What To Expect For Your First 4 Waxes
Each wax appointment is a little bit of it’s own thing. So, if you’re up for it, I’d love to explain what you can expect between each wax!
Each wax appointment is a little bit of it’s own thing. So, if you’re up for it, I’d love to explain what you can expect between each wax!
What to expect between the first and second wax
Because most of the hairs the first time you wax are in the growing cycle, this will be a pretty good wax. When you are coming in for your second wax, it probably doesn’t even feel like you need to wax.
Whatever you do, don’t cancel this appointment!
The second wax is half the pain or less (partly because you don’t have all the hair back), BUT this wax is key to getting ALL of those hairs on the same growing cycle.
Do you want to keep the smoothness for longer between each wax? Be SUPER (DUPER) consistent your first four waxes!!!
What to expect between the second and third wax
You’ll probably feel like this wax ‘wasn’t as good’, but what is really happening is that the hairs that weren’t out at your second wax appointment are saying hi! Sometimes even a couple days after your appointment.
What you need to know is that this is ALL NORMAL!
Stay the course with your aftercare and your next wax appointment in four weeks.
What to expect between the third and fourth wax
So more hair will be cycled through, but you’ll notice that your third wax was still much easier than the first and similar to the second. Your hairs are getting the hang of it, so they don’t fight as hard to be removed. They will continue their random growing cycle, but you’ll soon reap the rewards by your consistency.
Everything gets easier and easier and you’ll finally know what everyone has been raving about for years!
Congratulations for being brave and smooth! Cheers to your next wax!

The 80/20 Rule For Skin
Have you ever heard of the 80/20 rule for skin care? It really applies to so many areas of life, but I can’t wait to share with you this.
What makes the biggest change in your skin? The facial treatments or the home care?
If you said home care, you are correct!!!
80% of the changes in your skin can come from what you do at home. Why? Because you see your skin everyday and have at least 2 (or more) opportunities to make it better. One time in the morning and one at night with your whole skin care routine.
Why did I add more? Because you can reapply your sunscreen throughout the day. Sunscreen is truly your #1 anti-aging product. It is the insurance that you have as you drive the new car off of the lot.
80% is just huge!
Now for the 20%. I’m sure that you are thinking, that’s not very much. 20% is not, BUT that 20% can help you leap closer to your goals instead of crawl. The 20% are what we do in the treatment room. Each facial, chemical peel, microneedling, and other facial treatments. We do things you can’t do at home to get you bigger gains.
If your budget is limited, then I suggest that you focus only on the home care. Let’s get you that 80%! I recommend that you start with The Core Four which is cleanser, toner product, moisturizer, and SPF.
If you learned something new, consider sending this (or another) article to a friend. The more you know!

Benefits of Hard Wax
There are two main types of wax and today I'm going to talk about the benefits of hard wax for you, the client.
Hard wax is a wax that sets up without the use of a strip to remove. It works by shrink wrapping around the hair becoming encased in wax and thereby removed when the piece of wax is removed from the area. Hard wax does not attach itself to the skin, so it is considered gentle and great for all skin types, especially for those that are sensitive. Depending on the brand and nature of the hard wax applied to the skin, it can be placed and removed up to six times in the same area.
When I set out to become THE Brazilian Wax Expert in Southeast Idaho, I went through a selection process where I tried 18 hard waxes in a little over a month’s time period. (God bless those clients that stuck with me.) I really wanted to make sure that I was using the wax that would remove hair most efficiently while being gentle on the skin. I found it in June 2018 … and while I’ve been using it ever since, I do have a couple of original clients that will allow me to test a new wax. (Maybe once a year.)
I absolutely LOVE using hard wax on the face and the Brazilian area. While you can use hard wax on the whole body, that is not my preference. Each type of wax has a purpose and as long as your waxer knows their products (this goes for sugaring too), then you are in good hands. I hope that you love the benefits of hard wax. I invite you to come and try a wax at Essential Esthetics by Zoey. Can’t wait to meet you!

