Congrats on outgrowing the products your friend swears by. 🤍

Every skin is different. Including yours.

What works beautifully for her might be too much for you, not enough for you, or just plain wrong for you. And that's not a failure. It's information.
After 22 years in the treatment room, here's what I know: the best routine isn't the trendiest one. It's the one built around your skin, your lifestyle, and your goals.

So let's stop guessing and start with what your skin actually needs.

Have you ever heard of the lipstick effect? 💄

It's the idea that when life asks a lot of us, women still reach for the little things that make them feel like themselves. Not the big splurge. The little luxury.

I know how full your schedules are, and a facial isn't always on the calendar every month. That's okay. Healthy skin doesn't only happen in my treatment room. It happens in the small, consistent things you do at home.

So I put together four limited-edition self-care sets with the same products I trust in my studio:

✨ The Glow Duo ($75): a Revitalizing and a Peptide Radiance mask for an at-home facial night
✨ Mask Week ($175): five masks, made for a girls' night in
✨ The Glow Recovery Set ($195): my Glow Recovery Serum plus two masks
✨ The Love Your Skin Forever Set ($385): a complete at-home routine

They make a beautiful gift too, for her or for you.

🎁 Order online and pick up at the studio in Old Town Scottsdale
💳 Pay in 4 available with PayPal

Read all about each set and shop here 👉 https://www.beautybyalicia.guru/post/a-little-goes-a-long-way-my-self-care-sets-for-glowing-skin-at-home

Quantities are limited since I build each set by hand. 💕

A little goes a long way. Healthy skin is a journey, not a quick fix.

Four at-home self-care sets with the same products I trust in my studio. For the time between appointments, a girls' night in, or a thoughtful gift.

Love your retinol? Your barrier needs love too. 💗

Retinol is one of my favorite ingredients for cellular turnover, fine lines, and smoother texture. But here in Arizona, all that sunshine already makes our skin more sensitive. Overdo your retinol on top of it, and your skin's barrier starts paying the price. ☀️

Retinol should be part of your routine, not your whole routine.

That's where my XO8 duo comes in:
✨ Revitalizing Elixir — supports collagen while brightening and refining tone and texture
✨ Vital Restorative Elixir — snail essence, probiotics, and peptides to nourish, protect, and rebuild your barrier

Balance is what preserves your skin for the long haul. Use your retinol, support your barrier, wear your sunscreen every day, and listen when your skin asks for a break.

Comment BARRIER and I'll send you the details on this duo. 👇

Healthy skin is a journey, not a quick fix. Love your skin forever. 🤍

Fall is peel season — I tried a 6-day facial peel and documented every stage from rosy Day 1 to the fresh Day 6 reveal. Want the real timeline, tips for aftercare, and what to expect? Read the full day-by-day breakdown on the blog. https://wix.to/FzfeqRb

The trees are shedding, and your skin can too. I did a peel on myself and took a photo every day, from rosy Day 1 to the Day 6 reveal.

🩷 Whipped Sugar Pink Tint

Your lips have some of the thinnest skin on your face, and they deserve care just like the rest of it. Color and treatment in one swipe? Yes please.
Every face tells a different story, so every lip gets a different shade. Comment LIPS and I'll help you find yours, or stop by the studio and try Mauve on. 💗

Congrats on being nervous about your first facial. 🤍

It means you care about doing right by your skin.
After 22 years in the treatment room, I can tell you that nearly everyone is a little nervous before their first time. Will it hurt? Will she judge my skin? Do I even know what to say?

You don't need to know anything. You just need to show up. My job is to listen, explain every step, and build a plan that fits your skin, not your favorite influencer's.

Your first facial isn't a big leap. It's a conversation.
Ready to have it? Comment FIRST and I'll send you everything you need to know before you book. 💫

Let's talk peels. ✨

A peel isn't about how much you flake. It's about giving your skin the right amount of stimulation so it can do what it already knows how to do: shed what's dull and tired, and bring fresh, healthy skin forward.
Some people peel a lot. Some barely peel at all. Both are normal, and neither one tells you whether it worked. That's why every peel I do starts with a conversation about your skin, your goals, and what your skin can handle today.

Want to see a peel in real life? I did one on myself this week. Go watch my latest Reel for the day-by-day. 👀

Peel Season, start to finish. 🍂
I did this peel on myself first so you could see the whole thing. No filters, no skipped days. Here's what really happens:
Day 1: Rosy, tight, glowy. The calm before the shed.
Day 2: Still tight and pink. Right on track.
Day 3: The flaking starts around the mouth and chin.
Day 4: Peak peel. Cheeks, chin, forehead. Hands OFF.
Day 5: The flakes clear out and fresh skin comes through.
Day 6: The reveal. ✨
A peel isn't about how dramatically you shed. It's about giving your skin the right amount of stimulation so it can do what it does best, which is renew itself. Some people flake a lot, some barely at all, and both are normal. Every face tells a different story, which is why I customize every peel to your skin on that day.
The rules I live by while peeling: hydrate, wear SPF every single day, and let it fall off on its own. No picking!
Thinking about your own Peel Season? Comment or DM me PEEL and we'll talk through what your skin needs.
Healthy skin is a journey, not a quick fix. 🤍
