As a true skincare/makeup ju**ie, I have tried it all. When you walk into my bathroom, it’s pretty obvious that I’m an Esthetician based on the stacks of crates labeled “Cleansers” “Toners” “Serums” etc…☺️ Consider me your professional tester. 😉
Here are some faves that I reach for time and time again, where to get them and how to use them. You’re welcome. 😘
✨1. Saie Super Dewy Glow Gel in Warmglow. ($29 at saie.com and sephora.com)
🌟 Especially for my 45+ girlies- get in the glow! A cool, dewy gel that hydrates and illuminates.

HOW TO USE: The possibilities are endless! For a simple lit from within glow, mix one pump with your moisturizer and apply in the morning for a gorgeous, no makeup all day glow! You can also mix it with your foundation, use it as a primer (over your sunscreen of course) or apply a bit as a highlighter (think cheekbones, temples and the inner corner of your eyes.) Going from Matte to a slightly luminous finish will easily take years off of your face. I promise. ❤️

2. Farmacy Brighten Up 3% TXA Dark Spot Toner ($34 at sephora.com)
🌟 Scared of acids? Don’t be! Exfoliate and brighten with these powerful yet gentle ingredients.

HOW TO USE: After cleansing with a gentle cleanser, apply a bit of this, letting it soak in for 2-3 minutes. After it dries, you can layer other serums, your moisturizer and your SPF!

✨ 3. Typology Paris Concealer
($36.90 at us.typology.com)
🇫🇷 If you know me, you know that I am a bit of a Francophile. This absolutely includes skincare and beauty for me. I am loving the Typology products. Beautiful botanical ingredients like Caffeine and Cornflower for de-puffing and nourishing.

HOW TO USE: After using just a dot of my Fit Glow Beauty Eyebright Color Corrector (mostly focusing on the darkness on the inside of my under-eyes) I dot a bit of Typology concealer (I use medium) under my eyes, right over the color corrector and blend it all together with a beauty blender. Can be used as an all over concealer and has a lovely radiant, hydrating finish.

Earlier this week, I had a new client and during his consultation, I asked my usual questions- one being “what brings you in for a facial today?” His answer was different than most, who ask for hydration, firming, brightness. He simply said, “I’m here because I am practicing self love.”

So here is a simple reminder for you- when you take time for yourself. When you treat yourself. You are practicing self love 💕 which only you can do.

It’s time for a treatment, honey. 🔗 in bio to book! 😘

“You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.”

From Wild Geese by Mary Oliver. ❤️

Yesterday was Scouty’s 6th Birthday 🎉🎉🎉and I just need to take a moment to celebrate her sweetness! She isn’t just another “shop dog”. She is my guest greeter, giver of kisses and #1 administrative assistant. Her calm, quiet energy adds to each session and I’m just so grateful that she is my co-worker and best buddy!! 🐶

PSA: 📣 Estheticians do it too. We mess up. We might order a certain viral Korean moisturizer touting barrier repair and end up with a rash like this! The truth is, when you get a $19 product off Amazon, you are taking bigger risks than you think. THIS is just another reason to buy clean, quality skincare from your licensed Esthetician!! ✔️

🌟A career first for me today!

My entire day consists of men getting facials. 4 customized facials for men. I’m not sure why the universe has arranged my day this way, but I am HERE FOR IT!

I love introducing men to the benefits of receiving facials and having a simple at-home routine. For most guys, the simplest shift can make a huge difference!

Major brownie points to the men who value self care rituals, know the power of a good serum and use SPF daily.
*Extra points to those who fall asleep on the table.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately. I try to educate my clients the best I can on the importance of a healthy home skincare routine, but sometimes I have that regular, who loves her facials, but skips a nighttime routine altogether. I teach clients that regular facials are 30% of their skincare. The other 70% comes from a consistent AM and PM skincare regimen. Think about that for a minute….

Proper home care creates a happy, healthy barrier which results in a more radiant complexion. It’s simple. When you are caring for your skin, it shows.

Skincare can be overwhelming and expensive, so schedule a consultation with me today- online or in person- and let’s find the perfect skincare routine for you. Link to book in bio!
