Benefits of Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a method of exfoliation that gently removes the top-most layer of skin using a sterile surgical scalpel. This treatment painlessly gets rid of dead skin and peach fuzz to reveal a smooth and bright complexion, with no downtime.
Other benefits of getting a dermaplane treatment are that the skin will absorb skincare products better and makeup will apply smoother. Clients can receive this treatment regularly (once a month) as a lone treatment or added onto their favorite facial!

Sweet Skin Tips
Sweet tips for treating your skin with love this Valentine’s season 🥰
- Don’t sleep in makeup – Makeup residue clogs pores and leads to breakouts, need we say more?
- SPF is your BFF – Wearing sunscreen daily and reapplying frequently, helps prevent the skin from harmful UV rays that cause skin cancer. It also protects the skin from sunburn and prevents premature aging.
- Get a skin exam – It’s important to visit a dermatology clinic for a skin exam at least once a year to look for any signs of skin cancer or irregularities.
- Exfoliate weekly – Regular exfoliation helps prevent acne, reduces oil, and improves skin health.
- Results take time – Remember, skin goals don’t happen over night and consistency is key.
- Don’t skip your neck – Applying your skincare products to your neck is just as important as your face. The skin on your neck is thinner and just as prone to other skin concerns.
New Year Resolutions: Skin Care Edition
2023 is the year to invest in your skin ✨ Here are some ways how:
- Wear sunscreen daily & reapply often – Regardless of rain or shine, it’s important to always wear sunscreen. Don’t forget to reapply every two hours, or sooner if you’re in water!
- See a dermatologist for a skin exam – It’s important to visit a dermatology clinic for a skin exam at least once a year to look for any signs of skin cancer or irregularities.
- Remove makeup before bed – Makeup residue clogs pores and leads to breakouts, need we say more?
- Stop picking at breakouts – Picking at breakouts and popping pimples increases the risk of developing scars. Squeezing can also push bacteria deeper into the skin, increasing swelling and redness.
- Invest in medical grade skincare products – Medical grad products often have stronger active ingredients and more clinical research backing them, which guarantees results.
- Get treatments regularly – Treat yourself and promote health, healing and rejuvenation of the skin.

Spooky Skincare
In honor of spooky season, let’s talk spooky skincare. Avoid committing these 9 skin sins.
- Over exfoliating – Exfoliating too often can lead to rough, dehydrated, patchy and flakey skin. Signs of over exfoliation are redness, dryness, flakiness, acne, increased oil production and shine.
- Touching the product dropper to your skin – Dropper applicators should not touch the skin. That gives bacteria the opportunity to enter and contaminate the product.
- Sleeping in makeup – Not removing makeup before bed can lead to inflammation, irritation, premature aging and more.
- Taking skincare advice from influencers – Most of the time, skincare influencers have not done the proper schooling to give accurate advice about the skin. Instead, take advice from dermatologists and licensed aestheticians who see and know your skin.
- Ghosting your appointment – Don’t miss out on the opportunity to give your skin professional treatments. Plus, ghosting appointments usually leads to a no-show or late cancelation fee.
- Not wearing sunscreen – Sunscreen is vital in reducing the risk of skin cancer and premature aging.
- Buying products off of Amazon – Always check to make sure you are buying skincare products from an authorized seller. Shopping skincare from Amazon runs the risk of buying counterfeit or expired products, sometimes at a higher sticker price than the retail one.
- Skipping annual skin exam – Regular skin exams by a dermatologist are important to examine the skin, identify concerns, and screen for early signs or symptoms of skin cancer.
- At home treatments – These usually do more harm than good. It’s best to go to the professionals for any and all treatments.
