Five Things Your Esthetician Wishes You’d Stop Doing

Because your skin is trying to tell you something—and so am I.

Let’s cut to it.

You want better skin, but some of the things you’re doing at home are holding you back. And I say this with love—because I’ve done some of these things too. I see it on your face before you even tell me what you’re using.

So here it is:

5 habits your esthi (hi, me 👋🏽) wishes you’d stop doing so your skin can finally breathe, heal, and glow.

1. Playing chemist in your bathroom.

Just because you saw it on TikTok doesn’t mean it belongs on your face.

Retinol, glycolic, vitamin C, and whatever that influencer was pushing? Mixing them with no plan is a recipe for irritation—especially on melanated skin.

✨ Instead: Keep it simple. Consistency beats chaos every time.

2. Popping your pimples with your nails.

I know you think you’re helping. You’re not.

You’re making it worse—every. single. time.

Scars, inflammation, spread bacteria… and now you’ve added two more weeks to healing.

✨ Instead: Come see me. I’ll extract safely and treat the spot without trauma.

3. Using 4 different exfoliants at once.

Scrub + glycolic toner + peel pads + that “brightening mask” = barrier begging for help.

Over-exfoliating is one of the fastest ways to trigger sensitivity and discoloration.

✨ Instead: Let’s build a routine that works with your skin, not against it.

4. Skipping sunscreen because you “don’t burn.”

I love melanin. I really do. But it’s not sun-proof.

Skipping SPF keeps your dark spots dark. It undoes all the progress you’re making.

✨ Instead: Wear SPF 30+ daily. Rain, shine, winter, or WFH—it matters.

5. Treating your skin like the enemy.

Being mad at your skin won’t fix it.

Being mean to it won’t heal it.

What you need is patience, strategy, and support that actually makes sense.

✨ Instead: Book your consultation. Let’s build something that works—together.

💬 Final Word:

If your skin’s been “acting up,” it’s not being difficult.

It’s responding to how it’s being treated.

Let’s stop guessing and start treating it with the care it actually needs.
