When someone’s skin is already prone to redness, the answer isn’t necessarily to throw more at it.

For appropriate patients, Stacy likes a thoughtful approach that may combine treatments such as IPL + Laser Genesis, while also keeping the home skincare routine focused on supporting rather than constantly challenging reactive skin.

Because with redness-prone skin, treatment planning matters.

🔥 Aggressive isn’t automatically better.
🧴 More products aren’t automatically better.
⚡ More treatments aren’t automatically better.

Sometimes the smartest plan is a combination of targeted in-office treatments, appropriate spacing between them, a calm home routine—and paying attention to how that individual patient’s skin responds.

That’s the part Stacy considers especially important:

Listen to the patient. Listen to their skin. Adjust accordingly.

The Most Misunderstood Step in Your Skincare Routine

What if one of the most important steps in your skincare routine is also one of the hardest to see working?

That’s why Cat thinks antioxidants are so misunderstood.

A peel can make your skin feel smoother. A moisturizer can make it feel more hydrated. But antioxidants aren’t necessarily going to give you that same immediate “Ohhh, look what this did!” moment.

Think of them more like an invisible support system. 🛡️

Antioxidants such as vitamin C can help neutralize free radicals generated by factors including UV exposure and pollution, helping support the skin against oxidative stress over time.

It’s less about instant gratification and more about consistency.

And that’s an important distinction in skincare:

Not every product has to create an immediate visible change to earn its place in your routine.

Does Face Taping Actually Work? Susie Weighs In

Face taping is all over social media—but does it actually work? 👀
Susie’s answer: it can create a temporary cosmetic effect, depending on what you’re using it for.

Products designed to hold or smooth an area may make lines appear softer while they’re being worn or shortly afterward. And yes, physically pulling the face or neck with tape can certainly change how it looks…
while the tape is doing the pulling. 😂

What it doesn’t do is permanently retrain your facial muscles or create a lasting lift.
So if you love your face tape? Enjoy it. Just understand what it can—and can’t—reasonably accomplish.
And if the tape holding up your neck comes loose on only one side at dinner…

Susie tried to warn you. 😂
