It’s a FACT💯I do in fact love making others feel beautiful… Happy Friday! Hope everyone has a blessed day & weekend🤍

May Specials Are Here!!

Happy Fact Friday! These are in no particular order. Here are 12 extremely important non-medical tools essential for a healthy mind & body & skin!

Which ones are your “MUSTS?”
I have many auto immune diseases that battle daily. My needs will be different from yours. We know that what we put on our face/body skin can affect it outwardly, but it’s also important to understand the mental side of healthy skin. Healthy skin comes from so much more than just a topical skin care regimen and treatments/facials. What we put into our body & also on our body aids in mental toughness, stability and functionality. Here are my top 4🤍

🙏🏼For many, prayer is considered an essential, daily spiritual link that fosters a relationship with God, provides guidance, & builds resilience against life’s challenges. For me personally, it provides a constant communication that offers peace, lowers my stress, & aligns my personal actions with divine purpose.

🌊The Ocean. This one is my favorite & absolute must have & where I feel the most grounded mentally & emotionally. The ocean is vital for daily health because it produces 50-80% of the world’s oxygen, regulates climate, & supports mental well-being. It provides nutrient-rich seafood for over 3 billion people, compounds for medicines treating cancer & heart disease, & negative ions in sea air that boost mood.

🌞Sun-derived vitamin D is crucial for daily life because it acts as a hormone regulating calcium absorption for bone health, boosting immune function, supporting muscle strength, & enhances our mood by managing serotonin levels.

🤣Laughter is an essential & powerful tool for maintaining daily physical, mental, & social well-being. It acts as “strong medicine” that brings the mind & body back into balance by reducing stress, strengthening immunity, & fostering human connection.

Healthy Skin = Consistency + The Right Treatments

Yes, It Really Is That Simple😉

Monarch Skin April Specials 🧡🦋

We made it to FRIDAY 🙌🏽 Does anyone else feel like this was the longest week?!?

❗️HABITS : We all have them & we all have tried to break a bad habit. It’s not easy!! I tell my patients, especially my acne patients when I am trying to get them to eat less gluten, dairy, sugar to start small. Don’t try & break a habit cold turkey, because it won’t work, you’ll quit, you’ll wanna give up & you’ll fuel your body full force of those things even worse than before.

❗️SUGGESTIONS : If you don’t wear sunscreen, start wearing a little bit of sunscreen each day. I can help you find a sunscreen that works for your skin, that feels good & you’ll love! We all could use better sleep! Instead of going to bed at 10pm, shoot for 9pm a few nights a week.

🫶🏽Small steps lead to big accomplishments & soon you will notice a wonderful change in your skin & health for the better I promise.

☀️If you are on Spring Break…You Better Have Your SPF With You & Putting It On☀️

😎Here Are 5 Science-Backed Facts About Using SFF On Your Face :

1. SPF Is Your #1 Anti-Aging Product.
PERIOD!

2. You Need More Than You Think.
For your face, you should use about a nickel-sized amount (or the “two-finger rule”)

3. SPF 30 Is The Minimum-But Higher Can Help.
SPF 30 blocks about 97% of UVB rays, while SPF 50 blocks about 98%.

4. It Protects Against Skin Cancer - Not Just Sunburn. Regular use significantly lowers your risk of skin cancer, including serious forms like melanoma.

5. It Must Be Reapplied To Keep Working.
Sunscreen isn’t a one-and-done step. It breaks down with sun exposure, sweat, and oil. Reapply every 2 hours.

My Personal FAVORITES Are 🔻

⛱️ SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense : This SPF is AMAZING!! I have used this SPF for years! It is an SPF 50 it even skin tone and it is 100% mineral SPF with a universal tent. My husband’s favorite too!

😎 Color ☑️Science Total Protection Face Shield Flex :
I LOVE this SPF!! It is a SPF 50 broad spectrum, all mineral sunscreen. This too has a universal tent and provides a really pretty glow to the skin.

😍HALO RESULTS & BENEFITS😍

These pictures are MY CHEST & MY PERSONAL RESULTS! I’ve never done a laser on my chest before this, so there is years and years of sun damage. I was a lifeguard for 6 years, tanning beds (because I’m a 90’s girl🫶🏽) and a lover of the beach & lake.

💚WHY :
Doing a Halo Laser treatment on your chest can make a huge difference because that area ages faster than most people realize. Our chest gets a lot of sun exposure, has thinner skin, and develops crepiness, pigment, and lines earlier.

💚HOW :
The lasers wavelengths treat both surface pigment and deeper sun damage, helping the chest look more clear and brighter. Developing a more even skin tone and fewer visible sun spots.

💚WHAT :
1. Corrects Sun Damage & Brown Spots
2. Improves Crepey Skin
3. Softens Chest Wrinkles & “Sleep Lines
4. Improves Texture & “Rough” Skin
5. Gives the Chest the “HALO Glow”
6. Prevents the “Face–Chest Age Gap”

💚RESULTS :
⭐️ 1–2 treatments
⭐️ 3–5 days of redness and swelling
⭐️ Sandpaper “MENDs” for about a week
⭐️Continued improvement for 3–6 months as collagen builds.

So happy with my results!!! It’s VERY important to understand that I can’t “Get Rid Of” or have pigmentation “Be Gone”
I unfortunately don’t have a magic wand, no Aesthetician does, but with treatments like the Halo, commitment, consistency, SPF, and medical grade skincare, I can help to create healthy, youthful and glowing skin.
I will do another Halo after summer and continue to maintain my results.