Benefits of Soft Wax
There are two types of wax. Today I wanted to explain to you, the client, the benefits of using soft wax.
Soft wax adheres directly to the skin and uses a paper or muslin to remove the wax and anything in it’s path. It is very effective at doing it’s job and you don’t have any waiting time. The wax can be applied and immediately removed. I love, love, love using this wax on the main parts of the body including chest, back, arms and legs.
One of my secrets to the best Brazilian Wax in Pocatello is that I will use the soft wax as the last step to remove the baby hairs and even hairs that cannot be seen with the naked eye. It is amazing what a smooth wax that creates.
I do choose to use both types of wax in my Brazilian wax service. I know that many clients are hesitant because they believe one type of wax is better than another. But, I will stick to my guns and say that it does not matter what product the Esthetician/Waxer uses. If he/she knows their product, you will leave with a great wax.
If you have any additional questions, post them below! I’m happy to answer! I would also love to invite you to experience the difference in 2023. Can’t wait to meet you!

Four Reasons Why You Need a Toner
Have you ever wondered if you need to use a toner product? Or perhaps you have wondered what exactly it does. Or why I’ve included the toner in The Core Four. Let’s discuss why!
#1 - If you are using it with an esthetic wipe or cotton round, when you wipe over your skin, this will help pick up anything leftover you didn’t get with your cleansing step. Think of it as mopping … round #2! IYKYK
#2 - Using a toner will help prepare your skin for the other products that you are going to put on after. How? Well, it will balance your skin’s pH from the cleanser and water.
#3 - Do you want more anti-aging or anti-acne or more hydration? Your toner can be the right thing for you without adding a lot of cost to your skin care routine.
#4 - The toner step is refreshing! It feels nice, light and like a breath of fresh air. It is MY favorite step in the cleansing process. Probably because it adds very little time and feels so amazing!
If you aren’t already using a toner product, I hope that you will consider trying it. I love it and think that you will too! Can’t wait to hear what you think!

