SKIN ADVICE FROM A LICENSED ESTHETICIAN

I’m going to start posting more skin care tips to help out all of my fellow skincare besties!!! I’ve been a licensed esthetician for 8 years, and I’ve dealt with a lot of faces. #skincare #estheticianconnection #licensedesthetician #healthylifestyle2024 #beautyfinds #skin #skincareproducts #skincycling #skincaretips #skincare2024

I know this world of skincare can be confusing with lots of conflicting information out there, but I’m here to separate the facts from the trends 🫣

What else would you like to know- or any specific skin concerns you’d like to know about? Ask below 🫧♥️

2024/4/18 Edited to

Understanding skincare can be daunting, especially with the vast array of products and advice available. As a beginner, focus on the basics like barrier repair and consistent cleansing. Start your routine with gentle cleansers, and always apply quality SPF to protect your skin from UV damage. Consider consulting with a licensed esthetician before experimenting with active ingredients like retinols, as they can disrupt your skin barrier if not used correctly. Additionally, supplements like whey protein and biotin may trigger breakouts for some individuals, so it's essential to be mindful of what you're putting into your body as well as on it. If you're dealing with specific skin issues, remember to communicate these to your esthetician for personalized advice. Establishing a tailored skincare routine based on your unique skin type and concerns is key to achieving the results you desire. Stay informed and make decisions based on reliable information to ensure your skincare journey is effective and rewarding.
