Polk Apothecary

Just because we know how to do it doesn’t mean we want to do it on ourselves 😂👏🏾 Service providers like to book appointments, get pampered, and be on the other side of the treatment table too!

Come with me to get my Brazilian wax with my girl Lupe at Lupe Zuniga , located inside Bluefoot Healing in St. Johns. She used soft wax on me and the whole experience was a 10/10 ✨

And I LOVE supporting other estheticians. There’s room for all of us to eat, grow, and keep each other booked. 🤎

If you’re in Portland and looking for your next wax girl, go check Lupe out and tell her Morgan sent you! 🫶🏾

A year of consistency, trust, and trusting the process. 🥹✨

sat down with me during her to talk about where her skin started, the treatments that made the biggest difference, and what her experience with Polk Apothecary has been like over the past year.

Because sometimes the best way to explain what I do is to let my clients tell you themselves. 🤎

Y’all will do EVERYTHING to get rid of dark marks except put the damn sunscreen on. 😭😂

Serums, peels, facials, treatments… meanwhile SPF is sitting at home untouched.

Protect the progress you’re paying for, boo. 😂☀️

Okay, so what exactly IS the OrganoPEEL®?

Basically, instead of using acids like a traditional chemical peel, we’re using herbs that are worked into the skin to speed up skin renewal — aka getting that old, damaged skin up outta here so healthier skin can come through.

And these herbs are actually doing something:

🌿 Hydrolyzed Sponge — speeds up skin turnover + helps with dark marks, acne scars & texture
🌿 Chlorella — helps with firmness + skin repair
🌿 Spirulina — calms inflammation + packed with antioxidants
🌿 Horsetail — smooths texture + supports collagen
🌿 Fenugreek — soothing + great for acne-prone skin
🌿 Aloe Vera — hydrates + calms the skin
🌿 Marshmallow — soothes + supports your skin barrier

And YES, baby… you gon PEEL. 😂 But the process isn’t over after the peeling, the herbs keep working beneath the skin to brighten dark marks, acne scarring, uneven texture, tone and overall skin health.

Natural doesn’t mean it can’t put in WORK. These herbs came with a JOB to do. 😂🌿

I promise I’m not ignoring you, I’m just locked in 😂

There’s something so satisfying about properly clearing congestion and getting those pores CLEAN without damaging the skin in the process.

If you’ve been fighting clogged pores, blackheads, or stubborn congestion at home… it might be time to let a professional handle it. 👀

I know it’s tempting. We’ve all been there.

But when you keep squeezing a breakout that isn’t ready, your skin isn’t just healing acne anymore… it’s healing the trauma from being picked at too.

If you’ve already done it or are thinking about it, here’s what to do next:

• Stop touching it.
• Ice it for 5–10 minutes to calm the inflammation (repeat over next few days if necessary)
• Keep your routine simple with a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF.
• Leave the acids and exfoliants alone until the skin has healed.
• Once it’s fully healed, treatments like chemical peels or microneedling may help improve any dark marks or scarring.

🚨RULE:

If you’ve squeezed it twice and nothing comes out, LEAVE. IT. ALONE.

Your skin is telling you it’s not ready, and every extra squeeze increases your chances of hyperpigmentation and scarring.

Your goal isn’t to win the battle with the pimple today. Your goal is healthy skin tomorrow. 🤎

Have you ever turned one breakout into a bigger problem by picking at it? Be honest… we’ve all done it. 😂

If you’ve ever apologized before a Brazilian, this one’s for you. 🤎

Your body isn’t “bad,” and your hair isn’t “too much.” No one should ever make you feel like you need to apologize for the way your body naturally grows hair.

Have you ever been made to feel embarrassed before a wax? Tell me your experience below. 👇🏽

If you’re looking for a judgment-free waxer who welcomes every body and every hair texture, I’d love to have you on my table. ✨

Your esthetician can clear your skin and clear the dance floor. 💅🏾😂

I think sometimes people expect their esthetician to be serious 24/7, but baby... I’m a real person. I love what I do, I take your skin seriously, and I’m always learning so I can give you the best results. But outside the treatment room? I’m traveling, laughing, dancing, making memories, and living life too.

When you book with me, you’re not walking into a cold, intimidating spa. You’re walking into a safe space where we can talk, laugh, vent, be quiet if you want, and still get your skin together.

Professional? Absolutely.
Personality? Every single time.

Because around here... we do results and good vibes. 🤎✨
