Naked Alchemy

What hydration looked like in your 20s and early 30s is not what it looks like at 35 and up.

Your skin changes. Period.

Estrogen drops, oil production slows, and that cushion your skin used to have?
Yeah… it’s not showing up the same way anymore.

So the lightweight, “this used to work fine” hydration?

It’s not cutting it now.

And this is where people get stuck
because they keep doing the same routine, expecting different results.

Now we’re talking real support
hydrating serums, lipid-rich formulas, peptides, ceramides, moisturizers that are actually built for aging skin.

And I’m just going to say it
yes, it’s usually more expensive.

Because you’re not just moisturizing anymore
you’re trying to support a barrier that doesn’t function the same way it used to.

What worked for me in my early 30s?
Does absolutely nothing for me now.

And that’s not your skin “failing” you
that’s just how physiology works.

Heyyy… it’s been a minute.

I’ve been kind of quiet over here, trying to figure out where life is pulling me next.

And I think I finally have some clarity.

I’m not in the studio anymore, but I’m still working with skin, just in a different way.

I’m shifting into working with clients virtually, with a focus on aging and menopausal skin.

Because honestly… there’s a huge gap in education around what’s actually happening to our skin during this phase, and I see it all the time.

So this feels like the right direction for me.

More to come… but I’m really excited about this shift.

Time to TREAT yourself! 🎃💆🏻💆🏽‍♀️💆🏼‍♀️💆🏽👻

I want to start by saying this. The love I have felt from you over the years has been unreal. You kept Naked Alchemy alive for almost a decade. Almost a decade of growth and chaos and glow ups. I have celebrated your best days with you. I have held space for you on your worst ones. We have laughed. We have cried. We have trauma bonded over extractions and questionable life choices. You let me into your world in a way most people never get to witness. Oddly enough, you saw me through some of my hardest moments too. I never expected to gain an entire extended family when I opened this little studio, yet here you are.

I will miss the vent sessions that turned into therapy without credentials. I will miss the ADHD conversations that always started with skincare and ended with planning someone’s hypothetical escape from their situationship (yes, I am looking at you). I will miss reminding you that men ain’t s**t unless they prove otherwise. I will miss being your hype girl, your secret keeper, and the one person who would never judge you for showing up on four hours of sleep with last night’s mascara still hanging on for dear life.

Now the real talk. My life is shifting in ways I can no longer ignore. My health needs consistency. My family needs more of me. My body said stop before the burnout eats the rest of me alive. So Naked Alchemy will be closing its studio within the next few months. It hurts to say it. It also feels like the first honest inhale I have taken in a long time.

If you are on my books you are still taken care of. Facials, waxing, brows, product support, all of it continues until we officially close.

When everything shut down in 2020 we learned that great skin does not require a treatment room to thrive. Virtual coaching became a game changer for a lot of us and I realized just how much support can happen through a screen. So here is the pivot. I am not walking away from skin. I am taking everything I know and putting it where I can make the most impact. Menopause and hormone shifts show up on our skin in very real ways and most people are not talking about it honestly. I am shifting into fully virtual skincare coaching with a focus on menopausal skin and the changes that actually show up in the mirror. Acne clients, you are still my people too. I am just pausing new acne clients for now so I can show up fully for those already on this ride.

You will still get real results, real support, and real answers. The only thing that changes is the address. No more waxing strips near your ass. You are welcome.

Thank you for letting me be part of your story. Thank you for trusting me with your face and your feelings. Thank you for every silent forehead kiss moment when life was too heavy and you just needed a facial and someone who gets it. This was never just a business. It became a community. It became a safe place. It became home.

You are my people. I love you. We are not done. We are just pivoting. Together.
