Helpful Tips and What to Avoid if You Find Yourself Overexposed to UV Light

Yesterday’s sunshine was beautiful — but if you stayed out a little too long, your skin might be feeling it today. Too much sun exposure can overwhelm the skin’s natural defenses, leading to redness, dryness, and in some cases cellular damage. Excess UV rays accelerate the breakdown of collagen and can impair the skin barrier, making it more vulnerable to irritation and premature aging. That’s why caring for sun-exposed skin right away is essential to help it recover and stay healthy long-term.

Home Remedies for Sun-Stressed Skin

1. Cool it down with chilled herbal compresses

-Brew chamomile or green tea, chill in the fridge, and use as a soothing compress
-For extra healing, saturate the compress with hydrosols like rose, calendula, lavender, or rose geranium
-Try chilling your Active Spray and applying

2. Soothe and hydrate
-Apply fresh aloe vera or a cooling honey mask
Pro Tip: Mix Activist Honey Mask with Active Spray or Rose Geranium Hydrosol for added relief

3. Replenish and repair
-Use Marie Veronique Barrier Restore Serum or Hydration Mask
Pro Tip: Store them in the fridge for a refreshing boost during summer

What Not to Do for Sun-Stressed Skin

When your skin is feeling burned or sensitive, less is more. Here’s what to avoid:

1. Skip heavy oils or occlusive balms right away — they can trap heat and slow healing

2. Avoid hot showers and harsh scrubs — they’ll further irritate fragile skin

3. Stay away from alcohol-based toners or "tingly" products — they can worsen inflammation

4. Hold off on active ingredients like retinols, acids, or exfoliants until your skin has fully recovered

Your skin needs calm, hydration, and time to heal — not a full routine.

Moderate sun exposure is vital for overall health. When UVB rays reach the skin, they stimulate vitamin D production — a hormone crucial for bone strength, immune resilience, and even mood balance. The summer months are when our bodies naturally store up vitamin D, which helps sustain immunity through the darker winter season.

By balancing sun exposure with mindful after-care, you can enjoy all the vitality and immunity the sun provides while keeping your skin radiant and resilient.

Warmly,
Leslie & the ladies of Cleo

Vitamin C Hydrodermabrasion
& Oxygen Facial

Afterward, we use an oxygen machine that helps boost the amount of oxygen in your skin, kickstarting elastin and collagen production and cell regeneration. While Vitamin C brightens the skin, it also limits the damage induced by ultraviolet (UV) light exposure. The antioxidant activity of Vitamin C protects against UV-induced damage caused by free radicals.

Experience Brighter & more Radiant Skin: Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, is known to brighten complexion and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. Hydrodermabarasion allows for an even deeper pe*******on of our speciality Vitamin C, giving you all the boosted benefits and glow.

Boosted Collagen Production: Both Hydrodermabrasion and Vitamin C aid to boosted collagen production. By stimulating collagen production, this facial can help minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dull skin.

Deeper Exfoliation: using a gentle, non-abrasive tip, our Hydrodermabrasion wand gently exfoliates the top layer of dead skin with a gentle vacuum while infusing the skin with our speciality Vitamin C serum.

Vitamin C is one of natures gifts, that brings light, clarity, and resilience to the skin. A powerful antioxidant that works in harmony with your skins natural processes.

Dear Friends,

Over the years, our skincare studio has grown alongside you — learning, evolving, and constantly seeking the most aligned, effective ways to support your skin and overall well-being. Today, I want to share a change we’ve made with intention and a deep sense of responsibility.

After much reflection and research, we've decided to discontinue carrying Eminence products in our studio.

This wasn't a decision made lightly. We’ve loved what Eminence has represented — an organic skincare brand, beloved for its beautiful scents and luxurious textures. It's brought joy to many of you and supported countless rituals of self-care in our treatment rooms and in your homes.

But as our philosophy and understanding of the skin have deepened, so has our commitment to truly holistic skincare — skincare that doesn’t just feel good, but is good for the living, breathing ecosystem that is your skin.

