This is what consistency actually looks like. 👏🏼 First photo is December 11, second is December 30, and the last is January 13. In the beginning she had mostly non-inflamed congestion with only a few Inflamed pustules. Then we saw a mix of non-inflamed and inflamed breakouts as the skin started responding. Now her forehead texture is noticeably smoother and calmer. Nothing crazy. No overnight fixes. Just showing up, following her customized homecare, and staying consistent with treatments every 2–3 weeks. I’m so proud of this client for staying dedicated to the plan and trusting the process — even during the phase where skin can feel frustrating and unpredictable. That consistency is exactly why we’re seeing these changes already. This is the part people don’t always talk about: skin can look worse before it looks better, and that doesn’t mean it isn’t working. It means it is. I’m really excited to see where her skin is in another month or two! Because of results like this, I’m opening up a few spots for clients who want to commit to their skin the same way. I’m looking for 3 people who are ready to show up, follow a plan, and give it time. This will be a 4-month commitment at a heavily discounted rate. If that sounds like you, message me and let’s talk 🤍

NEW YEAR • NEW STRATEGY If you’ve ever wondered why your “good” skincare still isn’t working — you’re not alone. Most of the time, the issue isn’t the product… it’s the plan behind it. Your skin isn’t stubborn. It’s overwhelmed. 🤍 In 2026, I want to help YOU step out of the guessing game and into a calm, simple routine that actually supports your skin — not stresses it out. You don’t need more products. You just need the right plan for your skin. If your skincare routine feels confusing, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Send me “RESET” and I’ll help you take the next right step… or book a First-Timer Treatment + Consultation and let’s rebuild your routine with clarity and intention. Here’s to intentional skin in 2026. ✨ — S&S Aesthetics #skinbarrier #acnesupport #clinicalskincare #sensitiveskin #Kentuckyaesthetician

If you’ve ever wondered why your “good” skincare still isn’t...

If you would have told me at the beginning of this year that I’d be ending it as a solo esthetician, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. I came out of school fully expecting to work in a MedSpa, and I was so grateful for the two incredible opportunities that came my way. But God had a different plan — even when I tried to avoid it 🙃 He knew best all along. Since opening my doors on November 17th, I’ve been blessed to serve over 50 clients — and 18 of you now see me every two weeks. That still blows my mind. I absolutely LOVE what I do, and I am so thankful for the trust you’ve placed in me with your skin and your stories. You’ve become so much more than “clients.” I want to thank my mentor @nevetteramos for believing in me, pushing me, and being the most amazing mentor. Thank you to my family for your constant love and support. Thank you @brad_smithrealtor for being the most supportive husband and my steady place through it all. Most importantly — I’m especially grateful to God for leading me somewhere better than I ever imagined. The way this year began and the way it’s ending are completely different… and I wouldn’t change a single step. My heart is so, so grateful and I can’t wait to see what 2026 has in store for me. 🤍

✨ TREATMENT SPOTLIGHT + REAL RESULTS Inflacure Healing Active + LightStim LED ❄️💚 Colder weather = compromised barriers, more inflammation, and increased redness… which is exactly why this winter healing duo is a staple in my treatment room. Swipe to see how we calmed this client’s irritation and redness in one treatment ✨ 💧 Inflacure (Urea + Chlorophyll) Urea → pulls moisture in, softens dry skin, strengthens the barrier Chlorophyll → reduces redness, soothes irritation, supports healing 🔆 Paired with LightStim (Red + Infrared LED) LightStim boosts everything Inflacure does by: – Reducing inflammation – Accelerating recovery – Increasing circulation – Strengthening the barrier – Enhancing product absorption ✨ The Result Less redness, a calmer barrier, and visibly more hydrated skin — all from one session focused on soothing + healing, not stripping. This is the foundation of acne work: we calm the skin first, then continue building her long-term corrective plan for clear, healthy skin. 🤍 #barrierhealth #skinspecialist #acnespecialist #kentuckyaesthetician

One treatment. 🤯 This client received a single session of my Zemits RF skin tightening, and you can already see the difference — smoother texture, softened fine lines, improved hydration, and a healthier, firmer look under the eyes. Radiofrequency works by safely heating the dermis to stimulate collagen, tighten laxity, and plump fine lines from within. Even one session can create visible change… but the long-term results come with consistency. If you’re ready to start a corrective, age-supportive treatment plan, message me to book. 🤍

90 days. One treatment. Consistent homecare. Look at the difference. 👀✨ Her goals: • brighten + even tone • soften texture • improve sun damage • reduce under-eye crepiness • overall skin rejuvenation Her results so far: ✔ noticeably smoother texture ✔ brighter, more even tone ✔ healthier hydration + glow ✔ softened fine lines ✔ under-eye area looks firmer and less crepey ✔ visible pigment reduction …all before even starting advanced corrective work. This is why homecare matters. This is why having a professional plan matters. And this is why consistency always wins. If this is what 90 days + one treatment can do… imagine 6 months. ✨ December first-timer openings are limited. DM me to get started with a customized corrective routine.

One treatment + a personalized regimen = this glow 🤍✨ She’s been following her custom homecare and came in today for her very first treatment — and the brightness, smoothness, and hydration are already so noticeable. This is what happens when your skin is supported consistently, both at home and in the treatment room. It creates that fresh, healthy, “I take care of my skin” glow… even from the very first visit. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to prioritize your skin for the holiday rush — photos, gatherings, and seeing everyone you haven’t seen all year. I have a few openings tomorrow and a couple next week, and once they’re gone, that’s it until after Thanksgiving. If you want to walk into the holiday feeling radiant and confident, now is the moment to grab a spot. 🤍

As the air gets cooler and humidity drops, your skin’s moisture barrier takes a hit — leading to dryness, tightness, and inflammation. The Epicutis Lipid Serum is a must this time of year because it restores what your skin naturally loses: lipids. Lipids = the building blocks of your skin barrier. When that barrier is healthy, your skin stays hydrated, calm, and glowing — even in the driest conditions. This formula strengthens, soothes, and replenishes using patented lipid technology — helping your skin retain moisture instead of constantly chasing it. 💡 Pro tip: layer this serum underneath your moisturizer morning and night for long-lasting hydration and barrier repair. 🔥 Trust me — your winter skin will thank you. I only have ONE left in stock, so snag yours before it’s gone!

