🥒 Unbox my groceries with me! Edition — Part 2 🫒✨

This week’s haul includes two of my absolute favorites: okra and olives!

I love okra for its amazing texture and skin-loving benefits — it’s packed with vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and fiber that support gut and skin health from the inside out. 💚

And olives? A true staple in my kitchen.

They’re full of healthy fats and antioxidants that help nourish your skin and keep it glowing.

I especially love them on simple, wholesome crackers made with just flour and water. Such an easy, satisfying snack!

Stay tuned for Part 3 — more colorful foods, wellness tips, and skin-healthy favorites coming soon!

Fall skin fatigue? Not on my watch! 🍁

I had the best time joining and on to talk about how to keep your glow steady through the seasons, featuring my .skin line and the C.A.R.A. Tool

Althaea is named for the Greek word for “healer,” because our skin — just like nature — moves in cycles. With Solar and Lunar Synq® Technology, each formula works in harmony with your skin’s 24-hour rhythm and the natural world around us, defending by day, restoring by night.

With one device and a few time-synched formulas, you can say goodbye to dull, fatigued skin this season and realize your healthiest glow yet.

Because true balance begins when you live in sync with your skin, your body and the seasons, all at once. 🌞

Happy Fact or Fiction Friday

GLP-1s can be a total game changer—not only for weight loss, but also for people managing high blood sugar or elevated hemoglobin A1C.

But with all their benefits, they can also bring along challenges like sagging skin or facial volume loss (aka “Ozempic face”).

✨ That’s why we take a proactive approach. ✨

Pairing GLP-1 use with treatments such as skin tightening, light resurfacing, IPL, and skin-boosting keeps your skin firm, radiant, and healthy.

The goal?

Supporting you inside and out, so you can look and feel glorious. 🌟

🥕 Unbox my groceries with me! Edition 🍅🥒

I always try to buy a variety of colors when it comes to fruits and veggies — the more color, the more vitamins, antioxidants, fiber, and glow-worthy nutrients. 🌈

I picked up whole carrots (I compost the tops, but fun fact — you can eat them!). Both my dog and I snack on these because they’re so good for you.

I also grabbed cucumbers — I make a ton of homemade Spanish-style gazpacho with tomatoes (hello lycopene + antioxidants), carrots, onions, and red peppers.

It’s refreshing, crunchy, and amazing for your gut microbiome — which means healthier skin and better overall wellness. 💚✨

Stay tuned for part two!

Happy Fact or Fiction Friday!

Whether it’s a Halloween mask, face mask, or heavy party makeup, all that heat and perspiration can lead to what I call “maskne.”

Not only can these masks be hard on your skin during Halloween, but they can also lead to painful breakouts, rashes, and irritation. 👻

Tips to protect your skin:
✨ Prep your skin before wearing masks/makeup
✨ After you get home, double cleanse — start with an oil cleanser to remove makeup and residue, then follow with your regular cleanser
✨ Hydrate and soothe your skin afterward
✨ Skip a mask all together!

Enjoy the festivities, but don’t let your skin pay the price! 💖

🎃 It’s Halloween, and in dermatology… some trends are truly scary!

We’re not talking about what happens in my office — we’re talking about what you see on the street or online. 😱

Overfilled lips? DIY injectables? People buying gels, fillers, or Botox and injecting themselves? That’s terrifying.

Improper injections can even affect your ability to smile or swallow.

DIY Dermatology can be spooky, but you don’t have to fall for these scary trends.

If something looks a little too spooky to you, slide into my DMs — I’m happy to chat and help keep your skin safe. ✨

✨ Menopause and Your Skin: What’s Really Happening ✨

During the first five years of menopause, your skin undergoes big changes as estrogen levels drop:

1️⃣ Collagen production decreases by about 30%, so your skin loses some plumpness and firmness.
2️⃣ Skin becomes drier, with slower cell turnover, which can make it look flaky or dull.
3️⃣ The cells that make collagen start to tire, leading to early signs of sagging.

But don’t worry — there’s plenty we can do! 🌟

From prescription-level skincare to energy-based devices and injectables, we have tools to keep your skin radiant, firm, and gorgeous well into menopause and beyond.

✨ Full Face & Neck Rejuvenation with Jenna! ✨

In this video, Jenna is treating my entire face and neck with a powerful combination of IPL, Sofwave, and — the ultimate trio for brightening, tightening, and restoring my skin’s glow. 🌟

💡 IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) targets brown spots and redness caused by years of sun exposure.

I’ve had a lot of sun damage on my neck, so I’ll actually see some brown flecks appear over the next few days — that’s the pigmentation coming to the surface as it’s being lifted and cleared away.

⚡ Sofwave® uses next-generation ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen, tighten, and lift the skin — all with minimal to no downtime.

💧 And to finish, Jenna applied CO2LIFT® Carboxy Gel, which helps soothe, hydrate, and speed up recovery while leaving my skin plump and radiant.

This treatment combo is perfect for tackling sun damage, fine lines, and loss of firmness. Plus, the glow afterward is unmatched! ✨

Happy Fact or Fiction Friday!

Taking too many hot showers can stretch your skin and strip away the natural oils it needs to stay moisturized and maintain its protective barrier. 🚿

While hot showers feel good on colder days, if you don’t reapply moisturizer during or right after, your skin can end up even drier, itchier, and more irritated.

So don’t forget to lock in that hydration for healthy, happy skin! 💧✨
