One thing I’ve come to realize as a Acne service provider is that no matter HOW MANY RESULTS folks see on our page, no matter HOW MANY TESTIMONIALS we share, no matter HOW MANY PAYMENT PLANS we offer…

If a person hasn’t changed their mindset, they just aren’t going to make changes in their skin results.

It’s literally like buying a gym membership, then sitting in the gym watching other people actually exercise and put in the work.

I mean, we literally take the guesswork out of it and provide you with:

6 customized visits
Medical evaluation
Home care kit with instructions
3 ways to pay
An Acne E-Guide
Ongoing Support

And you STILL won’t show up for yourself once per month?!

Well listen, it’s your money at the end of the day, but I’m only giving one shot. After that it’s a waste of time that another serious patient could have taken to reach their skin goals.

Our time is valuable too! 💯🧪

Is Acne Holding You Back Professionally?

Let’s get real about acne. It’s not just a skin issue—it can seriously affect your confidence and how others perceive you.

Think about walking into a job interview or an important meeting with a face full of breakouts. It’s tough not to feel self-conscious, right? Acne can make you shy away from opportunities because you’re worried about being judged. This lack of confidence can hold you back from showing your true potential and impact your professional success.

But you deserve to feel confident and let your talents shine, no matter what. At The Formula Skin Lab we understand the emotional and professional impact of acne. We’re here to help you regain your confidence with personalized skincare solutions that really work.

Don’t let acne stand in the way of your dreams. Reach out to us today and let’s bring out the best version of you! 🧪

- DON'T use non-comedogenic products
- DON'T follow a skincare routine
- DON'T seek professional advice
- DON'T manage stress levels

When it comes to hyperpigmentation, there are so many different forms and causes. Take melasma, also known as “The Mask of Pregnancy.” It's often triggered by hormonal changes like pregnancy, aging, and birth control. But did you know UV rays from the sun or tanning beds can also set it off?

Low iron levels can be a culprit too. Vitamins B12, vitamin C, and iron supplements can help reverse melasma, giving your skin the boost it needs.

At The Formula Skin Lab, we tackle melasma head-on. We know your body already has an overproduction of pigment-producing enzymes, so we take an aggressive approach to even out your skin tone.

If you’ve been battling melasma and need help, join our 90-Day Blemish Bootcamp. We’re here to help you achieve clear, even-toned skin. Comment “clear skin” to learn more!

People are still buying flights and booking flights in be name of self care.

People are still buying lobster and steak at the latest restaurants because they want a new experience.

People are still buying designer clothing and bags because they want to look good.

People are still buying personal trainers because they want to feel better.

And at The Formula Skin Lab people are STILL buying our $1500 90 Day Acne Bootcamp, because they want CLEAR SKIN RESULTS! (Some even paying in cash, but we do have payment options available if needed).

The moral of the story? People are still willing to pay for what makes them look and feel better. Don’t sell yourself short, get what you work hard for with no regrets.

Nowadays, we’re starting seeing a lot more men getting into skin care, and it’s for one simple reason…

Men want to LOOK and FEEL good too! When a man steps into the room, a zoom call, or a meeting at work, he know he needs to put his best face forward to make an impression.

The easiest way to do that is by making sure there aren’t ingrown hair, blemishes, and acne breakouts happening with a healthy skin care routine.

Gone are the days of facials being a “women thing”, these days it’s more of a “look good, perform better thing”.

At our Gentleman’s Facials are fully customized and tailored to not only help our clients get solutions for their skin concerns, but also to help them relax and reduce some stress with our calming massage techniques, aroma therapy, smooth jazz hits, and warm steam.

If you’re a Gentleman looking for some self care, be sure to send us a DM at The Formula Skin Lab 🧪

Celebrity Skin Care – Let’s Talk About It!

Yes, the bottles are pretty, and of course you want to support your favorite R&B singer or actress, however certain skin conditions and skin types simply won’t benefit from these skincare lines.

So let's get into the world of celebrity skincare and figure out if it's the right fit for you. ✨

✅Who is it for?
- Typically, people aged 16-25 with clear, normal to combination skin types.

