Spraying chemicals up your nose for a tan? What are your thoughts? These are not FDA approved, and there is limited research about their efficacy and risks.

A normal side effect of a Botox or Dysport “lip flip.”

A common complaint about retinoids is irritation. My tip to minimize this is to start at a low percentage and go slow, meaning 2-3 nights per week. Gradually increase frequency as tolerated.

When I ask my patients if they wear sunscreen I commonly hear, “Yes, it’s in my makeup.” This is not a sufficient amount for protection against UVA/UVB rays. An easy way to remind yourself of how much product should be applied is 2 finger lengths. Use a minimum spf30. @supergoop

Everyone should be incorporating Vitamin C (specifically L-Ascorbic Acid) into their daily skincare regimen for antioxidant protection. It improves fine lines, texture and uneven skin tone. Vitamin C can aggravate active acne, therefore use caution if experiencing a flare.

My son knows not to argue about sunscreen because he won’t win. He’ll thank me later. 😂
Thanks to @supergoop for excellent formulations for the whole family.

You’ll always receive my honest recommendation of which treatments are best for your specific concerns. These are the reasons why I don’t inject:
❌Unrealistic expectations: It’s important to understand the limitations of injectables and skincare treatments, as well as the limitations of surgery. We cannot make you look like that photo of a celebrity. Reminder that Instagram and TikTok filters are not reality.
❌You’re not due for injections yet: Dysport and Botox are repeated every 3 months. (With the exception of a lip flip which is every 6-8 weeks). We also want to avoid overfilling the lips and face to prevent filler migration and an overcorrected appearance.
❌Previously overcorrected injectables: If you came from a previous provider who didn’t tell you “no,” I’ll be honest and tell you no additional injections are needed. The best option may require dissolving previous filler as well. A good injector will tell you no.
❌If you have a major life event (ex: wedding) within 2 weeks of injections, I’ll recommend postponing until after. Plan injectables at least 2-3 weeks prior to an event or vacation to allow bruising and swelling to settle.

Vitamin C (specifically L-Ascorbic Acid) is one of my favorite ingredients for good reason. It provides antioxidant protection from free radicals (stressors in the environment). There is improvement of fine lines, texture, and overall brightening. Apply during the day for best results.

My favorite skin care treatment is Morpheus. I’ve had 2 treatments so far with the amazing @crystalclearatbitar and @beysithatbitar . I’ve already noticed tightening along my jawline and upper eyelids. The combination of microneedling and radiofrequency gradually stimulates collagen production.
A common question is how bad does the skin look after? As you can see in the video, it’s a bit of a red tone however this really only lasts for about a day. This treatment requires very little downtime.
What questions do you have?

Nothing in life comes easy, it’s not going to be handed to you. You’ve got to show up, put the work in, and continue bettering yourself every single day.

Are you incorporating retinoids into your skincare regimen? This is one of my top ingredients as it promotes an increase in cellular turnover resulting in improvement of fine lines, texture, and pore size. Here’s a tip to avoid irritation.

Hyaluronic Acid is one of my favorite skincare ingredients as it provides moisture leaving skin healthy and dewy, while improving the appearance of fine lines.

SKIN TIPS:
✅Skip the tanning beds and “laying out.” Get a high quality spray tan instead.
✅Do apply UVA/UVB sunscreen with a minimum SPF30. There is no sunscreen which lasts throughout the day. Re apply every 2-3 hours.
✅There is no reason to stop your skincare at your jawline. Apply retinol to the rest of the body to prevent and improve texture and uneven skin tone.

My simple, yet effective morning skin care routine. It doesn’t have to be complicated, you just need to be using the most effective ingredients.

PSA: Adhesive patches and skincare marketed as a Botox alternative is false marketing and will never be equivalent to neuromodulators.
