Do you know the most common causes of aging?

Intrinsic and extrinsic are two different types of ways your skin can start to age. Intrinsic is natural causes such as time & hormones. Extrinsic is outside causes such as air pollution or using improper skin care!

The more you know ;)

Do you know the benefits of vitamin C ?? Cuz they’re kind of incredible 🍊🍋🍍

Naturally vitamin c is found in citrus fruits, berries, potatoes, tomatoes, spinach & broccoli. Not only does vitamin c support your immune system when ingested but it promotes collagen production when applied topically. This is a process called collagen synthesis - this can’t happen without vitamin c (how cool is that?!)

The scientific term for vitamin c is L-acerbic acid - this is sometimes what is listed on medical grade products showing that a potent form of vitamin c is in the product.

Exfoliating is something I believe everyone should do - in moderation - remember to be gentle to your skin & show it some love by not scrubbing 🫶

manual exfoliation should be light pressure and shouldn’t leave your face feeling raw.

Chemical exfoliation shouldn’t leave your face peeling or sore! (unless you receive a chemical peel by a professional, of course😌)

Why do I feel itchy & tight after microneedling 💉

Well… let’s get into a little science behind the skin 🧪 There are different microneedling healing stages. During the proliferation stage, 5–10 days following microneedling, your skin may feel dry, itchy, or irritated as redundant cells rise to the surface.

As your skin recovers from the tiny punctures caused by the microneedling device, it may feel itchy. This is your body’s important healing mechanisms getting to work; creating new collagen and elastin.

The itching typically lasts for as long as 24hrs, it feels the same as a small cut healing! ❤️‍🩹

There are so many tricky triggers to acne but these are some of the main ones

Some others to look out for -
+ a dirty pillow case
+ dirty face towels or using body towels on your face
+ furry friends (licking your face, sleeping in your bed/on your pillows)
+ dirty phone
+ drug store supplements and products
+ whey proteins

I. Love. My. Job.

All these bandaid solutions never address the root cause. What bandaid solution have you used in the past?

What I see vs what my clients see 🙈

Some easy tips that some people forget about - my secret skin care tip is always consistency - if you are always switching your products, changing your routine or not using products every day your skin will never adapt to the products and you won’t see results!

When I hear “I wear my sunscreen even though it’s winter” what I’m REALLY hearing is “I love you”. And that is a direct translation 💋

In honor of it being feb 1st - I had to post a cute little valentines post for you ;)
