Skin Nutritious Holistic acne skincare by esthetician, nutritionist, and acne warrior, Elise May, CN+LE

Skin Nutritious was founded following a decade long journey to discover a natural, holistic approach to clearing painful, acne-prone skin. We incorporate evidenced-based learning about the body’s systems and processes and the impact of diet and nutrition on the body’s largest organ, the skin. By approaching acne from a multi-disciplinary standpoint that involves dietary instruction, lifestyle changes, and solid skincare advice, we can help you achieve clear skin. Even if you’ve been told you just have “bad genes.”

In addition to individualized client education, Skin Nutritious offers a range of rigorously tested, non-comedogenic skincare designed to be 100% acne-safe and non-toxic, no harsh chemicals in sight.

Winter skin got you feeling tight, flaky, and dull? ❄️
Meet your new cold weather BFF: Jojoba Glow Moisturizer ✨
This whipped jojoba cream is the thickest, most nourishing moisturizer I’ve ever found that won’t break you out. Yes, you read that right—deep hydration WITHOUT clogged pores or product acne.

🌟 Why it’s perfect for winter:

* Melts right into your skin for serious hydration
* 100% whipped jojoba oil (mimics your skin’s natural sebum!)
* Non-comedogenic & acne-safe
* Soothes dryness without the breakout risk

Most thick winter creams are loaded with pore-clogging ingredients. This? Pure whipped jojoba goodness. Nothing else.

Pro tip: Layer it on at night when winter air is stealing all your moisture. Wake up glowing! ✨

Your dry winter skin is begging for this.

Today on my 40th birthday, the universe delivered an amazing gift… keys to my new San Francisco office space at 1801 Bush St near Japantown!!

I have visioned this for years, never really knowing if it would come true. Finding small, beautiful space in the city is hard, but it’s finally here 💓💓💓

The building is so beautiful, I’m stunned by it. You literally have to walk through a private courtyard garden of Eden to get inside. A nature cleanse before entering 🌺

I’ll be opening the doors for clients here starting Feb 6th. Can’t wait to create a beautiful clinic inside that matches the outside. See you in there! 😇😇😇

It is skincare that takes whole body health into account.

Every skincare product is made consciously, with a focus on non-toxic, natural, and acne fighting ingredients.

I created this line to offer results driven acne products with pride.

• acne focused
• naturally-based
• non-toxic
• women owned
• refined over 11 years of 1,600 acne clients

I’m aging... and that’s OK.

My acne journey has integrated and I’ve had reliably clear skin for over 12 years.

But at almost 40, my aging journey has begun.

There are so many false beliefs for me to dismantle about aging.

But at the core of it, the biggest lie I can see is that I will become less attractive to myself and others - and therefore hold less value in society.

I call total B.S. on this.

The truth is, the older I get, the more value I feel I am carrying.

The older I get, the more desirable and attractive I feel to myself.

And the more alive and joyful I am living.

Because the older I get, the closer and closer I get to the core of ME.

Life is an adventure. And it is getting more and more rich for me as time goes on and my wisdom and intimacy to my own self deepens.

Healthy aging isn’t just a physical journey - it’s a mental one.

Inviting us all to fall deeper in love with ourselves and kick the rest of those negative aging stories to the curb 💕💕💕💕💕

I want to share something a little more personal with you this week. In my life, I have done a lot of transformational healing work and come to a strong place of self love. I feel compassionate, kind, and heart centered towards myself in my day to day existence. And yet recently, it was time for another layer of something to be healed.

A few weeks ago, I misstepped within a few encounters in my life. I felt like I could have spoken and acted better. As a result, my mind ruminated on feeling bad and sent me spiraling into a shame cycle.

Growing up, I remember being scolded a lot for bad behavior. This is probably common for most of us (including I'm sure for the people who scolded us too!). When we do something wrong, we're shamed for it and often told we're "bad". This planted an inner critic within me, and probably within most of you too.

The inner critic was there to protect me when I was younger. To keep me from being "bad" and avoiding negative encounters with others. In a way it was helpful to keep me in right action in my life. However, the downside is that I have also been playing it small and not taking bigger risks because I've been afraid to step out and make mistakes. And it has kept me from growing.

I also see in my practice how hard my clients can be on themselves sometimes too when they misstep. And it inevitably happens to every single one of my clients. Not a single one is "mistake-free" - myself included!

What feels important about these transgressions is to ground in love and compassion first. Then learn how we can grow from this insight. Mistakes are just opportunities to see our blind spots and try to grow and do better next time around.

My inner critic helped then. But I know better now. I thank the inner critic for protecting me in the way it knew how. And send it into retirement as I move through new growth opportunities in a new way - with love and compassion, without beating myself up about it. 💗
