Let’s talk skin science. Ever wonder why acne scars form? It’s not just the breakout—it’s your skin’s wound healing process going into overdrive. Inflammatory acne damages the deeper layers of your skin, and when collagen rushes to repair it, it doesn’t always rebuild evenly. That’s what leaves behind those indentations or raised spots. Pro tip: Preventing inflammation early is key—don’t wait for scars to form!

Lash lift + blue-black tint = instant eye pop 💙
My client’s beautiful blue eyes are shining thanks to a subtle boost from the custom tint we chose to enhance her natural color. Every lash lift I do is tailored to your unique features and preferences, because no two sets of lashes (or eyes) are the same.

In the summer, I especially love doing these lifts for that effortless, low-maintenance look. No mascara, no fuss, just confidence ✨

☀️ Holiday Weekend Skin Tips

Keep your skin calm, clear, and glowing all Fourth of July weekend: 🎆

1. Reapply SPF every 2 hours
Even mineral sunscreens need reapplication—especially after swimming or sweating. Don’t forget often-missed spots like ears, hands, and chest. (Clearstem, TiZo, Face Reality and Green Envee are all client-favorite options!)

2. Skip the harsh scrubs after sun exposure
If you’ve been in the sun, your skin is more sensitive. Avoid physical exfoliants or actives like retinol or mandelic for a few days and focus on hydration and barrier repair instead.

3. Chill your products
Pop your hydrating products, skincare tools, and eye products in the fridge. A cool application calms inflammation and feels amazing after a day in the sun.

🎓 National Skincare Education Day Is About More Than Serums + SPFs—It’s About Skin Confidence

Skincare education is so important to me—because I believe knowledge is just as powerful as the right product.
I see so many people overwhelmed by advice from TikTok, influencers, or that one person who swears beef tallow cures everything 😅

But here’s the truth: Your skin is as unique as you are—and it deserves a personalized plan, rooted in science and compassion.
That’s why I focus on education in every appointment. I want you to leave feeling more informed, more empowered, and more confident in your own skin.

📅 Book a facial or skin consultation and I’ll teach you what actually works for your skin. Let’s start giving your skin what it’s really asking for 💬
