Progress > Perfection

So proud to share my virtual client’s progress over the last 11 months! 😍

We achieved these results through a fully customized home care routine from @facerealityskincare and practical changes to a few lifestyle habits.

She was patient, consistent and trusted the process and her skin is reaping the benefits. ✨

We’ll target scarring, even tone and resurfacing with in-person treatments once she’s home from school!

Let’s be real, you wouldn’t go to the gym today and expect to see results tomorrow. The same thing applies to your skin.

Getting and maintaining healthy skin is a journey, not an overnight success.

Being consistent and maintaining good habits is what will make the biggest difference in the long run. Real, visible results take time and patience and depending on your specific skin concerns it can take a few months or more to see improvements.

Taking photos is a great way to help monitor your progress.

Moisturizing your skin everyday is vital for healthy, balanced skin. The skin has a protective barrier that is made of oil, sweat and water. When that barrier is compromised the skin loses water and becomes dehydrated.

Moisturizers help support that protective layer, preventing moisture loss and shielding the skin from harmful external factors while helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Even if you have oily skin, you need to moisturize! When you skip this step it can cause the skin to respond by producing more oil to compensate which can trigger breakouts.

As a general rule of thumb, moisturizers should be applied in the morning after serums and before sunscreen. At night a heavier moisturizer can be used to help your skin repair and recover while you sleep.

Your lips should not be overlooked and need the same love and care the rest of your face gets.

Your lips are delicate and thin, and can easily get chapped and dried out, especially during the winter.

Treat your lips once or twice a week to an exfoliating sugar scrub. Keep them healthy and supple with daily use of your favorite hydrating lip balm and a lip SPF.

#loveyourskinchallenge #liptreatment #healthyskin #nycskincareblog #nycesthetician #brooklynesthetician #correctiveskincare

Facials are not just an opportunity for you to relax, they are a chance for your esthetician to get an up close look at your skin, assess what your skin needs and make a targeted treatment plan to maximize skin health.

Treatments are recommended every 4-6 weeks, but based on your unique skin concerns, visits may be more frequent.

During your treatment your esthetician uses professional grade products to help target your skin concerns and support your daily routine.

Breakouts are caused by a number of factors but the more you practice good habits the healthier your skin can be.

Your skin comes into contact with various bacteria and germs every day. Along with the oil, sweat and dirt that builds up throughout the day and any makeup you may be wearing, your pillowcase can become a breeding ground for acne and skin irritation.

Generally, washing your pillowcases or changing them once a week is a good idea. If you struggle with acne, you might consider changing your pillowcases multiple times a week.

Helping you look and feel good at any age - an esthetician is your skin's best friend. They help you learn more about your skin and what it needs to be healthy to achieve your skin goals.

Your esthetician is licensed to help you improve the appearance of your skin by understanding the role that lifestyle habits and home care play in the overall health of your skin.

With the guidance of your esthetician, you can take the guesswork out of skin care. Schedule your virtual consultation and let’s achieve your skin goals together.

When we feel stressed our brain releases cortisol – a stress hormone. When this hormone is released our bodies experience various reactions including:

• Increased inflammation

• Impaired wound healing

• Excessive sebum secretion

If we leave stress unchecked it can make our skin more sensitive triggering acne and other skin conditions like hives, eczema and rosacea.

Try reducing your stress levels by listening to your favorite music, journaling, dancing or going for a walk.

#loveyourskinchallenge #healthyskin #acnespecialist #acneexpert #nycesthetician #brooklynesthetician #correctiveskincare

It’s important to understand the differences in scope of practice between an esthetician and a dermatologist.

An esthetician is not licensed to diagnose skin disorders or diseases, your dermatologist is. They may often prescribe specific medications and are licensed and trained to perform procedures, from removing cysts and growths to performing skin biopsies. They can also provide appearance enhancement treatments.

An esthetician is licensed to help improve the appearance of your skin by understanding the role of lifestyle habits and skincare use. They perform specialized treatments like facials, chemical peels and dermaplaning that target the outermost layers of the skin.

Beauty sleep isn’t called beauty sleep for nothing.

Your skin works its hardest at night. While you’re sleeping your body is in a state of recovery. Getting enough sleep helps your skin cells to regenerate and allows you to wake looking and feeling refreshed.

Start winding down earlier in the evening instead of waiting right before bed. Do your skincare routine as soon as you get while you have the energy. Try journaling or reading, darkening your bedroom and leaving your phone in another room to help you fall asleep easier.

Serums contain highly concentrated performance ingredients that penetrate the skin to target specific skin conditions and skin types.

They are applied under your moisturizer or mask helping to increase hydration and nourishment to the skin. They aid in strengthening, healing and repairing the skin.

Like most skincare, serums come in various formulations and should be incorporated into your routine based on what your skin needs.

Hydrating serums: Provide the skin with an extra boost of hydration. They are ideal for all skin types and great for dehydrated skin.

Key ingredients: hyaluronic acid, cucumber, aloe vera

Brightening serums: Designed to reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone to reveal brighter, radiant skin.