Introducing The Goddess Facial
You’ve been reading and watching and now it is HERE! The Goddess Facial is the newest seasonal facial at a stellar price just in time for Mother’s Day!
This facial has been in the works since March 2022… and it surely won’t disappoint. I could go on and on about all of the things that make this facial incredible. Here are my top 5.
#1 - The Biocellulose Mask
This clinically proven two-step ritual combines 2 powerful formulas, providing an exceptional solution to reduce the appearance of the 5 signs of aging. Using biocellulose technology, the mask adheres to the face like a second skin, optimizing the absorption of ingredients.
Provides intense and immediate hydration.
Visibly reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
Visibly improves skin elasticity and tonicity.
Rejuvenates skin texture and helps renew the plumpness of the skin.
Renews the skin’s radiance for a flawless-looking complexion.
#2 - The Leaf
This tool is brand new for this facial and I’m so excited to boost our facials in the treatment room. We are using two of the steps. The first creates microchannels in the skin through plasma (the fourth state of matter.) This step can help to kill acne bacteria or help to prep the skin for hydration or anti-aging treatments.
The second step we will be using is electroportation which pushes ingredients into the microchannels that we have just created. We will use this over the Biocellulose Mask!
#3 - The Fresh Pearl Massage
My favorite parts of the facial are massage! So I always love to include specialty massage with the facial. This new to you massage technique focuses on increasing circulation and promoting relaxation. We start right off the gates with this and the Bergamot oil cleanser.
#4 - The Smells
Oh so good … every time! Light bergamot cleanse, then foaming orange cleanse, and then decadent chocolate enzyme mask. You just can’t go wrong with the fun products that are a limited, just-for-this-facial ones!
#5 - The Goodie Bag
I love making sure that these facials just don’t end. There is still more fun to go home with you! Perfect chocolate truffle bar, vanilla brown sugar candy scrub, lavender mini bath fizzie and more!
Massage Techniques Used in Rejuvenate Facial
Do you know what I love? I LOVE making each experience for you the very best. When I see that something I offer isn’t knocking your socks off, I pivot and search for the perfect thing that will.
Which is why The Rejuvenate Facial was introduced in January. This facial includes all of the things that you love at Essential Esthetics by Zoey in Pocatello, Idaho. Double cleanse, exfoliation, masking and all of the finishing products for the skin. Plus of course, hot towels on the feet, lower leg massage, warming hand mitts, hand and arm massage, neck, scalp … the works!
PLUS, the Rejuvenate Facial includes a specialty massage technique. You choose: Cryosticks, Gua Sha Massage, Facial Cupping or Fresh Pearl Massage.
Here is a brief introduction to each type of deluxe massage technique.
Cryosticks
Cryosticks are used to calm down and soothe inflammed, irritated and red skin. In addition to its soothing properties, the application of cold to the skin has a draining, decongestant, and firming effect. The cold sensation is picked up by receptors in the skin, causing a “goose bump” phenomenon, which stimulates nerve cells in the skin and has a tightening effect on the epidermis.
Gua Sha Massage
This sculpting massage is particularly effective at relieving facial tension and stress. Gua Sha is particularly helpful for lymphatic drainage in our face because we don't move the muscles in our face all that much. The intentional movements of this facial massage will help move the lymph through the system, leaving you with a glow and sculpted appearance.
Facial Cupping
This gentle and invigorating massage has many benefits to the skin and feels SO good!
Brightens & Strengthens Your Skin
Stimulates Cells Responsible For Collagen Reduction
Minimizes the Appearance of Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Decreases ‘Puffiness’
Plumps Lips
Fresh Pearl Massage
The newest specialty massage technique in the treatment room is the fresh pearl massage by GM Collin. I love this one and know you will too. This massage can be focused on relaxing or stimulating (or my favorite - a little of both!) The main benefits are to increase circulation and promote relaxation.

Are You Listening To What Your Skin Is Telling You?
Did you know that our skin is always giving us clues about what it needs? Well, it really is. Sometimes we are really good about letting it know what we think is best, without listening. Let’s talk about some common signals and what you should do about it.
You have flaking on your nose.
Number one, are you using enough sunscreen on your skin in general. Your nose sticks out from the rest of the face and therefore gets more than the rest.
Number two, how often are you exfoliating your skin? This could be your sign that what you are doing is not quite enough and you need to step up your game or schedule your next facial.
Number three, do you need to change your moisturizer? Maybe this is a sign that you need to use a moisturizer with more hydrating ingredients.
Your skin feels red or has a reddish hue.
Number one, have you received too much sun? If so, you know to back off and step up your sunscreen. Make sure that you are reapplying throughout the day as well (especially in summer months.)
Number two, are you using too many active products. The skin cannot go from zero to one hundred too fast. If you are using a retinol product, consider using it every other day instead of every day. If you are using products with acids, maybe you need less of that or to do a different rotation. Or even a different product all together. Consult with your Esthetician.
Number three, if the redness is contained to cheeks, chin, etc. and gets more noticeable with spicy foods or alcohol, you may have rosacea and need a completely different skin care plan. This is another condition to consult your Esthetician with or Dermatologist.
Your skin starts out dry but feels oily midday.
Number one, if your skin feels dry, it will signal to produce more oil. So … let’s try changing up your moisturizer!!!
Number two, if your moisturizer cannot go through the dead skin cells, maybe you need more exfoliation.
Number three, look at every product you put on after you cleanse. You may need to change your makeup routine… and possibly look at a different sunscreen product.
Your skin feels burning or raw when applying products.
Number one, simplify your routine. More is not always better and your skin is telling you it’s not liking what you are doing.
Number two, consider removing active products and anti-aging products and focus on barrier strengthening products (aka - the golden nugget and gentle, soothing products.)
Number three, evaluate if there is anything that you’ve changed with your health, including medications and surgery as these are stressors.
What other things have you noticed from your skin? What do you think that your skin could be telling you?

