Acne is often a misunderstood skin condition. First, let’s clear this up: acne is not curable, but it is manageable. With the right approach, breakouts can be controlled and skin health supported long-term.

While it’s commonly associated with teenagers, acne doesn’t stop at adolescence. Many people actually experience their first breakout in their 20s or 30s, and adult-onset acne can show up at any age.

One of the most damaging myths? That acne is caused by poor hygiene. In fact, over-cleansing or using too many harsh products can disrupt your skin barrier and make acne worse. Acne is influenced by many factors—including hormones, inflammation, environment, stress, and genetics—not just how “clean” your skin is.

If a parent had acne, you may be more prone to it, but that doesn’t determine your outcome. Your skin is unique. What matters most is starting a consistent, balanced routine early and adjusting it as your skin evolves.

Acne doesn’t define you—but taking care of your skin is a powerful act of self-respect. Whether you’re managing mild breakouts or something more persistent, support is out there. Finding a skincare professional can make a big difference, and if you’re on a budget, virtual dermatology (a silver lining of the pandemic) can be a great option. If you need a recommendation, feel free to DM me 🩵

Why Your Antihistamine Might Be Drying Out Your Skin 🌵
If your skin’s suddenly feeling parched and you’ve been popping allergy meds, it might not be a coincidence. Antihistamines — especially the older, first-generation types — can dry out your skin, and here’s why.

It’s Not Just About Allergies
First-gen antihistamines like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or hydroxyzine don’t only block histamine; they also interfere with acetylcholine, a key player in keeping your body’s moisture levels in check. This “anticholinergic” effect can suppress sweat and oil production — drying out your skin, mouth, and even eyes.

•Sweat = Natural Moisture
Sweat isn’t just for cooling down. It also helps keep your skin hydrated. Reduced sweating means less of that natural glow.

•Sebum Takes a Hit Too
These meds may also subtly dial down your skin’s sebum (natural oil) production, which is essential for keeping skin supple and protected.

Choose Your Antihistamine Wisely
First-gen versions are more likely to leave you flaky and dry. Second-gen antihistamines like cetirizine (Zyrtec), loratadine (Claritin), or fexofenadine (Allegra) tend to be kinder to your skin. Allergies are annoying enough without desert-level dryness. Choose wisely, hydrate often, and don’t forget your moisturizer.

Taking a daily tablespoon of high-quality olive oil can nourish your skin from the inside out. Glowing skin starts in the gut—cheers to your daily dose of beauty! Consult your GP if this is right for you 😘
The goods:
🫒 Polyphenols like oleocanthal + hydroxytyrosol fight inflammation + free radicals.
💧 Squalene boosts collagen + skin elasticity.
🛡️ Vitamin E protects against oxidative stress.
🌿 Plant Sterols calm inflammation + support a healthy glow.

I’ve always been a fan of red LED light therapy—it’s been around for years, it’s safe and effective. If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ve probably seen me lounging in a red LED bed on my stories.

Honestly, I think in the future red LED salons will be a thing. And for good reason.

Red LED beds use low-level red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular repair and regeneration—delivering full-body benefits with zero downtime.

Why I love it:
✨ Skin Rejuvenation – Encourages collagen production, evens skin tone, softens fine lines, and calms inflammation.
💪 Muscle Recovery – Aids in healing, eases post-workout soreness, and speeds up recovery.
😴 Sleep & Mood Support – Helps balance circadian rhythms and boosts melatonin production.
🔥 Inflammation Reduction – Can support pain relief and soothe symptoms tied to chronic conditions and autoimmune disorders.

This is full-body wellness from the inside out 🕺

Pre-aging is the stage before visible aging sets in—when collagen production slows, and early signs like fine lines, dullness, and uneven texture emerge. Recognizing when this shift occurs helps you adjust your skincare routine to maintain long-term skin health.

