This NOT that: acne edition

Use Face Reality l-mandelic serum not Alix Earle’s mandelic serum
WHY: Face Reality’s formulation is chirally correct

Use Epicutis oil cleanser not Centella oil cleanser
WHY: Centella oil cleanser is loaded with pore cloggers

Use Glymed+ idyllic cleanser not Cerave blemish control cleanser
WHY: I like the idyllic cleanser formulation better and it never leaves my skin feeling stripped or dry

Use Glymed+ comfort cream not La Roche double repair moisturizer
WHY: The double repair moisturizer is loaded with pore cloggers

Use Face Reality powermineral spf not Cerave moisturizer + SPF
WHY: you do not get the same spf protection using a combined moisturizer & sunscreen, you need those two products to be separate. Mineral sunscreens are amazing for acne prone skin.

Use Colorescience bronze spf not Drunk Elephants bronzing drops
WHY: Drunk Elephant bronzing drops are loaded with pore cloggers

Use Clean Skin Club makeup wipes not Neutrogena makeup wipes
WHY: Neutrogena makeup wipes disturb our skins PH & can be harmful to our skin barrier

Use Clean Skin Club towels not hand towels
WHY: Your towels at home harbor bacteria over time

Use Epicutis lipid recovery mask not Biodance collagen mask
WHY: Biodance masks only hydrate on the surface, the lipid masks have superior technology and formulations that deeply hydrate beneath the surface

Use Cymbiotika Vitamin C pouches not EmergenC packets
WHY: EmergenC packets are loaded with biotin which is a huge acne trigger

Happy National Aesthetician Day!! 🦋

I have never felt so fulfilled in a career. It’s so much more than a facial. Aestheticians care, listen, share, nurture, educate and partner with their clients. It’s never a one time interaction. I have the privilege to create a safe space for my clients to relax, breathe and prioritize themselves. I’m so thankful God led me to this industry! Ask me 5 years ago, I never would have guessed this would be my dream and I would fall in LOVE with it.

To my clients— Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for letting me in your world! I think about you (all the time😆) and always look forward to catching up, debriefing on how our months have been. It’s such an honor to make you feel empowered and educated on your skin! Also giving you a glow you are obsessed with.. 🙂‍↕️

Special shoutout to all my fellow esthies! You are the best!

The treatment & the result ✨

Clear Skin Peel 1 is the perfect start to an acne peel series! Once my first time acne clients have received a hydrating enzyme treatment & have started to incorporate their custom homecare regimens, I know their skin is prepped and ready for peels!

This chemical peel is where I start, because it contains a lower percentage of chemical exfoliants. As we continue on our acne maintenance journey the peels gradually increase in strength!

Key ingredients:
🤍 5% TCA — exfoliating acid, reducing acne & uneven pigmentation
🤍 5% l-mandelic acid — antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal & brightening
🤍 5% l-lactic acid — exfoliating, reducing hyperpigmentation
🤍 potassium azeloyl diglycinate — derivative of azelaic acid, supporting hydration & reducing hyperpigmentation
🤍 diglucosyl gallic acid — helps slow / stop new pigmentation from forming, reducing current discoloration and preventing inflammation

This is your sign to start your acne maintenance journey today! Click to link in my bio to partner with me 🦋
