    A Natural Difference

    To create a new formulation, is like creating an orchestra. You need to select the right instruments for the best sound and vibrations and a conductor who knows how to place them. We need the delicate sound of a violin, the deep sound of the drums and trumpets for their powerful beat and sound. The same applies in a formulation. By only selecting synergistically working ingredients, it will work for the most sensitive and compromised to the strongest stubborn breakouts.

    Advanced Aging or Melasma needs the power of the drums and trumpets, where delicate and sensitive skin needs the string orchestra.

    To create a new formulation, is like creating an orchestra. You need to select the right instruments for the best sound and vibrations and a conductor who knows how to place them. We need the delicate sound of a violin, the deep sound of the drums and trumpets for their powerful beat and sound. The same applies in a formulation. By only selecting synergistically working ingredients, it will work for the most sensitive and compromised to the strongest stubborn breakouts.

  • We all remember that scene in The Devil Wears Prada where Miranda Priestly (played by Meryl Streep) breaks down how Andrea Sachs’ (Anne Hathaway) ugly blue sweater is actually the result of a trend sparked on the runway in couture fashion. But what about skin care trends? Where do they start? How do they grow legs? In this episode of ASCP Esty Talk, we take a close look at a growing controversial skin trend: beef tallow. Is it comedogenic? Is it good for the skin? It’s definitely not vegan! Listen in and hear Ella and Maggie try to understand the hype of a beef fat facial crème.

    Arriving to Arizona in 2010, Tina selected Southwest Institute of Natural Aesthetics to begin her journey in professional skin care and well-being. Over the next several years, she mastered full body massage, reiki, and esthetics, and became an educator in these modalities.