Waxing in 2023 - The Do's, The Don't's ... and More!
2022 was the Year of the Brazilian. I had so much fun giving so many clients their first ever Brazilian Wax. I performed 881 Brazilian Waxes! And this year, I have a goal to reach 1,000.
So, let’s talk about waxing this year. In 2023. Here’s what you need to know!
The Do’s
Plan ahead! I usually book 3-4 weeks out. So, if you know you have a trip planned to Phoenix AZ, let’s get you booked a day or two before you leave!
Hide the razor and walk away. Your skin will love waxing so much more!
Plan to purchase the aftercare to get the ultimate (and best results). I have everything you will need at the office, so I’ll help you pick out what you need and nothing you don’t.
The Don’t’s
Don’t assume that all waxes are created equal. I offer the best in education, touch up strips and after care. You definitely get what you pay for.
Don’t think that your hair grows faster than normal. It might feel that way, but you really need 2-3 weeks of growth before you wax the first time.
Don’t leave you appointment without booking your next wax … which promises to be about half as painful.
My other suggestions always include to wear comfortable clothing to your appointment, avoid caffeine and remember to breathe. It really is a mind game and the appointment will go fast.
If you’ve tried Brazilian Waxing before, I would LOVE the opportunity to show you the difference. Thank you for giving me a chance and I can’t wait to meet you!

Skin Care for the Lazy Human
Okay. We’ve all been there. You are super tired. Or you are in a busy season of life. You don’t have time for a 7 step skin care routine. So how do you maintain glowing, healthy skin? Here are a couple of my favorite skin care hacks for the lazy human.
#1 Rely on the Core Four
Do the basics and only the basics. But be religiously consistent!
The core four is cleanser, toner, moisturizer and SPF.
#2 Use the one day cleansing system
There are two thoughts from Estheticians. One is to cleanse morning and night. And the other is to cleanse just at night.
If you chose to just cleanse at night, in the morning you will use your toner, moisturizer and then SPF.
#3 Do routine as soon as you are in for the night
If you know at 6 pm you aren’t leaving for the night, go ahead and do your routine then.
#4 Regular treatments
If you are doing the bare minimum with your skin care, I know that your skin will appreciate and LOVE if we can do the extra in the treatment room. That way, your skin can still get the exfoliation, masking and serums to help your skin be happy! Let your Esthetician help you!
Which skin care hack do you love the most? Which one are you going to use when you are in the busy stage of life?

Syringa Spa Suites Mission and Tag Line
I loved sharing the story of why I moved locations and how Syringa Spa Suites came to be. So I did want to also share the mission and tag line.
The Mission
The goal of Syringa Spa Suites is to provide a high end spa experience for the clients of South East Idaho. I love the providers that have joined the collaboration thus far and am excited to hopefully add one more spa professional.
We believe in creating an environment that feels and smells SO good. We believe in treatment the body, mind and skin wholistically and naturally.
The Tag Line
If you’ve followed me in business, I love using a tag line. The tag line for Essential Esthetics by Zoey is Breathe. Let Go. Relax. It has suited me well … and years later, I still LOVE it!
We wanted to create a new tag line for Syringa Spa Suites. One that would not only embody our mission here, but to also include everyone that is currently here … and who might join us in the future.
And that’s when the tag line was born …
Self care starts here.
We hope you will join us in supporting these amazing spa professionals and helping their businesses to grow and thrive in our Pocatello Community. Welcome!

