3-4 days after a facial is always the sweet spot. ✨ Extractions have healed, exfoliation sensitivity has subsided and all that’s left is healthy radiant skin! If you want to see real change in your skin, please know we have to do real work. The day of and day after a facial your skin may be taking its time to heal. But trust me, you’ll be so happy once you get to day 4! • Let me tell you, my own skin journey has been a BATTLE! I have EXTREMELY acneic skin. I also have melasma due to hormonal imbalances, and I wrinkle like tissue paper! Not to mention I have to test all products/modalities before I offer them which sometimes goes well and sometimes… not so well. So looking at this glow has me in my own feels a bit. 🥹 The road to healthy skin is a journey. Everyone is so subjective and there’s a lot of trial and error involved, but once we get the perfect combination of products and treatments, the result is magical. ✨ • • • #pasadenafacialspa #pasadenafacials #holisticfacial #holisticfaciallosangeles #facialslosangeles #eminenceorganics #eminenceorganicskincare #eminenceorganicsfacials

What a holiday week here at Willow and Glow! Leaving the studio every night after long hours this week, I felt nothing but pure joy and gratefulness. I LOVE taking care of you. This is such rewarding work for me. Opening this little business was the best thing for my soul. Providing a space for my clients to escape and feel safely taken care of truly warms my heart. Wishing everyone a beautiful holiday season! ✨🤍 #holisticfacials #pasadenafacials #selfcare #estheticianappreciation #naturalskincare

It takes time! This before/after is five months apart. I promise it’s worth it. ✨ Healing the skin naturally is not a quick fix, but it’s the most sustainable option. Sometimes we have to completely start over and rebuild your skins strength, barrier, and overall care. We’ll go through trial and error together, and in the long run… SUCCESS! ✨ Everyone’s skin is incredibly unique. There is no single fix for any skin concern. What works for you might be horrible for someone else with a similar condition. I will make recommendations based on science, and together we will create a care routine your skin agrees with. ✨ If you trust me, I will get us there. 🤍 #skintransformation #healthyskin #naturalskincare #naturalresults #healingfacials #pasadenafacials #pasadenaholisticsalon #skincarebeforeandafter

The first few minutes are chat heavy! This is perhaps the most important moment of the entire service. It is where we set up our road map and begin your journey toward glowing, healthy skin! ✨ • • • #pasadenafacials #pasadenaskincare #skinanalysis #skinjourney #pasadenacalifornia #pasadenaholisticsalon

As the days grow shorter and colder, you may feel sun protection is less necessary, but that’s absolutely not true! It only takes 10 minutes of sun exposure for those UV rays to cause damage. Even during cloudy days! UV rays responsible for aging (UVA) penetrate through clouds and age the skin. The sun is our number one cause of pre-mature aging, pigmentation and skin cancer. If you’re a human with skin, you must protect yourself. ✨ Pictured are a few of my favorite sun protectants for the face and body, including a wide brimmed hat! (Emphasis on “wide brimmed.” A baseball cap only protects a very small portion of the face.) Nothing is better than a complete block. However, it is important to know that reflective light causes damage too and relying solely on a hat or shade is not enough. Double up your protection, you’ll thank me later. 😉 ✨ Feel free to reach out with any SPF questions or more suggestions! I’m always here to help.