Pre-Aging Turning Points by Skin Tone🌈
Different skin tones experience pre-aging at varying times due to melanin levels:
•Fair Skin (Fitz I & II) – Around 25: More prone to sun damage and early fine lines. Focus on SPF, antioxidants, hydration, and retinoids.
•Medium Skin (Fitz III & IV) – Around 30: Hyperpigmentation and collagen loss start. Use SPF, niacinamide, peptides, and retinoids.
•Darker Skin (Fitz V & VI) – Around 35: Later onset but prone to uneven tone and texture. Gentle exfoliation, brightening agents, and hydration are key.

Lifestyle Matters🧘
Sun exposure, diet, stress, and sleep significantly impact pre-aging. A well-rounded skincare routine with consistent SPF, antioxidants, and collagen-supporting ingredients is essential to delay visible aging.

#wellbeing #holisticwellness #wellnesslifestyle

Spring is a time of renewal—not just for nature but also for your skincare routine. Warmer temperatures, increased humidity, and stronger UV rays mean it’s time to adjust your regimen.

✨Refresh with Exfoliation
During winter for most skin types less exfoliation is beneficial to keep the skin barrier resilient to dry colder weather. So when temperatures rise, shed winter dullness with gentle exfoliation using enzymes or mild AHAs/BHAs. Avoid over-exfoliating to protect your skin barrier.

✨Switch to Lighter Moisturizers
Ditch heavy winter creams for hydrating gels or lightweight lotions with hyaluronic acid or glycerin. This keeps skin balanced without clogging pores. (If you have dry skin or mature skin lacking oil— continue with your products.)

✨Prioritize Sunscreen
With increased UV exposure, if you're active outdoors a daily SPF 30+ is a must. I personally prefer an all-in-one moisturizer mineral sunscreen.

✨Boost with Antioxidants
Use vitamin C, niacinamide, etc. to protect against pollution and UV damage while brightening skin.

✨Adjust Your Cleansing Routine
Swap thick cream cleansers for a gentle gel or foaming cleanser if your skin gets oilier. Double cleanse at night if wearing SPF or makeup.

✨Consider a Peel or Laser Treatment
Spring is the perfect time for lasers or chemical peels before summer. Now is the time to address skin concerns.

✨Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water, eat hydrating foods, and use a facial mist to keep skin fresh.

✨Watch for Seasonal Sensitivity
Spring allergies, climate shifts, and increased sun can trigger irritation. Keep @aveneusa thermal water in your cabinet😘

Pore size is largely determined by genetics, much like eye color or hair texture. While skincare can improve their appearance, you can’t permanently shrink them.

What Determines Pore Size?
• Skin Type: Oily skin tends to have larger pores due to increased sebum production.
• Collagen & Elasticity: Higher collagen levels keep pores tighter, but aging can make them appear larger.
• Ethnicity & Genetics: Different ethnic backgrounds influence pore size based on oil production and skin structure.

How to Minimize Their Appearance
While you can’t change your genetics, you can refine pores with:
✔ Gentle cleansing & exfoliation (salicylic acid, AHAs)
✔ Retinoids to boost cell turnover and collagen
✔ Daily SPF to prevent UV damage and collagen breakdown
✔ Professional treatments (lasers, microneedling, peels)

Reminder: you can’t shrink pores permanently, keeping them clean and healthy can make them look smaller and more refined. That said, I encourage my clients not to fixate on them—most people don’t actually have large pores. We’ve just become accustomed to airbrushed photos and makeup that blur them out. In reality, visible pores are normal and part of healthy skin.

Aging is a natural part of life, but the way we experience it—both physically and emotionally—can be influenced by more than just genetics and skincare routines. Energy work, a practice that balances the body’s energetic systems, is gaining recognition as a powerful tool for promoting graceful aging. By addressing the mind-body connection, energy work supports vitality, relaxation, and overall well-being, which in turn reflects on the skin and body.

How Energy Work Supports Aging
✨Reduces Stress and Inflammation
Chronic stress accelerates aging by increasing inflammation and depleting the body’s natural reserves. Modalities like Reiki, acupuncture, and reflexology help regulate the nervous system, shifting the body from a stress-driven state to one of deep relaxation. This reduction in stress hormones can support healthier skin, improve sleep, and enhance cellular repair.

