Bold statement graphic reading: Skincare from Target won’t get you clinic-level results. Real talk about professional skincare vs drugstore products.

Hey babe. Let’s have a little heart-to-heart about something that comes up all the time: home care. You know, the skincare you use outside of the treatment room when you’re not laying down in my cozy little slice of heaven getting pampered and plumped.

Here’s the tea—yes, I absolutely recommend home care. And no, it’s not because I’m trying to hit a sales quota (LOL, I’m self-employed, remember? Ain’t nobody breathing down my neck telling me to push product). It’s because I actually give a damn about your skin and want you to see real, lasting change.

I’ll tell you what I tell every patient who walks through my doors:


If you don’t have any major skin concerns and you’re just vibing with a cleanser and a moisturizer from Target? Cool. Seriously—you do you.


But if you’re coming to me wanting to clear acne, reverse sun damage, even out texture, or tighten and tone? Then sis… we’re going to need to go a little deeper than what’s on sale at Sephora. No shade, just truth.

We can work within your budget and skincare goals. Custom plans from a licensed esthetician.

The truth is, real change in your skin happens at home. Your skincare routine is the extension of your treatment plan. It’s the daily ritual that bridges the gap between appointments and builds momentum. And if you’re investing in professional treatments without using professional products? You’re basically filling a leaking bucket.

And listen, I get it—sometimes the product list can feel overwhelming or pricey. If you ever feel that way, please tell me. I’m not here to bulldoze your budget or stress you out. I’m here to build a plan that works with you and gets you where you want to go. I’ll always prioritize what’s most important and work in steps if we need to. That’s part of the process.

But what I won’t do? Water down my recommendations just to make a sale feel easier. That’s not who I am. I’ve built my reputation on real skin transformations—and those don’t happen by cutting corners. They happen with education, consistency, science-backed formulas, and yes…investment.

So next time I hand you a curated list of products, know this: I’m not selling you skincare. I’m giving you the tools. I’m giving you the strategy. I’m giving you the path to the skin you’ve been dreaming about.

You’re not just buying a cleanser—you’re buying confidence. You’re not just investing in a serum—you’re investing in you.

And I’m here for every step of that glow-up.

XO,
Your beauty alchemist
