Alethea’s Skincare Tips

While professional treatments certainly help, there's nothing better you can do for your skin than looking after it right from home. As a professional aesthetician, I love researching and trying out the latest technology in the skincare industry, and while lasers and...

Exercising is one of the most important steps to a healthy body and mind. Not only does working out make you feel refreshed, energized, and looking great, but getting your heart pumping on a regular basis can help you make your skin look better than ever. With that...

Some things are simply not meant to be, and while I totally believe you can achieve anything you put your mind to, on this occasion, I'm talking about skincare ingredients. Simply put, some ingredients are simply meant to work on their own, especially when it comes to...

Pimples show up riiiiight when you least need them to. Got a date this weekend? Your BFF's wedding? Yep, it's 100% going to show up. Don't take it from me - it's science. The good news is that an inconvenient pimple doesn't have to ruin your day. There are super...

Good skincare habits should start early, but they can look a little different once you reach the fourth floor. By the time we reach our 40s, our skin turnover is much, much slower than it was in our 20s or 30s. What that means is that, essentially, healing from things...

When we think of skincare regimens and eye serums, we immediately think of women. It's not surprising, really, especially when you consider most marketing efforts in the industry are aimed at the female gender. I think it's about time we talk about skincare for men....

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...

Vitamin C is often found in skincare products both for the face and for the body. Vitamin C is one of the best vitamins for skincare in the sense that it encourages new collagen to grow, protects your skin from sun damage, fades pigmentation, and so many more benefits...

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...
