E114: New Year, New Skin: My Continuous Acne Journey - Solutions and what WORKS!06 Feb 202400:10:03

New year, new skin: we've heard that one many times, right? Well, in my case it's TRUE! Controlling acne is something that can be frustrating as it's never completely cured and can be influenced by SO many things: hormones, stress, diet, habits, lifestyle, what you use and the list goes on and on... I'm here today sharing my continuous struggles, and HOW I use solutions that always work. 

Always remember that the skin is an organ and it reflects what is going on internally 95% of the time.

The downfall of social media on the skincare industry25 May 202100:18:54

Social media brought us some good and some bad things within our industry:

Have you noticed the influx of information that you can find online regarding beauty and skin care? It's almost overwhelming and confusing, right? As a professional in the industry, I often do see videos or read articles that are totally not advising the right thing and this is where influencers, MLM (multi-level-marketing companies) and celebrity lines come into play. Not all the information you will find online will be true, and just because your favorite influencer uses it (and is paid or sponsored to talk about it), chances are it won't work for your skin. 

This is an opinion based podcast, from my professional point of view as an esthetician.. but it is a juicy one. Full disclaimer, I don't want to bash on anyone who does this, but I do think that there is a line to be respected when it comes to giving advise on skin care. 

Thanks for your ears and don't forget to leave a 5 star review if you enjoy my podcast!

A conversation about skin, with Swiss Line22 Apr 202100:33:01

SURPRISE UPLOAD!

I had the honor of speaking/having an interview with Swiss Line directly from Zurich, in Switzerland to have a very fun discussion about skin. We talk about Meta's history, skin tips, ingredients and trends.

Included in the call, we had Custodio D'Avo (Global Brand Director Swiss Line, The Age Traveller on YouTube), Monica Cisneros (Digital Content Manager at Swiss Line) and myself.

Swiss Line has been a tool in our "skin toolbox" for over 25 years to treat our client's skin, so it's been a great pleasure to be able to talk directly to the "Mother House" - I am beyond grateful to have had this opportunity :) Perhaps more in the future?? 

Enjoy!

E102: Thinking About Getting Botox? Injectable Conversation With Annie Du, R.N. Injector Part 122 Aug 202300:42:29

Not a week goes by where a client doesn't ask: "I'm thinking of getting injectable services, do you think I should?" Even if you are not for injectable services, I think it's an episode that it worth listening to open your eyes on HOW they work.

By popular demand, we brought on Annie Du, our nurse injector, to have a conversation about injectables... we talked for more than 1 HOUR, there is so much to discuss! This is a HOT topic and many are scared or unsure how to get into it.  Are neuromodulators safe? Can fillers last forever? Is it toxic for my body? These are all questions we will be answering with Annie today. Among many things.

If you've been thinking of getting in to injectables for a while, you'll want to listen to part 1 today!

There is so much information out there that a lot of ingredients get a bad rep, but with no scientific backup.

✅What is fragrance

✅What's scented vs unscented

✅Types of fragrances

E100: Leaving her 9 to 5 to start an entrepreneurial journey in event planning with Gina Lamontagne01 Aug 202300:27:14

Pivoting, preparation, rolling with the punch... these are all things Gin talked about when we took a deep dive into her transition to entrepreneurial life. Being an entrepreneur requires sacrifice and devotion, which is what Gina jumped into with open arms. A big transition like this one can be scary, but a very satisfying move in the long run. In these "post" pandemic times, many want to shift their careers or turn their passion projects into a real business. This is why we wanted to bring Gina on the podcast. She made a big decision to leave her 9-5 corporate job to launching her event planning business, while covid was still around! How she planned and navigated that big change is exactly what we talk about today, with a few event planning tips of course!

Gina has been planning events and managing projects for the past decade. Before turning her focus on more heart centered events and retreats, she coordinated weddings, conferences, festivals and major events for private and corporate clients. She is passionate about creating experiences that are transformative for the clients while ensuring that we are conscious of the environment and culture they take place in.

