Good Skincare Starts with a Conversation

I absolutely love talking about skincare. If you've ever asked me about a product at breathe, you probably already know that!

But before I start sharing my favorite ARCONA products or making recommendations, I'd love to learn a little about you and your skin.

The best place to start is by understanding what your biggest skin concerns are. Your answers can tell me more than you might think! They help me understand what your skin may be missing, which products would be most beneficial, and what you're hoping to achieve with your skincare routine.

 

Tell me what you’re noticing

You don’t need to arrive knowing your skin type or which ingredients you’re looking for. Tell me what you notice when you wash your face, put on your makeup, or get to the end of the day.

Maybe your skin feels tight after cleansing. Maybe a hydrator you’ve loved for years doesn’t feel like enough anymore. Or maybe you’ve collected several products, but you’re not sure how they all fit together.

I also want to know how much you enjoy doing. Are you happy with a few steps, or do you love taking your time with your skincare? I can appreciate both!

The goal is to find a routine that makes sense for your skin and your everyday life.

 

A little time for your skin—and you

I think facials are sometimes dismissed as frivolous self care, but I would argue they are so much more than simply layering lotions and potions onto your skin.

During an ARCONA facial, I use 100% ARCONA products, and approximately 95% of them are professional grade products that aren't available for retail purchase. What does that mean for you? If your skin responds well to ARCONA's at home skincare products, imagine how much more it can benefit from the professional formulas used during a facial! Your skin is treated to incredibly advanced, results driven ingredients that deliver noticeable results and leave you with a beautiful glow when you walk out of the treatment room.

I like to think of your at-home skincare routine as brushing your teeth every day, while coming in for a facial is like visiting the dentist. Both play an important role in maintaining your skin's overall health, and one complements the other.

And a fun fact about me: My secret superpower is getting people to fall asleep during a facial! I promise you'll leave feeling completely relaxed, refreshed, and glowing after an hour in the treatment room. It's the perfect combination of results and relaxation!

 

Knowing what to do at home

I have exclusively used ARCONA products on my own skin for 24 years (I started when I was just 17!), and I truly can't imagine using anything else.One of the most important things to me when purchasing a skincare product is understanding how to use it and, just as importantly, why I'm using it. After all, there's little benefit to having a drawer full of products if you aren't sure how to incorporate them into your routine.

For example, in my fall skincare blog, I shared how I apply Eye Dew Plus. Sometimes, it's the little things, like using the right amount of product and taking a moment to apply it properly, that can make all the difference.

Those are the kinds of details I love sharing with my clients. My goal is for you to leave not only with products that are right for your skin, but also with the knowledge and confidence to use them when you get home.

 

Start wherever you are

You might be ready to book a facial. You might have one question about your cleanser. Either is a good place to start.

You don’t have to figure everything out before coming in. Bring your questions, tell me what you’re using, and let’s talk about your skin.

I’d love to help.