My Beauty Secrets in 2023
Each year, I love to share with you some of my skin care wins. You know, the things that are working for my skin and the things that I see clients doing that are making a BIG difference and impact.
Are you ready for my 2023 beauty secrets? Here they are!!!
Using a facial mop
If you haven’t been following along, you might be wondering what the heck a facial mop is! It is just a damp, gentle washcloth.
I always share the story of your kitchen floor. You would never walk away after you throw cleanser and water on it, would you? You use a mop to pick up the remaining bits and do the cleaning.
The facial mop does the same thing for you skin. And I’m here to tell you that I can tell a BIG difference in my skin when I use it.
Bonus! This is a free tool once you have a baby washcloth or microfiber cloth.
Using an esthetic wipe with toner
Remember that a toner (aka - prep solution, treating mist, etc.) is part of The Core Four. Using this product adds many great ingredients for your skin without a high price tag.
My trick is to not just spray it on your skin, but to spray it on an esthetic wipe (or cotton round) and wipe away. This extra buffing of the skin not only removes any left over makeup, dirt, oil that you’ve missed from cleansing, but I feel like it helps get those ingredients immediately on the skin. LOVE IT!
Exfoliating regularly
Your home run hitter!!! Your skin slows down naturally exfoliating as we age, so it’s important that you help it along! If your skin is not properly exfoliated, the products you put on after will not be able to do their job 110%.
Tips for exfoliating …
Be sure to follow the instructions on your exfoliator. More is NOT better! Longer is NOT better!
If you exfoliate and mask, do them on the same day for an even bigger impact.
Pick days of the week that you always exfoliate so that you don’t go weeks without doing it.
Add in a serum
Yes girl! The other home run hitter in skin care and (in my opinion) where you should not skimp when it comes to the budget. Smaller molecule size means that it will penetrate your skin deeper, making greater, longer lasting changes.
Tips for adding in a serum …
Always use after your prep solution step
Use your Esthetician in helping you pick THE perfect serum to benefit YOUR skin
Use morning and night
Regular treatments
You knew I would talk about practice what you preach, didn’t you? Yes! I receive monthly facial treatments. And YES! I think that these trips to the ‘trainer’ make a difference on my skin.
One benefit that I wanted to point out is that you will have an extra set of eyes looking at changes in your skin.
And, if you make it into my treatment room, you will learn what it means to marry results with relaxation. Let’s schedule your appointment today.
So those are my best beauty secrets of 2023. Which one are you going to add into your beauty routine?
Use a facial mop
Use an esthetic wipe with toner
Exfoliate regularly
Add in a serum
Regular treatments

Opinion: Accutane and Acne
Years ago, I was adamant that Accutane was the worst medication. I couldn’t understand why anyone would want to take it (the laundry list of side effects) and knew that acne could also be cleared without the use of medications.
Fast forward through time and my son started having a lot of acne problems to the point where it was starting to scar. I was worried and then ask him to commit to a skin care routine, doing treatments, changing diet, etc. You should have seen his face.
I knew right then and there, we had to do something to minimize scarring.
AND then it hit me.
There is a time and a place to use all things. I think of it like eastern and western medicine. Can’t we use both? Can’t we all just get along?
My son was NOT going to follow any plan that his mom put together. He didn’t necessarily care, but I did. So we started Accutane. It took a couple months, but he started clearing and having great results.
My youngest daughter wanted to do the medicine too. I wanted to try to do the routine, diet, treatments and more with her to clear her acne. After a year of trying, her acne was worse than ever. So after a trip to a dermatologist, we started on that route as well.
As an Esthetician, it was hard at first to admit that I could not clear everyone. Through this experience, I am more open to different types of treatment and know even more than ever that a one size fits all approach to skin care is not realistic.
If you are struggling with acne, I recommend that you see an Esthetician that specializes in clearing acne or a dermatologist. Depending on the type of acne and your personal needs will determine the approach you should take. Don’t wait!

