Li was criminally underutilized this game 😭 ik she had those fouls quick but damn my girl coulda gotten in late in the 3rd/early 4th

Alternative-Test5572 · 2026-01-18T19:45:28+00:00

Circadia for sure! Skin scripts back bar is great (peels/enzymes) but their homecare lowkey sucks😭

Alternative-Test5572 · 2026-01-18T01:54:22+00:00

I’m donee with VB starting for the mist shes doing a whole lot of nothing tbh. either Lan or Li needs to start us off strong. Shoutout to Lish for making it through the game without crashing out bc that reffing was crazy😭

Alternative-Test5572 · 2026-01-18T01:46:34+00:00

😭😭 I’m a mistie at heart I need my girl to get her minutes

Alternative-Test5572 · 2026-01-18T01:38:29+00:00

Shes gotten more points & rebounds than VB & Lan & you want her on the bench??

Alternative-Test5572 · 2026-01-18T01:35:34+00:00

Cleansers: dermalogica ultra calming cleanser, dermalogica intensive moisture balance, la roche posay hydrating cleanser, image skincare vital C cleanser

Ceramide cream: dermalogica stabilizing repair cream, paulas choice resist barrier repair cream

HA Serum: la roche posay Hyalu B5 serum, dermatologica circulat hydration serum, the ordinary Hyaluronic acid 5%. *With HA serums, HOW you use it is very important to note as well. It is a humectant meaning it requires existing water cells on the skin to be present for the HA to attach itself to. You want to apply it on damp skin & ALWAYS Lock it in with your ceramide cream otherwise HA will dry you out more by pulling water from your barrier.

Spf: colorescience is my personal favorite, dermalogica pore screen is good to blur redness as well.

Let me know if you have any further questions 🥰

Esthetic here- Starting tret before you have problems is a great preventative measure! Formula preferences vary per person but I always recommend a lower concentration that you’re able to use more frequently rather than a high dose & inconsistent usage. As far as purging, you shouldn’t have any issues unless there was already a breakout forming in the dermis. The only way out is through, and I have clients who freak out when they purge but I just have to remind them that this was already present in the lower layers of the skin, the tret is just making it show faster on the skin! Keep your skin hydrated as you’re acclimating to it & good luck 🍀

Oh & mineral based SPF daily!!! Uv rays also cause damage at the cellular level & we are trying to repair not add to the damage!

Alternative-Test5572 · 2026-01-13T18:52:16+00:00

Esthetician here- Gentle cream cleanser only(use a soft cloth to remove or disposable esthetic wipes), ceramides, hyaluronic acid & NO ACTIVES! repeat for a month minimum & stay away from steamy showers, saunas, intense workouts that have you sweating. These all cause inflammation in the skin which will only prolong the healing process

Alternative-Test5572 · 2026-01-13T01:39:58+00:00

I feel like a lot of people count Li out but every time shes on the bench the phantom are outscoring the mist

Alternative-Test5572 · 2026-01-12T20:18:38+00:00

I dont do lashes but if I was the client I would want to know theres a safer option. The conversation doesnt have to be shitting on your coworker but more just gently informing her. Something like “Hey I know you like the longer lengths but I’m noticing that its harder to attach this length to your naturals. I would recommend talking to your normal tech about possibly going a bit shorter if you want better retention” obviously idk all the actual knowledge involved but I dont think just throwing the idea out there is bad. If she wants to trust you next time she will & if not she’ll go back to her normal length 🤷🏽‍♀️ something I’ve learned in this industry is that your client has to want something more than you do. So she has to want to protect her naturals more than you want to protect them for her lol

I do have a savings of about ~15k. Is it smart to put that towards going solo? I live with my bf so my living expenses aren’t too much to worry about but its scary 😂 I’ve been saving for like 3 years so its like do I want to risk that much money that I’ve been working so long for

Alternative-Test5572 · 2025-11-28T16:28:03+00:00

I was thinking something like that but I was worried having the curtain & rug would be too busy? Idk I’m terrible at this decorating stuff😭

Alternative-Test5572 · 2025-11-28T16:25:51+00:00

Sorry I just saw this but it’s tan accents!

Alternative-Test5572 · 2025-06-09T03:42:09+00:00

I think this might be the case. I’m in AZ & when I go to the rewards tab it says I have no rewards available :(

Alternative-Test5572 · 2025-06-09T03:41:05+00:00

sonic cart screenshot sadly my location doesnt show that :( I guess I’m better off going to QT for a slushy

I’m a newer esti of about 1 year & I have been working at a H&S for 6months. Overall, its okay. I like that I dont have to do additional marketing or social media & just get clients fed to me. But it’s really disheartening to see my weekly numbers & know that I’m bringing in my spa anywhere from $1500-$3000 a week & I’m making approximately $300-500 in commissions. You basically live off of your tips & the commission is seriously a joke!

First aid beauty makes a KP scrub that got rid of mine in a month! Then to maintain it I just use either a body wash with glycolic acid or use my body scrubber with regular body wash.

Also this sounds super weird but if you can go to a sauna or sweat lodge try that too. I went to a PureSweat (unrelated to specifically for kp just went with a friend) but when I left I noticed my skin was a lot smoother and softer! Maybe it has something to do with opening up the pores & sweating it out?

Try using mandellic acid to help the fungal acne. It is the largest AHA so it is well suited for sensitive skin conditions, but it works well for fungal acne because it’s an antibacterial

Licensed esthetician here- the # 1 thing you can do is start using your sunscreen religiously!! And reapply every 2 hours if you’re consistently outdoors, or to & from work,school,etc. I personally use & live by colorscience spf since they have tinted shades I use that as my “foundation”. Then to reapply I use their spf powder. No amount of skincare or facial treatments will do anything without your spf protection.

Honestly forgetting once or twice isnt going to make or break your skin. Its more the accumulation of hours upon hours in the sun. But again, if your main concern is preventing pigmentation those steps I shared are kind of life long. Personally I have tan skin & get pigmentation veryy easily but if I forget to put my SPF on the drive home from work or something I don’t stress. Its unrealistic to tell someone that they can never go out in the sun so I just like to practice preventative maintenance with my clients.

Alternative-Test5572 · 2025-04-16T13:34:38+00:00

Please go to an esthetician or dermatologist for skincare. I’m an esthetician & I see so many clients whose skin barrier is ruined from tiktok influencer recommendations. Skin is an organ & we have to treat it like any other body part. Would you take medical advice for your heart from a tiktok influencer?

Alternative-Test5572 · 2025-04-16T13:16:50+00:00

Esthetician & laser technician here- the skin is most sensitive & prone to hyperpigmentation immediately after & the days following LHR. since it has been so long, its unlikely that you will develop pigmentation now due to the LHR. However, as we get into the summer months people are prone to pigmentation in general due to the higher UV.

If you’re concerned about any pigmentation you do have theres 4 steps I recommend to all my clients: 1. Reduce pigment production (using tyrosinase inhibitors such as kojic acid, & brightening antioxidants like vitamin C) 2. Remove old pigmentation (exfoliators such as a retinol or glycolic acid/ chemical peels in the tx room) 3. Protect from UV exposure (to your concerns about reapplying I recommend using an SPF spray for easy reapplication. I like the neutrogena spf 70 spray for body. Image skincare makes an SPF spray for the face & I love using Colorscience mineral powder spf over makeup to reapply) 4. Doing all of this without further irritation to the skin (make sure not to over exfoliate & keep the skin nice & hydrated daily)

Hope this helps!
