It’s very important to understand that achieving healthy skin is like working out your body to stay or get in shape! The job is never done, and is a lifelong commitment. Knowing how and where to start is where we come in, and lay it all out for you, and hold your hand along the way! We offer Virtual Skin Memberships to create you a customized skin regimen that works for you and your skin, teaching on the products and why you’re using each, providing the order your products will go in, getting to the route cause of your skin concerns such as acne, rosacea and Melasma through a holistic approach, 24/7 virtual support to answer any questions (this may change in the future), and progress tracking, and scheduled follow ups. This will only work with your 100% compliance to the protocols and guidance provided to you, we do not use the cookie cutter protocols provided by the companies, and skincare is not a one size fits all.

Purging of the skin is very similar to when you are sore after a workout. If you haven’t worked out before or are just getting back into it, then you are most likely to become sore after. It’s not a fun feeling but it is a sign that you are working out the right muscles and are closer to your workout goals.

When introducing active ingredients such as our customized regimens to your skin for the first time, you are very likely to purge. Purging isn’t a sign that something is wrong or your skin is sensitive or doesn’t like the products, it’s a sign that we are closer to your skin goals!

What is Purging? This is when you experience multiple breakouts all at once. This is your skins way of detoxifying itself, and the breakouts that you are experiencing during the purge were already there brewing up under the skin. Think of our “roach theory”… acne is like a roach infested house, we could kill one roach at a time as we see them (like pimples), but there’s still roaches infesting inside of the walls that we can’t see (the brewing of your breakouts under the skin). BUT if we roach bomb, they all come out and die (thus, the purging when introducing your skin to active ingredients). We are roach bombing the skin when we introduce it to actives, some experience purging and some don’t. 

Pardon our odd comparison, but it’s the best way to put acne purging into perspective! Skin purging is a sign of SUCCESS NOT FAILURE. We are initiating the clearing process to clear the skin quicker. You do not get results by keeping stagnant, which means when nothing changes, then nothing is changing.

Ask yourself this when experiencing purging when starting on our protocols… would you rather a LIFETIME OF BREAKOUTS…. Or 3-6 months of breakouts? Yep you read that right… healthy skin does not happen over night, or weeks, this is months of hard work!

Your skin needs time to adjust when starting on active ingredients, have some patience and trust your esthi!!
