This is one of those products you’ll be SO happy you have on hand when a breakout decides to make an appearance. 🤍

Whether you’re someone who deals with chronic, inflamed acne or you only get that one hormonal breakout right before your period every month… you’re going to thank yourself (and maybe me 😚) for having this in your skincare drawer.

Sulfur is one of my favorite ingredients for acne because it helps reduce acne-causing bacteria while calming the redness + swelling that comes with those angry, inflamed breakouts.

Gone are the days when you thought you needed to dry your skin all the way out to treat acne. You don't need have to.

That’s why I love this Sulfur Spot Treatment. It targets the breakout you have now, helps protect against future breakouts, and it’s packed with hydrating, soothing, and barrier-supporting ingredients so you’re not sacrificing your skin’s health in the process. (Thank youuu Face Reality)

A few more reasons I’m obsessed:
✨ It dries down completely transparent, so you can wear it overnight or under your makeup.
✨ One tube lasts FOREVERRR because you only need the teeniest, tiniest amount.

You can grab yours at Ardent through our Vagaro retail storefront, send me a DM, or stop by for a free product pickup. We also ship directly to your door. 📦🤍

✨ MINI GIVEAWAY ✨

Do you struggle with chronic breakouts? Tell me about your biggest acne frustration in the comments, and I’ll randomly choose one person to receive a FREE full-size Sulfur Spot Treatment!

🗓️ Giveaway ends August 31, 2026. Good luck! 🤍

I promise I'm laughing with you, not at you 🩷

Sometimes we just have to make fun of ourselves and most of these can be forgiven (except that sunscreen causes cancer 🙄)

Which slide was your favorite? ⬇️

That moment when you completely drown the world out and let the stress melt away. 💭

That moment when you exhale and know that you are taking care of YOU today.

That moment when you are trusting the process after years of battling with your skin.

That moment when you stretch after your treatment and say to me, "Can I just stay here forever?"

That moment when you realize just how far your skin has come.

As your esthetician, I love experiencing those moments with you. I love catching up on the stories of your crazy sister in-law (😉) or congratulating you when your youngest started their first day of college. 🥰

I love being the person that you trust with your skin.

I also love being the person you trust to share your most challenging moments and your happiest.

To all my current or past clients, thank you for sharing these moments with me and thank you for trusting me 🦋🤍✨

There was a time when I thought the products and treatments were what got people results. 😅

The longer I’ve done this, the more I’ve realized that’s only PART of the story.

The same peel can be exactly what one person’s skin needs… and the worst decision for the next person.

That’s why I strongly disagree in "copy + paste" treatment plans.

Every appointment starts with one question:

What does your skin need today?

Sometimes that’s a peel or barrier repair or extractions or hydration.

And sometimes the best thing I can do is resist the urge to do more!

I genuinely think we've been taught to believe that healthy skin comes from finding the “best” product or treatment.

And that's just not true anymore 💁‍♀️

I think healthy skin comes from making hundreds of small, thoughtful decisions over time.

That’s the part of skincare I love the most.

It's not the products, it's the thinking behind them.

If conversations like this are your thing, you’ll probably love my Substack 😊

Instagram is where I show you what I’m doing + Substack is where I share why I think the way I do - the deeper conversations, treatment room reflections, skin philosophy, and everything I can’t fit into a carousel lol.

The link is in my bio if you want to join me over there. 🤍

There are a fewww skincare hills I’ll never come down from… 😂🤍

After years of treating skin, one thing has become super clear…

Healthy skin isn’t about chasing perfection! (Say it again👏🏻)

It’s about protecting your barrier, staying consistent, and giving your skin what it needs - not what’s trending.

Which one surprised you the most? 👇

I love before & afters because they remind us how easy it is to miss the little changes while you’re living through them.

Calmer, less reactive skin.
A more even complexion.
Softer fine lines.
Less redness.

Little by little… until one day you look back and realize just how far you’ve come 🤍

If you’ve been feeling like your skin is working against you, I’d love to help you create a plan that finally feels right. 🫶

Most people think Dermaplaning is just about removing peach fuzz, but they couldn't be more wrong.

Dermaplaning is one of my favorite ways to gently exfoliate the skin by removing the buildup of dead skin cells + fine vellus hair that naturally collects on the surface. That buildup can leave your skin looking dull, feeling rough, and make your skincare and makeup perform less than ideal.

The difference you’ll actually notice:

✨ Skin that feels incredibly smooth
✨ Makeup that glides on more evenly
✨ Skincare that absorbs better
✨ A brighter, healthier-looking complexion

It’s one of those treatments where you don’t just see the results, but you feel them every single time you touch your face. (:

Ready to experience it for yourself? I’d love to help you find the treatment that’s right for your skin. 🤍

One of the biggest misconceptions about skincare is that the right facial or the right product will magically transform your skin.

The truth is, lasting results come from a customized plan, consistency, education, and having someone who knows when to adjust that plan as your skin changes.

That’s exactly how I approach every client.

I’ve also been where many of my clients are. I’ve struggled with acne, psoriasis, scarring, and the confidence that can disappear when you don’t feel comfortable in your own skin. That’s why I care SO deeply about helping my clients understand their skin and not just treat it.

You don’t have to figure it out alone anymore.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start following a plan that’s built specifically for your skin, I’d love to help 🤍
