As we age, collagen production declines by about 1% each year, starting in our early 20s. Understanding how our skin changes over time is key to embracing and caring for our natural beauty.

Check out this diagram showing the difference between young skin and aging skin with collagen breakdown.

Collagen is the protein that keeps our skin firm, plump, and youthful, but as we age, its production gradually slows down. By the time we reach menopause, this decline can accelerate dramatically, up to 30%! 📉

There are steps you can take to slow this process down. Like my favorites... InterCeptor serum (a stong Vitamin C), and Vitamin A serum (Retinol Proprionate) and my favorite for added hydration= Hydration Elixir!

Running your hands through your hair might feel amazing, but did you know it can transfer oils and bacteria to your face, leading to breakouts?

Here's the scoop: our scalps naturally produce oils that can accumulate on our hair. In fact, the average scalp produces up to 20-30 grams of sebum per month! This oil, combined with bacteria, dust, dirt, and hair products, can easily be transferred to your skin if you're not careful. 🔬

That's why it's crucial to avoid touching your hair between your facial care steps. Clean hands mean fewer chances for acne-causing bacteria to make their way to your face.

I always emphasize a holistic approach to skincare. This includes being mindful of all the little habits that affect your skin’s health. Remember, your face and hair are both part of your beauty routine, and taking care of one helps the other. 🌸

#Skintok may be fun, but is it the best source for your skincare advice? 🤔 While social media can inspire, remember that your skin is unique! Those viral trends often oversimplify complex issues or promote one-size-fits-all solutions. 🌟

As a licensed esthetician, I've seen how personalized, professional guidance transforms skin in ways random internet advice can't. It's not just about products – it's about a holistic approach considering your lifestyle, stress levels, and overall health. 🌿

Your skin deserves more than a quick fix or trending hack. It deserves a thoughtful, science-backed approach that evolves with your changing needs. 💖

No gimmicks, no trends – just real results based on expertise and your individual needs. Your skin will thank you! ✨

Starting a new skincare product can be exciting, but remember: consistency is key! 🔑 Your skin needs time to adjust and reap the full benefits of any new addition to your routine.

It's easy to get discouraged if you don't see instant results, but trust the process. Most products take about 4-8 weeks of regular use before you'll notice changes.

Think of it like nurturing a plant - you wouldn't expect a seed to sprout overnight, right? Your skin cells are constantly renewing, and it takes time for new, healthier cells to make their way to the surface.

During this period, you might even experience a "purging" phase where your skin seems to get worse before it gets better. Don't panic! (that is trapped stuff coming up and out).

This is often a sign that the product is working, bringing hidden congestion to the surface.

Patience and consistency are your best friends on this skincare journey. Stick to your routine, use the product as directed, and give your skin the chance to truly transform. And remember, everyone's skin is unique - what works quickly for one person might take a bit longer for another.

Feeling unsure about your current routine or thinking about introducing a new product? Let's chat! Book a skin consultation to get personalized advice tailored to your unique skin needs and goals. Together, we'll create a regimen that works for you, and I'll guide you through the process of introducing new products safely and effectively.

Have you ever heard of citrus burn? Also called phytophotodermatitis, this surprising reaction happens when certain plant oils meet your skin and then get some sun exposure.

It's not just about limes and lemons (though they're the usual suspects). Even seemingly innocent ingredients like oranges, grapefruits, parsley, and celery can cause this reaction.

Imagine prepping a delicious summer salad or squeezing some citrus into your drink, then heading out for some sun – without proper precautions, you might be setting yourself up for an unexpected and uncomfortable skin surprise!

But don't worry, this doesn't mean you have to give up your favorite summer treats. It's all about being aware and taking simple steps to protect your skin. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling these foods, especially before sun exposure. And of course, never skimp on that sunscreen!

Summer is all about feeling your best and embracing every moment with confidence.
Always carry SPF to protect your skin from harmful UV rays, and hydrate from the inside out by drinking plenty of water.
Keep your bedtime routine consistent to ensure your skin and body get the needed rest.
Prioritize protein and veggies in your diet to fuel your body with essential nutrients.
Find your go-to de-stressor, whether it’s a hobby, exercise, or meditation.
And most importantly, remember that you are worthy of enjoying your summer just as you are right now!

Why SPF is the #1 BEST anti-aging product 🌞

SPF is more than just sun protection – it's your skin's best friend in the fight against aging. By reducing redness and inflammation, SPF keeps your skin calm and balanced. It’s crucial for preserving collagen and elastin, which is essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity.

Regular use of SPF prevents hyperpigmentation and photoaging, keeping your complexion even and youthful. It also plays a vital role in reducing the risk of skin cancer and preventing the loss of skin density.

Embrace SPF to protect your skin and maintain its natural beauty.

Keeping your skin happy and healthy involves knowing which ingredients need a little extra protection from the sun.

Vitamin C
Essential Oils
Lactic Acid
Hydroquinone
Retinol
BHA
Benzoyl Peroxide
Glycolic Acid

Shielding these powerhouses from direct sunlight ensures they work their magic without causing irritation. I recommend using these ingredients in the evening, not in the morning during the summertime.

Clients tell me all time of the compliments that they get on their skin. 90% is what the client is doing at home, it wouldn't be working if the client wasn't doing their skincare routine and the lifestyle changes. So they deserve all the compliments that they get!

Tempted to pick that pimple? 🚫🤚

Here's why: Picking a pimple causes trauma to your skin, leading to inflammation, potential scarring, and even infection. When you pick, you’re essentially opening a wound, making it hard for a pimple patch to work its magic.

Pimple patches are designed to work on unbroken skin, drawing out impurities and speeding up the healing process. So, hands off! Trust the patch to do its job.
You can put a pimple patch on after you have picked as a tool to keep your hands off it (especially while sleeping). But don't expect it to do much beyond that. The Wendy Way- Pimple Patches have 2 sizes and 72 patches total in the pack with some active ingredients to help speed up the healing.

Did you know the sun can cause first, second, AND third-degree burns? ☀️🔥 Understanding the anatomy of a sunburn is crucial for protecting your skin. Let’s break it down:

First-degree burns: These affect the outer layer of your skin, causing redness and pain. Think of that light sunburn that leaves your skin tender and warm.

Second-degree burns: These go deeper, affecting both the outer and underlying layers of your skin. You’ll see blisters, severe redness, and swelling. This type of sunburn is much more painful and takes longer to heal.

Third-degree burns: These are the most severe, damaging all layers of the skin and potentially affecting the tissues beneath. While rare from sun exposure alone, it’s a serious risk on very high UV index days with prolonged, unprotected exposure.

UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin than UVB rays, causing long-term damage and aging, while UVB rays are primarily responsible for those painful burns.

🌞 Both types of rays can cause immediate and lasting harm, so it's essential to protect your skin every day, no matter the weather. Burns can happen quickly, especially with a high UV index, so never skip your sunscreen!

Protect your skin with broad-spectrum SPF, seek shade, and wear protective clothing. For personalized sun care advice and treatments, book a video meeting. Your skin’s health is worth it!

The Wendy Way- Silver Tonic is a great product to have on hand if you or family members have too much exposure. Simply spray on and in about 10mins the heat and discomfort starts subsiding and pushes the skin into the next phase of healing. Of course, if you have blisters or it is more severe, then please seek medical attention.