In this journey, we've discovered that while Eminence uses many wonderful natural ingredients, some of their formulas include fragrance, which can be disruptive to sensitive skin and the skin microbiome. We've also come to recognize that many of their products are heavily stabilized and emulsified, designed more for shelf-life and spa experience than for living synergy with the skin.

In contrast, brands like Marie Veronique, Botnia, Evan Healy, Activist and Cleo represent where we’re headed — and what we believe in.

These formulas feel alive because they are. Crafted in small batches, these products are packed with active ingredients, natural enzymes, antioxidants, vitamins, amino acids, probiotics, and microbiome-supportive compounds that work with your skin, not against it. They’re designed with clinical integrity, minimal preservatives, and an ethos that respects the complexity of the skin's own intelligence. It’s less about pampering and more about healing, balance, and true skin health.

Ultimately, our goal has always been to offer not just beautiful experiences, but purposeful ones — rituals and products that restore the skin, support long-term health, and reflect our evolving values.

We’re so grateful for your trust as we move into this new chapter. Your skin deserves the most intelligent, thoughtful care we can give — and we’re more excited than ever to offer that.

With deep care and gratitude,
Leslie Murphy
Founder, Cleo Skincare

Shifting our Skincare:

Thoughtfully chosen swaps for your beloved Eminence staples- honoring the same skin-loving intentions 🌱

Stone Crop Cleansing oil → Cleo Rosemary Ritual Cleanser:

Our nourishing oil cleanser gently dissolves buildup, clears pores, and calms inflammation—leaving skin clean, soft, and radiant without disrupting the moisture barrier. Powered by antioxidant-rich black cumin seed oil and soothing, clarifying rosemary, this formula helps reduce puffiness and supports a balanced, healthy complexion. Infused over six weeks with garden-grown botanicals, it delivers a deeply cleansing and restorative experience with every use.

Eminence Birch Water → Marie Veronique Hypotonic:

The Marie Veronique tonic hydrates the skin by balancing the water content in skin cells with surrounding lipids, supporting the stratum corneum’s ability to function independently. Unlike conventional toners that may dehydrate skin by disrupting lamellar lipid layers, this tonic uses humectants that mimic the skin’s natural structure. As a result, it enhances hydration while restoring the skin’s barrier integrity and overall health.

Eminence Bakuchiol + Niacinamide Moisturizer → Marie Veronique Multi-Retinol Night Emulsion:

The Multi-Retinol Night Emulsion is a microbiome-friendly, fragrance-free alternative to prescription retinoids, combining encapsulated retinol, retinyl sunflowerseedate, and bakuchiol for a synergistic, age-defying effect. This innovative night treatment delivers powerful results without the irritation or microbiome damage typical of conventional retinoids. Its strategic, load-sharing formula improves skin function more effectively than higher-strength retinol products, making it a superior solution for aging skin.

* In honor of this transition, all remaining Eminence products will be 20% off. Purchases of Eminence products over $250 will receive a free Eminence gift (up to $59 value) while supplies last *

I can already feel the power of this upcoming full moon stirring - its energy is palpable, inviting reflection and renewal. The Buck Moon, rising this month, carries deep spiritual significance as a symbol of growth, transformation, and strength.

Understanding Fungal Acne:

What is it, Causes and Holistic Remedies

Fungal acne, often mistaken for traditional acne, is a skin condition caused by an overgrowth of yeast (Malassezia) rather than bacteria. While it can resemble regular acne with small, uniform pimples, fungal acne typically appears on the forehead, chest, back, or shoulders and can often be itchy and clustered. Conventional acne treatments may not work, and in some cases, they can make the condition worse. Fortunately, there are holistic approaches that can help restore balance to the skin and prevent future outbreaks.

What Causes Fungal Acne?

