Julia Reynolds Esthetics

Let’s talk retinoids 🤍

Retinoids are one of my favorite skincare ingredients for a reason. They can help improve the look of fine lines, texture, breakouts, pores + pigmentation while supporting healthier-looking skin over time.

But here’s the important part: not every retinoid is created equal, and the “strongest” option isn’t necessarily the right one for you.

Finding the right retinoid comes down to your skin, your goals + what your skin can actually tolerate consistently.

This week I’m breaking down the retinoids I carry, who they’re best suited for + how I choose between them.

✨This week is dedicated to one of my favorite skincare categories — retinoids. ⬇️

Three years ago, I took a leap of faith and opened Julia Reynolds Esthetics. 💛

This month marks 3 years of helping clients feel confident in their skin, and I honestly couldn’t have done it without all of your support.

To celebrate, I have some really exciting things planned this month… including giveaways, collaborations with some of my favorite local businesses, special anniversary promotions, and more. 🎉

Stay tuned—you won’t want to miss what’s coming. ✨

☀️ National SPF Day ☀️

One of the best things you can do for your skin health, pigmentation, and aging prevention is wear SPF daily.

Not all sunscreens are created equal, and finding the right formula for your skin type matters. Mineral sunscreens are often preferred for sensitive and post-procedure skin due to their broad-spectrum protection and skin-friendly ingredients.

I currently have a limited amount of my favorite SPF formulas in stock and available in lotion or compacts!

Brush Your Teeth First 🪥
Then skincare

Residue from toothpaste can disrupt your skin barrier and clog pores around the mouth and chin.

Plus, wiping around your mouth after doing your skincare is just wasting some of your product.

2 week transformation✨

These breakouts weren’t random — they were triggered by stress 🧠

When your body is overwhelmed, your skin shows it… And picking? It only delays healing, increases inflammation, and leaves post acne marks.

The focus was:
• calming inflammation
• supporting the barrier
• simplifying the routine

Healing your skin isn’t just about what you put on it — it’s also about what’s going on internally.
