Skinapeel Beauty

Welcome, September! The start of my favorite month...and my Birthday!! 🙌🏽

As with many of you I’m sure, I used to think I would NEVER want to be 40. But I proud to say I’m no longer afraid of birthdays. A year older means a year wiser, stronger, more confident, and more sure of where I’m going. Oh, and less wrinkles thanks to skin care that gets better with age. 😉

Thank you for an amazing 40th year! Ready for you, 41. 🦋🎉✨🌟

Your words hold power. 💪🏽

They can build people up, or tear them down. And they are often times a reflection of how we are feeling about ourselves.

I mean..how good does it feel when you know you made someone’s day, week, or even life by taking 2 seconds of your day to pay them a compliment or tell them something you see in them that is so special? Pretty dang good, right?!

So, why not keep the good vibes going?! Pass this on or tag someone in which you see something beautiful. 💖 Raising your vibration is contagious. 💫

Thank you and for the reminder!

A little flashback moment that stopped me in my tracks..🥹

I came across this gem while visiting my childhood home recently, and it made me so proud of my teenage self. It is an amazing feeling to know that at 18 years old, even though I don’t actually remember what I did or said to be inspiring, that I clearly made a difference in someone’s world. This will always mean more to me than ‘winning,’ or being ‘the best’ at something, or ‘right.’

It’s also a great reminder that people may not remember what you say, but they will remember how you made them feel. And even though you can’t ‘change’ someone, you CAN inspire them on their journey.

This is what I believe I am here to do, and is more motivation to keep it up!!✨🦋✨🦋

Here’s the truth about dark spots...👇🏽👇🏽

If you have been noticing those pesky sun spots darkening your skin and causing your complexion to look uneven, you aren’t alone!

“Hyperpigmentation” as it is commonly known as, is very common and is especially prevalent after prolonged exposure to heat and sun...even hormonal fluctuations and pregnancy. You will also see PIH - Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmenation - from acne!

Treatments and products that address pigmentation issues vary and require a multi-faceted approach. This is why I always recommend a personalized skin plan that not only lightens the dark spots, but also reduces inflammation in the skin and accelerates the healing. The combination is KEY! 🤗

In so many words. 😉

What we tell ourselves when we look in the mirror holds So.Much.Power. Tell youself what you would tell a friend who you think is just the bee’s knees and deserves the world. And MEAN IT! Because you deserve the world too. 💖✨

Pass it on to a friend who needs to hear this too! Happy Monday!🦋

And I hope you know how much you deserve it.✨

Here is yet ANOTHER tip I wish I had learned when I was 20..how to save money on skin care with products that actually work! ⤵️

Did you know skin care companies are not required to list their ingredients from highest concentration to lowest?

This means that a product advertising a certain key ingredient might have less than 1% of that ingredient in the bottle.

On top of that, the ingredients might not be formulated in a way that easily absorbs into the skin.

If you’ve ever noticed skin care products that feel like they just sit on your skin, you know what I’m talking about.

Understanding how products are formulated is key to finding ones your skin will actually love AND will give you the results you deserve.

You deserve a safer, healthier approach!

What is one investment you will NEVER regret, will make you FEEL good inside, and look even better too? Taking proper care of your SKIN! 🤗✨🙌🏽

Here are a few key elements to having their healthiest, most optimal skin for years to come...

👉🏽Use a sun block daily - About 80-90% of aging skin is from sun damage. Yikes! So, when you are out in the sun or even driving, protect skin with a zinc oxide-based SPF30 like the Daytime Defense by . **Bonus points for wearing a UVF Hat!! (Link in Bio to shop🤗)
👉🏽Eat foods that love you back & are nutrient-dense - Including a clean, hydrolyzed collagen supplement! Glycation also breaks down the collagen matrix. Top offenders are charred foods, sugar (especially processed HFCS), processed foods, alcohol. Crowding these out as much as possible will help preserve your skin’s youthfulness.
👉🏽See a Licensed Aesthetician - helping YOU is what we live for! Invest in your skin care at home & in the treatment room for best, longest-lasting results. Professional-grade treatments that are supportive to you skin health and collagen while preventing its breakodwn include: Lightwave LED, TAMA Microcurrent, Nanoneedling, Vitamin A peels, etc.

Prevention is KEY! Skin Care is one investment you can make for yourself that doesn’t take a lot of money, time, and you will NEVER regret. With these tips and more, you will not only help to prevent prevent lines, wrinkles, and overall premature aging, but also FEEL great about the face you present to the world every day. Every little thing we can do helps!

Have you ever stopped to pick something up- whether it be a book, a card, a note- and aren’t sure why but just have to do so?

