you did your entire skincare routine…

and now it’s rolling off your face in tiny little pieces🙃

let’s talk about skincare pilling.

those little product “crumbs” don’t necessarily mean your skin is dry or that you need to exfoliate. sometimes, your products just aren’t layering nicely together.

a few things that can contribute:

- using more product than you need
- layering several products too quickly
- certain formulas not playing well together
- rubbing each layer in too aggressively
- applying makeup before your skincare has had a chance to settle

try using thinner layers, giving each product a little time to absorb and gently pressing your products into the skin instead of endlessly rubbing.

because your skincare belongs on your face…

not rolled into tiny little balls on your bathroom counter.

my favorite part of being an esthetician has surprisingly little to do with skincare🫧

don’t get me wrong, i love learning about skin, trying new treatments and seeing the progress that can come from taking care of it.

but one of my favorite parts of this job is getting to create a little space in someone’s day where they don’t have to do anything.

you can come in, get comfortable, close your eyes and just be taken care of for a little while.

sometimes we talk the entire appointment.

sometimes you fall asleep.

sometimes you just want to lay there quietly and enjoy having nowhere else you need to be for the next hour.

and i genuinely love all of it.

of course i want you to leave loving how your skin looks & feels, but i also hope you leave feeling a little more relaxed than when you walked in🤍

that part of my job will never get old.

skin school📖🤍

does your entire skincare routine need to be from the same brand?

short answer: no!

your cleanser, toner, serums, moisturizer + SPF don’t all need to have matching labels in order to make a good skincare routine.

what matters more is whether the products are appropriate for your skin, support your individual goals and work well together.

in fact, mixing brands can sometimes make perfect sense! you might love the cleanser from one line, prefer a serum from another and find that a completely different moisturizer works best for your skin.

the bigger thing to pay attention to is what’s actually in your products.

when you start mixing multiple active ingredients without realizing it, you can accidentally end up overdoing things - especially when it comes to exfoliating acids, retinoids & other more active formulas.
so no, your skincare shelf doesn’t have to match.

a good routine isn’t about brand loyalty. it’s about choosing products intentionally and making sure they make sense together for your skin🤍

be honest…when was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes?

if your answer is “i actually don’t remember,” this is your reminder😂

our makeup brushes and sponges repeatedly come into contact with our skin, makeup, oils & whatever else they pick up along the way - which is why cleaning them regularly is an easy habit worth adding to your routine.

for brushes, use a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water, keeping the base of the bristles as dry as possible. gently work out the makeup, rinse thoroughly, reshape the bristles and lay them flat to dry.

and don’t forget about your beauty sponges! wash them regularly and make sure they’re able to dry completely between uses.

clean tools won’t magically give you perfect skin, but keeping the things that regularly touch your face clean is always a good habit🤍

a little skincare reminder: your routine doesn’t have to stop at your jawline.

when you’re applying your everyday skincare, don’t forget about your neck & chest!

these areas are regularly exposed to things like sunlight and environmental stressors too, but they’re so easy to forget when we’re focused on taking care of our face.

a few simple habits can go a long way:

✨ extend your moisturizer down your neck & chest
☀️ don’t forget spf on exposed skin
🤍 treat these areas gently - the skin can be more delicate than you think

and before bringing stronger actives down your neck or chest, check the directions for your specific product and introduce them carefully.

what your face tolerates well may not always feel the same on these areas!

your skincare doesn’t need to end at your chin.

give your neck + chest a little love, too🤍

your esthetician

okay, you can only pick ONE…

✨ a professional facial every month
✨ your dream skincare routine - completely free
✨ never have a breakout again
✨ wake up with perfectly glowing skin every morning

which one are you choosing?!

and no, “all of the above” is not an option. 😂🤍

a little bit of the esthetician life you don’t always see🤍

fresh towels, sanitizing & disinfecting, prepping products, checking client notes, cleaning up between appointments…and probably doing another load of laundry somewhere in between!

there’s a lot that happens before and after you’re actually on my treatment table, but there’s something so satisfying about getting everything reset, clean and ready for the next person.

a lot of the little things happen behind the scenes, but they’re all part of making sure you can simply show up, get comfortable & enjoy your appointment.

skin school📖🤍

do your pores actually open & close?

nope! despite what we’ve all heard, pores don’t have muscles that allow them to physically open and close.

so why does it sometimes seem like they do?
heat and steam can help soften the buildup of oil and debris on the skin, which can make extractions easier, but they aren’t actually “opening” your pores.

and cold water? it may temporarily make the skin feel tighter, but it isn’t closing your pores either.

the appearance of your pores can be influenced by things like genetics, oil production, congestion, age + sun damage and while we can help minimize their appearance, we can’t erase them completely.

and we wouldn’t want to! pores are a normal and necessary part of your skin🤍

so next time you hear “steam opens your pores”...

you’ll know the truth.
