Skin Habits That Haunt Me as an Esthetician 👻

It’s spooky season, so let’s talk about the things that truly scare your esthetician.

👻 Sleeping in your makeup — your skin needs to breathe and repair overnight.

😱 Picking your face — hello inflammation, scarring & pigmentation!

☀️ Skipping your sunscreen — yes, even when it’s cloudy. SPF is an everyday thing!

🧪 Over-exfoliating — more is NOT always better. Your skin barrier needs some love too.

The good news? You don’t need a 10-step routine or perfect skin habits. Consistency, the right products, and a good skin plan will always win.

Happy spooky season from your Estie Bestie! 🖤🔮

DERMAPLANING: MYTH vs. FACT ✨

❌ MYTH: Hair grows back thicker.

❌ MYTH: It’s just shaving.
✅ FACT: It exfoliates + removes peach fuzz.

❌ MYTH: It’s only for hair removal.
✅ FACT: It smooths + brightens skin.

✅ FACT: It doesn’t cause acne, but we avoid active breakouts.

❌ MYTH: There’s downtime.

Let’s talk Alkaline Wash!

Alkaline Wash is so much more than body hair removal! This unique treatment works by softening and dissolving unwanted hair while gently exfoliating built-up dead skin cells. With consistent treatments, it can help make the hair feel finer and softer as it grows back.

But the benefits don’t stop there!

Alkaline Wash can also be incorporated into professional skin-revision treatments to help improve the appearance of ingrown hairs, folliculitis, congestion, uneven texture, and certain types of scarring.
It’s one of my favorite treatments because we’re not just removing hair—we’re working on the skin underneath it, too.

✨ Smoother skin
✨ Less visible unwanted hair
✨ Helps with ingrowns & congestion
✨ Improves the look and feel of uneven texture
✨ Great for many areas of the body
Hair removal + skin revision in one treatment. Yes please! 🙌🏼

🚨Motivational Monday🚨

Showing up for yourself doesn't mean you have to have it all figured out. Some days it's a workout, some days it's slowing down, and other days it's simply choosing YOU.

Remember, small steps are still progress. Give yourself grace, stay consistent, and keep showing up for the person you're becoming.

You are worth the effort. Every single day.

✨ Friday reminder ✨

Self-care doesn’t have to be complicated. It can be a facial, a workout, a quiet cup of coffee, a walk outside, or simply giving yourself permission to slow down.

Whatever fills your cup—make a little time for it today. 🤍

Happy Friday, beauties! Take care of YOU this weekend.

✨Motivational Monday ✨

Movement can change your whole mood. Sometimes all it takes is getting up, moving your body, and reminding yourself just how strong you really are.

You can do hard things. You can push through the uncomfortable moments. And you’re capable of more than you think when you put your mind to it.

Move your body. Clear your mind. Keep going.

✨ DMK MD Paramedical Class ✨

What an amazing two days! Even though this was a refresher course, it felt so good to step away from my everyday routine and completely immerse myself in education. 🤍

I met some incredible women with the best energy, refreshed my knowledge on the DMK Remodeling Procedure, and learned new ways I want to incorporate Alkaline Wash into my treatments. I also got to dive deeper into the Pro Alpha Six Layer Peel—and I’m so excited about what’s coming!

Continuing my education after 15 years in this industry reminds me that there is always something new to learn and ways to grow.

I can’t wait to bring some of these new services to DermaLilly this fall. 🍂✨

Stay tuned… I have some fun things coming! 🤎
