5 Things I’d Never Let a Client Buy

Three reasons to book a consult instead of buying another product. You have spent more on serums this year than the consultation costs. The next product will not work without a real look at your skin. One call. One four month plan. No commute. No waiting room. Comment "SKIN" and I'll send you t

Three reasons your acne came back at 38. It is not the same acne. Hormonal acne lives on your jawline. Harsh scrubs and stripping cleansers are made for teen skin. Your stress and hormones at 38 are not what they were at 22. Comment "SKIN" and I'll send you the link to book a consult. #NYCEst

I don’t book new clients for single treatments. Here’s why 👇

Random appointments keep you starting over, especially if you’re dealing with acne, dark spots, or scarring. That’s why every new client starts with a plan, not a single treatment, built around your skin and adjusted as it responds Swipe through to see what that actually looks like If you’re

You do not have to live in New York City for expert skincare. Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, or a town of 9000. It does not matter. A photo review, a 30 minute call, and a written four month plan. Most of what transforms your skin happens between facials anyway. Comment "SKIN" and I'll send you the

Three things I would never let a woman over 35 do to her skin. Never start strong acids the week before a sun vacation. Never use a body scrub on your face. Ever. Never stack retinol and a chemical peel in the same week. Comment "SKIN" and I'll send you the link to book a consult. #NYCEstheti

One of my favorite things about The Odyssey is that it didn’t just entertain me. It left me asking questions As an esthetician, I spend a lot of time thinking about beauty, but this film made me think about what beauty has meant throughout history The more I read about Helen of Troy and the w