Key ingredients: niacinamide, kojic acid, mandelic acid

Anti-aging serums: Help fight the signs of aging by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and promote collagen production.

Key ingredients: vitamin C, peptides, retinol

Acne-fighting serums: Formulated to help unclog pores and reduce inflammation. They can be used to treat existing acne and prevent future breakouts.

Key ingredients: mandelic acid, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide

Though your face is what the world sees, the skin on the rest of your body is just as likely to experience moisture loss and sun damage. This makes it vital to practice good skin care everywhere.

Remember, your skin is your first line of defense for your body. A simple body care routine should include cleansing, exfoliating 2-3x a week, moisturizing daily, and applying SPF.

And don’t forget your hands. The skin on your hands is thinner than the skin on your face which means it’ll show signs of aging sooner.

Cold weather, dry environments or frequent hand-washing (especially with hot water)can reduce your skin’s ability to retain moisture.

#loveyourskinchallenge #healthyskin #bodycare #correctiveskincare #nycesthetician #brooklynesthetician #blackesthetician #nycacneexpert #nycskincareblog

Hydrated skin is happy skin.

When we talk about hydration, we’re talking about water and your skin’s ability to retain it.

The skin’s protective barrier is made up of oil, sweat and water and it protects the skin from irritation and water loss. When this barrier is compromised or damaged, it leads to breakouts and dehydration.

Incorporating products into your routine like hydrating toners, serums and sheets masks are a great way to give your skin a much needed hydration boost.

When you hear “you are what you eat” – believe it!

What you eat is as important as the products that you put on your skin. Certain foods can trigger acne breakouts and other skin conditions.

As a general rule of thumb a well-balanced nutrient-dense diet that’s high in protein, healthy fats, and vitamins is recommended to support all aspects of health, including your skin.

Incorporate foods rich in antioxidants. Their anti-inflammatory benefits help protect your skin and your body.

#loveyourskinchallenge #healthyskin #balanceddiet #skinhealth #acneexpert #nycesthetician #brooklynesthetician #nycskincareblog

The difference between the skincare products your esthetician offers and what you can buy at the store is the quality of ingredients.

High-quality products provide unique formulations that contain nourishing and skin transforming ingredients at higher concentrations.

While these products often come with a higher price tag, they last longer because you don’t need as much, saving you money in the long run.

Quality ingredients yield quality results.

We often spend so much time looking at the things we don’t like about our skin or the things we want to change.

However, we don’t spend nearly as much time on the things that are beautifully unique to each of us and the bigger role our skin plays in our lives.

Your skin is the first line of defense against bacteria and viruses that can make you sick. Your skin supports and protects all other organs in your body and plays a role in maintaining the immune system. When exposed to UV rays, the skin produces Vitamin D, an essential vitamin for healthy skin. These are just to name a few!

Take some time today thanking your skin for all it does. Write down three things you love about your skin and keep this near as positive reinforcement every time you look in the mirror.

Your skin is worth loving no matter what!

Alpha hydroxy acids are naturally occurring acids derived from fruit, nuts, milk, or sugars.

They help dissolve the “glue” that holds dead skin cells together helping to speed up the cell turnover process to reveal brighter and smoother skin.

In addition to helping exfoliate the skin, AHA’s can help target and improve certain skin conditions. Lactic acid, derived from milk proteins, helps increase natural moisturizers and lipids within the skin. Mandelic acid, derived from bitter almonds, helps improve skin tone and is a staple when targeting oily skin and acne.

Beta hydroxy acids work similarly to AHA’s in dissolving the glue between dead skin cells. Salicylic acid is the most common BHA that goes into the pores to help unclog them. It also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties so it works well for treating oily and acne-prone skin as well.

One of the worst things you can do for your skin is sleep in your makeup.

The skin renews itself while you sleep, and when you leave makeup on, you’re slowing that renewal process. A lot of makeup is oil based, so sleeping in your makeup can clog your pores contributing to breakouts.

If you’re not already doing it, the best way to remove your makeup, is to double cleanse.

Start with an oil or cream cleanser to breakdown makeup, oil and dirt, working it into the skin for 1-2 minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water.

Follow with a gentle gel or foaming cleanser for a deeper cleanse, working it into the skin for an additional 1-2 minutes, before rinsing and patting your face dry with a clean towel.

When the weather changes, so should your skincare. What works well in the summer might not work well for winter.

During the cold months it’s easy for your skin to feel dry and become dehydrated but incorporating, hydrating mists, heavier moisturizers and balms can provide some relief.

In the summer, your skin may feel more oily so lighter, water-based moisturizers can help balance the skin.

Remember to apply your sunscreen year-round!

When doing your skincare routine, please don’t forget your neck and décolleté.

Because this area has fewer oil glands than your face, it tends to show signs of aging sooner, making it more susceptible to sunspots, fine lines and wrinkles.

Treat this area as an extension of your face, so take your serums, moisturizers and sunscreen down to your neck and chest!

