From dull and congested to clear and glowing!

Virtual client results after one year of skin care maintenance on my virtual program.

Would you like to be my Virtual Client?

Do you wish you could talk to someone knowledgeable about your skin concerns?

I am a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, and a Master Esthetician in Washington state. I've been working with skin for 18 years and nutrition for 11 years. I work wholistically with nutrition and the skin, using a whole body approach to find the root cause of your skin condition.

How does a Virtual Consultation work?

I will send you an intake form, and you will fill it out and return it to me, along with 3 pictures of your area of concern.

We will cover and discuss your genetics, lifestyle, diet, health, supplements & medications, and more. We will review your current products and discuss how they are affecting your skin. And we will discuss your goals, expectations, and budget.

When I have sufficient information, I will write a comprehensive assessment for you with recommendations for all aspects that may be having an affect on your skin.

I will offer a new or revised product regimen based on your skin condition and need. Skincare products can be shipped to you directly or I can refer you to online sources depending on which country you are located in. Yes, I do take international clients, but product recommendations will be different than USA based clients.

I will be accessible to you for follow up questions at no extra charge for as long as you need (be reasonable).

Virtual Consultations cost $199.

To get started, go to my website and click the Virtual Consultation link under the Services tab.

Looking forward to working with you!

Cleansing skin with oil cleansers is not the same thing as using the internet oil cleansing method.

The internet oil cleansing method is not actually CLEANSING your skin. It's more of a moisturizing treatment. A lot like a hot oil treatment for your hair.

Rubbing oil around your face does not remove dirt. Removing dirt requires a surfactant. A surfactant is a molecule, not unlike a phospholipid molecule, which attaches its tails to the dirt, and its head to the water, which is how dirt gets washed away.

Standard oil cleansing, and often commercial oil cleansers, do not contain surfactants, so there is no way for the dirt attached to the oil to be washed away.

Additionally, many of the oils used in internet oil cleansing, or in commercial oil cleansing products, use comedogenic oils.

Do not use oil cleansers with olive oil, avocado oil, almond oil, or other comedogenic oils if you have True Acne.

Likewise do not use oil cleansers with high oleic acid sunflower oil, but instead look for natural sunflower oil. Natural sunflower oil is high in linoleic acid which is beneficial to acneic skin which is lacking in linoleic acid. High oleic acid oil is comedogenic.

Oil cleansing with a correctly formulated oil cleanser can repair damaged barriers, and can balance acneic skin, as well unclog pores.

A correctly formulated oil cleanser does not need a second cleanse to remove. Apply to dry skin and massage to loosen clogged pores. Add water to emulsify and massage again. Then rinse with a wet washcloth.

Facial Microcurrent is a safe, painless, non-surgical, non-invasive cosmetic procedure that helps tone, lift and firm sagging facial muscles back to their original position and shape.

Microcurrent can be used for various targeted treatments. Microcurrent can help to lift and depuff the eye area, it can be used to lift and tone the face, it can target specific areas of need, and it can be used to help revitalize aging and sun damaged hands.

Microcurrent can be incorporated into a treatment facial, or it can be done as a stand-alone treatment, for each individual area.

What are the benefits of Facial Microcurrent?

•It helps improve the health and appearance of the skin.

•It tightens and firms aging skin.

•It helps tone the muscles on the face and neck.

•It also helps lift sagging eyebrows and jowls.

•It helps reduce and eliminate fine lines and wrinkles.

•It stimulates the production of collagen in the skin.

•It helps heal scars & blemishes, giving skin a healthy glow.

I would love to introduce you to all my microcurrent treatments.

Did you know that a superficial peel can take off the whole epidermis down to the dermal epidermal junction (DEJ)? 😳

How deep, chemical peels (acids) will pe*****te, depends on which acid is used, its concentration, pH, and the time it is left on the skin.

Superficial peels are able to remove ALL or part of the epidermis, medium-depth peels can remove layers of the epidermis and small portions of the dermis which means they pass through the DEJ, and a deep peel reaches the reticular dermis which is the lower layer of the dermis.

This is essentially tearing the roof off of your house! In the winter, when cold weather sucks the moisture right out of your skin!

Let's think about this. Your epidermis contains your immune system cells, the langerhans cells. It contains your protective layer, the lipid bilayer/lamellar layer. These two things work together to keep your skin healthy and functioning optimally.

When you peel the skin down to the DEJ, or even just to the granular layer, you are peeling off the protective bilayer that holds in moisture that fuels the enzymes of the skin.

When the corneal layer and the lipid bilayer/lamellar layer are peeled off this is like tearing the shingles off your roof in the middle of winter. These layers are your skin's protection against moisture loss.

Without these protective layers your langerhans cells, your skin's immune system cells, the scouts on the lookout for invaders, get scared and dive down into the dermis looking for protection.

Not only that but you've lost cell to cell communication between the keratinocyte and the langerhans cells, as well as the basal cells. Now, not only won't the langerhans cells know if there are any dangerous germs landing on the "roofless" skin, but the basal layer won't know how many new keratinocytes to make.

Everybody goes into red alert and the aging dermis has to step up and start repairing the damage.

It's troubling to see everyone jump on the peel wagon the minute the weather turns cold. Winter is absolutely not the time to peel off the skin's only protection.

Peels should not be considered a seasonal treatment, but a treatment by need only.

Transformation Time: My husband's incredible journey!

Six years ago, he was struggling with bloating & weight gain, despite my best efforts to provide healthy meals. He was overconsuming beer & processed foods, which exacerbated his celiac symptoms. Fast forward to today, & he's achieved an impressive 70-pound weight loss!

