COMMON SKIN CARE MISTAKES 🤷♀️
Mistake #1: Sun damage is the number one cause of wrinkles, fine lines and discoloration (not to mention skin cancer)
☀️ Pro tip: The easiest way to prevent sun damage skin from premature aging is to protect it! Wear SPF 30 -50 every day outside of your makeup - even on cloudy days, even if you have darker skin. SPF is essential for asking times, no matter how much melanin you have.
Mistake #2: If your skin is oily, moisturizing may not feel like the right choice – but it is, because your skin will produce even more oil if you don’t moisturize it.
🧴 Change it up: In the summertime you’ll want to switch out your cream moisturizer for a lighter moisturizer if you have oily skin.
Mistake #3: It may seem logical to wash your face with hot water – after all, you wash your body in a hot shower. Your face is delicate and hot water strips it’s natural oils, causing dryness, sensitivity, and or over stimulation of your oil glands.
💦 Wash this way: Use lukewarm water to wash your face 2x daily.
Mistake #4: A little exfoliation is a good thing, it removes dead skin and brightens the skin tone. However, over exfoliating will deplete the natural oils your skin needs for hydration and protection.
💡Tip: It’s best to exfoliate 2-3 times a week
Mistake #5: The main products you should be using in your regimen:
Cleanser, vitamin C serum, moisturizer, eye cream, sunscreen, and vitamin A.
Mistake #6: squeezing or picking pimples will damage your skin and create scarring which will take much longer to heal than that original pimple.
💡Tip: Apply a spot treatment that contains salicylic acid, mandelic acid and or Benzoyl peroxide to reduce inflammation and p. Acne bacteria. Then step away from the mirror!
Mistake #7: The first wash removes make up and or grime from the day and the second cleans actually cleanses the skin!
🧼 Tip: Use an oil cleanser first to remove makeup then follow it up with a gentle cleanser or foaming cleanser.
Mistake #8: Always apply skin care in order of viscosity - water to serums/gels to lotions/creams.

Resting and recharging this weekend 🔋
This morning I was reflecting on the days when I worked 7 days a week and didn’t know what a weekend truly was 🥴 overworked and burned out was an understatement! I didn’t realize how imperative it was to set boundaries which allowed me to rest and not feel constantly burned out 🥵
Moral of the story is take some time for yourself and focus on the present moment. Enjoy the little things in life ☀️🌸🐾

This quote from James Clear, author of Atomic habits really resonated with me so I thought I’d share.
How many times do we set New Year’s resolutions and can’t seem to stick to them after a couple weeks in?! We say we’re going to start investing in ourselves and take care of our skin yet here we are - I can attest to that 🙋🏻♀️
According to #jamesclear - you want to focus on building a system and developing a process rather than achieving a goal or outcome. I’m taking a new perspective on goal setting this year, who’s with me?! 🙏✍️

5 common skin care myths 😮
1) “Dermatologist Tested” is not an official certification, it’s just a marketing slogan. Legally, this should mean that at least one dermatologist did test the product, it doesn’t mean the FDA, the American Academy of Dermatology, or any other organization endorses the product. Be wary of this claim if you can’t identify the source of the endorsement 🔑
2) Many products (not just sunscreen) have SPF protection. However, not all products protect for both UVA and UVB rays. Many make-up products for example, offer only protect for UVA. If you’re going to be in the sun, make sure any exposed area is protected from both types of damaging rays.
3) This is a common misconception that I tend to hear often. Retinol will NOT thin your skin. I repeat… 🗣
Now, you can over exfoliate your skin if using a RX retinoid too often but it will not thin your skin.
4) Eating chocolate is not the only culprit that is causing breakouts. Although, consuming too much sugar in your diet is not good for your skin and can perpetuate conditions such as acne. Try to reduce your intake and consume dark chocolate or cacao 🍫
5) Just because you have oily skin does NOT mean you don’t need a moisturizer. In fact, your skin will over produce oils for the lack moisture. People with oily skin should look for a non-comedogenic moisturizer and avoid products with cocoa butter and mineral oil.

