Yes. Come as you are.

You do not need to go home after work, wash your face, and then come back for your facial.

Properly cleansing your skin is part of what I do.

I would much rather you arrive with makeup on than spend the whole drive here worrying that you were supposed to show up with a perfectly clean face.

Sometimes the easiest treatment is the one where you lie down and do absolutely nothing.

Celluma LED uses light therapy to support the skin and can be incorporated when we’re working on concerns such as acne, inflammation and visible signs of ageing.

No needles. No exfoliation. No complicated routine.

Just close your eyes and let me do the work for a while.

I’m not sure I’ve ever shared a Seventeen Magazine article before… but this one seems worth it. 😄

How much skincare product are you actually supposed to use?

We tend to assume more product = better results, but that’s not usually how skincare works. Using extra serum, moisturizer or eye cream doesn’t make it work faster. Mostly, it just means you’ll go through the bottle faster.

I love this visual guide because it gives you an easy way to picture the amount you actually need.

Two nerds of serum? One candy corn of eye cream? A Snickers Mini of cleanser? 😂

Obviously these are rough comparisons, not measuring spoons, but the point is good: you probably need less product than you think.

And if you’re flying through something way faster than expected, ask me. We may need to talk about how much you’re using.

That was adorable of us, wasn’t it? 😂

Happy Saturday.

Carrying the entire week in your shoulders?

An Indian Head Massage focuses on the head, neck and shoulders, areas where so many of us hold tension without even realizing it.

No complicated skincare lesson today.

Just an hour where nobody needs anything from you.

That sounds pretty good to me.

Do you really need to cleanse twice?

Sometimes, yes.

Environ Skin EssentiA Pre-Cleansing Oil is the first step I like when we need to properly remove makeup, sunscreen, excess surface oil and the buildup your skin collects throughout the day.

Then you follow with your regular cleanser.

And no, an oil pre-cleanser does not automatically mean oily skin. 😉

If you wear makeup or sunscreen regularly and still feel like your cleanser isn’t quite getting everything off, this may be the step your routine is missing.

I have it in the studio if you want to see whether it makes sense for your skin.

You know that one hair?

The one you pluck.

Then pluck again.

And somehow it ALWAYS comes back? 😅

Electrolysis is permanent hair removal, and it can be used on those stubborn individual hairs you’re absolutely tired of having a relationship with.

Chin, upper lip, brows, face… if you’re constantly reaching for the tweezers, let’s talk.

Your face should not feel like this after cleansing. 😅

That tight, squeaky-clean feeling can actually be a sign that your cleanser is stripping too much from your skin.

Clean should feel clean.

Not tight.
Not dry.
Not uncomfortable.

If your skin feels like it needs moisturizer the second you rinse your face, it might be time to look at what you’re cleansing with.

Anyone else’s cup feeling a little empty after Labour Day, back-to-school, and trying to get everyone back into a routine?
