The Skincareapist

Four products I swear by for every home 💕

BeWell 💕 I come for the experience, the education, the exhibitors. And I keep coming back for the people.

This is a close-knit industry and I am so lucky to have the opportunity to connect with people I respect and admire, who are always generous with their time, knowledge, and expertise, who show up with openness and heart. I have new friends IRL who I’ve known online for ages and I feel so full.

Being an esthetician can be isolating at times and coming together like this always reminds me that we are having shared experiences across geography. What a treat.

The sun is strongest in June and I take care of my skin accordingly! ☀️
Love morning sunlight for mental wellbeing and circadian health, and when it comes to midday sun, I cover my skin while enjoying the heat. I’ve been wearing long sleeve rash guards for years, and when I notice my neck is exposed, I add a scarf or sarong. I am also careful to avoid midday sun as much as I can. Even with all of this, I will still get a little color, which boggles my mind.

The Skincareapist will be closed June 25 - July 5. If you need any product pickups, please reach out before June 21! Any pickups not arranged before then will be available after July 6.

I ❤️ microcurrent, probably more than red light, and that’s saying something. It’s a gentle workout for your facial muscles that you can do at home and with consistent use, see beautiful results.

If you have:

Laxity
Early signs of sagging
Visible nasolabial folds
Dull skin
Inflammation
Pale or sallow skin

Your first thought is red light, right? Yes, red light is nice, but if you want noticeable results for any concern with musculature or changing structure of your face, I am a big fan of microcurrent. It will feed the mitochondria of your skin cells, help lift sagging muscles, counteract early signs of laxity, and give you a lovely glow. Use it 3-4x a week and you WILL notice a difference. It’s like going to the gym - for your skin. 🫶🏼

Must be used with appropriate conductive gel; not safe for anyone currently pregnantor who has a pacemaker.

Gentle corrective products, progressive treatments, and patience all add up to steady and beautiful results ✨

In-clinic treatments with

This mask is amazing for creating compression in the skin. Compression for -

Blood flow
Nutrient delivery
Firming and tightening effect
Oxygenation

I love to use it during my Level II appointments, especially when paired with red light. The skin feels lifted, hydrated, toned. Safe for all skin types, and exceptional for skin that looks dull, lackluster, missing that pizzazz. Excellent for sagging and signs of aging to create a glowing, radiant effect.

Your face spans from your hairline to your décolletage and nothing can convince me otherwise. Please treat your skin below your chin accordingly! I recommend applying the same routine you use for your face all the way down over your chest. 💕

A little evening microchanneling. Practicing technique, speed, pressure, all the things! My face was feeling spicy at the end, and this cooling sheet mask that comes with felt sooo soothing.

Microchanneling is a form of collagen induction therapy used to minimize the appearance of uneven texture, pigment, acne scars, fine lines, and more. I love it in a series for ice pick scars, acne marks leftover from years ago, uneven pigment, and when I’m just feeling a little blah. Instead of a peel where flaking can occur, microchanneling works from the inside, supporting the maintenance of healthy collagen and stimulating short term inflammation to produce a healing response. My skin will feel a little tight and sensitive for the next few days, but nothing a little moisturizer and sunscreen can’t manage. I will of course avoid heat for 48 hours and direct UV for the next week or two.

I like to alternate treatments like this with other facial skincareapy like lymphatic drainage, peels, spicules, microcurrent, and facials. 💗☺️
