You know all of those memes that have been really popular lately?…⁠…The ones that poke fun at how all of us are going to turn into the not-really-ombre hair root troll, with over-grown cuticles, and (not-so-sweet) cherub looking rolls? 🤨⁠ ⁠

Well, let’s just say that while I might not actually look like that right now, I most certainly have been feeling like that. Because I’ve been home and not getting my normal aesthetic treatments, I decided to invest in a few new beauty practices. They’ve helped me feel a little more normal, and my boys haven’t been cringing as much when they wake up in the morning to see my smiling face. ⁠ ⁠

I thought I would share a few of my new practices with you, just in case you need a little pick me up too.⁠ ⁠

Silk pillow cases– I feel very “extra” using these little luxuries, but if it’s going to prevent wrinkles while I am sleeping, count me in! ⁠ ⁠

Jade roller– So, you do need to be a bit gentle with these and not use them every day, but they are great to help reduce submental fullness (aka double chin) and do some self-lymphatic drainage massage.⁠ ⁠

At-home treatments– I usually save masks for in-office, but since living in quarantine for sooooooo long, I’ve gotten in the habit of self-applying my hydrating and CO2 masks at home.⁠ ⁠

Hydration– Admittedly my water consumption has not been ideal lately. I found that too often I was reaching for another cup of caffeinated tea (or glass of wine in the evenings). So, I decided to change my ways, and I began filling up a big pitcher of water every day and committing to drinking it by the time I go to bed. Hydration is SO important for skin health and I want clear, plump skin!⁠ ⁠

While I am enjoying my newfound beauty routines, I can’t wait for quarantine to end here in Michigan. I do appreciate the ability to practice self-care, but I am eager to visit my fave medical spa soon!⁠ ⁠

What are your at-home aesthetic practices right now?⁠
