I have practiced aesthetics for over 23 years and have been a Certified Nutritionist for 10 years. Early in my aesthetics career, I treated an abundance of acne clients and noticed a direct link between skin challenges and diet. I became curious about how to help my current clients from the inside out, which inspired me to become a Certified Nutritionist.  

Common SkinCare Myths

Interview with Former UAC Member Jean McKoy

Fulvic acid is a powerhouse in the treatment room and in your home care. If you haven't heard the wonders of this acid yet, let this Q&A introduce you!

Since November is Healthy Skin Month, I wanted to focus on what healthy skin truly is. In the age of social media and the internet, its representation gets skewed by the idea that perfect skin is the only way to have healthy skin, which is quite the opposite of the truth. 

In this era of social media, we are constantly shown super creamy, edited skin with zero pores or blemishes. From someone who used to smooth her skin with filters, I’m just as guilty as the next person, but what I didn’t understand was just how damaging that was to other people. What we see day to day on Instagram isn’t real life, and it’s so important to understand that. Most of those photos are photoshopped, even photos of people with actual healthy skin. I think this creates a sense of misinformation about what healthy skin is. Healthy skin is not glassy, blemish-free skin. It doesn’t look powder smooth. Healthy skin isn’t free of texture and flushing, although we tend to strive for this sort of perfection. In reality, perfect skin doesn’t exist. Even the healthiest skin has pores, texture, changes in tone and blemishes!
