While there are so many directions I could take this post, I’m sticking with the topic of Acne, or perhaps, the lack thereof this time of year! Let’s talk about Summer Clearing for a minute, since many don’t want to draw attention to that topic! (And keep reading even if you don’t clear up in early summer! There is info for you, too!) What if, you battle with acne almost all year, until summer rolls around? You wouldn’t be alone! In fact, there are a handful of skin conditions that respond seemingly well to UV! Note that it is not standard acne cases that clear up with some sun exposure. It is usually seen on the face, but specifically in the T-Zone, or on the back or chest, and does not discriminate between males and females. These are usually small “pimples” that are typically red around them, and they never truly “come to a (white)head.” They wax and wane all year long, but then you notice in the summer sun, they go away. This gets you thinking, when it rolls back around in the late summer or fall, maybe you should hit the tanning bed……….

You are not going to believe what happened during our stay at home order?! I have never been one to enjoy politics at all! (Please don’t tell my HS government teacher! She was amazing! No reflection on her! LOL!) Politics are so important, and the fact that I have the right to vote, as a US citizen, but also as a woman!

I’m sure if you are still reading, you are convinced you know what I am going to say. “Invest in those treatments! Peels and lasers are not a waste! Etc! Etc! Etc!” After all, I am a professional skin therapist first and foremost, who makes their living from doing these treatments day in and day out! And while I personally feel they are great, I also see too many clients and patients who are in fact, wasting their precious time and hard earned money! (Didn’t expect to read that, did you?!)

I love all things beauty! How about you?! I’m guessing you at least LIKE most things beauty, or you wouldn’t have landed here! In case we haven’t “met” yet, my name is Tarrah, and I have been working in this business for 20 years! I worked in cosmetic sales for 5 years, before becoming a Licensed Esthetician 15 years ago! My mind was blown when I went from working in that narrow focus of cosmetics, into the world of professional skincare and skin treatments! So many things! (But I will save those details for another blog!)

What a whirlwind the past several weeks have been! Being surrounded by so much uncertainty can weigh on all of us and make it difficult to stay positive day to day. How do we fix this? Are we supposed to just stay in a rut until we can resume our normal lives again?

Are you as reliant on the conveniences of Amazon as I am? I mean, let’s be honest, it remembers what I bought last, it shows me things I can purchase that are less expensive, and it stores my credit card and address? Sign me up, right?!

I have personally worked in the skincare and cosmetic industry for nearly 20 years, and may I just declare it here and now: I am overwhelmed most days with the amount of information out there! As a licensed professional, who holds incredibly high regard for my continuing education, if I feel this way, I cannot imagine how our clients feel! Go with me on this journey for a minute and tell me if this sounds familiar……

We’ve all been there. It’s December 31 and you’ve decided to start fresh TOMORROW on those goals (right after you finish off the last of those Christmas cookies, you’ll think about your waistline and how the sugar impacts your skin. Am I right?)

In most cases acne is hereditary, however, it can be triggered by other external factors in some cases. If you're experiencing breakouts or have been a long time acne sufferer, it is important to first step back and evaluate your lifestyle.
