I've been on a hair growth journey for a while now — and I've learned so many little things that have made a big difference

My real hair has grown so much, even though I still wear two rows of extensions (after a bad haircut + hair loss…used to be three rows, but I don't need as much anymore.)

I'm still on the journey, but seeing the progress has been so motivating and consistency is so important!
Want to know the exact products + routine that I'm doing?

I’ll never forget my teacher telling me “your hair isn’t clean unless it lathers and foams” and I still think about that every time I wash my hair.

Because I don’t wash my hair every day and use a lot of products, I always wash twice.

I mix up the shampoos I use depending on what my hair needs, more targeted on my scalp and more hydrating through my ends. I included some of the ones I’m using currently!

Comment HAIR and I’ll send you hair washing products I like. What are your go-to hair tips?

A mix of medical grade and cosmetic products focused on glow, barrier support, and antiaging ✨

I try a lot of products and don’t always love them, but my skin has been loving this combo.

I linked some less expensive alternatives for the growth factors

Order of Products:
- Medicube Hypochlorus Acid spray (cleans/preps skin)
- Haru Haru Esscense (hydrating toner/preps skin)
- Aestura barrier mist (barrier support)
- VT Cosmetics Reedle shot 100 (creates tiny channels so products penetrate deeper. "Microneedling in a bottle.")
- Medicube or Rejuran PDRN
- Dr. Diamon Metacine Growth factors line
- Retinol of your choice (I am using a favorite that is gentle)
- Epii Double Up Cream (Moisturizing barrier cream to sandwhich with retinol and avoid irritation)
- Adipeau volume cream under eyes and firming cream to neck (don't put retinol on these areas)
- Revitalash lash and brow serum
- Abib PDRN Lip mask

**Some nights I do the Biodance Collagen serum and cream on top if I want a collagen mask-like result instead of wearing a mask.

Skincare simplified. You Beauty is about needing less products but still having products that are very effective. They say their Resurfacing compound is like eight products in one. This is an option for those who don’t like a lot of steps.

My bodycare routine is:
- treat
- moisturize
- seal
- protect (daytime spf)

My Personal routine:
AM:
-glycolic body spray (I spray on a clean skin towel, wipe my entire body, and let it dry a few minutes). You can alternate this and only do a few times a week
-Necessaire or one skin peptide lotion
-seal woth body oil (I usually do necessaire which also has peptides)
*i don’t do glycolic in the day if I will be in the sun a lot. And SPF on hands or exposed parts is key

PM:
- retinol body lotion (wait a few minutes)
- hydrating body lotion (like eos or osea)
- body oil (loccitane, eos, or osea)
- I give my hands extra love at night with hand creams

*optional body border if I want to smell extra yummy and don’t want to have greasy skin

Put this combo under makeup for extra glow and hydration. Swipe the balm under eyes and pat the milk into your skin or mix with foundation

Peptides + PDRN signal your skin to repair and support collagen between treatments.

So instead of relying on in-office results alone… you’re building on them every day.

NAD levels naturally decline as we age. Tru Niagen contains nicotinamide riboside, which helps support NAD and cellular energy.

This week’s morning skincare routine.
I test and rotate products a lot, but this is what I’ve been using lately and really loving.
Because I deal with melasma and hyperpigmentation, I always include brightening suppressors. I also focus on anti-aging (peptides), glow, hydration, barrier support and calming inflammation.
I’m also testing a firming and volumizing cream for the under eyes and neck. A lot of this routine is K-beauty and budget friendly skincare, and my skin has been looking really bright lately. I’ve been loving this stack.

Order I use them:
Cleanser
Toner / essence
Brightening treatments
Azelaic acid
PDRN
Growth factors / peptides
Volumizing treatment (eye area only)
Moisturizer
SPF

#LTKselfcare #LTKgrwm #LTKBeauty

I finally got the pink Booster Pro and it was so fun to try… it’s literally been sitting in my cart for like 7 months 💗
So I decided to do a little all pink collagen PDRN skincare routine for a girly night. The Booster Pro helps enhance absorption so your skincare can penetrate better and work more effectively.
Medicube is one of those brands that’s super cute but actually really good skincare.

#LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty #LTKgrwm

I had to try the Rhode glazing milk + Armani foundation combo and it did not disappoint. Added some new makeup and SPF I’ve been testing and everything just melted together for the prettiest glow ✨

A dermatologist once told me the most forgotten spot for SPF is the lips. They don't have the same natural protection as the rest of our face, so it's important to protect them.
SPF glosses, oils and lipsticks are actually pretty now, and I layer them over my regular lip color all the time.

*Lipliner is Subculture
1. Colorescience - Rose
2. Cay Skin - Clear
3. Naked Sundays - Clear

#LTKmorningroutine #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

Protect your investment and give your skin what it actually needs. Here’s what I focus on post treatment.
✔️ Lay off actives and retinols
✔️ No exfoliating
✔️ Do not pick or peel shedding skin
✔️ Stay out of direct sun and wear SPF
✔️ Avoid excess heat, sweating, saunas or jacuzzis depending on the treatment
✔️ Prioritize barrier repair and hydration
Once you’re past that initial 24 hour window and your skin is starting to calm, that’s when I introduce something like epii_global Double Up Cream to help hydrate, support and protect while healing.