✅What does it do?
- Provides a basic skincare routine that promotes self-care.
- Helps keep your skin clean and hydrated.
- Leaves you with a noticeable glow – more so than doing nothing at all.

🚩What are some of the cons?
- Not suitable for those struggling with acne, blemishes, or wrinkles.
- People with skin conditions need customized routines and advanced treatments.

If you're battling acne, dark spots, or signs of aging, you need more than just a basic routine. You need a licensed esthetician or dermatologist to create a personalized plan that targets your specific skin concerns.

A lot of celebrity skincare brands possess known irritants and fragrances that can also cause inflammation on people with acne, eczema, or psoriasis.

At The Formula Skin Lab, we specialize in treating acne, hyperpigmentation, and aging skin. Our expert team crafts custom skincare solutions just for you, ensuring you get the results you deserve.

Book your virtual consultation with me today, and let’s get you started on reaching those skin goals! 🧪

As a Black woman-owned business, it is deeply disheartening to see opportunities continuously taken away from us. Despite the already challenging journey of bringing our vision to life, we constantly face obstacles from those who seek to oppress us.

When I first opened The Formula Skin Lab, my vision was to create a space where people of color, regardless of gender, could come and find a safe place to relax and unwind. The journey has been long and uphill, often leaving me feeling defeated. Every dollar earned has been reinvested into this vision, yet gaining interest in funding, loans, and investors remains difficult simply because of my skin color.

At times, I feel like giving up. However, the support from all of you keeps me going. Whenever I consider closing, my dear clients ask when they can next visit. My supportive team has been with me through this journey, and I feel obligated to show them the bigger picture I envision.

Headlines like these feel like a slap in the face after all I have endured as a Black woman in business, but I remain determined. I firmly believe there is always another way to achieve your goals as long as you have faith.

With that being said, I urge everyone reading this to continue supporting your local and online Black-owned small businesses whenever you can. We urgently need people like you to help keep Black businesses in our communities. Otherwise, corporate greed, racism, classism, gentrification, and outright hatred will continue to drive us out. 🖤

Dangers of Chemical Peels At Home

Learn about chemical peel dangers, types, skin conditions and more.

Chemical peels are like an exfoliating treatment on steroids! Just like cleaning a tarnished piece of silver, chemical peels can make your skin glow and shine by removing the dull and damaged layers.

✅They come in 3 different levels – light, medium, and deep – each catering to different skin needs. Whether you’re looking to get rid of wrinkles or tackle deeper issues like dark spots, there’s a peel for you.

✅There are at least 12 different types of chemical peels, each tailored to address specific skin concerns. From glycolic acid, lactic acid, TCA, to salicylic acid peels, there's something for everyone. However, who performs your peel matters—esthetician or dermatologist—as it determines which levels can be safely administered to achieve the best results. (Most estheticians offer light to medium peels which are more comfortable and controlled than a deeper peel).

✅If you have melanin-rich skin, it's crucial to choose the right type of peel and avoid those that can cause hyperpigmentation or other issues. Always consult with a skilled professional and avoid at home peels without proper guidance, to make sure your skin gets the best care possible! 🧪

I’m always amazed when clients struggle with acne for most of their lives and then see photos like THIS on our social media pages and think that we can achieve this 2 weeks before their birthday! 😭

Believe it or not, folks really walk up in our spa with this unrealistic expectation, and we are forced to have to shatter those dreams every single time! 😬

Results, like this take TIME, DEDICATION, and COMMITMENT TO CHANGE to achieve.

This means you are actively doing your skin care routine twice daily, showing up to your bi-weekly or monthly appts, not taking the summer off and ruining your progress for pool parties, and vacations (our products can be purchased in TSA approved travel sizes), or whatever other excuses you want to come up with.

Results like this are only achieved when you accept change and are willing to give it your all. That can mean 90 days for some, and 180 days for others. While every skin need is different, the difference between those that don’t get results, and those that do, is simply that one gave up before they got started, and the other pushed through.

Which are you? 👀
