What inspired you to become an esthetician?
I began just as a lash artist and fell in love with skin care while in school to become an esthetician.
Since then, my journey has become what I now see as my calling. While in school, I realized that there was a lack of education for ethnic skin. My goal now is to fill that gap and educate clients and others on how to care for skin of color and the best treatments.
What is your specialty?
Lash Extensions and Skin Care
What is your signature technique and approach to skincare?
My signature technique is the luxury facial. I include a double cleanse, exfoliation, steam, extractions, facial massage, mask, hand massage, serum, moisturizer and SPF.
My clients love to relax and the facial massage is usually their favorite part. I like to take a conservative and progressive approach to skin, especially with my acne clients.
What’s your skincare regimen?
I like to use a hydrating cleanser and moisturizer, paired with a vitamin C serum and of course SPF. Exfoliating 2x per week.
What’s your favorite serum?
Vitamin C & Hyaluronic Acid
What’s the one skincare product you can’t live without and why?
My green tea and citrus cleanser because of its antioxidant and hydrating properties.
What’s your go-to food or drink that you feel supports your skin or gives it a boost?
Green tea!!
Do you have any skin sins? If so, what are they?
If I’m rushing, I may forget my SPF 🙁
