One facial is a treat. Six facials are a treatment.⁣ 👏🏼👏🏼
⁣
I have a large handful of clients who have not done any advanced treatments like microneedling, deep chemical peels or Hydrafacials, and only come in to the studio for their monthly facial/light peel. They use daily sunscreen, and they have their skincare routine dialed in at home, morning and night. ⁣
⁣
Their skin looks radiant, looks healthy, and looks brighter, younger and clearer. ⁣

Swipe to see some client transformations! ⁣

You don’t need a huge budget to have the skin of your dreams, just the commitment to doing the small actions daily and monthly.

I’m ecstatic to be celebrating one year in business as a full-time solo aesthetician –𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘣𝘺 𝘮𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴!⁣

If you’re an OG, that is to say, a client who’s come in to the studio anytime from October 2022 - October 2023, I have a skincare goodie bag for you to enjoy! Collect your goodie bag at your next treatment, anytime before December 31st, 2023. ⁣

PS: I have some new member benefits up my sleeve that I will be rolling out over the holiday season. To my members, who are my most loyal clients, I am looking forward to sharing these extra perks with you soon!

Is your reason why also your excuse why not? ⁣
⁣
I know for me, it’s extremely easy to fall into this disempowering pattern. ⁣
⁣
Part of the reason why I am a solo aesthetician business owner is so that I can create a schedule around my kids while earning $$ for my family. Being able to show up for them, especially in their first year has meant a lot to me, it’s been extremely challenging but it’s also something I’m really proud of.⁣
⁣
At the same time, it’s extremely easy to use the excuse that I don’t have enough time now that I’m a mom of two very young kids to show up fully for my business. ⁣
⁣
What’s your why/why not? ⁣

Food for thought 🤔

Don’t get stuck having to reschedule your treatment this fall! Proper prep means you get the most from your treatment investment –plus, these guidelines are in place to keep you safe.⁣
⁣
1. No direct sun exposure - this compromises your skin barrier, and active ingredients can no longer be used until your visible sun exposure has passed, (especially important if you’re receiving a chemical peel!)⁣
⁣
2. Stop actives 3 days before - this includes higher % AHA and BHAs like glycolic acid or salicylic acid, as well as retinol. ⁣
⁣
3. Exercise the day before, or the morning of - this is also important if you’re going in for a chemical peel, as you do not want any additional heat under the skin when receiving a peel. ⁣
⁣
4. Reschedule if you have a fever blister or cold sore - doing a treatment can aggravate a sore, ultimately making it worse. ⁣
⁣
5. No Botox or Fillers within two weeks - this ensures that your filler and Tox stays put, and that professional ingredients do not adversely interact with your injectables.

The reason I love being an aesthetician is because I receive so much joy in helping others increase their self-esteem, confidence, and self-worth through treatments and skincare. I believe mental health is impacted by how you show up for your self care. Practicing aesthetics is my favorite form of self care because it allows your inner beauty and personal growth to shine through your skin, creating a positive cycle of confidence and empowerment. 🤩