When you receive your goodie bag, you may have a skin care item included. Some have instructions and others aren’t included. If you are needing instructions, look no further! (All are available for purchase.)
Native Collagen Gel
This one can be used as a facial mask (quarter size or a little more - leave on for 15-20 minutes), a serum for dry skin, or moisturizer for oily skin. Pea size for serum or moisturizer. It’s one of GM Collin’s 911 products and I have to say that it’s one of my favorites!
Optimal Serum
Serums go on under your moisturizer. This one is my favorite product of 2016 and the reason I fell in love with GM Collin in the first place. Pea size is all you need. Top with moisturizer/SPF.
Optimal Cream/Gel
This is a great nighttime moisturizer (without SPF). The smells are just heavenly! Pea size.
Gold Nugget
You are in for a treat! The Gold Nugget is a ceramide. You use it after cleansing and toning. You can use it morning or night, but I prefer evening. Twist or break open and spread luxurious oil over face and decollette. This is a client favorite and one I recommend using at least once a week!
Anti-Aging Exfoliant Masque
For all skin types to use after cleansing up to 3 times per week. Leave on for 5-10 minutes, rinse with tepid water. Glymed product.
Mega-Purifying Cleanser
Apply 1-2 pumps to dry palms onto dry skin. Gently massage onto the face, neck and decollate to remove makeup, dirt, oil, debris and to prepare skin for 2nd cleanse. Add water to provide slip. Can be used as an eye makeup remover. Rinse with tepid water and wipe with a damp, gentle cloth. Another Glymed product.
Ultra Hydrating Enzyme Masque
After Cleansing. Apply masque to the face and allow to sit for 10-15 minutes. Remove with tepid water. Use 2-3 times a week. The newest Glymed product clients are falling in love with!
Fur Oil
Delicious for anywhere where skin and hair meet. (A favorite for my waxing clients.) Just a couple drops will go a long way. You can also use on your cuticles!

Brazilian Wax Testimonials For Essential Esthetics by Zoey
I often talk about Brazilian Waxing. This is my most requested service and the one that I perform the most. In 2022, I completed 881 Brazilian Waxes! I have perfected this treatment and focus on education, touch up strips, and after care … making this the best Brazilian Wax in Southeast Idaho.
But don’t take my word for it!
Here are a few of my most favorite Brazilian Wax Testimonials:
“Zoey is amazing! She is very friendly and professional. She made me feel comfortable and felt like I was chatting with my friend during the Brazilian wax, I didn’t feel pain. You can tell that she really knows what she’s doing.” —-Kate
“Zoey is absolutely fantastic, from the moment I met her she made me feel completely at ease and put my nerves to rest. She’s quick and efficient yet does a wonderful job.” —-Melanie
“What a sweet, wonderful gal Zoey is! SO PROFESSIONAL and SO PARTICULAR!!! Wish I hadn’t waited my whole 58 years to do a Brazilian!” —-Lisa

