The Best Way to Transform Dull Skin into Glowing Skin

It’s that time of year again: animals are preparing for their winter hibernation…and so is your skin!  Not to mention: dryer weather, colder winds, and all the environmental pollution your skin faces on a daily basis. If you can feel your skin entering hibernation mode, you’re not alone boo!!  Keep reading to find out how to get clear, glowing skin– fast. 

The most effective way to achieve the glowing skin you’ve been dreaming of starts with giving love to your skin’s barrier! Everyone’s skin has a natural protective barrier comprised of water + sweat + oil. You can think of your barrier as your skin’s security guard: it keeps the harmful stuff out of your system while protecting your skin.

Just like a car on the road, your skin barrier can face its fair share of wear and tear. There are some common skin conditions that are associated with a damaged skin barrier:

  • Adult acne

  • Atopic dermatitis (eczema)

  • Ichthyosis

  • Rosacea

  • Psoriasis

But you can also damage your skin barrier from:

  • Using harsh chemicals or soaps

  • Over-exfoliating or scrubbing your skin

  • Not using a moisturizer

Still unsure about the status of your skin barrier? Here are a few more signs you need to revive your skin’s security guard:

  • Acne

  • Dry, scaly and/or flaky skin

  • Infection

  • Inflammation and irritation

  • Itchiness

  • Rough patches

  • Stinging, especially when you apply skin care products

  • Tenderness or sensitivity

A damaged skin barrier means your skin is vulnerable to bacteria, toxins, and viruses, not to mention losing moisture and becoming inflamed!🥲  But don’t fret: with some consistent loving maintenance, your skin’s barrier can operate smoothly. There are multiple ways to strengthen your skin’s barrier so you can experience clearer, glowing skin.  

Tips for clear skin:

  • Utilize calming, strengthening ingredients like Bakuchiol - a gentle, natural alternative to retinol, that “may activate similar pathways to boost collagen production,” says S. Tyler Hollmig, MD, a board-certified dermatologist and the director of laser and cosmetic dermatology at the University of Texas.

  • Choose fragrance-free products to keep your skin from potential irritation.

  • Avoid over-exfoliating to ensure your skin gets the TLC it deserves!

Sunni really catered my experience to my skin. Being my first facial, she took the time to explain everything that would be happening in ways I would understand and made sure the service was catered to my needs. Can't recommend her enough!08.09.2023 · Chelsea

“Sunni is the best! I have seen so much improvement in my skin quality in 2 months with Sunni than any time with a dermatologist. She is very knowledgeable, cares deeply and is a truly amazing human being. She has a special skill to make you feel comfortable while talking about things that are difficult (adult facial acne) and embarrassing. She truly has a gift.”

“I love the fact that every facial is truly customized to address my skin’s temperamental needs! Whether it’s dry skin from constant weather changes or hormonal in nature, Sunni has the magic touch when it comes to customization! Bonus - products are very affordable & last FOREVER!!!”  04.27.2021 · Tanya

I had a customized facial from Sunni and it was the BEST facial I have ever had! Sunni is so knowledgeable and explained everything she was doing and why. I've never had a good skincare routine and she put me on a plan and had a detailed description of what I needed to do with each product. She even checked in with me a few days after to see how things were going and if I had any questions. I can't wait to go back for my next facial and can't wait to see the changes in my skin over the next few months!10.28.2020 · Michaun

I’m so grateful I’ve had so many amazing clients who have trusted me with their skin education and service; especially in a world with expensive dermatologists who don’t care about the environmental/social impact of the products they use! As a queer small business owner who has struggled with my own skin in the past, I do things a little differently!

I’m excited for your skin revival journey! See you soon <3
