The Lighter Life Coach
This is my go-to skincare routine right now. I'm fighting aging and acne breakouts. I'll keep this list updated as I go. 

My experience with skincare includes my own struggles, a cosmetology education and license, as well as a Dermalogica product specialization.

Prep/Cleanse

Don't forget to double cleanse! Use gentle cleansers for exfoliating treatment days.
