Trophy Skin Facial; Vince Camuto Faux Leather Military Jacket

The year was 1997 when menopause reared its ugly head on my face with adult acne.  20-Years later, my monthly facials limit breakouts and soften my aging skin. Fast forward to just last month, my new beauty secret:  the Trophy Skin Facial.

After confirming my declining estrogen levels,  my OB/GYN recommended a dermatologist for acne eruptions. The Derm office is where I learned about the services of an aesthetician to combat my skin eruptions.  Of course, I needed to ask questions about performing advanced facials for my skin color.
Reassured that I was not the first African American to seek help for adult acne. Nor the initial client concern for the suggested Microdermabrasion treatment.

Microdermabrasion works best for superficial skin imperfections such as fine lines and wrinkles. I remember hearing my oily skin say thank you for relief from large pores and blackheads. Remember that these facials are all non-surgical remedies that help refresh your look with no downtime.

I adopted the quote, “Invest In Your Skin. It Is Going to Represent You For A Very Long Time.”  I advanced to chemical peels to help my acne scars. Both the Microderm and peels are more aggressive ways to exfoliate the skin.  As you can see, many different peels benefit one’s skin.
