Mandelic acid is also one of the best acid selections for those with darker complexions because it isn't melanotoxic.

HALE & HUSH SKINCARE πΏπΏ
Many brands carry a sensitive product or series, which may still be too harsh. Others might strip all active ingredients from a product and label it βsensitive.β Sensitive skin requires specialized products that are effective yet mild.
With the gentlest cosmeceutical products in the skincare industry, Hale & Hush unites the once-separate branches of anti-aging and sensitive skincare.
Skin is soothed, comforted and balanced, while the strategic introduction of superior ingredients strengthens and revitalizes sensitive skin over time.
Only the finest ingredients are permitted in Hale & Hush products, with dermatology testing conducted on each and every product to ensure suitability for sensitive skin.
Herbs and botanicals are selected over harsher chemicals, incorporating Nutricosmetics (nutritional components and antioxidants) wherever possible.
Hale & Hush products are gluten-free, sulfate-free, paraben-free, and fragrance-free or naturally scented.

And sunscreen π
Sunscreen helps protect against photoaging, cellular DNA damage, and hyperpigmentation, so you should wear sunscreen every day as part of your skincare routine.
To prevent sunburn, reduce the risk of skin cancer, and decrease the likelihood of early skin aging, wear sunscreen EVERY DAY.
Make it part of your daily routine! You will thank yourself in the long run π«ΆπΌ

NON-INFLAMED ACNE β¨
Non-inflamed acne consists of comedones.
A comedo is an open (blackhead) or closed (whitehead) skin pore or hair follicle clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria.
Non-inflamed acne is treated differently than inflamed acne. Talk to your esthetician on how to treat your non inflamed acne β£οΈ

RF SKIN TIGHTENING π«ΆπΌ
When the body creates resistance to the currents, heat is generated, which strengthens and refines the underlying tissues. Because of the ability of radiofrequency to reach the dermal layer of the skin, the skin is made firmer while existing collagen fibers are strengthened and the production of new collagen proteins is stimulated.Β
Benefits of Radiofrequency:Β
* Strengthens collagen proteins and encourages the production of new ones
* Tightens and firms facial and body skin
* Decreases depth of wrinkles
* Effectively at combats mouth and forehead wrinkles
* Increases skin elasticity and tightnessΒ
* Supports healthy collagen productionΒ
* Non-invasive, safe, and requires no downtime
* Features cumulative effects with further treatments
A series of 4-6 treatments (one a week for 4-6 weeks) are suggested for best results! Packages are available through the booking link in our bio β₯οΈ
βββ

DOUBLE CLEANSING π
First, an oil-based cleanser or balm is used to remove oil-based impurities, including makeup, sunscreen, sebum, and pollution.
By getting rid of this stuff first, the second water-based cleanser can really work its way into the skin to target your main skin concern.
Not only is a double cleanse meant to give a more thorough cleanse, but it can also revitalize dull skin and allow other skin care products to pe*****te more effectively.
Personally, I recommend doing this at night after a long day of wearing makeup π«ΆπΌ

COMEDONESβ¨
Blackheads and whiteheads are the most common forms of comedonal acne.
Blackheads are open-faced. When the melanin pigment (found in the sebum produced by our oil glands) makes contact with the air at the top of an open comedone, it oxidizes and turns dark. This is why blackheads have a dark appearance.
Whiteheads, on the other hand, have closed surfaces. They look like small white or flesh-colored dots.
Topical treatments are applied directly onto the face to control excess sebum and unclog existing comedones.
Common options include:
β’ azelaic acid
β’ benzoyl-peroxide
β’ glycolic acid
β’ salicylic acid
β’ retinoids
β’ sulfur