#loveyourskinchallenge #healthyskin #antiaging #nycesthetician #brooklynesthetician #blackesthetician #nycacneexpert #customizedskincare #sunscreenawareness

Skin self-exams can help you find skin cancer early.

Use the “ABCDE” method when conducting your self-exam and monitoring any moles you have. Check for changes in the asymmetry, border, color, diameter and if your mole is evolving.

If you notice a spot that differs from the others, or one that changes, itches, or bleeds, make an appointment to see a dermatologist.

A customized home care routine is an important investment when it comes to achieving healthy skin and reaching your skin goals.

It’s also important that you’re using the right products for your skin type and your skin concerns and that you’re applying them in the correct order, to achieve the best results.

Your morning routine should focus on preventing sun damage and protecting the skin. It should consist of a gentle cleanser, a serum, a moisturizer and broad-spectrum sunscreen, applied in that order from thinnest to thickest.

Your evening routine should focus on helping your skin recover and repair while you sleep. It should consist of a cream or an oil cleanser used for your first cleanse, a gel cleanser for your second cleanse, a serum, and a moisturizer.

Your routine doesn’t need to be 10 steps long. Sticking to the essentials and staying consistent is what drives results.

There are two main forms of exfoliation: physical/mechanical and chemical.

Physical exfoliation is the process of using a textured material to slough off dead skin to reveal brighter skin underneath.

Chemical exfoliation uses fruit or plant enzymes, hydroxy acids or retinol to penetrate the skin and break down the glue that holds dead skin cells together.

Be mindful about the type of exfoliant you’re using and that you don’t over-exfoliate. You can cause micro-tears, irritation, and a compromised skin barrier.

Antioxidants are molecules that contain an extra electron that they donate to a free radical without making themselves unstable.

They protect the skin and reduce the oxidation reaction caused by free radicals. Antioxidants are vital in supporting healthy cellular function and preventing premature aging. They promote collagen production, enhance elasticity, and help minimize UV damage.

You're exposed to free radicals everyday so while you can't avoid them entirely, incorporating antioxidants can help protect your skin.

#antioxidants #loveyourskinchallenge #nycesthetician #brooklynesthetician #blackesthetician #acneexpert #nycacnespecialist #correctiveskincare #healthyskin #skintips #antiagingskincare

To put it quite simply, your face is filthy. From the makeup, dirt and pollution of your everyday life, but also from natural oil and sweat secretions.

Cleansing is a vital first step in any effective skincare routine. When you cleanse you’re dissolving makeup, and removing oil and dirt to help create a clean canvas to apply the rest of your skincare products. Cleansing serves as a long-term anti-aging step in your routine.

Double cleansing at night is a two part process. Start with a cream or oil cleanser to breakdown the oil, dirt, makeup and sunscreen that’s been on your face all day. Follow this with your second cleanser for a targeted, thorough cleanse.

With daily use, your makeup brushes accumulate product, oil, dust, dead skin cells and bacteria.

While it’s not the most fun thing to do and it can be time consuming, if you’re not washing your brushes regularly you’re doing your skin a disservice.

You should be cleaning your brushes and sponges at least weekly and multiples times a week if you’re acne prone. Your skin will thank you for it!

Cleaning your brushes regularly can also help with smoother makeup application.

Dump all products past their expiration date.

Expired products are less effective and can lead
to bacteria buildup and breakouts. Most skincare products will have a PAO (period after opening) symbol on the back or bottom of the container. This is a number followed by an M and an open jar icon. The PAO symbol tells you how many months after opening a product, it should be thrown away. For example, a “12M” would mean the product should be thrown out 12 months after you've opened it.

Sunscreen usually has an expiration date of two years. Your moisturizers, serums, and cleansers will be good for anywhere between six months to a year depending on the ingredients.

Even if a product hasn’t reached its expiration date, be sure to check for changes in color, smell and texture. If you notice a change in your products it’s time to throw them away.

Sunscreen is the final and most important part of your daily routine.

Sunscreen helps reduce signs of aging, minimizes the appearance of dark spots and reduces your risk of skin cancer. It’s a MUST when it comes to maintaining healthy skin. Sunscreen should be reapplied every two hours and should be worn EVERYDAY, even in the winter.

Sunscreen can either be mineral or chemical.

Mineral sunscreens contain mineral compounds that physically reflect, or scatter ultraviolet radiation. They naturally provide broad spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays.

Key ingredients: zinc oxide, titanium dioxide

Chemical sunscreens contain organic compounds that work by absorbing UV rays into the skin changing them to heat, then releasing them from the skin.

Key ingredients: avobenzone, oxybenzone, homosalate

Your skin is beautifully unique and your skincare journey will be unique as well. What worked for your friend won’t work for you and vice versa.

Comparing your skin to others is an unhealthy habit, that often leads to negative self-perception and negative self-talk about your skin, that can affect your self-esteem.

In the age of social media, it can be easy to fall into the trap of comparing your skin to others but it’s important to remember that many of these beauty standards are UNREALISTIC!

Focus on building and maintaining a good skincare routine that gives your skin what it needs, set practical expectations for yourself and be patient with the process.