✨Enhances Circulation and Detoxification
Techniques such as lymphatic drainage, breathwork, and sound healing stimulate circulation, encouraging detoxification and oxygenation of the skin. This process supports collagen production and helps maintain a youthful glow.

✨Balances Hormones
Energy healing can influence the endocrine system, which regulates hormones that impact aging. Practices like meditation, facial reflexology, and grounding techniques may help balance cortisol.

✨Improves Cellular Regeneration
The body’s ability to repair itself slows with age, but energy work can help maintain optimal function by promoting better energy flow and reducing stagnation. Practices like Qi Gong and acupuncture encourage the body’s natural regenerative processes, supporting longevity from within.

Healthy skin isn’t defined by the absence of wrinkles—it’s defined by a strong, resilient barrier because that is our skin’s primary function: to protect us.

The highlights of my childhood were spent at my grandparents’ ranch, where some of my most cherished memories were made. Yes, that’s me—the little blondie holding the horn. My studio is named in honor of my grandfather, a man with a gentle, kind soul who left a lasting impact on my life.

I loved their Nightcap chocolate so much that I just had to add Brainstorm to the lineup as well.

⚡️Each bite of Brainstorm is formulated to boost long-term cognitive function while also delivering an immediate boost to focus and energy levels.

The long-term benefits come from functional mushrooms. Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps are felt over time — not instantly. When incorporated into a daily routine, the mushrooms’ nutrients compound in your body and become more effective (and noticeable) with sustained use.

But they also know that nothing beats instant gratification. That’s why Alice added Guarana and Phosphaditylserine to their formula. Guarana is a caffeinated Brazilian berry that provides a smooth flow of energy, and Phosphaditylserine is a fatty acid that improves alertness, reaction time, thinking speed, and focus throughout the day. Each square contains 66mg of natural caffeine which is equivalent to ⅔ cup of coffee.

The result: an indulgent daily routine that’s good for you and only gets better with time.

Ingredients:
Fairly traded organic dark chocolate, organic Lion’s Mane and organic Cordyceps from 100% fruiting body mushrooms, guarana and phosphatidylserine. Each square contains 66mg of natural caffeine which is equivalent to ⅔ cup of coffee Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and kosher.

Lactic acid serum is a powerhouse for skin health, offering gentle yet effective exfoliation. As an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), it dissolves dead skin cells, promoting cell turnover for a brighter, smoother complexion. Unlike harsher exfoliants, lactic acid also acts as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin, making it ideal for dry or sensitive skin types. It helps fade hyperpigmentation, refine texture, and support a stronger skin barrier. Regular use can improve hydration, even tone, and give the skin a radiant, youthful glow.

Fun fact 😘Historically, Cleopatra is said to have bathed in sour milk, which naturally contains lactic acid, to maintain her legendary smooth and radiant skin.

Dermatoporosis is becoming a more prominent concern as we live longer, but there are proactive steps you can take to protect and strengthen your skin. Preventing damage early and addressing fragile skin can help maintain healthier, more resilient skin as you age. Excitingly, this year may bring new product launches aimed at supporting skin health in this area. Additionally, discussions around the role of vitamin D supplementation and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are gaining attention as potential aids in managing dermatoporosis.

Understanding the difference between dry and dehydrated skin is important to avoid winter breakouts caused by using the wrong products. Dry skin lacks oil, requiring rich moisturizers with lipids like ceramides or squalane to replenish the skin barrier. Dehydrated skin, on the other hand, lacks water and benefits from humectants like hyaluronic acid or glycerin, paired with a light moisturizer to seal in hydration. Misidentifying your skin’s needs can lead to overloading it with heavy products or skipping essential hydration, so tailor your routine carefully to keep your skin balanced and healthy during the colder months.

Working in “medical skincare” for most of my career gave me a strong foundation in understanding surgery, lasers, and injectables—knowledge that has broadened my perspective on aging and treating various skin disorders. At the same time, I’ve always brought a therapeutic touch to my practice, which feels even more relevant as the industry evolves. I’ve increasingly leaned toward a therapeutic approach, not out of opposition to these technologies, but because I value blending clinical expertise with the therapeutic importance of relaxation.

