After the hydroquinone conversation, yโall kept asking โokay but what about MY skin?โ So hereโs the truth: your plan depends on two things.
1. Your skin TYPE: oily, dry, combination, normal
2. Your skin CONDITION: breaking out, dark spots, sensitive
Put them together and thatโs your combo. And your combo decides everything: what goes on first, what you skip, and whatโs been wasting your money.
Thatโs why your bestieโs routine didnโt work for you. It was never built for YOUR skin.
Swipe, find your combo, and drop it in the comments. Iโll tell you where Iโd start. ๐งช

Every fall, skin that behaved all summer starts acting up: tight, flaky, breaking out. On melanated skin it doesnโt stop there, because every bit of irritation can leave a dark mark that takes months to fade.
It usually comes down to five mistakes:
1. The wrong cleanser
2. Over-exfoliating
3. Skipping sunscreen
4. Keeping your summer routine
5. Treating melanated skin like every other skin type
Swipe through and be honest about which ones youโre doing. Most people are doing at least two.
Save this for your next product run, and send it to the friend who still thinks sunscreen is a summer thing.

Yโall asked โso what DO you use, Steph?โ Pull up a chair. ๐งช
Itโs not one product. Itโs an order:
1. Calm the skin
2. Protect it. Every single day.
3. THEN we brighten
And no, Iโm not dropping a product name in the comments. Not because Iโm gatekeeping. Because as a professionally trained esthetician, I know there is no one-size-fits-all product that magically works for every skin type.
Your plan depends on two things:
Your skin TYPE: oily, dry, normal, combination.
Your skin CONDITION: breaking out, dark spots, sensitive.
Oily and breaking out is not the same plan as dry and sensitive. So you and your cousin sharing that cream? Thatโs the problem, sis.
Not in San Diego? Comment VIRTUAL and Iโll build yours.
This is my professional opinion from 9+ years as a licensed esthetician and Esthetics educator. If youโre under a doctorโs care, keep that conversation going with them.

Expecting perfect skin after one facial is like expecting a flat stomach after one workout. ๐งช
Unpopular opinion: if youโve had ten facials and your skin looks the same, the facials arenโt the problem. The lack of a plan is.
A facial can give you a glow. Correcting acne and dark marks takes strategy, consistency and the right treatments at the right time. And if you have melanated skin, going too aggressive too fast can leave you with more pigmentation than you started with.
The results on slide 4 took 6 months and 1 year. No shortcuts, no miracle product. Just a plan they followed.

Okayโฆ but can we talk about what ONE HOUR did? ๐
She came in after summer break feeling dry, dull + puffy.
So instead of piling on more products, I created a treatment around what her skin actually needed:
โจ Microdermabrasion
๐ฅฅ Coconut Enzyme
๐ด Red Light Therapy
โก๏ธ Microcurrent
๐ง Hydration
The goal wasnโt to change her face.
It was to refresh the skin, restore hydration, reduce that puffy appearance, and bring back some definition.
And this is exactly why I love my Sculpt & Lift Facial.
60 minutes. Strategic modalities. No needles. No downtime.
Because sometimes your skin doesnโt need a complicated treatment plan.
It needs someone who knows what to use, when to use it, and WHY.
Would you try the Sculpt & Lift? ๐
