The most used word in the anti-aging skin care world is probably "collagen." We all want more, but we don't really understand what makes it. That's where fibroblasts come in! They're some of the hardest-working cells in your skin. They help build collagen, elastin, and other things that keep skin strong, firm, and healthy. A lot of "anti-aging" makes sense once you understand fibroblasts. Healthy skin is not just about using a lot of products. It requires the right support to the cells responsible for repair and regeneration.

Another week down of getting to take care of all of YOU. Always and forever grateful for your support at The Collective ❤️

If your skincare starts rolling, flaking, or balling up on your face… that’s called pilling. It’s one of the most common skincare frustrations I hear about.

Most people assume that the product is bad.

Usually that’s not the issue.

Pilling is often caused by:
• layering products too quickly
• using too much product
• incompatible formulas
• heavy silicones or film-forming ingredients
• dead skin buildup
• too many layers sitting on the skin at once

This happens ALL the time with SPF + makeup combinations.

Your skin can only handle so much before products start sitting on top of each other instead of setting properly.

A lot of the time, simplifying your routine actually gives you a smoother finish than adding more.

And no… your skincare routine should not feel like Elmer's glue peeling off your face by 8am 😂

There's a lot of new faces here the past few weeks and that calls for an updated introduction! I'm Chelsea, Esthetician of 22 years and owner of .wellness in El Paso, Texas. I specialize in treating acne, and find true joy in clearing my clients' skin and helping them regain their confidence. This is the side of Instagram where we take the guesswork out of skincare, simplify our routines, and take care of ourselves on the inside just as much as we do on the outside. We also juggle wellness, lifestyle, and the behind the scenes of building a business while still trying to be a normal person. Welcome to CW, I'm so glad you're here!

Resveratrol doesn't get talked about enough like it should! It's not harsh or aggressive or has WOW factor, it just helps your skin do its job better. I love it most for redness in skin, acne clients dealing with inflammation, and anyone trying to age their skin well without overdoing actives.