Our mental state can exacerbate skin conditions and even the aging process itself. While advancements in aesthetics provide tools to enhance appearance, they cannot stop the natural process of aging. At some point, we need to look at our relationship with self and time. I believe that helping clients develop a positive relationship with themselves and with aging is just as essential as the treatments themselves. Also understanding skin conditions, like acne is complex chronic condition; it isn’t a simple “cure,” contrary to the unrealistic narratives sometimes promoted in the industry. This is why I avoid before-and-after photos—they can create false expectations. Managing expectations and providing education fosters better outcomes then promising a flawless result. When clients have a realistic understanding of what to expect, it reduces emotional distress, promoting healthier skin by equipping them with personalized tools for their unique needs and greater acceptance of aging.

I love dermaplaning for the smooth, flawless finish it creates by exfoliating and removing vellus hair. However, I don’t push it because it can be a bit addictive—once you start, you’ll likely want to keep doing it! These are my favorite blades; they’re a step above even the standard surgical blades you might find online. They’re sharper and stay sharp, giving a precise, effective exfoliation that clears away excess skin cells and hair. In my treatments, dermaplaning is always included as part of the experience, not as an add-on.

The Benefits of Topical Estrogen✨
Thankfully, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is now being discussed more openly, which allows individuals to advocate for their health. I believe it’s important to encourage conversations about it, especially when it comes to topical estrogen. Even a simple topical application can help prevent common issues like urinary tract infections (UTIs) and urinary incontinence. These are conditions often seen in elderly care, yet they could be addressed earlier with proper intervention.

In this post, we’ll cover the basics of topical estrogen therapy, which can serve as an introduction to understanding its role in maintaining urogenital health as we age.

As women age, particularly through menopause, vaginal health can change, causing dryness, irritation, and thinning of the vaginal walls. Topical estrogen can offer localized relief without significantly affecting the rest of the body. While some advocate for aging naturally, it’s important to consider quality of life. Just as men use Viagra, women should feel empowered to use preventative care like topical estrogen.

What is Topical Estrogen?
Topical estrogen is a hormone therapy applied directly to the vaginal area to alleviate symptoms associated with low estrogen levels.

Benefits:
* Relieves Vaginal Dryness: Restores moisture, making daily activities and intercourse more comfortable.
* Improves Elasticity and Thickness: Strengthens and rejuvenates vaginal tissues.
* Reduces Irritation and Itching: Soothes symptoms of vaginal atrophy.
* Lowers Urinary Issues: Alleviates urinary urgency and reduces the frequency of infections. Estrogen helps to maintain the natural defense mechanisms of the urinary tract, such as the production of antimicrobial peptides and the maintenance of a healthy vaginal microbiome. These mechanisms help to prevent the colonization and growth of harmful bacteria, reducing the risk of UTIs.

I encourage you to educate yourself and talk to your healthcare provider about your options. If you’d like more in-depth info or book recommendations, let me know!

When I treat hands, people often remark on how underrated a hand massage truly is. There’s a heaviness we carry in our hands from constantly holding a piece of technology that’s become an extension of ourselves. Take time daily to set this device down, allowing the hands to rest, and then gently massage it—easing out the tension and reminding it of a more natural, open state.

Whether it’s due to natural disasters, our own man-made crises, or dissociation we go through in pursuit of normalcy, our hands can hold onto stress in ways we don’t always realize. Taking time to massage this stress out—whether it’s your own hands, a partner’s, or a friend’s—reconnects us to the power of touch. This simple act reminds us of the importance of community and connection, creating a ripple effect that grounds us in the present and strengthens our bond within ourselves and others.

I carry @marieveronique_ for skincare enthusiasts who understand the importance of a healthy skin microbiome, as well as for those with sensitive or sensitized skin. One of my favorite options for skin that can’t tolerate tretinoin but can handle something more advanced is a product that combines encapsulated retinol, retinyl sunflowerseedate, and bakuchiol. These ingredients work synergistically to provide a more intelligent and comprehensive approach to addressing signs of aging.

This product offers a dual benefit: it’s not only a powerful treatment but also a creamy, luxurious nighttime under-eye treatment. The unique formulation leverages three different retinoid actives, delivering gradual yet effective results without the irritation, redness, or discomfort typically associated with retinoids.

