Cleansers
Best oil cleanser I’ve ever used. My face doesn’t feel oily after and it removes my makeup + waterproof mascara + sunscreen so easily!
Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm
An easy way to get exfoliation in your routine! Use a couple nights a week for a deeper and safer exfoliation than you would get from a scrub
AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser
Hydrating, silky, nourishing cleanser. Love this as a morning cleanser for myself (combination skin) and for aging or dry skin clients
the MAX™ facial cleanser
Balancing Gel cleanser, great for all skin types, I love this for my night cleanser because it is still gentle while removing all the impurities I’ve accumulated throughout the day
ORMEDIC® balancing facial cleanser
Equivalent to the Image ORMEDIC Gel Cleanser in my opinion. I use and recommend it in the same ways. Making a decision between these two cleansers really comes down to personal preference.
Power Calm Hydrating Gel Cleanser
Toners
Toners restore your skin’s pH to normal (4.5-5.5) after cleansing. Water is at a 7 on the pH scale, your skin should naturally regulate back down to its normal pH levels but if it is damaged it needs some help. My current go to for a toner, has amazi...
Skin Recovery Essence Toner for Barrier Repair
This was a game changer for my dry skin! I bought it on a sale once just to try out something new and for over a year I haven’t been able to go a day without using it. A little goes a long way and it helps so much with keeping my skin soft and moistu...
Peach & Lily Wild Dew Treatment Essence - Drench and Prep
Moisturizers
Very hydrating but not too thick for daily wear! Vitamin C protects your skin against free radicals from the sun that contribute to photoaging so the best time to wear vitamin c is during the day!
VITAL C hydrating intense moisturizer
A more lightweight vitamin c moisturizer, more suited to skin types that struggle with oil control or breakouts
VITAL C hydrating water burst
I love this product for nighttime use when I find my skin is extremely dry, also great for the back of my hands! Can be too thick for use daily/nightly so adjust frequency of use as necessary
Andes Nature Cosmetic Snail Extract Cream Caracol - 5.1 Fl. Oz.
Hands down the best product on the market for sagging skin and creepiness. Great for overall aged skin but formulated specifically for those with loose skin from GLP-1 use
Volulift Cream Glp1
Serums
Amazing serum for skin barrier health! The Biome+ line is specifically formulated to heal damaged skin barriers and help your skin’s microbiome. Smells a little like grass which I like but if that will throw you off this product may not be for you :)
BIOME+ dew bright serum
Amazing serum! One of the best I’ve put on my skin!
Glass Skin Refining Serum
Great for evening skin tone, overall brightening and post waxing to reduce hyperpigmentation!
ILUMA® intense brightening serum
Sunscreen
My favorite recommendation for sensitive skin! Doesn’t have that weird sunscreen smell, non irritating, and I can apply this over my eyelids with no burning!
UV Skin Recovery Green Tinted Sunscreen SPF 50
Amazing, a favorite of my clients! The deep tone range needs expansion but I love the non tinted version for myself
Sunforgettable® Total Protection® Face Shield Flex SPF 50
Love this sunscreen so much for tan, dry leaning skin! SPF 75 is great, lots of good skincare ingredients in it, very hydrating! Not for oily skin types :)
DAILY PREVENTION advanced smartblend mineral moisturizer SPF ...
My favorite way to reapply sunscreen over makeup! A very fine mist, SPF 50, and doesn’t burn my very sensitive eyes
Mists – Naked Sundays USA
Masks
So rich and moisturizing this masque makes my skin feel silky and renewed after use! Smells like citrus :)
IMAGE Skincare MAX Masque 2 fl oz Facial Mask
I’m allergic to algae so it’s very difficult for me to find eye masks that don’t have algae byproducts as an ingredient. These are by far the best eye masks I have tried for my sensitive skin. They smell amazing, look cute, and make me feel refreshed
Eye Want Cake Eye Patches | Hydrate & Brighten
Amazing eye masks, my clients absolutely love them. I’m so envious I cannot use these for myself (contains algae) but I’m so happy I can recommend them to others who will benefit from the powerful ingredients within!
IMAGE MD Restoring Eye Masks | Under-Eye Patches
The best of the best when it comes to refining + collagen boosting masks!
Korean Glass Skin Collagen Ginseng Face Mask - Clear
Tattoo Care
This healed my tattoos so well! Nourishing and sensitive, can be used post laser treatment or post tattoo!
Healing after a tattoo | Eau Thermale Avène
This is a hear my out product for tattoo care but it’s never let me down! Formulated for sensitive areas, slightly below the PH balance of our skin but a good moisturizer after cleansing will easily restore the ph of your acid mantle. I use this day ...
Sensitive Intimate Wash
Sunburn / Irritation care
Magic in a tube! Can be used on sunburns, bug bites, diaper rash, rashes, burns (heat/steam/fire), dry patches, etc etc amazing and non irritating!
Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream
Body care
The body cream for GLP-1 related sagging! Can be effective for overall aged skin experiencing sagging and dehydrating but this is a must have for those who have experienced rapid weight loss!
VOL.U.LIFT™ BODY GLP-1/GIP sculpt + firm treatment complex
Hydrating, non sticky, and a favorite of mine. In my office we keep a tester out in the lobby for patient use and I’ve yet to hear anything negative about it
XeraCalm A.D Replenishing Balm
Great for face or body if you struggle with breakouts / blackheads. Make sure to follow up with sunscreen!
Good Molecules Clarify & Cleanse Salicylic Bar