That happened to me a few months ago. A card was laying on the ground on one of our morning dog walks, and I just couldn’t stop myself from being drawn to it. This is what it said on the cover, and on the inside was a beautiful note from a daughter to a mother, telling her how much she appreciated something she gave her, and why.

It really resonated with me, as ‘kindness’ is so different from ‘niceness.’ And the difference is noticeable once you become aware of it. Kindness, is a state of being. It is beyond feelings and conveniences, and comes from the heart in bringing someone (and yourself!) encouragement, support or appreciation. It not always convenient, but FEELS good and right. Niceness on the other hand, takes no sacrifice, or pain, and is something done for another often because it feels obligatory but not necessarily heart-centered. Pleasant, but not long-lasting.

Who do you know that has treated you with true kindness? Think about this next time you are interacting with others or are even just with yourself. How amazing this world would be with more kindness?✨🩷✨

How is it already almost November?!

With the holidays upon up, I feel this is an appropriate reminder that you may need to reread…every.single.day. 🤣😉

Now, go get it and make it a good one! 😘

What is one thing you NEVER should leave home without? I'll give you one guess!😜👆🏽

It may be fall, but here in Arizona it's the BEST weather and time of year to enjoy the outdoors. Finally!!

However, whether it be the Italian sun, Arizona sun, or any sun - sun is sun. As lovely as it is to bask in, it's also the top contributor to aging, damaged skin. So protect that precious skin of yours. You'll thank me...and yoursef...later. ☀️✅✈️

✨I believe in what I do.✨ How amazing does it feel when you can say that?

The dictionary defines an Aesthetician (pronounced - es-thi-tish-uhn) as someone who is licenced and specializes in improving the appearance and health of their clients' skin. However, my "WHY" in becoming a Skin Care Expert is SO much more than that. I remember sitting at my desk at work back in 2011 and suddenly it came to me - "Why don't I go back to school to be an Aesthetician?!" Afterall, I had worked in the skin care industry since 2006 and loved every aspect - from the chemistry of ingredients in formulating products, to learning about the anatomy and physiology of the skin/skin conditions, to helping my friends, family and coworkers to put together the proper home care regime for their skin and goals. But my "WHY"was this:

✨Because helping others is what I know how to do.
✨Because I had struggled with my skin and wanted to teach others what I had learned the hard way.
✨Because I believe everyone's inner beauty shines through even more brillianly when they feel they look their best.
✨Because I have found that prioritizing self care has an immense positive impact on one's health and wellbeing.
✨Because I wanted to spread the knowledge of PREVENTATIVE CARE, and that there is a way to improve your skin and age with grace without extreme measures.
✨Because I know that people are happiest when they are giving, doing what they love, and showing gratitude - all of which I get to do everyday!

…And the list goes on. Happy , and thank you for allowing me to continue to serve you in the best way I know how! 💆🏽‍♀️🙏🏼💛

Wow. I truly cannot put into words how much this beautiful gift means to me. So grateful for my amazing clients and the sunshine they bring to me! Humbled and honored. 🥹✨🩷

40 is the new...20?! 😉🎉

Regardless of whether or not that is true, I’m ready for this new decade! I don't know about you, but I sure feel like thanks to advancements in health & skin care there can be a much larger gap between our chronological age vs. biological age. Feeling good and enjoying what life has to offer should be top of the priority list!

While my 20's and 30's were fun yet challenging, I feel like all the growing, learning and evolving into the woman I am going into this next decade have been well worth it. Life is what you make of it!!

Thank you for sharing in this journey with me, professionally and personally. Can't wait for what's to come in this next decade of life...and help myself and YOU all look as young as we feel while we're at it. Salute! ✨🎉🥂

P.S.A. - I am BACK and ready to help YOU reach your skin and self-care goals. to book! XO

Who is YOUR liquid sunshine?? Find those people and stay in THAT energy always. Ain’t got time for anything less than uplifting in this life. 💛☀️

Happy Birthday America! ❤️💙🇺🇸

Grateful for our country and all the opportunities and beauty it has to offer. Enjoy your holiday week!

Hi! Here is something you may not know about me: I do not like to use the term ‘anti-aging.’🤨

This may come as a surprise to you, so hear me out! 👇🏼👇🏼

‘Anti-aging’ is a term that came about to describe what professionals, brands and marketing companies think women and men want for their skin. Which is somewhat true! If you ask most people if they want to look older than they are, the anwswer is often “no!”

However, …ANTI-aging implies being 'against aging.' Which I certainly am not! It is an inevitable and beautiful fact of life that we all age. I believe it's all about the QUALITY of our skin and health while we do so.

My absolute passion is to increase the vitality and longevity of my client’s skin through safe, proven-effective, holistic skin care treatments and home care lifestyle recommendations/personalized products. Stay tuned for some more fun facts, tips and favorite ways of being proactive in caring for your largest organ- your SKIN!!
