The Good Esthetician

It's not quite winter yet, but apparently my skin didn't get the memo! 🥴

If your skin is already feeling dry, tight, or flaky, here's a simple way to give it some extra love.

Two of my favorite products from the Waxed Skin system are Step 1 Cleanse + Step 4 Maintain.

Step 1 contains papain, a papaya-derived enzyme that helps gently exfoliate dead surface skin cells while cleansing.

Step 4 is a nourishing botanical oil that helps soften skin and seal in moisture.

Gently exfoliate. Replenish moisture. Keep it simple.

And that's just one of the things I love about the entire Waxed Skin system! It's so much more than post-wax care. With five versatile steps, there are so many ways to customize your routine to address dryness, ingrowns, irritation, and everyday skin maintenance.

Sometimes it's not about having more products. It's about knowing what your products can do!

Let's talk BALANCE. ⚖️

Everyone wants smooth, bump-free skin after a wax, but what does it actually take to maintain those results?

That's where the Waxed Skin system comes in. A complete approach to waxing aftercare, with everything you need to care for your skin between appointments.

Today, we're spotlighting two important steps:

✨ Step 3 | CORRECT — 86 Correction Pads

Formulated with 2% salicylic acid and 5% glycolic acid, these pads help exfoliate dead skin cells, clear buildup around the follicles, reduce the likelihood of ingrown hairs, and improve uneven skin texture.

💧 Step 4 | MAINTAIN — Daily Botanical Treatment Oil

A blend of nourishing botanical oils, including jojoba, argan, grapeseed, and rosehip, that helps soften and condition the skin, reduce moisture loss, and support the skin's natural barrier.

Here's what I want you to know: exfoliation is only half the equation. Keeping your skin conditioned is just as important, and overdoing either step isn't the answer.

And we're answering those questions everyone has about waxing, ingrowns, exfoliation, and aftercare... even the ones you might feel a little silly asking. (Spoiler: they're not silly!)

Because a great wax doesn't end when you leave the treatment room. 🤍

Better aftercare. Better balance. Better waxing results.

I have news!
You guys know how much I love waxing, and I’m always telling my clients that what you do at home is just as important as what I do in the treatment room.
Well, I’ve officially partnered with Waxed Skin, a skincare line entirely focused on caring for waxed skin, as their founding educator.
I’ve been using the products for the last couple of weeks, and I genuinely love them. I’m so excited to finally start sharing them with you.
Over the next few months, I’ll be breaking down the products: what they do, how to use them, and who they’re for, both in the treatment room and at home.
I can’t wait to show you how the right skincare can help you get optimal results from your waxes.

Let’s talk about something most people deal with… but no one really explains 🌹

BioRePeel Rose is a professional peel formulated specifically for intimate and sensitive areas — not your typical facial peel repurposed for down there.

Here’s what makes it different.
Intimate skin has:
• thinner, more reactive tissue
• higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
• frequent irritation from shaving, waxing, friction

This peel is designed to work with that biology, not against it
It can help support:
✨ brightening + evening out discoloration
✨ reducing the look of scars + post-ingrown marks
✨ calming congestion and irritation
✨ improving overall skin tone and texture
And unlike aggressive peels, it focuses on skin renewal without excessive peeling or barrier damage — which is critical in these areas.

If you’re researching treatments (as a client or esthetician), this is one worth knowing about.

👉 You can find it through Bombshell Wax, the exclusive distributor for ROSE

I got to try a new treatment yesterday…
and I’m really excited to share more about this collab in the next few weeks

I’ve been thinking a lot about how isolating this industry can feel sometimes.

We graduate… go our separate ways… and then it’s like we’re all just trying to figure it out on our own.

Comparing. Overthinking. Burning out. Wondering if we’re doing it “right.”

And I just don’t think it has to be that way.

So I created a Facebook group specifically for estheticians in North Georgia 🤍
A space to connect, ask questions, share experiences, and actually support each other.

You don’t have to be in Georgia to join, but part of the goal is to build something local too...
regular in-person networking, sharing events, and creating real connections outside of social media.

Not competitive.
Not cliquey.
Just real people who want to grow.

If you’ve been craving more community in this industry… this is for you.

Comment “GROUP” and I’ll send you the link 🫶
Or add 1–2 estheticians you think would love this

Not in a studio right now, but still creating, still learning, still sharing what I love.

Beauty pros — don’t wait for the “perfect time” to post. Real > perfect, always.

This wax pot comeback though 👀

Sound on for the tip.

Earlier this week I checked out Bombshell Wax for the soft wax cartridge warmer (I’m obsessed with the idea of quicker, cleaner services for larger areas)… but then I started browsing and suddenly had a full cart 😂 Their site is honestly so easy to navigate and it has pretty much everything you could ever need for a wax studio in one place. I even got 10% off just for adding my email, which felt like a little win. Excited to play around with all of this and see what becomes a new staple in my setup.
