As a beauty/facial expert, what are some of your top tips for achieving clear and glowy skin?
Find a local esthetician you can work with and book facials every 2-6 weeks. Use your skincare products morning and night, and never skip a day. Always follow exfoliation with hydration, and remember that serums and SPF make all the difference. For anti-aging, exosomes, peptides and vitamin A are must-haves.
If you had to choose only five products to use daily, which would they be?
For someone struggling with breakouts/acne, what is your best advice?
Work with an acne specialist! Try mandelic acid, one of the most well-tolerated alpha hydroxy acids and an acne-fighting powerhouse. It is also safe for pregnancy and suitable for all skin tones. Double cleanse every night to ensure clean pores. When you start using clinical skincare, your skin will often get a little worse before it gets better. Do not get discouraged; this is a sign your products are working, and it is temporary. Trust the process, do not pick, stay in close communication with your esthetician and be consistent.