New Year resolution mantra 👇
“Less makeup more skincare” 🎉
🍊L-ascorbic acid: Vitamin C is essential for ALL skin types, when applied topically, vitamin C can help protect your skin from free radical damage and helps reduce visible fine lines/wrinkles, dark spots, and more. Apply a TRUE l-ascorbic acid Vitamin C serum which is the most stable and active ingredients.
TIP: Apply every morning after cleansing, followed by sunscreen.
🌱Bakuchiol: derived from the bakuchiol seeds, this botanical powerhouse acts similar to retinol and an antioxidant helping to improve the visible signs of aging. Plus, known common benefits diminish the potential for irritation. Bakuchiol helps with the appearance of fine lines/ wrinkles, pigmentation, elasticity & hyperpigmentation.
TIP: Apply 1-2x a day for best results.
🧬Hylauronic Acid: few ingredients can help you achieve the intense levels of moisturization that hyaluronic acid can. The hydration powerhouse can hold up to 1000x its weight in water, plumping the skin with moisture, so it looks soft, smooth, and more youthful.
TIP: Apply 2x a day for best results, use HA as your moisturizer.
🌱Vitamin A: a derivative of retinol has been around forever. Its track record speaks for itself as one of the best ingredients for skin. It helps to fight key signs of aging like deep wrinkles, large pores, acne scarring and works to smooth and brighten your complexion.
TIP: Apply 2-3x a week (PM use only)
First time users: Work your skin up, I suggest applying HA underneath to act as a barrier or use 1x a week for a couple weeks.
🧴Sunscreen: currently, the FDA says that only two sunscreen actives are considered safe and effective: zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are considered mineral (or physical) sunscreens. You should be wearing a broad spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30-50 every day and reapplying often.
TIP: Apply every morning as your last step before make up. Be sure to use sunscreen outside of your make up or moisturizer for full coverage.

When your skin is dry/dehydrated, what is requires most are certain ingredients that help reduce tewl (trans-epidermal water loss). Drinking water will not help with this - but the right products and certain other factors will!
When you drink water, it doesn’t go straight to the skin. Water goes through intestines, gets absorbed into your bloodstream, is filtered by kidneys, then hydrates cells - leaving little left to moisturize.
What DOES hydrate the skin?! 💦
-Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, oils, omega fatty acids, lecithin and glycerin.
☝️Of course drinking water is essential, we wouldn’t last a few days with out it! The bottom line is a good moisturizer combined with omega fatty acid (supplements) will do a lot more good to your skin than guzzling water will.
My FAVORITE products that contain the above are @isclinical reparative moisture emulsion, @dmkinternational EFA supplements, seba-a & herbal pigment oil combined with herb + mineral spray and our Beautopia HA moisturizer!

Have you recently suffered from a breakout after months of having clear skin?! This could be why 😲
B-12 shots 💉
One particular study from UCLA found that vitamin B12 actually changed the gene expression of skin bacteria, which could potentially lead to acne-promoting inflammation 😲
Everyone needs to get a minimum amount of vitamin B12 but taking too much B12 can make your acne worse, and even trigger breakouts when you have clear skin!
STRESS 😰
Stress drives inflammation! adrenal glands which produces cortisol is the stress hormone that increases androgens - causing increased inflammation and making the system more acidic.
TIPS to reduce stress 🔑
-walk in nature
-exercise
-laugh
-deep breathing
-journal
-surround yourself with friends/family
IMPROPER SKIN CARE 🧴
Make sure you’re using non-comedogenic skin care to combat inflammation and kill p. Acne bacteria. Our go to is @facerealityskincare skin line 🧴
DIET 🥘 🥛 🍦
When we’re stressed we tend to turn to foods like dairy, sugar and gluten. Too much of these food groups can lead to increase sebum production, bacteria overload and inflammation.
TIPS 🔑
Incorporate dairy alternative milk such as cashew milk, almond milk or oat milk.
Reduce gluten where you can and limit sugar to once a week instead of binging on chocolate every night 🥲
HORMONAL FLUCTUATIONS
Getting off BC pills can make produce more estrogen as it’s tricking your body to think your pregnant. This can take a few months to resolve! Be patient 💞
Menopause- Some women experience acne during menopause. This is likely due to a drop in estrogen levels or an increase in androgen hormones like testosterone. You may still experience menopausal acne even if you're using hormone replacement therapies (HRTs) to ease your menopause symptoms.
Pregnant - Many women experience acne during pregnancy. It's most common during the 1st/2nd trimesters. An increase in hormones called androgens can cause the glands in your skin to grow and produce more sebum — This oil can clog pores and lead to bacteria, inflammation, and breakouts.
