like setting the perfect stage for your skin's performance each day!

Now, what about essences? They're similar, but pack a punch with extra hydration and active ingredients that can target specific skin concerns. It's a spa-like step that adds a layer of luxury to your skincare ritual. 💦

But does everyone need a toner? Well, it depends on your skin type and concerns, but I like to think of it as a crucial step for a truly balanced complexion. 🌸 Eminence has a range of toners and essences, so you can find one that's just right for you—whether you're dealing with dryness, oiliness, or anything in between. Swipe to read a little about each one.

Using these products is super easy—just a few spritzes or a gentle patting onto the skin after cleansing, and voilà! You're all set to move on to your fave serums and moisturizers with your skin perfectly prepped and pH-balanced. 🧖‍♀️

Why not give your skin the love it deserves? Trust me, once you add an Eminence toner or essence to your routine, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. It's all about that fresh, healthy glow! ✨

Do you have a favorite Eminence product? I'm all ears for your skincare stories!

🍃💧🌸

Today, on International Women's Day, I pause amidst the whirlwind of life to celebrate the essence of being a woman. To every woman out there – know that you are the embodiment of strength, grace, and resilience. You are the architects of society, crafting the future with each role you play, whether as a mother, a sister, a daughter, a friend, or a leader. 🌷

Being a woman is a profoundly unique experience – a tapestry woven with threads of challenges and triumphs, stitched together with love, tears, and laughter. It is to carry life, to nurture souls, to break barriers, and to hold hands, both in moments of joy and in times of trial. 💪

We are the dreamers and the doers, the nurturers and the warriors, the comforters and the changemakers. We are the softness in a harsh world and the steel in the face of adversity. Each one of us is a story of perseverance, a living proof that tenderness and power can coexist beautifully. 🌟

Today, let's remember the women who paved the way, the shoulders upon which we stand. Let's honor their sacrifices and continue their legacy by lifting each other up, by fighting for equality, and by embracing our individual and collective power. 💖

To be a woman is to be unlimited. It is to be a multitude of things all at once – complex, multifaceted, and extraordinary. Let's celebrate our differences, our unique strengths, and the incredible impact we have when we stand united. 🌏

Here's to being a woman. Here's to every victory won, every barrier broken, and every heart touched. May we recognize our worth, may we cherish our bonds, and may we continue to shape the world with our hands and hearts.

Happy International Women's Day! 🥳
