11/6/2022 0 Comments Fall/Winter Skin PrepThere's no sugar coating this: winter in Canada is BRUTAL for our skin and often times our mood. As a chronically dehydrated skin, eczema-prone, seasonal affective disorder sufferer myself, I want to share the skin & lifestyle tips that keep my skin, mind and body feeling loved and healthy.
We can't escape it, so together let's embrace it shall we?

As I continue to evolve as an aesthetician, I've gained a greater understanding of what it truly takes to get our skin to it's happy place.
What does that mean? When the skin is balanced in oil and water, turns over at a healthy rate, radiates a natural warmth and glow and is free of dysfunction, THAT is it's happy place. While I specialize in feeding it the external nutrients (skincare) and energy (though technology) to support its overall health, it is equally important to nourish the organ from the inside out to obtain optimal lasting results. I’m no spring chicken. Your girl is now closer to her mid-30s than early 30’s and like most women, I used to dread and fear the aging process. Wrinkles, sagging skin, sun spots, back pain, debilitating hangovers… please count me out! Yet, as I progress through my 30’s I’ve found that my perspective on aging has shifted significantly. For anyone who doubts that they could ever be gung-ho about aging, read and take notes. Looking and feeling damned good in your 30’s and onwards is in fact, possible, with the right tools, techniques & mindset of course 😉.
These are the non-negotiable skincare products and practices that will make all the difference in your 30s+ but trust me, you’ll want to start them in your 20s (I wish I did). Here we go… This is a difficult story to tell. It involves a lot of personal emotional pain but also has a happy ending and it is an unfiltered account of my skin journey.
You know what’s crazy to me? That the majority of people out there shop for skincare without ever having a skin consultation performed in their lifetime. One thing you need to know about working with the skin successfully is that the first step to investing in your skin, starts with the skin consultation.
Our primary knowledge of treating our skin comes from the female leads in our lives and now, it’s TikTok, Insta/Youtube influencers and our girlfriends. Most of these are actually terribly inaccurate sources of information, UNLESS, you’re following a band of qualified aestheticians. Let’s be real though, the majority of people out there really aren’t, but they really need help with their skin. 1/20/2021 0 Comments Skincare 101Navigating the world of skincare can be a daunting one, am I right? We have an unending parade of choices available to us. We can shop online, at Sephora and even our local grocery stores for skincare. We can choose between clean beauty, influencer finds and celebrity skincare lines (the most recent fad, despite being less than qualified to give skincare advice) #sorrynotsorry.
So how do you build an effective skincare routine that will work? Let me break it down. 1/16/2021 4 Comments The Quest for Healthy SkinMany of you know I’m all about the details. I love the presentation on a dinner plate and the personal touch of a hand-written letter. I also love to share my greatest beauty tips and most of all, educate my clients, you guys, any chance I get! Naturally, I wanted to put everything I’ve learned and experienced thus far into a platform that doesn’t spare the details.