The key to his success? Quitting alcohol cold turkey & adopting a more mindful approach to eating. By focusing on a whole food, meat-heavy diet & reducing other carbs & glutenous foods, he's reduced inflammation & bloating over the last 3 years. I attribute this success to the anti-inflammatory effects of a meat-heavy diet, which can be a game-changer for digestive health.

As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, I believe understanding digestion is key to optimal health. When we know how our bodies process different foods, we can make informed choices that support our unique needs. Meat is rich in nutrients & can be easily digested, reducing bloating & discomfort.

If you're looking to take control of your digestive health, consider scheduling a Nutritional Therapy Assessment with me. Together, we'll develop a personalized plan to support your health goals. DM me to get started!

I read some interesting information about psych meds causing brain injury resulting in more anxiety than before taking the drugs.
😵‍💫
What most people don't know (& the docs will never tell you) is that a lot of anxiety comes from massive amounts of stress which then disrupts digestive ability which causes more anxiety. But instead of trying natural remedies, docs put people on drugs that cause more harm.
💊
So what are natural remedies to reduce anxiety?
🌿
1. Sleep, get more, sleep longer, no guilt.
2. Go outside, breath the air, look at nature, sit, walk, enjoy.
3. Go barefoot, inside, outside, feel the grass/dirt, feel your floor/carpet, wiggle your toes.
4. Breathe, deeply, diaphragmatically, rhythmically, add aromatherapy.
5. Eat bitter foods, they stimulate digestion which is calming.
6. Eat more fat (not oil), it is satiating & calming.
7. Eat more protein, it sustains balanced energy which is calming.
8. Reduce/eliminate starchy carbs & fake sugars which create nervous energy.
9. Be thankful/grateful for every little thing you see, it will create a positive attitude which will reduce stress.
10. Eliminate the source of stress, whether it be people or situations, if that's not possible, go back to #1.
😴
Do the best you can. You don't need drugs. You just have to dig deep to make changes. 🙏❤️

A Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) is a *practitioner* who uses *nutrition* as *therapy*.

Nutritional Therapy supports the body's innate ability to heal by addressing the importance of nutrient-dense food, lifestyle choices, culinary wellness, and how social and personal choices influence health.

Nutritional Therapy centers on the idea that real health can be achieved through a holistic and bio-individual approach to nutrition and lifestyle. Many of modern society’s health problems result from poor nutrition, which weakens the body’s physiological foundations.

There is no one-size-fits-all diet. Each person’s body is unique and needs the foods and nutrients best suited to it to support balance and function.

Nutritional Therapy may help to alleviate a wide range of conditions and support recovery from those conditions using food and, where appropriate, dietary supplements.

Nutritional Therapy Practitioners provide private consultations. Their treatment methods can include vitamins, food avoidance, lifestyle guidance, and other supplements. They can also help you learn how to shop for nutrient dense foods, and they can help you sort through the foods you currently have by teaching you how to read food labels.

A Nutritional Therapy Practitioner is NOT a "Nutritionist" or a Registered Dietitian. They cannot create a diet plan or diagnose an illness.

Nutritional Therapy for digestive complaints, related skin conditions, and lifestyle and nutrition changes is now being offered at Integrity Skin Care & Wellness.

We can see you in person or virtually.

Understanding aging is about understanding the way the dermis and the epidermis function together.

It's simple physiology. Skin slows down as you get older, and you cannot force it to work faster, just because YOU want it to.

Both parts of your skin are reliant on each other to function optimally. And when one is depleted, the other suffers.

Here's how it works: Your dermis thins at the rate of 1% a year from age of 25. So, as the dermis thins, the epidermal cells slow down and thicken to keep the dermis protected.

The dermis is continually thinning because of age, UVR exposure, poor nutrient diet, and a host of other things that exhaust its energy and resources.

Along comes you and your chemical peel, your scrubs, microdermabrasion, and dermapeeling. You peel off the stratum corneum, the granular layer, and often into the spiny layer of the epidermis, or possibly even down to the DEJ (dermal epidermal junction).

You just peeled off the immune system communication cells, the protective bilayer (which is made from all the fish oil you have been taking, and which holds in all the moisture your skin enzymes need to function), your vitamin D stores, the protective shield to the pigment cells, and living cells that were creating a healthy, tight, barrier to the outside world which allows the dermis to thrive.

The epidermis never recovers 100% after an exfoliation with acids, scrubs, microdermabrasion, or dermaplaning.

Now, because the epidermis has no blood supply, the dermis has to reallocate some of its dwindling resources to the epidermis to repair the damage. This takes away nutrition and energy that the dermis would have used to keep itself functioning and healthy. THIS is called AGING.

Keeping the integrity of the epidermis, with tight-fitting, healthy skin cells is the foundation to alleviate, not only the signs of aging, but also the onset of various skin conditions that are exacerbated by a thin, loose, unhealthy, epidermis.

Electrolysis requires regular consistent treatments to be effective.

Consistency is key.

Three years of consistent treatments went from 1 hour per week in the beginning, to 15 minutes per month now.

Consistency pays off.

The skin care mistake most people make is...

Not using a washcloth to wash their face.

A washcloth does NOT harbor bacteria! You are literally washing the cloth with soap every time you wash your face!🤦‍♀️
Just rinse it thoroughly and hang it to dry after each use.

If regular washcloths feel too rough, then buy some baby washcloths, or microfiber cloths. There's no excuse.

Don't BUFF your face with it, just gently massage all areas of your face, focusing on the areas that tend to clog more, like nose and chin.

Daily washcloth use is gentle exfoliation that only removes flaky skin that is ready to come off. It's as gentle as an enzyme and not as harsh as an acid.

A washcloth is able to remove dirt and grime that your fingers can't. Your fingers just push the dirt around your face. A washcloth gets it off your face.

Stop making this simple mistake and start washing with a washcloth. Your skin will start glowing.