Syringa Spa Suites Highlight - Massage Therapist Erica Powell
I’m kind of a jack of all trades. First and foremost I am a mom to four amazing tiny humans. Aside from mom duty, I have done many things like; dental assisting, English major, Insurance agent, office manager, etc.. I just never felt like I was making a difference in the world or for anyone with any of these professions.
I was first introduced to massage therapy by my sister in law. I became so interested and was researching like crazy that she finally told me, I should just go to massage school! I looked into a bunch of different schools in the area and just wasn’t satisfied with the curriculum. I ended up finding a school in Boise and moved up there to get trained and licensed. While this was a challenging time, I believe it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Having training from a handful of different therapists from different massage backgrounds really helped me to become a well rounded and competent therapist.
I am so excited to bring new life to the massage world in Pocatello! I specialize in therapeutic massage modalities such as deep tissue,cupping, and sports. While I love a gentle massage, I also know without a doubt that deep tissue can be just as relaxing with so much added benefit to the body! I am constantly keeping up to date on the latest and greatest techniques. I am fascinated by the human anatomy and never want to stop learning how to help heal it!
In the coming months I will be attending multiple continuing education classes including Spontaneous Muscle Release and LomiLomi. I am excited to add these services to my menu in the near future!
Skin Care Trends - Icing
My teenager daughter keeps me in the loop about most current skin care trends. If you haven’t heard of icing, it’s the most popular one right now … and I’ve been talking about it for years.
Particularly in problematic and acne prone skin! When you have a pimple coming to the surface, one of the best ways to treat it is to ice it.
There are lots of different icing tools out there that are fancy and fun to use. The rollers that you stick in the fridge, cryosticks and more. But you don’t need to spend extra money on a gadget.
I love just sticking an ice cube in a baggie and holding over in circling on the spot until it gets cold. Then move to the next spot. If you are just working in one area, hold it as long as you can and then set the baggie down for a couple minutes and repeat until the ice cube is melted.
Either way, the trick is to cool and calm down the skin, but to continue moving it around so that you aren’t getting frost bite or other issues.
Why this works:
This works because acne is an inflammatory disease. As you work to remove the inflammation, the skin will start healing faster.
Can it work for other things?
The answer is yes! There is an aging that is related to inflammation as well. When you remove that one component, it will slow down aging and again, help the skin heal.
Have you tried it yet?
If you haven’t tried this trend, I really think that you will like the results. I even use cryosticks in my treatment room! Once you’ve tried it, let me know what you think!

Syringa Spa Suites Highlight - Massage Therapist Tiffany Stringham
I often joke that I am mom to 18 kids, but only 3 of them are mine forever. I have been a foster mom for 9 years and 2023 will be the first year that we take a step back from that life. My incredible partner in crime aka my husband and I have been so blessed to have one kiddo of our own and adopt 2. They keep us busy and we wouldn’t have it any other way!
I graduated from The College of Massage Therapy located at Bingham Memorial Hospital in 2017. I have always loved helping others and massage gave me a way to do that on a regular basis. One of the greatest blessings with massage for me has come with being able to help my daughter manage her pain and discomfort after her scoliosis diagnosis.
I specialize in cupping and therapeutic wellness massages. I love when a client leaves feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and feeling less pain and tension. Overall wellness of the body and mind is one of my top goals, so I often combine essential oils with massage. I always have quality DoTerra oils being diffused to help clients feel more relaxed & grounded.
I look forward to helping you this year and in the years to come with your wellness and self care goals and hope that you will allow me to show you just how good your body is meant to feel through quality, therapeutic massage.
Can’t wait to meet you! Tiffany
The Core Four
Have you ever heard about the core four? I’m excited to tell you today about these must have products for your home skin care routine. They are cleanser, prep solution, moisturizer and SPF.
#1 - Cleanser
This first step is the start to removing all of the makeup, dirt, oils, etc. that are on your skin. There are milk/lotion, oil, gel, or foaming cleansers. Some also have exfoliants in them.
You don’t want to layer the leave on products on dirty skin as they won’t work!
#2 - Prep Solution
This is the first leave on product to start with. It is a liquid, like water. This step helps to balance the pH of your skin and prepares it to receive all other ingredients that are left. This is my personal favorite step in the core four. It feels very refreshing and is often jam packed full of awesome ingredients and antioxidants, without a heavy price tag.
#3 - Moisturizer
When using just four products, the next thing that stays on the skin is moisturizer. Choosing a moisturizer that is right for your skin is important. They range from gel, to lightweight cream, to a traditional cream, to a thicker balm. Moisturizer helps the skin to balance and locks in all of the nutrients from the skin.
#4 - Sunscreen
In the morning, you’ll need to finish layering your skin with sunscreen. You can choose from physical or chemical SPF, but I always recommend picking one that you love the feel of, so that you use it daily and correctly. There’s nothing worse than using a product you don’t love. And with sunscreens, you definitely want something that feels nice to you!
So those are the core four!!! If you are missing one of these steps, try and add it in. I know you’ll see the changes in your skin …. without having to add too much time.
Don’t forget to
Breathe. Let Go. Relax.
