Daily Facial Maintenance

Are you seeing stress and age creeping in?  Have you neglected your skin a bit and want to advance to your #skingoals faster? We have all been there and even though it can be hard to find the time, or even know what to do, it’s important we keep our skin goals as a priority in our daily beauty routines.If your looking for a way to give your skin optimal care try a series of facial treatments. A series is defined as a set of treatments, where you will come in more frequently from a few to several sessions, on a weekly basis. This will kick up your game and progress much further and faster than you can with the monthly maintenance. This is often done 1-2 x per year as a way to keep your skin looking optimal and slowing down the signs of aging.Skin care protocol for home. Although we recommend regular visits to a skin care professional if you can’t come in monthly, adjusting your homeware regimen can be “just what the doctor ordered.” As seasons change, so do our skin needs. Check your cabinets at home to be sure you aren’t letting old products pile up and spoil, or using things that just don’t work for you anymore. You can come in for a skin care consult and see if its time to use them up or toss them! Ramping up and adjusting products at home can be a total skin savior right about now in the thick of this cold spell we are having in San Francisco!If you aren’t sure what is best for your skin, that’s ok too. Professionals, like myself, are here to do assessments and give you the breakdown on what would really be best for your skin. Don’t hesitate to ask.The internal work must also be done which is about changing the way we see and speak to ourselves, the words we use. Words are very powerful, they are either a blessing or a curse. We typically would never speak to a friend or loved one the way we do ourselves and if we want to feel better shifting the language is the essential first step.You must change the dialogue. Speak to yourself the way you would the person you love the most (which should be you but you may need to work your way to that.) Years ago, I used to have a harsh dialogue with myself. It was so automatic. I had to re-learn how to use my words in a more loving way starting with myself first.We must take the wise words from this beauty, India Arie from her hit song Video. ” I learned to love myself unconditionally because I am a queen.”
