Your Esti Fairy

Kinda chic to be an esti 🙂‍↔️🧚🏼

Your perfect alternative to retinol, ✨Glycolic 10✨

Retinol is always the gold standard but if your skin doesn’t seem to tolerate it well, give her a try!

• 10% glycolic acid exfoliates & renews skin
• Brightens & evens skin tone
• Reduces/prevents signs of aging
• Smooths skin texture
• Ingredients to protect skin barrier

Use 3-7 nights a week as tolerated

I think these all say a lot soooo.. 🙂‍↔️🫶🏼

Tell me some of your top 5’s!! 🌟

4 laser treatments later… 😍🤌🏼

More even and healthier, younger looking skin!!!

What we did: 4 Light & Bright sessions each 4-6 weeks a part plus great home care with targeted products to address her concerns all around ✨

So happy with these results and can’t wait to see even more improvement 🧚🏼

How to treat closed comedones (blackheads) at home & in-office 🧚🏼

- Hydration internally & externally — blackheads will stay put if skin is also dehydrated

- Exfoliation with a BHA if skin can tolerate it like salicylic acid — doesn’t need to be every day

- Retinoid like Adapalene to smooth texture and clear pores — work up to every night if tolerable

- Chemical peels with targeted acids every 2-4 weeks then for maintenance

- Microneedling to get oxygen into the pore (bacteria cannot live if oxygen is present)

Alternating products is how I’ve been able to use actives while maintaining a healthy barrier 🔑

Both routines are simple yet effective!

My skin type can vary, doesn’t like occlusive products, is prone to blackheads & inflamed acne/occasional cystic acne as well as PIE (red acne marks)

🌞My morning routine:
• Creamy cleanser most days
- BPO 4% cleanser twice a week (Tuesday & Friday) to prevent & treat inflamed acne
• Silymarin CF every morning except BPO days for protection, antioxidants, calm inflammation & non-inflamed acne
• B5 gel for hydration
• EltaMD tinted spf as my moisturizer+spf

🌜My nighttime routine:
• Creamy cleanser to remove spf, pollution, etc.
• Vanicream gentle cleanser to cleanse skin thoroughly
• 0.1% Adapalene most nights for cell turnover, anti-aging and to calm inflammation
- OR Enzyme/Sulfur mask once a week (Sunday) I don’t use Adapalene on nights I use either of these masks
• Barrier serum to calm inflammation & hydrate skin
• Comfort cream to calm inflammation & moisturize skin

The common denominator in most of these products are anti-inflammatory & exfoliating or hydrating and I’ve seen a lot of improvement in my acne marks 💫