E112: 4 Ways A Toner Will Elevate And Boost Your Skin’s Health30 Jan 202400:08:57

Toners, the unfamous product that is now coming back in full swing! Toners today are much more treating on the skin than the old school toners that used to dry our skin out, back in the day. Today, I call every toner that we carry more elixirs, or treating lotions. If you're not a believer yet, I start this episode by quoting my client, who was not a fan on toners before coming to us, and now she's head over heals for them. Will I change your mind?

This is a topic that we clarify daily. The difference between DRY vs DEHYDRATED is quite big, since the source of the skin concern is not the same and will not be treated the same way.

E82: Skin concerns linked to a broken moisture barrier07 Feb 202300:16:39

Also knows as the acid mantle, did you know that your moisture barrier is your skin's BODY GUARD? This famous barrier is not only responsible to protect the skin from environmental debris and outside bacteria, but it also has another purpose: to keep the moisture within your skin. It’s made up of lipids (oils) that bind your skin cells together. When it's intact, the skin feels soft and supple. But when it's broken or damaged, it will make your skin feel irritated, red, sensitive, since it has tiny broken cracks that is letting the moisture OUT and letting the outside irritants IN. The moisture barrier usually will be influenced greatly by day to day habits (it's the little things over time that can make a big impact, like washing your skin with a soap bar, smoking, or not wearing SPF.)

Things you'll learn:

  1. What it looks and feels like
  2. Habits that can influence the moisture barrier's health
  3. 4 skin conditions that are linked to this damage
  4. Products to utilize to fix these issues with time line recommended

Links

  1. Boosting Essence
  2. Peace Booster
  3. Aqua Calm Cream

Thank you for your kind listening ears, always.

E80 Winter Skin Tips and Setting Intentions for 202317 Jan 202300:18:05

January is such a long winter month: post holidays, catching up after our time off, kids going back to school, and the harsh cold weather that makes your skin crack (well, for those who live in colder countries!). I always know that we are in January because my hands become FLAKY and irritated, even if I wear quality hand cream every single day. I do wash my hands quite a lot during the day, so that doesn't help, but it's the only time of the year that I actually have flakes on them.

I'm sure it happens to many other people, but on their FACE. There's a few things you can do in order to calm it down, hydrate, nourish and keep the skin alive until the warmer weather rolls around. Here are my top pro skin tips in this episode.

  • At home skin tips
  • A step you should not eliminate, even in winter
  • A bonus tip for skin types that have acne and inflammation

E78: The realistic expectations you should have when getting into skin care treatments07 Dec 202200:16:31

I get it, we live in a world where expectations are very high, and we want results yesterday. Social media is not helping this case! Truth be told, there is no such thing as "fixing" someone's skin issues in only one treatment, or with only one magic product. Think about it for a second, any skin disorder that you have took a long time to appear on your skin. It is NOT possible to reverse signs of aging in a minute. We have to remember that the skin is an organ, and it reflects what's going on inside the body, so sometimes, yes, it throws us off course and we have to readjust! Not only that, but the external factors and daily habits will absolutely help (or not help!).

So, it's time to get real, and to speak the truth about having realistic expectations when you're jumping into a new routine, or a new skin program. What we'll go over:

  • Different skin conditions and how we can treat them
  • Time frame to expect for various skin issues

E74: How a stressed mind will influence your skin, and how to manage the negative side effects11 Oct 202200:20:41

That negative mindset of stress has a fine little way of leaving a mark on our skin, without us even realizing it! It's true, an overwhelmed mind will always reflect and sometimes, the signs can vary from: acne flare ups, eczema, hives, increased oil activity (sebum!), cold sores, rashes, and the list goes on. Not to mention the dark mindset that can send us in a vicious cycle, which will influence our outlook on everything happening to us, making everything *not fun*! The common thing all of these signs have, is that they are all linked to inflammation. So, how can we deal with this?

What you'll learn:

  1. Understanding cortisol, "fight or flight" & how it impact the body
  2. It's ok not to do ALL the things, and it's same for your skin, in the state of inflammation
  3. Self-care, a self-preservation tool to lower stress levels
  4. Topical activity that will lower inflammation levels on your skin - synergy between internal work, and external work.
