New to waxing? Waxing is one of the most popular ways to get rid of unwanted hair because, unlike shaving, it lasts for several weeks. It’s wonderful not having to deal with excess body hair for a month, but the waxing process is definitely not a fun one - especially...

CBD oil has been touted as the cure for issues ranging from acne to anxiety. Over the past couple of years, it has probably become one of the most controversial skin care ingredients because it’s derived from the hemp or marijuana plant, but what exactly is it and how...

We all want good, healthy skin, don't we? As an aesthetician, I often have clients come in with issues from common skincare mistakes that could easily be resolved by committing to a change of habits. Common skincare mistakes we are probably all guilty of can cause so...

You could get all the best cleansers, serums, and moisturizers in the market, but if you're not nourishing your body with the right vitamins, you'll never get your skin to look as healthy and glowy as you'd like it to be. If you're anything like me, you love eating...
