Beauty by Lissy

It all started with brows 🤍

Story time..

Back in 2017, I hated the dead end admin job I was in. Me and my one of my besties worked together and we both hated it.. she moved to Dubai so I knew I had to do something to escape 😂

So I took a chance and booked onto an HD Brows course. I had no experience but had nothing to lose 😂

My Dad was sceptical. His exact words were “Do you really think you can make money doing brows?” Love you, Dad 😂

To be fair, some men just don’t understand the beauty industry and the money us girls spend 😂 But secretly, those words gave me even more motivation to prove everyone wrong.

I remember feeling embarrassed telling people what I was doing. I’d say “I’m doing a brow course and setting up a business,” 😂😂 The looks on their faces made me feel like I’d completely lost the plot.

Fast forward nearly 9 years and here I am. 🥹🥹 A thriving business, thousands of clients on my books, a business that is flexible around my family, I’m investing in myself and the business again and complete freedom to build a career I genuinely love and I feel like I’m just getting started.

And I couldn’t be prouder of what I’ve achieved. (Don’t we all need to celebrate ourselves more!!)

So this is your sign 🤍

If you’re stuck in a job that doesn’t fulfil you, you’re never too old to retrain or start something you’re passionate about. With consistency, hard work and a side of del-lulu you really can change your life 😂🥰

Anyone else? 🤣

Who is guilty of dermaplaning at home? 👀

If you’re dermaplaning at home too often, your skin might be trying to tell you to stop 👇🏻

We all love Dermaplaning as it exfoliates the top layer of skin and removes 2/3 weeks worth of dead skin cells as well as peach fuzz and leaves our skin soft and glowy. However, when it’s done too much, with too much pressure or on already sensitive skin, it can compromise your skin barrier.

Have you experienced breakouts and acne flare ups, which has then led to you dermaplaning more to try to ‘fix’ your skin? You could actually be making your skin worse by over exfoliating and causing more breakouts.

A damaged skin barrier can lead to:
❌irritation & redness
❌inflammation
❌tight, sensitive skin
❌breakouts & acne flare ups
❌stinging when applying skincare
❌increased dryness or oiliness

And if you’re already using exfoliating acids, retinol, scrubs or acne treatments, adding dermaplaning on top can be too much for your skin.

Most of the at home dermaplaning blades are also much blunter than professional surgical blades which can also cause unnecessary friction and irritation to your skin over time.

Dermaplaning is included in both my Signature Glass Skin Facial and Express Glass Skin Facial and it really is an amazing treatment when carried out properly 🙌🏻
