Full day 10am to 5pm seeing my fave clients ❤️ crazy to think the last 4 years I’ve built so many amazing relationships through this thing I call a “job”. It doesn’t feel like one at all, instead a creative outlet I get to change the way people feel about their skin. Call or text 704.526.9321 to schedule an appointment with me (I accept new clients by request only) #fyp #explore #explorepage #new #fypage

You actually need a facial every 6-8 weeks if you have a more problematic skin type and every 8-12 weeks for normal facial maintenance 😘 Call or text 704.526.9321 to book an appointment ❤️ #explorepage #explore #foryou #foryoupage #fyp #monday

hair needed a little taming 🤣 I have very wavy/frizzy hair and a LOT of it. What works best for me is just a good old fashioned hair dryer and round brush. Good products also make a huge difference too. I always start with small sections and finish the bangs at the very end. I focus on getting a lot of volume at the root of the hair. Products I love are @bedheadbytigi Queen for a Day to give a lot of volume and bounce @redken Frizz Dismiss Rebel Tame Heat Protectant cream to smooth out frizz and protect from heat @redken Oil for All to lock in weightless moisture @oribe Dry Texturizing spray for lots of fluff and volume @kenraprofessional Volume 25 super hold hair spray is my FAVE (I’m a hairspray girl) #explorepage #hair #explorepage✨ #instagood #instadaily

Skincare myths that drive me nuts and here’s a few of the biggest offenders that I hear all the time.. You CAN you retinol and exfoliants in the summer. In fact, you should continue to use your actives but always paired with an SPF 30+ and higher. It’s always important to be mindful of the sun when using exfoliants but don’t let warm weather deter you from using it completely. Actives should not be used in the case of getting sunburnt. Give the actives a break while your skin heals and be sure to practice safe sun care when get back out there. Sunscreen in your makeup and moisturizer is “enough”. It’s actually NOT enough. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends applying a base layer of SPF 30+ sunscreen directly to your skin after cleansing in the morning, and then waiting a few minutes before applying other products. You can also use a sun protectant spray as a setting spray to reapply sunscreen after it starts wearing off. Most makeup companies dilute the amount of zinc oxide and potency in sunscreen when added to makeup formulas. Same goes with moisturizers. Your lips can absolutely get sunburnt also. If you can see the sun, the sun can see you. Lips are more likely to get sunburned than other areas of the body because they have thinner skin and less melanin The lower lip is also more likely to get sunburned than the upper lip. Try using a little bit of your sunscreen on the lips and an added SPF lip balm. #skincarehacks #myths #lies #noonetoldme #untrue #beautyhacks #cltaesthetician #cltskin #cltesthetician

Last IPL before the summer to remove years of built up sun damage ☀️ This was after 3 treatments and can sometimes take multiple treatments depending on the severity of the case. This can be done anywhere on the body including face, arms, legs and back. Lumecca is an Intense Pulse Light device (IPL) that reduces pigment, hyperpigmentation and can help with vascular lesions. One treatment can take up to 48 hours to fully recover from leaving the skin looking red and splotchy. Small coffee like grinds will appear on the skin and flake off after one week removing all pigmentation that was brought the surface. You can expect one full week until the darker spots have removed. Once the dark spots have fallen off, the skin is left brighter and more radiant. This treatment is best suited for lighter skin tones fits 1-3 skin types. This treatment is not safe during pregnancy but is suitable postpartum. I prefer to do this before warmer months due to sun and heat exposure during summer months that can inflame pigment.

Never skip the night routine 🚫 This is probably the most important part of your skincare routine during the day. Cleansing off all of the dirt, oils and left over makeup on the skin at the end of the night is essential before allowing your skin to replenish and heal itself during your sleep. Inconsistency with your nightly routine can lead to breakouts and fatigued/dehydrated looking skin. My routine is simple and sweet with tretinoin being my most important active ingredient. I use- @biodermausa Cleansing Oil to remove all makeup as my first cleanse in my double cleanse routine. This is gentle enough for all skin types and removes face/eye makeup. In the shower I will use either Obagi Gentle Cleanser, Revision Brightening Cleanser or Skinbetter Cleansing Gel. @revisionskincare DEJ Boosting Serum for evening the tone and balancing the skin. @skinbetter Instant Effect Eye Gel to plump and reduce the appearance of under eye bags. @skinbetter Trio Rebalancing Moisturizer to hydrate and balance the skin. @obagimedical Tretinoin .05 Gel with fish collagen for tightening, firming and anti-aging. Don’t forget to use this on your hands! I use tretinoin 3-4x per week at night. I use this on top of my moisturizer to create a barrier and ease dry skin. @aveneusa Thermal Spring Water Spray to hydrate the skin. #skincare #skin #esthetician #aesthetic #aestheitician #clt #cltskin

When I was in the 5th grade, my math teacher told my parents I cared too much about my outfits. She was right. I love new and vintage pieces @agentprovocateur bustier Vintage Dior Heels
