You care about what you eat and what you put in your lungs… so why not care about what you put on your skin?
After 18 years of facials, I’ve seen how harsh, trendy products and treatments can damage your skin barrier, clog pores, and accelerate aging. Today, I’m sharing answers to the top questions I hear in my treatment room so you can protect and nourish your skin the right way.
Q1: What’s the difference between professional skincare and over-the-counter products?
Most drugstore or Sephora products only reach the skin’s surface. To actually improve your skin, ingredients need a delivery system that penetrates deeper.
Professional skincare, like DNA Skin Institute, is organic, medical-grade, and free of toxins, carcinogens, or harmful growth factors. It works to nourish and protect your skin while giving real results — without harming it.
Q2: Why did I choose a holistic approach over the “medical spa” route?
Because I care about results without damaging your skin — and I care about what’s best for you.
Aggressive, stripping treatments may give a quick “shiny + plump” look, but the long-term effect is often premature aging.
Instead, I focus on:
*Fighting inflammation
*Repairing and nourishing the skin
*Supporting healthy collagen
It’s about holistic healing — not trauma. Vitamins, nourishment, and supporting your microbiome give you long-term healthy, glowing skin.
Q3: How do I prevent aging and clear breakouts?
We strengthen the skin barrier instead of stripping it. A healthy barrier = fewer breakouts + healthier aging.
But skin health isn’t just products:
Stress, diet, environment, and hormones all play a role.
Neck and shoulder tension? That could show up as 11’s or crow’s feet — sometimes a massage is just as important as a serum.
Breakouts often come from over-exfoliating, harsh routines, pore-clogging ingredients, diet, or even stress.
Bottom line: Less junk, more good stuff. Don’t overload your skin with products that will cause sensitivity and age you faster.
Consistency is key: Monthly facials, a simple at-home routine, and long-term care give the best results.
