YOU ARE so much more than a pretty face.
I use what you can see (wrinkles, dryness, dehydration, acne, pigmentation, rosacea, eczema, etc...) to understand and care for all that we can't see.
Your skin is an external compass for your internal world.
ABOUT
I incorporate a variety of naturally occurring peptides and amino acids to gently encourage your skin to healthily produce new skin cells and rid itself of the buildup of old skin cells.
AGING SKIN
If you live, you will age. As a person ages, many changes take place very gradually in the skin. The stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the epidermis, composed of flat, platelike envelopes filled with keratin, the protein that prevents water evaporation. Plump (new) cells are continuously traveling from the lower layers of the epidermis to the upper layers (older cells). When they reach the surface, they will have become flat and scaly, at which point they are sloughed off in a process called desquamation. As aging occurs, this process of desquamation slows (to a crawl- a 10 year old takes about 20 days, a 50 year old takes about 84 days), resulting in a thicker layer of dead skin cells making the surface skin uneven, dull, and have color variances, wrinkles. Production of keratin also slows, which leads to drier skin.
Bioactive Peptides used in tandem with technologies such as Microcurrent, Microchanneling, and in some cases Microdermabrasion, improve your skins ability to absorb this skin food and produce new skin cells to replace the old, ultimately making correction from dysfunction, WITHOUT SUN SENSITIVITY. Peptides and Amino Acids communicate and encourage healthy skin function. Let’s discuss how to achieve your best healthy skin.
The Power of
Bioactive Peptides
Exploring the Union of Nature and Science in Skincare
Our skin, a marvel of nature, acts as a resilient barrier, shielding us from the elements. My journey towards healthier skin began amidst the challenges of teenage acne, a time when effective remedies were scarce. As the years passed, breakthroughs such as Benzoyl Peroxide, Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Retinols, and Hydroquinone emerged, offering relief from acne while highlighting the effects of sun damage and scarring.
Beneath its surface, our skin harbors a complex network of layers that require nourishment and care to support its structure. In the products I proudly offer—Bioactiv Peptides from Viktoria DéAnn, potions from H is for Love, and bee venom nourishment from LaCréme Beauté, —nature and science intertwine seamlessly. These lines blend botanical extracts with advanced formulations like peptides, amino acids, vitamins, and plant stem cells, all grounded in evidence-based research.
I graduated with honors from my aesthetics program at Cinta Aveda Institute. Additional trainings include: Pastiche Advanced Skin Analysis, Advanced EIM Gua Sha (face and full body), Advanced NeoLifting® Facial Sculpting (with Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Buccal Massage), Reiki Master with Energy Cures, Manual Lymphatic Drainage with the Lymphatic Brush, Micro-Current and Micro-Channeling Certification, and Cosmetic Chemistry for Aesthetic Professionals from UCLA. (And my trainings continue, I'm always learning, I LOVE THIS STUFF)!
Through these innovative practices you can achieve a harmonious and health-full balance between nature and science. Embracing this symbiosis, your face blossoms naturally with vitality and radiance. #moreflowmoreglow
