Revive Esthetics

I’ll be doing a short series on what I’m using this summer as a super pale, acne + freckle prone gal, to keep my skin healthy, clear, and free from sun damage 🌞 each day I’ll post a product from my summer regimen!

Starting out strong with the Deep Pore Cleanser from DMK! I looove this cleanser, especially for the summer. Ever wondered why you break out more when Its hot? If you think about it- oil and water don’t mix. So when there’s oil on your skin and moisture hanging in the air, (hello, 98% humidity) your skin can’t properly regulate the oil flow and it gets trapped, clogging and suffocating your pores.

Pore deep to the rescue!! Pore deep is deeply cleansing, but doesn’t leave me dry or stripped. This is important because not every foaming cleanser can cleanse without stripping the barrier of necessary oils- which in turn creates MORE oil flow. This gets all of my makeup, sunscreen, sweat, and grime off of my skin so I can stay clear 🙌

Available at the Frank and Eva Drum House! We’re open Tuesday-Friday 10am-5pm ✨

Have you ever thought about booking a facial as a nervous system regulation practice? If you haven’t, let me paint you a picture:

The room is cool and dark, with soft candles flickering. Music is playing softly and there’s a big, comfy bed waiting for you. You crawl in, and experience all sorts of beautiful smells, sensations, and sounds as your skin gets treated to the very best products and techniques. You naturally relax, breathe deeper, maybe even drift off to sleep. You leave with overall less tension in the face, neck, and shoulders, your skin is cleansed and renewed. For a moment, maybe even the rest of the day or week, you feel lighter and brighter than you were before ✨

Of course facials don’t *have* to be this, but they can be. If this sounds like something that would suit you, you can book using the link below. I recommend the classic facial for a little bit of everything ✨

Now that we know how important a regulated nervous system is, how do we achieve it? First, we manage our expectations. The goal isn’t to never be stressed. The goal is to counteract the inevitable stress with moments of peace that fill your body + soul up so it can keep going ✨
Give one of these a try this week. Bonus points if you can try one of these in a time when you really don’t feel like doing it! (That’s how we rewire our brains to behave in healthier patterns!)

Did you know when your body is in fight or flight mode, it shuts off your immune system? Your body thinks it’s in survival mode, so it shuts down every function that isn’t necessary to survival. When your immune system is down, you aren’t maintaining your defense against pathogens, bacteria, (hello, acne) viruses, diseases, etc. The immune system also plays a major role in wound healing, inflammation, and tissue repair. These are major components in aging! Finding a way to calm our overactive nervous systems is crucial to aging with grace and having an overall better human experience. Start slow, don’t aim for perfection. Just breathe. Let yourself soften when you can. That will help more than you know 💖

Have you started your retinol journey?

Retinol can drastically improve:
💫 skin texture

💫 acne
💫 collagen production

✨ DMK ENZYME THERAPY ✨

I know, I know. It looks crazy! Give this mask a chance though, because this is all it does for your skin:

⭐️ detoxifies the skin of impurities
⭐️ creates passive muscle contractions to give the facial muscles a lift + toned “face lift” effect
⭐️ increases blood flow circulation to the skin
⭐️ firms, tones, tightens
⭐️ smooths out scars and rough, thickened skin
⭐️ reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin
⭐️ compliments + enhances other skin modalities such as chemical peels, plastic surgery, injectables, etc
⭐️ stimulates collagen
⭐️ helps to retrain the skin to behave in a healthy way
⭐️ Address any and all skin conditions, including acne, melasma, rosacea, etc

If you think you don’t need to wear spf because you’re working from home, or don’t go outside often, think again! 🫶 SPF is needed every single day to adequately protect your skin from sun damage, aging, and even skin cancer.

📣 WEAR YOUR SPF EVERY DAY, EVERY SEASON, NO MATTER WHAT 📣

You should be wearing your spf DAILY, regardless of weather or temperature so ensure your skin is protected from sun damage + premature aging + skin cancer!

Double cleansing is VITAL in setting your skin up for success! If you don’t have a properly cleansed palette, the rest of your regimen won’t be nearly as effective.

The fastest way to age yourself is to skip your spf 🫠
