Rosacea isn’t something anyone wants to have. Let’s be real, the redness of the skin and inflammation isn’t cute, but we can’t help it! Rosacea is a skin condition that starts internally, but it can also be irritated by outside factors as well such as environment, nutrition and genetics. So, let’s dive because April is National Rosacea Month.

Last month, I went over the skincare basics with y’all so this month we are leveling up baby! This month, we’re building on the basics and chatting about products I get my clients on after we start a basic routine because, well, they are just that good!

Here’s the deal, when the seasons change, we normally change up our wardrobes right? Well the same goes for your skincare. Today we’re chatting all about how your skincare should change with the seasons.

I’ve said it before, 2023 is the year of healthier habits and self care. So, you’re ready to start your skincare and take better care of yourself, but you’re frustrated because everything you’ve tried hasn’t yielded results? Are you ready to take the plunge into better skincare? If so, this blog post is for you.

2023 is the year of better, healthier habits. One of the things I’m focusing on this year is nutrition and skin. Your internal gut health affects your skin way more than you’d ever know. Something that’s super interesting to me is your menstrual cycle and your skin, aka cycle syncing.

A lot of people seem to think that all ingredients are created equal when it comes to skincare. Spoiler alert: they’re not! Although a bottle might say it’s vitamin C doesn’t mean it’s actually vitamin C serum. You have to remember, your skin is your largest organ, so we need to be using quality products on it! We’re going to talk about 6 different things to take into consideration when deciding on skincare.

Self care is preached by everyone all the time, but it is a huge part of healing when it comes to your skin! Stress is a huge acne trigger and self care helps to keep you calmer thus reducing stress. Stress increases cortisol levels in your body which also causes inflammation and then acne. It also causes imbalances in your hormones, so doing things to help keep your stress levels low is so important!

You guys have no idea how secretly excited I am to write this post. Just because I’m an esthetician, doesn’t mean I don’t do the same skin no-nos you guys do. I’m human just like you, so let’s dive in!

It’s the month of love and since I love y’all so much, I can’t not share my favorites with you! So, let’s get into all the goodies! From cleansers to exfoliators to serums, I’ve got you covered!

One of the biggest myths I hear is that dry skin doesn’t need exfoliation. FALSE, you just need the RIGHT kind for your skin and its needs! For dry skin, that usually means something gentle and not as aggressive or as much exfoliation, however everyone’s skin is so different! 

Did you do what we all do during the holidays and indulge too much? It happens, and tastes so good, but we have to face the consequences. Usually this means breakouts and sluggish-looking skin. Before we get into the goods, I want you guys to know that IT’S OKAY to get off track during the holidays, we are human, and we should be enjoying all the holiday things!

TikToks and DIY skincare trends are NOT the vibe for 2023. Lemon is not a good bleach for skin pigmentation, toothpaste is not a good breakout spot treatment. These are trends of the past! Come see your friendly, neighborhood esthetician!
