Updated 2023: Corrective Skincare
Looking to REALLY make some progress with your skin? 2020 gave me the chance to really learn about my skin. I tried many products, learned what works....and doesn't....for me. All the experimenting (thankfully) paid off and I’ve never been so pleased with my skin.
I have normal, sometimes dry skin. I have also learned that my skin is super sensitive to the sun and heat. Growing up in southern california, I have a lot of sun damage, including freckles and sun spots. I also developed Melasma from years of fertility drugs and pregnancies, those years took a huge toll on my skin, especially on my face. In my 30’s, I took regular hot yoga bootcamp classes and the heat has also had an efect. The majority of my skincare “correction” has to do with improving the discoloration all over my face.
I've tried my fair share of different products and experimented with lasers & peels, some seeing amazing results, others were blah. I do LOVE my at-home skincare regimen and had to share the products that have literally transformed my skin.