Marie Veronique’s Multi-Retinol Night Emulsion employs a smart, load-sharing approach, making it a much stronger option than just increasing retinol percentages. It’s formulated without microbiome-disrupting preservatives commonly found in other retinol products and is both fragrance- and essential oil-free. Plus, it’s ocular-tested, ensuring it won’t irritate the delicate eye area.

My mama came to visit my studio, and instead of the usual reparative work I do for sun exposure, she was able to experience my full therapeutic treatment. It was so special to finally share that with her in my own space.

🐾Reflexology is an ancient healing practice that involves applying pressure to points on the feet, hands, or ears, believed to correspond with different organs and systems. This helps promote relaxation, reduce stress, and boost overall wellness.

📚Reflexology has roots in several cultures:
• Egypt: A 2330 BC tomb shows foot treatments, marking one of the earliest records of reflexology.
• China: Based on traditional Chinese medicine’s meridian theory, reflexology dates back over 2,000 years and is linked to the body’s energy flow (Qi).
• India: Reflexology symbols are seen on Buddha statues, and foot massage (Padabhyanga) is a key part of Ayurveda.
• U.S.: Dr. William H. Fitzgerald introduced “zone therapy” in 1913, evolving into modern reflexology thanks to Eunice D. Ingham in the 1930s.

I’ve been receiving reflexology for about 17 years, and I believe it’s essential to care for your feet beyond just a pedicure. Many people don’t realize that, on average, we begin losing sensation in our feet around the age of 50! However, you can strengthen circulation and maintain a connection to your feet through regular exercise and, of course, reflexology. This practice not only supports overall foot health but can also improve your body’s balance and vitality.

An easy way to approach your skincare routine is to think of your skincare in two parts—morning and night. 🌞🌜

Morning Routine: Prevent & Protect
Start your day by focusing on protecting your skin from the environment. Antioxidants help shield your skin from pollution and extreme weather, while sunscreen acts as a barrier against harmful UV rays. This step is all about strengthening and preserving your skin’s natural defenses.

Night Routine: Repair & Restore
At night, your body goes into repair mode. This is the perfect time to use products correctives that target specific skin concerns like pigmentation, acne, or signs of premature aging. Your evening routine should focus on nourishing your skin and supporting its natural healing process.

“Neurocosmetics,” also known as “Mood Beauty,” is an emerging term in the industry that focuses on the connection between skincare products and the neurological system. This concept is based on the idea that certain skincare ingredients can influence the mood, emotions, and overall mental well-being of individuals.

Here’s an overview 👩🏻‍🏫
Neurocosmetics: These are skincare products formulated with ingredients that interact with the nervous system to provide both dermatological and psychological benefits.

Mood Beauty: A marketing term that emphasizes the mood-enhancing effects of skincare products, suggesting that using these products can lead to improved emotional states.

Active Ingredients: Neurocosmetic products often contain specific ingredients known to affect the release of neurotransmitters or influence neural activity. Examples include peptides, botanical extracts, and essential oils.

Sensory Experience: The textures, scents, and application methods of these products are designed to provide a pleasurable sensory experience, which can contribute to a sense of relaxation and well-being.

I’ve always loved bees. Even as a little girl, I would “play with bees” in my neighbor’s daisy-filled yard. Miraculously, I never got stung! If you care about your skin, it’s important to care about our ecosystem, and bees play a crucial role in it. Their impact on the environment directly benefits skincare through the production of natural ingredients.

Here are some ways bees contribute to skincare through their environmental role:
🌸 Pollination: Bees are essential pollinators for many plants, including those that produce ingredients used in skincare. Plants like chamomile, lavender, calendula, and aloe vera rely on bees for pollination. Healthy bee populations ensure the availability of these botanicals, which are known for their soothing, anti-inflammatory, and healing properties in skincare products.

🌿 Biodiversity: Bees contribute to the biodiversity of ecosystems by supporting the growth of various plant species. Biodiversity is crucial for resilient ecosystems that can produce a wide range of natural ingredients for skincare. This diversity allows for the development of skincare products with different beneficial properties.

