Rescue Esthetics

If acne could be solved by buying one more product, most of my clients would have cleared their skin before they ever met me.

Before I recommend anything, I want to understand the full picture.

When did the acne begin?
Where does it show up?
What products, medications and supplements are being used?
What touches the skin every day?
What seems to make it better or worse?

Products matter… but they’re only one piece of the puzzle.

My goal isn’t to send you home with the biggest bag of skincare. It’s to help you understand what may be contributing to your acne and build a plan that actually makes sense for your skin.

A little seasonal refresh for your skin… Microdermabrasion gently exfoliates the surface, helping lift away built-up dead skin cells and leave your skin feeling smoother and looking brighter.

That filter gives you a peek at what the treatment picked up along the way. It’s a satisfying little reminder that skin can use a refresh, too.

Microdermabrasion isn’t the right fit for every skin type, so I’ll always check that it makes sense for your skin before we get started.

For years, I thought makeup had to be full coverage if it was going to cover my acne.

Then, as the day went on, it would cling to every textured area, turn orange and make me feel even more self conscious.

That frustration is what led me to dive into custom blended mineral makeup back in 2014. It wasn’t a cure all, but it gave me a better option while I was still trying to understand why my skin continued to break out.

That experience still shapes how I help clients today. Clearing acne takes time… and you still deserve to feel comfortable and confident in your skin while you’re working through it.

Makeup shouldn’t be another thing you have to fight with.

I like a pimple patch for the right reason.

It can protect a breakout from your fingers and absorb fluid from certain surface level spots.

But it won’t unclog every pore, prevent the tiny blockages that become future breakouts or do much for a deep, painful bump that hasn’t reached the surface.

Use the patch to protect the spot… but keep following the routine that treats the bigger acne process.

Because the goal isn’t just covering today’s pimple. It’s helping fewer of them form in the first place.

Save this for the next time you’re tempted to cover your entire face in patches.

We may look a little crazy in this photo… but guys need microneedling too! He was a great sport, and we both had fun 😂

Will I peel after a treatment? Maybe…or maybe not.

Some skin sheds in visible flakes, while other skin exfoliates gradually with very little to see. I look at how your skin heals and whether the concern we’re treating improves, not how much peeling you experience.

More flaking doesn’t mean better results, and no flaking doesn’t mean your treatment didn’t work. Peeling isn’t the goal…healthier skin is.

Save this as a reminder before your next peel!
