When on vacation mode it’s important to balance fun in the sun WHILE also protecting your skin 🫶

SPF helps reduce the amount of UV radiation that reaches your skin, which means it can help:

• Lower UVB damage, the main cause of sunburn and a major contributor to DNA damage.

• Reduce UVA damage, which penetrates deeper into the skin and plays a significant role in premature aging, collagen breakdown, and pigmentation.

• Minimize the inflammatory response that follows excessive UV exposure.

• Slows the breakdown of collagen and elastin. Natural collagen production already begins to decline in your 20s, and repeated UV exposure accelerates that process through enzymes called matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which break down collagen fibers.

• Decrease the accumulation of DNA damage over time, helping lower the risk of developing certain skin cancers when used consistently alongside other sun protection measures.

• Help prevent dark spots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from becoming more noticeable after acne, irritation, or procedures.

No sunscreen blocks 100% of UV rays, and SPF isn’t about avoiding the sun entirely either. It’s about reducing the amount of cumulative damage your skin experiences over the years.

SPF is a daily investment, NOT because you should fear the sun, but because your skin remembers every exposure even the ones that don’t leave you red.

Wear enough (about 1tbsp for your face and neck), reapply every two hours or so when outdoors, and pair it with shade and protective clothing when you’re spending extended time in the sun.

Aging smarter and more graceful starts with daily habits 😊

Social media makes everything always seem so easy, flawless and polished and that can be so frustrating and confusing to compare your step 1 to someone’s else’s step 100 because they don’t show the other 99 steps it took to get there.

Real skin, life, and results doesn’t work the way that it is so often portrayed.

Your skin is constantly changing, responding, healing, and adapting to both internal and external shifts. That makes my job as an esthetician not to promise perfection, but to help you realistically understand and manage your skin health , set realistic expectations, and create a plan that evolves if/when needed when responding to any shifts.

When you understand why your skin behaves the way it does, you stop fighting it and start working with it; in your own pace, time and journey.

Oops 🤭

Want that “snatched” glow before a big event? This is one of my favorite treatments for exactly that.

The audacity 🥲

Ft a throwback of my daughter having a meltdown over spilling her Cheerios and the dog eating it

It is so easy to get influenced by a product or routine that worked for someone else on TikTok, Instagram, or even your best friend, to be hopefully that it’ll work for you too and it is so frustrating when that isn’t the case.

But again like in this analogy, If you only fix the broken traffic light, you’ll only help the people whose traffic was caused by that problem. Everyone else is still stuck.
Your skin works the exact same way.

That’s why random skincare trends and copying someone else’s routine can end up costing you more time, money, and frustration. They may be targeting the wrong “traffic jam.”

A good esthetician doesn’t just recommend products, they take the time to understand your skin, ask questions, educate you on why they’re recommending something, and create a plan based on your unique needs. Just as importantly, you should feel comfortable asking questions and make sure you’re working with someone whose approach aligns with your goals.

Healthy skin isn’t about chasing quick fixes. It’s about understanding what’s happening beneath the surface and building a plan that addresses the right pathways.

Remember: skin health is a journey, not a race. The goal isn’t perfection overnight, it’s creating lasting, healthy results over time. 🤍

Have you ever tried a viral skincare product that everyone swore by… but it did absolutely nothing for your skin?

Sometimes it’s the little daily habits that we overlook that make the biggest difference in the way we look and feel.

❌Drying your face with your bathroom towel.
✅INSTEAD: Use a clean face towel (or disposable facial towels if easier) and gently pat your skin until it’s damp. That way your hydrating products can bind to moisture and plump more effectively.

❌Thinking the SPF in your moisturizer or makeup is enough.
✅INSTEAD: Apply a dedicated sunscreen as the last step of your morning skincare routine. Aim for about 1 tsp total for your face and neck combined, and reapply every 2 hours when you’re outdoors or after sweating or swimming (for on top of a beat you can use a brush on mineral spf powder or apply over using a clean disposable wedge sponge)

❌Forgetting your neck, chest, and hands.
✅INSTEAD: Extend your skincare down to your neck, chest, and the backs of your hands, they’re amongst the first places to show damage and collagen loss first! Prevention is always easier than correction.
