Let’s talk about botox and healthy skin. The past few years I’ve noticed more and more clients going down this road (as well as other cosmetic procedures~ filler, Fraxel, etc).

I’m 47 and have been in this industry over 20 years. I may be a little old school but I truly don’t believe these procedures are necessary to achieve the kind of healthy, glowing skin that most people are looking for.

Yes, regular facials and quality clinical skincare products are an investment. But with that investment comes a professional who can guide you through selecting the most effective products for your skin. Treat your concerns topically as well as guide you through other holistic habits to support your skin health, and the time to yourself to unwind and relax every month or two.

Botox, while offering immediate results, does not offer any long term benefits for your skin. It paralyzed your muscles, which can lead to muscle weakening, sagging and decreases micro circulation and blood flow. The exact opposite of what you want for healthy glowing skin!

My work focuses on holistic health of the skin. From topical products, to nutrition and massage, the latest non invasive technologies like Microcurrent, ultrasound and LED to hands on healing.

Healthy skin is beautiful skin! And supporting each client on their skincare journey truly brings me joy.

I’ve always been a little bit of a rebel ✨

Today I felt so inspired by a client who came to see me while visiting from France.

She was maybe in her 60’s. Gorgeous skin. A natural beauty!

I asked her about her skincare regimen. She told me a beautiful story about her own mother who was a practicing esthetician well into her 70’s. She said she was religious about 3 things. Regular facials, a good nighttime moisturizer, and sun protection.

I’ve been preaching this for years and following my own advice. There are so many clients asking about lasers, fraxel, vampire PRP facials, microneedling, botox, injectables. While there is a place for some of these procedures, they should never replace a solid skincare regimen.

Personally, I have never done more than an occasional IPL facial to zap a few capillaries. I’m standing my ground on Botox. I am not a fan.

Consistency is key as is having the right topicals to address your concerns and using them! I also love a little oxygen, LED and Microcurrent.

Simplicity. Natural beauty. Healthy skin = beautiful skin. This will forever be my philosophy. XX Your esthetician, Dawn Patrice

Cult Favorite Cleanser ✨

There is a reason the Bioglycolic Cleanser is my top selling cleanser and why I have personally been using it for almost 20 years.

This cleanser will change your skin!

There is truly nothing else like it out there. The formulation is one of a kind.

Mild yet effective with a creamy non foaming consistency and a 12% glycolic acid base to smooth fine lines and clear congestion WITHOUT drying or irritating the skin.

I recommend using it daily (1-2x) and applying undiluted onto dry skin. Massage all over and remove with a washcloth (or rinse with water).

Get immediate results with just one use and long term benefits included smoother, more luminous looking skin, fewer lines and wrinkles, less congestion and overall more hydrated skin.

Use as a primary cleanser or as a second cleanse after an oil cleanser or makeup removal.

You will be hooked! Give it a try I offer FREE Shipping on all orders .com ✨ SHOP in BIO ✨

Summer Skincare Essentials ✨

In the summer you will find me seeking shade, slathering on the SPF and always wearing sunglasses ✨

UV rays cause 95% of what we see as aging on our skin. And while wearing a good broad spectrum sunscreen is essential it isn’t always enough. Physical barriers like a hat, sun protective clothing, sunglasses and any kind of shade will help give you an added layer of protection against the suns harmful rays.

I love the Antioxidant SPF 33 and Physical Tinted SPF 45 for daily use as well as for trips to the beach, pool or lake. Both are antioxidant packed, lightweight, waterproof and packaged in an easy to throw in your beach bag tube. Remember to reapply every 2 hours ✨

Evening rituals ✨

I’ve switched from morning dry brushing to evening (yes it’s ok!) for the summer so I can spend a little more time on the full ritual and unwind after chasing the kids around all day. Let’s face it, pretty much all I have the energy for is a nice long shower (I know some of you can relate) ✨

After a full body dry brush using my ionic dry brush from , I take a warm shower followed by a coconut oil body massage using a body gua sha tool to target the backs of my legs and any areas that need a little extra TLC. This is great for improving lymphatic flow and maintaining healthy fascia.

This simple ritual has the power to leave you feeling totally rejuvenated and relaxed. Afterwards, I recommend relaxing with a cup of hot herbal tea and your LED light to boost collagen ✨

Consistency is so important with your skincare, so make sure you create rituals you look forward to rather than making them a chore ✨

Do what lights you up ✨

14 years ago I took a huge chance and decided to open my own business. I rented a space on the 11th floor of the Flood Building, ordered my equipment, and opened my doors. I had 5 clients ✨

A mentor told me it would take 3-5 years to build a sold book of clients, so I kept a day job working for a skincare line and pounded the pavement looking for clients. I would hand my cards out to retail cashiers, hotel concierges and anyone I came across while running errand or networking at events. The progress felt slow in the beginning but…

I showed up ✨ I came to work whether I had clients or not. I put in the time to work on my dream and it didn’t happen over night, but I kept going.

My vision was to create the experience that I would want as a client. To deliver exceptional results, while also making sure that each and every client felt like they were transported to a private little oasis for that hour. That you would leave not only looking but feeling beautiful!

Thank you to each and every client that made the last 14 years in business possible. I’m so beyond grateful and honored to do what I love and have your trust when it comes to caring for you and your skin. I’m so excited to share the next chapter and create another beautiful space to share my work with you ✨

Please share your experiences at the Flood Building studio! I’d love to hear how I can improve in the years to come and what you’re looking for in a facial service. What can I do to create the most luxurious and pampering facial for you and what kind of results are you looking for when you book a facial? Any special treatments you are seeking out? Please leave in the comments or DM me ✨

Dream big (and keep going!) ✨

Sometimes we need to take a minute to remind ourselves of all we have accomplished even when progress may involve a lot of unexpected turns along the way ✨

I’ve had my head down for the last few years… survival mode. Between back to back pregnancies, unexpected surgeries, trying to manage and maintain a business through covid lockdowns, several moves and mothering two very energetic boys ✨

I’m really proud I made time to do something to support my own personal growth but also to support my clients on a deeper level ✨

20 years ago while studying anatomy and physiology as a massage student I learned how everything is connected. The mission of and their Integrative philosophy really spoke to me so I spent the last year immersed in learning the power of our bodies ability to heal itself through primary and secondary foods and our bio individuality ✨

Thanks to everyone who has supported me along the way. I can’t wait to spread the ripple effect ✨
