One of the questions I get asked the most as an esthetician is “What treatments should I get to prep for my special event [wedding, photoshoot, reunion, etc.]?” I created an easy list for you that details what treatments you should get and when.
Don’t stress; you don’t need to get ALL of these treatments. This list is simply to help you figure out your timeline of beauty and skincare services. Pick and choose what looks good for you and your skincare goals.
Read MoreClear skin and an even complexion are always the goal, right? But for a lot of people, getting skin to behave properly and to be completely breakout-free is difficult. Factors like hormones, sweat, a humid or polluted environment, and certain skincare/makeup products can cause blackheads and whiteheads and aggravate or worsen cystic acne.
In my 16 years as an esthetician, I have learned that treating acne isn’t one-size-fits-all, BUT there are a few treatment methods and skincare routine tweaks I have found that work to clear breakouts for many people. We’re talking less congestion, less inflamed acne, less irritation, and a healthier complexion!

Read MoreA little less than a year ago, I wrote a blog article on skinimalism: the practice of simplifying your skincare routine by being very intentional about the products you choose and the routines you follow. When you take a step back, think about what your skin really needs and do an audit of all the skincare items you have, you’ll most likely end up purchasing fewer products in the long run and will make less impulsive decisions when it comes to treatments and products. I’ll break down skinimalism in this blog and teach you ways to apply it to your own skincare routine.