✨ Skincare Line Spotlight: EPICUTIS ✨ When curating professional lines for my treatment room, I wanted brands rooted in science, integrity, and results. One of those is Epicutis — a clean, clinical skincare line born from biotechnology research at Princeton University. 🧬 Founded by Maxwell Stock and developed alongside his father, Dr. Jeffry Stock (a Princeton professor), Epicutis is backed by serious science. Product development is led by Masanori Tamura, a Japanese chemist and early pioneer in hyaluronic acid innovation — blending precision with simplicity. 💧 Why I Love It: Epicutis is the FIRST and ONLY EWG-verified medical-grade skincare line, meeting the highest standards for safety and efficacy. Every formula is non-toxic, fragrance-free, and focused on barrier repair, inflammation control, and long-term skin health. My current favorite? The Lipid Serum — a minimalist, 8-ingredient formula designed to calm, balance, and strengthen the skin barrier. It’s ideal for post-procedure care and sensitive or compromised skin. *Sold out before I even opened my treatment room! 🤩* You’ll see Epicutis used throughout my advanced corrective treatments — including Procell Microchanneling, peels, and restorative facials — wherever the skin needs extra healing support. This Brand represents everything I want my clients to experience: clean science, real results, and healthy skin from the inside out. ✨ Epicutis is just the beginning. Stay tuned as I introduce each professional line I’ve hand-selected for my treatment room and share why I trust them to deliver lasting results. #Epicutis #LipidSerum #ClinicalSkincare #SkinBarrierHealth #BarrierRepair #CorrectiveSkincare #ProcellMicrochanneling #KentuckyEsthetician #SkinSpecialist

As the weather cools and the sun’s intensity fades, fall becomes one of the best times to reset your skin. 🍁 Chemical peels work by gently exfoliating the outer layers of skin — helping to fade sun damage, smooth texture, brighten tone, and encourage new cell growth. Think of it as pressing “refresh” on your complexion after a long summer. You may notice redness the first day, light peeling a few days later, and by week two—your skin looks brighter, smoother, and healthier. ✨ This season is the perfect time to begin (or restart) your peel series to rebuild healthy, radiant skin before winter sets in. 📅 Ready to start your skin transformation? Book your customized peel consultation — your glow will thank you.

AFTER —> BEFORE When I say I understand acne on a personal level — I mean it. Even as a professional, I’ve experienced flare-ups from stress, hormones, and barrier damage. These photos remind me that skin health is a journey — not a quick fix. What worked for me wasn’t harsh treatments or constant product hopping. It was barrier repair, consistency, and customized care. Here’s what my routine looks like right now 👇 AM: 🧴 Face Reality Barrier Balance Creamy Cleanser or Glymed Mega Cream cleanser 💦 CBD Mist 💧 GlyMed Soothing CBD Serum 🌿 Face Reality Hydraremedy or Glymed Ultra Hydro Gel for barrier support ☀️ SPF (Face Reality or Glymedl) PM: 🧼 Face Reality Barrier Balance Creamy Cleanser (OR) Glymed Mega Cream Cleanser & Face Reality Gentle cleanser (always double cleanse!) ✨ Face Reality 5% Mandelic Serum a few nights per week 💧 HydraRemedy + Clearderma Moisturizer or Glymed Daily Repair Cream 💆‍♀️ Omnilux Red LED therapy / Blue Light Blemish Eraser or Glymed Hydrating enzyme mask as needed for healing and glow That’s the philosophy behind every acne treatment plan I create: correct without compromising your barrier, and rebuild long-term balance. 🤍 If you’re struggling with breakouts or post-acne inflammation, it’s not too late to reset your skin this season. Fall is the perfect time to start your customized plan — FREE VIRTUAL consultations are open now. #facerealityskincare #glymedplus #EKYesthetician #correctiveskin

✨ Do you deal with painful, inflamed acne? I do! 🙋🏼‍♀️✨ When breakouts get red, swollen, and uncomfortable, the goal isn’t just to cover them up— it’s to calm them down at the source. Here are the 3 things I reach for when inflammation hits: 🌿 @facerealityskincare Reality 6% Sulfur Spot Treatment- this dries out active pustules + targets acne-causing bacteria 🔅 My @omniluxled Blue Light Spot Treatment- this device reduces inflammation + kills bacteria with LED therapy ❄️ Ice Globes (or ice cubes!)- ice is amazing at soothing swelling and reduces redness almost instantly. 💡 Keep in mind: everyone’s skin is unique. What works for me may not exactly work for you. Acne can look the same on the surface, but the causes are different for each person. That’s why seeing an acne specialist is crucial— so you can have the right personalized home care routine that actually works for your skin. 💬 Which one would you like to try first? 📩 Ready to get a routine tailored for you? My studio is opening SOON, so send me a DM if you’d like to be added to my PRIORITY LIST for acne-focused treatments + homecare! 🫶🏼 #Acnetips #AcneCare #InflamedAcne #AcneTreatments #SkinHealth #FaceRealityAcneSpecialist #ResultsDrivenSkincare #EKYEsthetician #facereality #omniluxlighttherapy
