Your skincare consultant acts as a personal trainer for your skin. Personally, I find that when I exercise on my own, I tend to take shortcuts. Yet, when I'm with a gym instructor, I push myself to the limit. Consider me your dedicated trainer….

I am a licensed esthetician, and I have the expertise to work with your skin. Drawing on over 25 years of experience in the skincare industry, I will assist you in creating a skincare routine tailored to your specific skin type and condition, utilizing the right facial ingredients and products.

When I serve as your personal 'Skin Care Consultant', your skin's health becomes my top priority. My aim is to ensure your skin looks as radiant as possible..

A well-known former hairstylist once spotted me in public and disapproved of my hair. He remarked, “If your hair looks bad, it reflects on me.” That comment has stayed with me ever since. This is why I treat every client as my top priority; your skin's health is a testament to my skills. I believe in the importance of looking good.

I’m not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV.

Skin Consulting Session

Step One......

You and I will take a moment to sit down and engage in a real conversation. Do you recall the times when people would genuinely communicate with one another?

We discuss your expectations for skincare products and explore the daily routine you're willing to commit to in order to reach your facial goals. Are these goals realistic? How much time will you need to achieve them? Additionally, should you consider alternative anti-aging options such as fillers, surgery, or laser resurfacing?

Step Two…..

I conduct a thorough, hands-on assessment of your skin. Why is it necessary for me to touch your skin?

I’m looking for:

• Skin Sensitivity
• Dryness/Dehydration
• Pore Size and Skin Texture
• How Your Skin Reacts To Products.

Step Three….. Assess your skincare products.

Why Is It Essential to Assess Your Skincare Products?

It's important to evaluate your skincare items because you've invested your money in them, and you expect them to deliver results. That's reason enough! Additionally, I want to ensure that your products contain the right ingredients to achieve your desired outcomes while avoiding any negative effects, such as inflammation or sensitivity.

I’ve encountered individuals whose skincare routines included a cleanser designed for oily skin paired with a moisturizer intended for dry skin. Another client used a dry skin cleanser, two exfoliants, and a mask meant for oily skin, resulting in her skin being in turmoil.

Did you know that the typical skincare consumer often buys a product endorsed by a celebrity in a TV advertisement? They may also choose a product based on a friend's recommendation, without considering whether it suits their specific skin condition. For instance, just because it worked for your friend with oily skin doesn't mean it's right for your sensitive skin. In my consultation sessions, I've noticed that even when individuals select the appropriate products, they frequently use them incorrectly.

Another Scenario - Over Correction

What is overcorrection? It begins with a straightforward skin care issue. You attempt to resolve it, but you choose the wrong approach, leading to more complex or multiple problems. In this case, it will take time to rectify the situation. You might wonder why. The reason is that you must return to the original problem. Imagine untangling a knot; with each step, you need to tackle every issue individually until your skin regains its balance.

Skin Care Detective

Your skin's health presents a fascinating puzzle for me to unravel, igniting my inner geek. I feel like a detective on a mission. Healthy skin comprises various components or traits. Here are a few clues to consider:

Lifestyle-

Diet-

Medications-

How do your skincare ingredients interact with your skin?

Throughout various stages of life, your skin requires topical support from cosmeceutical ingredients. For instance, some ingredients are essential for protecting collagen proteins, while others help maintain the life cycle of skin cells.

Are your grooming habits beneficial for your skin, or are they contributing to the issues you're facing?

Consider this scenario: You have fine, soft vellus hair on your cheeks and some darker hair on your lip. After successfully removing the hair at home, you find yourself hairless. The following day, you decide to perform a deep cleanse using your exfoliating products. This situation represents a skin issue in its early stages. You've now over-exfoliated, which may result in dryness and inflammation of the skin.

Are you selecting the right products?

Just because a product is marketed as an anti-aging serum, it doesn't necessarily mean it's designed to target lines and wrinkles. It might contain ingredients aimed at addressing dark spots, which can develop with age. So, while it is technically an anti-aging serum, it may not be the one that suits your specific needs

A New Beginning For Skin

We will wrap up your consultation session with practical demonstrations, covering the following topics:

After your session you still have my help.

I will send you a written follow-up that includes a personalized outline of your "Current Skin Type & Condition." This will also highlight any grooming habits that may be contributing to your skin concerns and recommend products to address, correct, improve, or balance your skin's health.

In conclusion, let me say...

The beauty industry is changing fast with wonderful new anti-aging ingredient based technology. Do you have time to keep abreast of all the new exciting things happening?

Wouldn’t it nice after you read or heard about the latest, newest, bests skin care thing on the market, to be able to ask an expert you trust to tell you the truth?