I purposely won’t cover bee by-products in skincare because some of the treatments kill bees, and I don’t promote these for ethical reasons. We can support our little but powerful friends by creating environments where they can thrive and advocating for the regulation of harmful pesticides.
Protect bees and, in turn, support healthy skin and a healthy planet! 🌍🐝

🌿Polypodium Leucotomos (PLE)
Polypodium leucotomos is a fern extract native to Central and South America. It has been studied extensively for its photoprotective properties and its ability to mitigate the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on the skin. PLE is rich in antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals generated by UV radiation, thereby reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. Additionally, PLE has been found to enhance the skin’s natural defense mechanisms and DNA repair processes, offering further protection from UV-induced damage.

Photoprotective Effects of PLE
Research suggests that PLE can provide several photoprotective effects on the skin. Studies have shown that PLE can reduce sunburn, erythema (redness), and DNA damage caused by UV radiation. By minimizing these harmful effects, PLE may help prevent the development of actinic keratosis (AK) and skin cancer. However, it’s important to note that while PLE can enhance sun protection, it should not be considered a standalone method. It works best in conjunction with other sun protection measures such as sunscreen and protective clothing.

@innerglowvitamins Sol Defense gummies were created in response to the last decade being the hottest on record, highlighting the need for additional protection beyond sunscreen. CEO and founder of Inner Glow, Dr. Galaria, emphasizes that rising UV levels and temperatures not only impact our environment but also affect our health. “As physicians who diagnose and treat skin cancer, it is imperative to educate the public about the importance of sunscreen and supplementary sun protection methods.” These gummies may also aid in managing melasma and hyperpigmentation.

“Machine-made goods are perfect beyond the original goal. In the modern world, goods are flat, flat, flat. And that, to me, is boring. I’m drawn to natural stuff and unevenness, and to the humanity of things made by hand.”

This philosophy extends to aesthetics too. We have the ability to create aesthetic carbon copies with fillers, and surgery. Losing a sense of beauty in our intricately composed atoms. Additionally, the frequent release of new SKUs in cheap, mass-market skincare contributes to the waste of materials and resources for the sake of product launches.

I value the human touch in everything, from the products we apply to our skin to the confidence that comes from rejecting the man-made “golden ratio” that imposes limits and a narrow view of global beauty.

I love using masks in jars or tubes for regular use because in general they’re more eco-friendly. However, I also like sheet masks or hydrogel masks for travel or special occasions. Hydrogel masks are especially amazing as they help occlude products, preventing evaporation, and are incredible for calming the skin. I keep my regular masks in the shower because I’m more likely to use them there, even if they won’t be left on as long; it increases my usage frequency. I always have some hydrogel masks on hand to throw in my travel bag for quick trips.

Last Sunday, I visited @chromasonic an art installation in Venice that felt like to me a soundbath of colors. 🎨

Got your attention? While neurotoxin and fillers have their place, they’re not the be-all and end-all of skincare. Neurotoxin can help reduce wrinkles and even manage oil and sweat, but it doesn’t address environmental stress, diet, sun damage, texture, or general aging. Fillers restore volume or can be used for augmentation—enhance features but don’t offer the benefits of a comprehensive skincare routine.

People often ask why certain celebrities look flawless. It is because most combine various treatments: neurotoxin, fillers, lasers, facials, and a dedicated skincare regimen (and let’s not forget genetics play a significant role). This might not be realistic for everyone’s budget or philosophy on aging, but it’s important to understand the full picture. Focusing solely on injectables can leave your skin looking lackluster.

If you’re on a budget, prioritize based on your main concerns. Even if facials, lasers, or injectables are out of reach, or once again maybe all of it doesn't align with your philosophy on aging. Regardless lifestyle changes like working out, avoiding alcohol, eating whole foods, drinking water instead of sugary drinks, and wearing sunscreen can significantly improve your skin’s health.

