What is your favorite treatment? 100%, microneedling! I don’t even think I could live without it now. As obsessed as I am with makeup, I know the importance of skincare.

What is your favorite treatment? It’s a super close tie between hydrafacials and microneedling! The two together are a combo written by goddesses themselves. I’ve always struggled with pore congestion and huge pores due to genetics. Hydrafacials leave me with an angelic glow on the go and microneedling has changed my life FOREVER. The texture of my skin improved dramatically, and my acne scars and large pores are making their way out of my life.
