3 NON-NEGOTIABLES THAT GIVE THE BEST, NATURAL LOOKING LIPS

šŸ’‹ CHOOSING THE RIGHT INJECTOR
Look for the BIG 3
I. Proper licensing (NP, RN, MD) and specializes in esthetics NOT JUST BEFORE AND AFTERS
II. Consistency in different lip types and shapes
III. Post healed results not just dramatic before and afters

šŸ’‹PRODUCT CHOICE MATTERS
Not all hyaluronic fillers act or behave the same. Some fillers are softer and give more hydration where others give more structure. A skilled injector will choose the correct brand for your lips, not their favorite brand.

šŸ’‹UNDERSTANDING YOUR ANATOMY
Some lips can achieve dramatic volume easily while others look best with subtle enhancement. A good injector will guide you toward what fits your features, and natural lip type, not chase unrealistic trendy expectations.

Not everyone’s lips are built the same—and that directly affects results. Things like natural lip shape, muscle movement, skin thickness, and how much volume you already have all play a role in how filler sits and heals. Because of this, the same amount of product or technique can look completely different from person to person.

That’s why results are custom, not copy & paste. Your anatomy is quite literally the blueprint.

A little redhead actionšŸ”„āœØ

Ok, but seriously. Do you know that natural redheads hair can be courser, slightly unruly and blonde too? It’s true. Ensuring I remove every hair but save all necessary hairs can be tricky but very much so do able with practice and patience.

How gorgeous 🤩

I am often asked what can be done to erase fine lines, wrinkles, or sagging skin. The nest answer is that aging is inevitable- we are all going to experience it. But the way we age, and how our skin shows it, is greatly influenced by our lifestyle choices and daily habits.

Understanding which lifestyle choices have a direct impact on our skin helps you protect and support it long term.

Aging gracefully isn’t luck, it’s the result of making the better choices, consistently.

Everyone always asks me what I products I use during transition seasons, especially spring, and tbh I reach for all of my hydrating and soothing products.šŸŒŠšŸ§œšŸ½ā€ā™€ļø 🩵 This transitional season in particular really does a number on my skin barrier mainly because of environmental allergens– go check out my post on allergens and your skin, so preventing TEWL is crucial for me.

My current skincare routine includes mainly Circadia products but also a few products that contain botanicals that are hydrating, calming and soothing.

WHAT PRODUCTS ARE ON VANITY THIS SEASON? 🧓✨

is anyone else’s skin feeling the changes from this transitional season?— ok, just checking.

most of us suffer from season allergies, and ignore the effects these allergens have on our skin. it’s important to know what reactions allergens can have on our skin and what to do when anti-histamine medications just aren’t cutting it.

Pollen is the most common and the biggest culprit to allergies. tree pollen is mostly seen and felt during early spring while grass pollen spikes late spring early summer.

Some indoor plants, even freshly cut flowers, release pollen that can also cause sensitivity to our skin. Our outdoor exposure increases during spring as does pollen count.

Dust mites can be found in bedding, upholstery and carpets all year round. Spring cleaning lifts accumulation of dust mites and dust making it a perfect storm for already sensitive skin.

Pet Dander aka microscopic flecks of dead skin, found on shedding coats often stick to furniture and linger in the air because of their lightweight contributing to allergies.

Changes in fragrances found in perfumes and/or personal products can contain irritants such as synthetic fragrances, essential oils, dyes, and even formulation changes.

Your skin isn’t being difficult—it’s just responding to your hormones.

As your body moves through the different phases of your menstrual cycle, hormone levels rise and fall, which can directly affect oil production, hydration, sensitivity, and even breakouts.

You might notice your skin feeling more dry and reactive during your period, glowing and balanced around ovulation, and a little more congested or breakout-prone in the days leading up to your next cycle.

Learning how your skin behaves throughout the month can help you understand what it actually needs during each phase.

Here’s a quick breakdown of what skin effects to expect during each phase:

šŸ©øšŸŒ™MENSTRUAL PHASE:
+ dry
+ dull
+ sensitive/reactive
+ dehydrated
+ more visible dark circles

🌱✨FOLLICULAR PHASE:
+ brighter complexion
+ better water absorption
+ smaller pores
+ ā€œglowy skin is backā€

šŸ’«āœØOVULATION PHASE:
+ maximum glow
+ plumper skin
+ balanced oil levels
+ dewy –not oily, skin

šŸŒŖļøšŸ”„LUTEAL PHASE:
+ increased oil production
+ inflammation
+ visibly noticeable congested pores
+ puffiness
+ slightly more reactive skin

šŸ“„ Save this for the next time your skin suddenly starts acting different ✨
