The Disruption of Wellness and Aesthetics

What an intense week here in Miami, with the Art Basel walking museum that we just had. I just can’t have enough of the energy and beauty that surrounds all of Miami. One of the hot topics of the week was the banana sold for $120,000. And true, that’s outrageous!… but I do like the fact that the artist is trying to disrupt art and the way it is presented. And yes, disrupt is a word that’s in fashion lately. In this case, I can only interpret that the artist was trying to make a point that art is all around us. And it truly is… For...

Celebrating The Evolution Of Skin Care

So how does this correlate to skin care? Well, I am just amazed at how much skincare has evolved through the years. While Cleopatra will always be famous for her milk baths, we now have many more options as we enter an age where, with discipline and consistency, we can stay fit, as we look and feel good for many years.  For me this is important, because even as we admire youth, as we should, there are many qualities that are sharpened as we age. SO why can’t we also admire age? Why can’t we commit to staying fit through the years? I have heard many of my...

Treating Skin of Color…

With 2019 full speed ahead, and now that “Diversity” is more than a fact of life, but a trend, I thought I would write about treating skin of color. The reason that I say diversity is a trend, is because to me, it is awareness that is increasing, since diversity has always existed. The influence that different ethnic groups and cultures have had over each other has always been present. It is true that mixed ethnicities are more prevalent, which is important when treating skin of color… The closer to the equator the darker the skin, and the further north the lighter the skin. This is because of...

Those Pesky Little Veins…

No wonder there are so many sayings and love stories about blood in our veins, or phrases that use the veins to express our feelings (e.g. cold-blooded)…However, for too many of us, all we can say is “those pesky little veins”. And the truth is that they can swell, itch, burn, tingle, cause aching and cramping, and more. Depending on the severity, they may reduce circulation, and produce discoloration and ulceration of the skin. So what can cause spider veins? Is it from aging, obesity, pregnancy, trauma, or lifestyle? For example, nurses get them a lot because they stand and are on their feet for a very long...

Nurse Aestheticians: Bridging The Gap Between Wellness and Medicine

As I spoke to a client, who happened to be a fellow aesthetician, about the changing field we deal with every day when a client opens our door, I realized it was time to write about our role in people’s lives as gatekeeper of their wellness goals. I say this because the soul of the medical field has changed, and many times a medical diagnosis results in quick prescriptions with treatment with steroids and antibiotics. As many of you know, some of these, treat the symptom and not the cause, and can be toxic to your body. There’s a lot to be gained by adopting a holistic, preventive...

Cellulite: The Big Enigma

One of the top concerns of my clients, along with hair removal, is cellulite. The concern is real, since many of them refuse to wear shorts or even a bathing suit due to the embarrassment resulting from cellulite. And while trying to diminish its importance is a way to deal with it, with new treatment options, we can feel better about ourselves. The truth is that the etiology of cellulite is not completely known. So what is cellulite, besides the appearance, to some degree, of cottage cheese on our skin? One theory proposes that cellulite is the result of herniation of fat protruding through a weakened dermis and...
