I just realized my IG has not been connected to this page (and cross posting content) since 2023! DREP!
Also, I do have 2 accounts on FB and IG. Its a whole ass thing.

Also, also... I got Best of the Springs! Holla!!! Come see me, I can fix your face!

Water is life… Yes. But water is not skin health.

Water is a very important part of cellular health and function but too many people hear “stay hydrated for skin health” as a holy grail. Its not.

These same people will drink their weight in oz. because thats what we have been told to do. Lots of ladies will drink over their weight in oz. thinking it will out them ahead of the game.

The first issue is that over drinking water can actually dehydrate you by flushing out electrolytes. Electrolytes are what helps cells get hydrated. We need those. Clear p*e is a sign that you are in fact drinking too much water.

Second issue is that water is useless in skin when there is nothing to lock that water in the skin. If your barrier is wrecked from too many exfoliating products, you will not have a barrier to keep your skin hydrated.
Aging also naturally deteriorates barrier function. When our cells don’t turn over fast enough and our natural oils start to decline, we can see decreased barrier function. This is why we get dry as we age.

Ensuring you are staying hydrated (drinking to thirst) and locking in that water with a healthy barrier (from quality foods including fats) and a supportive skincare routine that includes gentle exfoliation with quality barrier supportive ingredients can ensure your skin is staying string and healthy and aging at a slower rate.

Hydration can make a world of difference. My client was complaining of some dryness. Well, as we age our skin doesn’t function as well. Our barrier isn’t as good as it used to be and cant hold in moisture as well. Its important to use barrier supportive products to ensure you are helping your skin retain moisture. Hydrated cells are high functioning cells.

🫶🏻 My client was sweet enough to let me share these photos of the progress we have made over the last 4+ months and I couldn’t be more happy! They buckled down and really took everything they learned in my clearing prep to heart and completely changed their diet, stuck to the home care and bi-weekly treatments and has had some major changes for the better.

We are now on a monthly schedule to see how things go and will continue to work on leftover markings and eventually it will be an as needed visit and product restock.

A bit of a rebrand 💚

C. Acne bacteria is a symptom of the acne process. It’s not the first bullet point on the list of this cascade to an acne lesion.

Acne starts with a DHT sensitivity caused by any number of things like:
•Bad diets causing gut health and detox pathway issues
•Exposure to environmental factors causing gut health and detox pathway issues.
•Hormone imbalances like Thyroid issues, PCOS, hormone replacement therapies.
• Chronic Inflammation in the body (gut, skin, nervous system, what have you)

Bacteria feeds on sebum, sebum is increased with DHT conversion and subsequent inflammation caused by this process.

Bacteria will cause red, inflamed lesions but is not the cause of your acne. People can have non-inflamed acne or a combination of both.

While it is helpful to address the bacteria when treating acne, we need to address the underlying cause(s) as well.

I take a multi faceted approach to acne and thats why when you commit to seeing me and commit to the process, it works!

If you want to DIY your skincare, make your own choices while clearing or not commit to diet, lifestyle and skincare changes… Im not the esthetician for you.

If you’re ready for clear skin, I’d love to work on a plan and help you get clear skin!

Are you still having a struggle session with your skin? Let’s address the elephant in the “skin still looks like sh*t” room.

Compliance means listening to the professional and showing up for yourself, doing the routine, choosing better food, not doing the things that don’t serve you and your body as much as possible and putting in the work to see results.

Consistency is compliance but doing the hard things over and over again, day in and day out. Wash that makeup off at night. Wear sunsceen on your fave when you’re going to be outside. Use your actives even if your skin seems to be getting worse.

Patience is 🔑! Your skin needs many months to really show progress (at least 6 months for deep rooted issues like pigmentation). Barrier issues can take a very long time because it can be a microbiome issue and a dysfuctional cell issue that needs to be addressed in the gut. Don’t give up after 2 weeks if your skin isn’t improving as quick as you think it should. Skin issues are internal issues and they didn’t happen over night.
