The One Product I’ll Never Skip: Alastin Restorative Skin Complex™

If you’ve ever asked me, “What’s the one product I should invest in?” — this is it. Alastin’s Restorative Skin Complex is my holy grail. It’s the one product I never skip, no matter what else I’m testing or layering. Why? Because it works on everything: fine lines, wrinkles, tone, texture, and even that dull, tired look your skin gets when it’s stressed or just... blah.

The secret sauce? TriHex Technology®—Alastin’s patented blend of peptides that clears out old, damaged collagen and elastin while helping your skin rebuild new, healthy fibers. Think of it as hitting “refresh” on your skin’s structure. Over time, it visibly firms, smooths, and brightens while deeply hydrating and supporting your skin barrier (especially important post-treatment or during perimenopause!).

It’s also loaded with antioxidants to protect against environmental damage and keep inflammation in check—all without causing irritation. It’s gentle enough for post-facial skin, yet powerful enough to make real change. If your skincare routine feels “meh” lately or your skin’s not bouncing back like it used to, this is the product that changes everything.

If you’re only going to splurge on one thing—make it this. #skintips #estheticianlife #estheticiantips #831 #alastinskin #hydrafacial #skincare

Let’s chat about enzymes.

If your skin has been feeling dull, rough, or a little “stuck,” it might be time to switch to enzymes. These gentle overachievers dissolve dead skin cells without irritation, giving you that smooth, bright, fresh-faced glow.

Here are a few of my favorites:
Bromelain for congestion
Pumpkin for radiance
Mango for hydration
Papain for smoothing
Keratinase for rough patches
Protease and Lipase for gentle, barrier-friendly exfoliation

Enzyme facials are perfect if your skin is sensitive, compromised, or post-treatment. They give you results you can see without the downtime of a chemical peel.

Want my full breakdown of each enzyme and how they work? Read today’s new Post Treatment article and let me know your skin type in the comments. I’ll help you choose the right enzyme for your routine.

If your worried about acne scars or post inflammatory marks (the flat red spot leftover after a breakout) this duo will
HELP you. Apply Plated Intense right after washing your face. Allow to fully absorb and apply the Epicutis Arctigenin serum. If you’re dry or dry/combo follow with more hydration. If you are combo or oily this is probably enough moisture. SPF for daytime for all skin

Sharing the skincare and haircare products I completely finished this month — and which ones earned a repurchase. I emptied: Clinical Skin Polypeptide Firming Serum, Kérastase 8H Magic Night Serum, Jan Marini Luminate Face Mask, Caudalie Vinopure Purifying Gel Cleanser, Augustinus Bader The Hand Treatment, Kerstin Florian Chamomile Bath & Shower Gel, K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Mask, Chantecaille Bio Lifting Mask, and Earth Tu Face CA Tierra Mist.
Some were instant loves (hello, Clinical Skin + Marini glow), some were nostalgic (Kerstin Florian forever), and others were good but not for me. Perfect for anyone looking for real reviews, esthetician-tested empties, and honest repurchase recommendations.

5 Reasons to Love Blue Light LED for Your Skin
1. It helps keep breakouts in check. Blue light goes straight to the source targeting acne-causing bacteria, calming active breakouts, and helping prevent new ones before they start.
2. It soothes and refreshes. Beyond the glow, blue light has a naturally calming effect that helps reduce redness and irritation for skin that feels balanced and happy.
3. It supports healing and clarity. By restoring balance and easing inflammation, blue light encourages a clearer, more even complexion over time.
4. It pairs beautifully with other treatments. Whether added to your facial or used on its own, blue light enhances results without irritation.
5. No downtime, no drama. Gentle, non-invasive, and totally pain-free this treatment fits right into your skincare routine with zero recovery time.

Add it to your next facial.

What Can Niacinamide Help With? Oh, Just Everything:
✨ Large pores: She’s got your back. Niacinamide helps regulate oil production and improve elasticity, which can visibly minimize pores.
✨ Redness + irritation: Its anti-inflammatory superpowers make it great for calming down the skin—perfect for those of us with sensitive skin or rosacea vibes.
✨ Dullness + uneven tone: It slows the transfer of pigment to the skin’s surface, making it amazing for fading dark spots, brightening skin, and giving you that lit-from-within glow. (This is your “Bejeweled” moment.)
✨ Dryness + dehydration: Niacinamide supports your skin barrier so it can hold onto moisture better. Hello, soft and bouncy skin.
✨ Fine lines: Hydrated skin = plumper skin. Niacinamide also encourages collagen production, making it a solid choice for keeping your complexion firm and smooth.
