Nomadic Skincare

Getting a little personal today 💕
 
This topic is close to my heart. In my struggle with both my skin condition and my autoimmune disease, I received so much overwhelming advice and information regarding my lifestyle, diet and restrictions I should implement. I often felt trapped within these modifications. If I wasn’t adhering to them, I would feel a sense of failure or anxiety that I was making things worse. I started to doubt the safety of perfectly normal parts of life like going outside in the sun, eating certain foods, or exercising.
 
After my experience, I have learned that management does not equal complete control. Suggestions surrounding restriction are not rules set in stone. And often the people making these suggestions do not have the full picture.
 
I’m not posting this to demonize lifestyle mods and trigger avoidance all together, as they can be very helpful. I just want to shed a little insight on how extremist mindsets and rule setting around these things can be harmful to your clients. The language surrounding these topics is impactful.

If you struggle with a chronic skin condition, it’s okay to let it flare sometimes. Drink the drinkies. Hit up the beach. Go swimming. Eat the spicy Pad Thai. Stay up late. You deserve to live your life and not feel held back by the appearance of your skin.
 
I feel like sometimes I’m out here just making little posts for myself. Hopefully someone out there can relate and needed to hear this too

Summer @ Nomadic so far ☀️☀️☀️

This is what a great skincare routine and microchanneling can do! ⚡️

This client was wanting to address some natural signs of aging. She recently decided to really dedicate herself to her skincare routine and in-clinic treatments, and this progression pic is just the tip of the iceberg! So far we’ve revamped her routine and completed 6 Microchanneling sessions. Changes in her static fine lines and pigmentation are apparent already and we are just getting started! Can’t wait to come back with an update after a few peels 😎

The truth about progress like this is it isn’t immediate. Results take time, consistency and repetition, usually of the same products and treatments. Totally worth it IMO.

Cleansing is underrated! 🫧 Having a great cleansing routine sets the stage for the rest of your products, so here’s a guide to make sure you’re doing it the right way!

Your cleanser should be effective at removing makeup and spf, but also gentle as to not strip the skin of its natural oils. That squeaky clean feeling? We actually don’t want her! Tight and squeaky skin after cleansing can indicate your cleansers pH isn’t right for you. Your cleanser should make your skin feel hydrated and balanced, so it’s ready to accept all of the ingredients in your skincare routine.

The Nomadic Acne Bootcamp does it again! 🪄

This client struggled with a combination of cystic, nodular, and severe non inflamed acne, which can be very very difficult to clear. This before and after took about one year to achieve, with the latter half being mostly work on scars and post-inflammatory marks. While some of this bootcamp was difficult (extractions and purging being some low points), it was so so worth it!

I’m so proud of this client for sticking with it through the ups and downs that come with clearing acne🥹

It’s a pigment massacre!!! 🔪
 
Breaking my Instagram silence with this friggin SLAM DUNK 🏀 of a melasma transformation.
 
Melasma can be a difficult condition to control due to its frequent correlation with hormones and its many triggers. It usually takes a trifecta of diligent client compliance with home care, lifestyle changes, and in clinic treatments. For this client, we used a heavy hitting anti-melanin routine, sun-safe habits, and a series of Environ TCA cool peels (5 to be exact!) in order to achieve this result.
 
This client had tried more invasive procedures in the past only to experience a worsening in her pigmentation. I am a firm believer that inflammatory conditions should be handled with an ANTI-inflammatory approach. Spicier/deeper/ ultra quick resurfacing isn’t always better. I am absolutely obsessed with the results I get from my Environ Cool Peels, and they have zero downtime, little to no client discomfort and elicit hardly any shedding at all.
 
If you have been struggling to break through your pigmentation, I am here to help! I am currently accepting new clients. Join my waitlist and I will personally reach out to you to schedule!
 

Happy 4 years to Nomadic Skincare 💕

I can’t believe it’s been 4 years. February 20, 2020 I remember sitting in the back of my esthetics class on my laptop and finalizing the creation of this little business of mine with the click of a button. Little did I know there were a LOT of hurdles coming my way *insert global pandemic* but also a lot of milestones.

I love what I have created. I love the clients I have been so lucky to meet and work with. I love that I have been able to learn so much and that I will be able to continue to learn more throughout my entire career. I love being my own boss (most of the time. Sometimes my boss is a real as***le tbh). I love having the freedom to creatively express myself however I want. But mostly I love that I have been able to help people feel better and more themselves in their own skin. Thank you for all of the support from my dedicated clients, my friends, family and my amazing partner over the last 4 years. I don’t know where I’d be without you all. Here’s to many more years at NS!

Yes, this is the SAME FACE 😱

This is what 2.5 years of consistent monthly treatments and a customized routine can get you. She literally AGED BACKWARDS. Benjamin buttoned us all. So so proud of this progress. These kinds of complexion changes do NOT come overnight, but wow are they worth the wait amiriiiiite? Granted, she began so see change just months after we started seeing each other, but THIS!!! This is true barrier health accomplished through a culmination of time and consistency. I’m so glad I remembered to snag those before photos 😅

WHAT A YEAR

2023 came with a lot of big milestones for Nomadic Skincare. There were plenty of ups and downs, but one thing that remained consistent was my love for this little business of mine and all of the clients and relationships that have come from it. I want to say thank you from the bottom of my lil heart to everyone who decided to trust me with their skin journey this past year. It’s been an honor getting to know and help you 🥹

I’m so ready for 2024 and what it may bring ✨✨✨

HAPPY NYE!!

ROSACE-SEE-YA LATER !✌🏻(rosacea puns, lol)

This client came to me with papulopustular rosacea and persistent redness, which we tackled first with an acne bootcamp and then with the integration of powerful rosacea-fighting antioxidants after we had cleared most of her breakouts. Rosacea is a condition that cannot be cured, but with the right cocktail of treatments and home care it can ABSOLUTELY be managed!

Another clear complexion in the books 🥹

This sweet client of mine cleared her persistent inflamed acne with a combination of virtual and in-clinic treatments paired with a full routine. I am BEYOND proud of this progress. This truly was a team effort 😭🫶🏻✨