This was before I had my art installed, as I was placing product into my workstation for the first time. Opening the studio has been a wild ride. I was diagnosed by a hormone specialist with adrenal fatigue back in 2018, so you can imagine what 2020 did to me. The modern lifestyle of working long hours and being career-driven in the wrong spaces can make you sick, leading to dependence on health insurance provided by the very entities fueling your sickness. Having my own studio was never about putting my name on something (I couldn’t careless that’s why it’s called Doyle instead of Alisha Doyle); it was about protecting my peace which is now priority to continue healing my body and creating a space for others to do the same.

Many people, including some aesthetic providers, mistakenly view all freckles as sun damage. However, understanding the distinction between ephelides and solar lentigines can help provide accurate skin assessment and care.

It’s also worth noting that freckles are a beauty trend, with many tattooing them onto their faces. I’ve even worked with a well-known actor who had them tattooed. So, before considering laser treatments to minimize freckles or feeling pressured to do so.. remember people are paying for what you have naturally 😘

Knowing your skin and its unique characteristics is the first step to effective skincare.

Heading to the beach? Here are some tips to keep your skin and hair healthy and happy🌞

Avoid Fragrances: if you have sensitive skin, skip perfumes and fragranced lotions, as they can increase the likelihood of sunburn and skin irritation.

Barrier Cream: If you already struggle with dry skin, apply a barrier cream to sensitive areas like your nose, cheeks, and shoulders for extra protection from the sun and saltwater.

Sun-Protective Cover-Up: Consider a beach cover-up made from sun-protective fabric for added style and protection.

Hair Care: Use a leave-in conditioner with UV protection to prevent hair damage from sun exposure.

Antioxidant Serum: Apply an antioxidant serum with vitamin C under your sunscreen to protect against free radicals caused by UV exposure.

Skip Exfoliation: Avoid exfoliating products right before and after the beach to prevent irritation.

Check Expiry Dates: Ensure your sunscreens are not expired, as they can lose effectiveness.

Enjoy the sun safely! 🌊

Fear-mongering in skincare can be destructive. It can lead to unnecessary anxiety. While it’s true that what we put on our skin can be absorbed and have an impact, navigating the wealth of information available can be challenging. Misinformation and fear-based marketing often cloud the facts, making it difficult to discern what is genuinely beneficial from what is not.

We are constantly learning more about how different ingredients and products interact with our skin. With each new discovery, it’s important to approach the information critically and avoid jumping to conclusions based on fear.

I am constantly doing my homework to ensure that all products and services that I promote are safe. This involves rigorous research (daily), staying updated with the latest scientific findings, and consulting with experts. My goal is to provide skincare solutions that are effective without succumbing to the tactics of fear marketing.

Should You Wear Sunscreen?
The question of whether you should wear sunscreen might seem redundant, but it’s worth discussing since there's a plethora of misinformation from podcasters. The sun emits ultraviolet (UV) radiation, a proven human carcinogen. Prolonged exposure to UV radiation can cause basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), which often appear on sun-exposed areas of the skin. Fortunately, these common skin cancers are usually curable when detected and treated early.

UV exposure that leads to sunburn significantly increases the risk of developing melanoma, a dangerous type of skin cancer. Research indicates that UV rays damage the skin and can alter a gene that suppresses tumors, raising the risk of sun-damaged skin cells turning cancerous.

While I can’t convince everyone, especially those who believe sunscreen causes skin cancer, I find this argument similar to debating with someone who thinks the Earth is flat. For those concerned about ingredients, I recommend and carry all-mineral sunscreens. Although I agree with dermatologists that chemical sunscreens are safe, choosing a mineral option can alleviate concerns.

Sunscreen should be your third line of defense. First, seek shade. Second, wear sun-protective clothing. And third, use sunscreen. Sidenote for those promoting sun exposure: there's a recommended amount, which is about 15 minutes of sun exposure daily. So there’s no need to live like a vampire—15 minutes.

In our society, it’s common to see issues in black and white, sometimes making it difficult to find common sense. But if someone prefers premature aging and risks having skin cancer, that’s their choice. Just a reminder: real skin experts aka dermatologists undergo a minimum of twelve years of rigorous training and education. In contrast, even if a podcaster is an MD, they do not possess the same level of specialized knowledge and education regarding skin health.
