WISH Esthetics

One of the hardest-working ingredients in skincare: Vitamin C.⁣
⁣
Most people know it helps brighten the appearance of the skin, but that’s only part of the story.⁣
⁣
Vitamin C is an antioxidant, meaning it’s a free radical scavenger. Every day, UV exposure, pollution, and even normal metabolism create free radicals that contribute to premature aging and uneven skin tone. Vitamin C helps neutralize those free radicals before they can do more damage.⁣
⁣
I tell my clients Vitamin C is a helper ingredient. It doesn’t replace your sunscreen or your peptides. It works alongside them, helping defend your skin against oxidative stress while supporting healthy collagen production and a brighter, more even-looking complexion.⁣
⁣
Here’s a little formulation trivia: I love seeing Vitamin C paired with Vitamin E. These two antioxidants work synergistically, providing greater antioxidant protection than either ingredient alone.⁣
⁣
But here’s the real takeaway…⁣
⁣
The best formulation in the world won’t change your skin if it stays in the bottle.⁣
⁣
Consistency will.⁣
⁣
Healthy skin isn’t built by one perfect routine. It’s built by the intentional choices you make every single day.⁣
⁣
Now I want to hear from you. What’s one skincare ingredient you’ll never skip, and why?

There are moments in your career that become turning points. For me, The Skin Games was one of them.⁣
⁣
I entered as a competitor hoping to challenge myself. What I gained was so much more than a placement. I learned to document every decision, think more critically, and approach every treatment with greater intention.⁣
⁣
That experience shaped the esthetician I am today.⁣
⁣
Since then, I’ve had the privilege of serving as your Director of Judges, and become an OG Legend.⁣
⁣
Along the way, I’ve opened my third solo practice, built an online education platform, contributed regularly to DERMASCOPE Magazine, and had the opportunity to speak and educate throughout our industry.⁣
⁣
The Skin Games didn’t hand me those opportunities. It challenged me to raise my standard and gave me the confidence, credibility, and community to pursue them. The rest was up to me.⁣
⁣
If you’ve been wondering whether to enter, this is your sign. Whether you earn a trophy or not, you’ll leave a stronger clinician, a more thoughtful esthetician, and a better version of yourself.⁣
⁣
Are you ready to let The Skin Games be your catalyst?⁣
⁣
Now, Game On!

I stopped waiting until I had more time and stopped chasing perfect.⁣
⁣
I started taking care of myself, one intentional choice at a time.⁣
⁣
Because self-care isn’t selfish.⁣
It’s a promise you keep to yourself.⁣
⁣
If this month has taught you anything, I hope it’s this, consistency will take you farther than perfection ever will.⁣
⁣
What’s one promise you’re going to keep to yourself this week?

I wasn’t sure where this challenge would lead. What I didn’t expect was how much I would enjoy showing up, sharing what I’ve learned, and letting go of the idea that everything has to be perfect.⁣
⁣
If these bloopers prove anything, it’s that consistency matters so much more than perfection. Every video got a little easier, every lesson a little clearer, and every day reminded me that growth happens when we simply keep going.⁣
⁣
Thank you for following along, for encouraging me, and for learning with me. I hope this challenge has inspired you to share what you’ve learned too. You never know who needs to hear what only you can teach.

What I’ve learned about over the last 25 days…⁣
⁣
I’ve learned that I negotiate with myself more than I realized.⁣
⁣
Last night I almost said, “I’ll do it tomorrow.”⁣
⁣
I was tired. Skipping some of my routine seemed completely reasonable.⁣
⁣
But this challenge reminded me of something. The conversation in my head is usually harder than the routine itself.⁣
⁣
Once I started, I was glad I did.⁣
⁣
It’s a good reminder that consistency isn’t about being perfect. It’s about keeping the promises you make to yourself, even on the days you don’t feel like it.⁣
⁣
I’m taking that lesson well beyond skincare.⁣
⁣
Now I’d love to hear from you.⁣
⁣
What’s something you’ve learned about yourself recently?

Drain the Drama.⁣
⁣
Your lymphatic system is your body’s cleanup crew.⁣
It helps move excess fluid and waste products away from your tissues. Unlike your circulatory system, it doesn’t have a pump. It relies on movement, breathing, and gentle massage to keep things flowing. ⁣
⁣
That’s why facial lymphatic drainage uses such a light touch.⁣
⁣
A few minutes can help reduce the appearance of morning puffiness, especially around the eyes and jawline, while giving you a relaxing moment of selfcare.⁣
⁣
Today I’m using my ATA Applicator to support healthy lymphatic flow and give my skin a refreshed start.⁣
⁣
Question for you: Do you notice more facial puffiness in the morning or at the end of the day?

Out with the old. In with the glow.⁣
⁣
Healthy skin is constantly renewing itself, but that process slows with age. Controlled exfoliation helps remove the buildup of dead skin cells so fresh, healthier-looking skin can come to the surface.⁣
⁣
Benefits of exfoliation:⁣
• Brighter, more radiant skin⁣
• Smoother texture⁣
• More even-looking tone⁣
• Better absorption of your skincare products⁣
• A refreshed, healthy glow⁣
⁣
The goal isn’t to exfoliate more. It’s to exfoliate smarter.⁣
⁣
Wonder if you’re over-exfoliating? tell me what’s in your routine. I’d love to know.

I’d love to know… what’s the one skincare product you refuse to skip?
