Vol. 1
It's a new dawn, it’s a new day…
It’s a… blog!
I’ve been dreaming of doing this for awhile—sharing the inside scoop on how to glow inside and out. The truth is, we’re living in whirlwind of skincare advice—TikTok, Instagram, buzzy headlines—it’s tough to know where to turn. But good skin isn’t a trend, good skin is knowing YOUR skin, and the ways to work with it. How to hydrate it, brighten it, keep it healthy, and happy.
As we kick off 2025, I’ve decided to distill all my learnings—from achieving the healthiest dewiest décolleté to the miracle products I stand by and those you can toss aside (ahem, foaming cleansers).
Enter: The Glow Notes, my monthly newsletter with tips straight from the esthetician’s chair. Today’s topic: how to send your skin to hydration rehab. Read on to reclaim your skin’s healthy, dewy, hydrated status!

Hydration Rehab
You’ve heard me say it time and time again, “Hydration is key”.
It’s that straightforward: good skin can’t exist without proper hydration.
A few hydration pleas: abandon those jelly and foaming cleansers, don’t skip the hydrating serums, and finish it all off with a creamy moisturizer to lock it in.
Hydrated skin routine below:
1. When Cleansing, Keep It Gentle
If your face feels tight and squeaky clean after cleansing, you need to switch cleansers. Opt for a milky or oil-based cleanser that will clean your skin without stripping it bare. I love all of the Biologique Recherche cleansers, they’re super milky yet still clean the skin.

2. Hydration Heroes: Serums & Mists
Post-cleanse, immediately apply a lightweight hydrating serum or toner before anything else. We want the products in this step to penetrate your skin and deliver hydration ASAP.
