Stepping Up My Skincare

January 13, 2021 Leave a Comment

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I have never been one to take care of my skin the way I take care of my muscles. I’ve basically neglected doing any real skincare routine till well…right about now.

I met Racquel Frisella a while back and she got me thinking that maybe I should pay more attention to my skin. She’s a aesthetic nurse practitioner and knows a ton about skincare!

She’s also mom to three adorable kiddos and a fitness junkie. I’m pleased to be able to share my space with her so that she can share with you some of her best tips for stepping up your skincare!

So sit back and enjoy.

Self-care has become a huge trending topic in the last couple of years and I love it! Finally, we are getting permission from society to take time for ourselves. More and more we are steering away from the belief that workaholism is a virtue and burn out leads to success. What I also know is that self-care isn’t always bubble baths, massages and tropical vacations. Self-care means many different things to many different people and one form that I see every single day is self-care in the form of aesthetic treatments. My career as an aesthetic nurse practitioner is my passion and I absolutely love giving men and women the education and tools to help take care of their skin. I am a firm believer of the “look good, feel good” mentality. If I can help by making some small changes on the outside that lead to better body satisfaction, more confidence, and improved internal happiness then I’m absolutely thrilled to do so!

It’s not about vanity, it’s about feeling good for YOU

Here’s what really gets me excited. Imagine that body imperfection you feel like you have that drives you insane; maybe it’s little wrinkles on your forehead that appear when you raise your eyebrows, even if you are only 25. Or maybe it’s dark circles under your eyes that no amount of sleep can revive? Maybe its lips that you feel like just don’t compliment the rest of your features properly? What if you woke up one day and it was just..fixed. You could wear less makeup, feel more confident and just stop worrying about it! I’m not saying that forehead wrinkles or anything else are a bad thing, but if the stress of these ‘imperfections‘ lowers your quality of life then, of course, I want to help you!

In a lot of cases, the client is simply taking a corrective or preventative approach when considering aesthetics long term. Investing in your skin when you are younger actually helps prevent permanent creases and wrinkles as we age. What we do right now matters to help us feel good about ourselves now and later!

It’s okay to take care of yourself exactly how you see fit

Just like dying your hair or shaping your eyebrows, an aesthetic procedure can build confidence! So I’m here giving you permission to get that ‘thing done’. It’s your body and your happiness! 

I love the ability to help people feel good about themselves. The majority of the patients I see are wonderful people who want to look and FEEL their best. They are doing it for themselves, not for others. Why do we work out? To be in shape and to stay healthy, and to feel good about ourselves! This is the same. Why would we not take care of our skin and face as well?

Taking care of yourself is something a lot of people don’t prioritize – but the truth is, how you take care of yourself is the example you set for how others should treat you. And busy Mamas, I see you! You’re thinking, “oh I’m married I don’t need that”, or “Oh my friends will judge me”, or “Oh I should spend the money on something for the kids”. What does Rachel Hollis say? Girl, wash your face! You DESERVE to feel confident. You aren’t just a Mom or a wife or a student, you are YOU, beautiful, powerful, individual, and you should feel as such 

Where do I start?!

WHY MEDICAL GRADE SKINCARE?

In medical grade skincare, the formulation of the products are scientifically designed to penetrate into the skin and to be able to yield real results. There are no fillers – just high quality, active products that WORK. These products contain the perfect mix of active products in a formulation that can be delivered with minimal to no irritation. That is what you are paying for. I wholeheartedly believe that you will get better results by buying 1 pricier product than you would by buying 5 bottles of the drug store version. Once you invest you’ll know it’s worth it! 

If you were ever wondering if maybe this would be something for you… please reach out, I’m always here to help I could go on for hours explaining all of this stuff (trust me), but I’ll save it for other blogs! If you just want to see what it is that I am talking about with different procedures like botox or filler and skincare reviews, my highlights on Instagram are loaded with before and after photos and testimonials etc. 

NEED SKINCARE RECOMMENDATIONS? I provide complimentary, custom regimens online! 

Whether you are looking for anti-aging, acne treatment, or even pregnancy-safe regimens – I can help! I help patients nationwide achieve their best skin by using medical grade skincare. I love being able to reach and help people all over the country with the very same products I use daily in my practice. Skincare is not one size fits all. I create complementary, custom skincare regimens for my clients and I am able to do this via email and in the convenience of your own home.

If you are reading this right now, I want to encourage you to take the time to treat yourself. Busy women often put everyone else in their lives first before themselves. I know it sounds crazy, but giving yourself a little time and space to recharge leaves you more energized for those you love. When you are feeling confident and your best, you make a more powerful impact on those around you. Self care looks different for everyone, but one thing I know for sure is that it is the single biggest factor in boosting your confidence.

XOXO
