Remember, when you clean your face, you want to clean the skin.

When you don’t remove your makeup and SPF first, you’re not truly cleaning your skin. When you do this first, you will see a massive difference in the end result!

are very misunderstood products.

I use toners differently in the studio, prepping clients for a treatment, but at home, the primary purpose of toners is to correct the pH of the skin. Our skin is naturally acidic, but after cleansing, it becomes alkaline, so we want to restore it to its proper pH.

Now, a toner may have an exfoliating property, a hydrating property, a brightening property, or a firming property. So that's where your esthetician can help advise on the correct toner for you.

I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could name 10 different things that vitamin A (retinol!) does for the skin. So here we go!

If you have rough, dry, problematic skin (or even normal skin!), then you need Environ’s Night Cream.

I love this product for even rosacea or acne skin because while we want to exfoliate the skin, we also need to hydrate it because you don’t want to strip an inflamed skin barrier.

Night Cream contains 5% glycolic acid in a very moisturizing emollient formula that helps transform the skin overnight. And after using it two to three nights a week, it will help eliminate any rough texture, calm inflammation, hydrate, and desensitize the skin

You simply cocktail it with your other vitamin-based protocol, or you apply a thin layer and then put your products on top.

I always carry multiple lip balms with me because when I travel because the lip tissue dries out.

For the plane, I love the lip balm from Osmosis. It's a traditional wax-based lip balm, simple and effective.

For the day, I love Anfisa's Berry Crumble. It has a slight color and is like skincare for your lips. It’s super nourishing

At night, I wear the Peptide Lip Oil from Fig. 1. You can find this brand at the drugstore - it's phenomenal.

My nighttime skincare routine when I’m traveling is also simplified.

I love Forlle’d’s pre-cleansing oil, Clearance Cleansing, because it’s important to remove any SPF or makeup before using a cleanser (I use their Re-Purerance cleanser).

I of course use vitamin A, but when I’m traveling, I use my secondary retinoid as my primary. The little sample packets are just more convenient (even though my C-Quence bottle is TSA-friendly).

I use Skinbetter Science’s Overnight AlphaRet Cream. It has the type of vitamin A or retinoid that's available as a prescription, so it's a little bit more active on the skin, and it is coupled with lactic and glycolic acid to help resurface the skin. You can only use this form at night due to the actives. Unlike the ester forms of vitamin A, it makes the skin sensitive to the sun!

I don't like to bring a lot of products when I travel, but I prioritize my key products with vitamin A.

I love Forlle’d’s pre-cleansing oil, Clearance Cleansing, because it’s important to remove any SPF or makeup before using a cleanser (I use their Re-Purerance cleanser).

For a toner, I use Forlle'd's Refining Lotion. It's like a precursor to putting on your skincare products. This is so hydrating. It sets the stage and helps all of your other products pe*****te.

For vitamins, I use Skinbetter Science’s vitamin C serum Alto Defense, and to keep it simple, I use the Body Oil from Environ (instead of my usual C-Quence) because it contains vitamins A, C, and E in ester form, so it's sun-protective.

For moisturizer, I use Forlle'd's Nourishing Cream. It has a slight lifting effect that is much appreciated.

I also bring DermaLac from Environ to use with the Body Oil, and to regenerate, hydrate, exfoliate, and repair the skin on my body.

I’ll put on SPF, and then I spritz the Anti-Pollution spray from Environ throughout the day, which is full of antioxidants.

I recently participated in a two-day Neurotris microcurrent training event in West Palm Florida. Microcurrent uses extremely low-level electrical currents that are similar to your body's own bio-electrical signals.⁠
⁠
The currents stimulate ATP production, which boosts cellular activity and muscle tone, for a natural lift and increased circulation, giving you a healthy glow.⁠

Microcurrent uses extremely low-level electrical currents that are similar to your body's own bio-electrical signals.

Most clients describe a gentle tingle, a soft buzzing or warmth, or sometimes no sensation at all. That's because the currents stimulate ATP production, which boosts cellular activity and muscle tone. Clients often say it feels like a light muscle massage or workout for the face.

Think of it like tiny electrical cues waking up dormant muscle fibers, encouraging natural tone and lift, and increasing circulation for a healthy glow! Right after a session, clients report a brighter, lifted look, better muscle tone, and improved skin texture!

Microcurrent is designed to be gentle yet effective. There's no downtime, so you can return to your day immediately!

If you are feeling a little blah, your skin is congested and dull, and you’ve noticed you’re not eliminating properly, you might need a reset.

The skin is the largest organ, and it's just a mirror of what's going on in the body. So when we have too much sugar, dairy, gluten, and alcohol, we have to recalibrate. When I want to help detox, clarify, and reset my entire body, I do a 14-day cleanse. And you can do this without starving yourself!

First, we want to address the gut. We want to make sure we eliminate every single day. And so to do that, obviously, you're going to drink water, but I like the Skin Aid from Osmosis because it has vitamin A to support your gut microbiome, psyllium husk, and some herbs to help make sure things are moving along in the colon.

Then we want to ensure the microbiome in our gut is strong, healthy, and balanced. That's where the Skin Clarifier comes in. This herbal cleanse is designed to help reestablish the microbiome. If there's too much good and bad bacteria, you might start breaking out in areas all over your face, even on your body. This is amazing for anyone with skin irregularities such as psoriasis, eczema, rashes, itchiness, or congestion.

Now, if you are experiencing acne, breakouts, or any redness on the face that you don't normally get, I would introduce a topical. Rescue MD helps address all types of skin inflammation and can be used morning and night.

Together, this combination supports the gut-skin connection, building resilient skin from within. I try to do this once a quarter. It makes the skin glow and radiant. You’re definitely going to look better, and most importantly, you're going to feel better.

How can you boost the results of your skincare routine? I love the retinol series from Environ to optimize the health of your skin, reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation, and increase tone and vitality.

Environ’s Retinol 1 combines two ester forms of vitamin A, which can build up in the skin and are non-irritating, with retinol, which doesn't build up in the skin. These three powerhouse forms of vitamin A rejuvenate the skin and address hydration, wrinkles, fine lines, acne, pigment, you name it.

Their level 2 is called Retinol Forte. It has all the same ingredients, but in higher amounts, as well as plant-based ingredients that help prevent the breakdown of the active form of vitamin A in your skin, called retinoic acid.

I love this formula because it is more skin-friendly than traditional retinol, and it gives the skin an immediate glow!