Fungal acne is triggered when the yeast that naturally lives on the skin overgrows, leading to inflammation in the hair follicles. Several factors contribute to this imbalance, including:

1. Excess Moisture & Sweating - Wearing tight, non-breathable clothing or not showering after sweating can create an environment where yeast thrives. Wearing a wetsuit can also contribute to fungal acne on the chest and back.

2. Overuse of Antibiotics - Antibiotics disrupt the skin and gut microbiome, allowing yeast to overpopulate.

3. High-Sugar & Processed Foods - Diets high in sugar and refined carbohydrates can fuel yeast overgrowth.

4. Oily Skin & Heavy Skincare Products - Some oils and occlusive skincare products can feed Malassezia, worsening fungal acne.

5. Weakened Immune System - Stress, poor diet, and lack of sleep can weaken immunity, making the skin more susceptible.

6. Mold Exposure - Exposure to mold and dampness can increase the risk of fungal acne.

New Fungal Acne Line, MALEZIA

now available at Cleo

MALEZIA

Malezia's anti-fungal line uses evidence-based skincare ingredients that doesn't feed opportunistic bacteria and fungi, designed specifically for fungal acne patients. They are committed to pioneering microbiology-driven formulations, focusing on scientific research, and crafting innovative products that prioritize skin health without fueling harmful microorganisms. All formulations are microbiome inert, minimizing impact on skin flora while utilizing evidence-based active ingredients.

Additionally, we align with their environmental approach, as all products are packaged with sustainable aluminum that is infinitely recyclable.

* Before and after of 6 week regimen with Malezia Products

A Holistic Approach to Treating Fungal Acne

1. Incorporate Probiotics & Gut-Healing Foods

A balanced gut microbiome helps control yeast levels in the body. Consider adding:

Fermented foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, and kefir.

Probiotic supplements with Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains.

Prebiotic-rich foods like garlic, onions, and bananas to support beneficial gut bacteria.

2. Adjust Your Diet to Reduce Yeast Growth

Since Malassezia feeds on certain types of fats and sugars, dietary adjustments can make a big difference:

- Reduce sugar intake - Cut back on refined sugar and high-glycemic foods.

- Avoid dairy and processed foods - These can contribute to inflammation.

- Incorporate antifungal foods - Garlic, coconut oil, oregano, and apple cider vinegar help fight yeast overgrowth.

3. Add Natural Antifungal Treatments

- Coconut Oil - Contains caprylic acid, which has antifungal properties. Apply a thin layer as a moisturizer.

- Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) Rinse - Dilute ACV with water (1:1 ratio) and use it as a toner to help restore the skin's pH balance.

- Aloe Vera - Soothes irritation and has mild antifungal properties.

4. Wear Breathable Clothing & Practice Good Hygiene

Since fungal acne thrives in humid environments, it's important to:

- Wear loose, moisture-wicking fabrics.

- Shower immediately after sweating.

- Change pillowcases and towels frequently to prevent yeast buildup.

5. Support Your Immune System

A strong immune system can naturally keep yeast levels in check. Focus on: Focus on:

Stress management- Practice yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises.

Quality sleep - Aim for 7-9 hours of rest per night.

Hydration - Drink plenty of water to flush out toxins.

Fungal acne can be frustrating, but by addressing the root causes and making lifestyle changes, you can help restore balance to your skin. A holistic approach that combines gentle skincare, dietary adjustments, and overall wellness practices can significantly reduce flare-ups and prevent recurrence.

Your Beauty Routine Simplified

Introducing our latest offering - the Cleo Lash Lift

At Cleo, we understand your commitment to natural beauty and holistic wellness. That's why we're excited to introduce you to an ammonia and paraben free lash lift treatment—a natural, gentle, low-maintenance way to enhance your natural lashes without the need for mascara or daily curling.

What Is a Lash Lift?

A lash lift is a semi-permanent treatment that uplifts and curls your natural eyelashes from the base, creating a fuller and more defined look. This process uses a specially formulated solution to set the lashes, resulting in a natural enhancement that lasts for weeks.

Benefits of a Lash Lift:

Natural Enhancement: By lifting your own lashes, the treatment maintains a natural appearance while making your eyes look more open and youthful.

