Refined by Riley

So excited to introduce Linder Health peels to the studio!

A new approach to chemical peels that prioritizes healthier skin, less inflammation, and minimal downtime. Whether we’re targeting breakouts, discoloration, or texture, I’m so excited to offer these treatments!

Swipe to meet the lineup! ✨

A little acne tip I recommend all the time! 🤍

Icing can be such a simple way to soothe an inflamed breakout, especially when you’re tempted to pick at it.

A few skincare opinions I have that might ruffle some feathers 🤭

These are just a few things I feel strongly about as an esthetician and acne specialist. Curious to hear which ones you agree (or disagree) with!

Weekends are for slowing down, recharging, and romanticizing the little things☁️

Happy National Esthetician Day! 🤍

Feeling extra grateful today for a career that I feel so lucky to call mine.

It’s pretty special to think that my own struggles with my skin are what ultimately led me to a career where I now get to help others navigate theirs. What started as wanting to understand my own skin has turned into something I’m so passionate about, and I couldn’t be more grateful that it brought me here.

This year has brought so much growth and change. We said goodbye to room 123 and hello to a new space that I’ve been pouring so much love into, creating a beautiful and welcoming environment for all of you (with all the natural light I’ve always dreamed of 🥹).

And the year isn’t over yet! There are still a few exciting changes on the horizon, including a new service that I can’t wait to introduce.

More than anything, I want to say thank you. To every person who has trusted me with their skin, referred a friend, or supported my business in any way, I’m endlessly grateful. Having experienced my own skin struggles, I know how personal that journey can be, and it’s something I never take lightly.

Here’s to another year of doing what I love!

Shaving + acne-prone skin 🪒🤍

Your shaving habits can play a bigger role in breakouts, irritation, and ingrown hairs than you might think!

The good news? You don’t necessarily need additional products. Your current skincare routine may already have everything you need for a better shave.

BEFORE + DURING SHAVING 🫧

Gentle cleansers:
• Face Reality Barrier Balance Creamy Cleanser
• Face Reality Ultra Gentle Gel Cleanser
• Hydrinity Prelude

Exfoliating options:
• Face Reality Antioxidant Scrub
• Face Reality L-Mandelic Wash

Shaving products:
• up&up Sensitive Skin Fragrance-Free Shave Gel
• Vanicream Shave Cream

AFTER SHAVING 🌿

Post-shave products:
• Hydrinity Hyacyn Active
• SIV Biome
• Baxter of California After Shave Balm

Additional options:
• Hydrating and calming serums to soothe and replenish the skin
• A lightweight, acne-safe moisturizer to support the skin barrier and minimize dryness or irritation

A little reminder: These are options, not products you need to use together! Your gentle cleanser or shaving cream may be all you need. Exfoliating scrubs and active cleansers should be used strategically based on your skin’s tolerance, rather than combined in the same shaving session. If your skin is irritated, skip the exfoliation altogether.

Everyone’s skin is different, and your shaving routine should reflect that!

Not sure which products to use or how to incorporate shaving into your current routine? Send me a message! I’m always happy to help you make adjustments that work for your skin. 🤍

June is Acne Awareness Month 🤍

Acne is something I’ve struggled with for as long as I can remember. I know firsthand how frustrating, overwhelming, and isolating it can feel.

That’s why I’m passionate about helping others understand that acne is not a reflection of your hygiene, worth, or effort. It’s a complex skin condition that deserves education, support, and a personalized approach.

If there’s one thing I hope you take away from this post, it’s that you are not alone, and clear skin is possible with the right plan.

What’s in my beach bag as an esthetician?

You already know SPF is non-negotiable. My beach bag is packed with sunscreen, SPF touch-up options, a hat, sunglasses, and a few skincare essentials to keep my skin happy in the Florida sun.

Beach packing list:
☀️ Broad-spectrum SPF 30+ for the body:
i have been loving the spray spf or the mouse is divine
☀️ SPF for reapplication: the colorescience brush on is great for this and don’t forget its perfect for the scalp!!!
☀️ SPF lip balm: I love using the colorescience colorebalms on my cheeks and lips for that added color. (Berry, pink sky and savanna are my favorite shades)
☀️ Facial mist and toner to help rehydrate post beach and balance the skins ph after sweating. Depending on your skin I love c*d mist and their skin revovery mist, and or hyacyn mist to kill that bad bacteria.
☀️ A wide-brim hat of any kind
☀️ Sunglasses
☀️ A good book or Kindle

Your reminder that protecting your skin doesn’t mean avoiding the beach—it just means being smart about it. 😉