Low Maintenance: Enjoy beautifully curled lashes without the daily use of eyelash curlers or mascara. The results typically last between 6 to 8 weeks, depending on your lash growth cycle.

Time-Saving: Simplify your beauty routine and save time in your day, all while looking effortlessly elegant.

Here’s how it works:

Preparation – The lashes are cleansed to remove any oils or makeup. A silicone rod is placed on the eyelid, and the lashes are adhered to it with a gentle, water-soluble adhesive.

Lifting Solution (Thioglycolate-Free Alternative) – Instead of ammonia-based or harsh chemicals, the lifting solution contains gentler active plant-based alternatives to break down the lash bonds and reshape them into the desired curl. This minimizes damage while effectively setting the lift.

Setting Solution – A neutralizing solution, free of parabens, helps restore the lash structure and fix the new curl in place.

Nourishment & Conditioning – A conditioning serum infused with keratin, peptides and natural oils is applied to rehydrate and strengthen the lashes after the treatment.

Benefits of a Paraben-Free & Ammonia-Free Lash Lift
Safer for Sensitive Eyes – Less risk of irritation or allergic reactions.
Healthier Lashes – No harsh chemicals that can weaken or dry out natural lashes.

Long-Lasting & Natural Results – Results typically last 6–8 weeks without damage.

The Cleo Lash Lift $52.50 (Normally $105)
The Cleo Lash Lift with Tint $67.70 (Normally $135)

50% OFF discount is applied to all appointments before 2/19/25

A gentle reminder, true beauty isn't about what's on the surface, but the light that shines from within.

Warmly,
Leslie & the ladies of Cleo

The Winter Glow Facial Details

60 minutes - $168 (Normally $200)

This facial is great for all skin types and begins with a gentle cleanse to remove impurities and prepare the skin for treatment. A custom toner follows to balance the ph and further prepare skin for the following therapies. An exfoliating or corrective mask is then applied, tailored to your skin’s needs while our first round of cryo ice globes are applied to initiate vasoconstriction. The mask is then removed and we start the LED light therapy to initiate vasodilation and stimulate circulation, collagen production, reduce inflammation, and promote cellular repair.

We finish with the healing cryo ice globe therapy to leave you with tighten pores, calm skin and reduced puffiness. The treatment is completed with a balancing toner, targeted serums, hydrating moisturizer, and SPF to leave your skin glowing, thriving, and protected.

LED Therapy

What is LED Therapy:

LED light therapy, which stands for "light-emitting diode" is a non-invasive treatment that uses different wavelengths of light (often red and blue) to target various skin concerns like acne, wrinkles, sun damage, and scarring by stimulating cellular activity within the skin layers, promoting collagen production and potentially reducing inflammation depending on the color used.
*During your facial treatment we will customize the light being used for your specific skin condition.

LED skin benefits include:
Stimulating collagen production, helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Reducing inflammation by soothing redness and irritation. Treating acne-prone skin to reduce breakouts and excess oil production. Promoting wound healing by improving circulation and cell regeneration. Evening skin tone to reduce hyperpigmentation and sunspots. Minimizing pores to leave skin smoother and more refined. Improving hydration and overall radiance. Reducing signs of aging by improving overall skin texture, firmness, and tone

Contrast Therapy

Contrast therapy works by alternating between vasoconstriction (blood vessels narrowing with cold) and vasodilation (blood vessels widening with heat), which improves blood circulation, reduces inflammation, and can help with skin tightening and a more refreshed appearance; essentially "pumping" fresh blood and nutrients to the skin surface. This combination not only improves skin texture and elasticity but also helps to detoxify and rejuvenate, leaving you with a radiant glow!

*This special gift applies to all Winter Glow Facials booked through 1/29- 2/14/25 and will be available for pickup after your appointment.

*Please note: All appointments booked outside the booking period will not apply for the Eminence product.

Warmly,
Leslie & the ladies of Cleo
