Exfoliation is one of the most important techniques that you can perform on your skin.  It can resolve breakouts, clogged pores, dry skin, sun damage and soften fine lines.  By removing  the dull look, built up layers of dead skin and increasing  the skins ability to heal. There are two types of exfoliants. First, a “chemical” or “acid, made most often from AHA’s and Fruit Enzymes, designed to dissolve the dry skin cells. You apply it, leave it on the skin and it does the work for you. Second, a “physical” exfoliant means you do the work,  gently massaging  the skin with a facial scrub. I recommend a combination of both physical and chemical exfoliants  for  the best results. Start exfoliating today and get your glow back!  Written by Julianne Bacialli, Licensed Eshetician.

Did you know that 85% of people battle acne at one point or another in their lives? Acne is an inherited disorder, where the pores shed dead skin cells at a much faster rate than normal pores. As a result, the dead skin builds up blocking  the pore and allowing the growth of bacteria. Antibiotics can stop the growth of bacteria,  but they do not offer a long term solution.  Learning how to care for your skin by using  products for your specific condition will provide the best long term results.  Most clients see changes immediately  and  become completely clear  in 90 days.  As a skin care professional one of the  most  rewarding  parts of my job  is observing  my clients using less and less makeup .  I love to watch the skin transform and  see the renewed confidence that follows.

“After struggling to keep my skin clear for months, I was relieved to find Julianne at Aroma Essence Skincare.  Not only did she make me feel confident that we could clear up my skin, but she also provided me with a skin care plan that was manageable, affordable and effective.

As a professional esthetician, I often hear this common question from my clients: What is the difference between a “professional” skin care cosmeceutical vs. a brand you can find “over-the-counter” at a drug or department store? Over –the- counter products do not contain the same amount of active ingredients as cosmeceuticals…they aren’t allowed to!  Because many consumers “self-diagnose” when choosing a skin care product to try from  a drug or department store, these products must be made safely, meaning, big cosmetic companies would have masses of consumers with issues from the improper use of  very active ingredients.   Cosmeceuticals are a medical grade cosmetic, they contain the higher amounts of active ingredients. Professionally recommended in a consultation and sold by a licensed esthetician, physician or other educated skin care professional.

The biggest difference between over-the-counter and cosmeceutical skincare is not only the active ingredients and their amounts, but the level of penetration into the skin.  Medical grade products have the ability to penetrate the  top layer of skin, hitting the lower layer of skin where collagen and pigmentation lay as well as where our new skin cells are produced. Since the loss of collagen ages us and the increased pigmentation results in brown spots,  using the proper active ingredients can improve and promote changes in the skin that over-the-counter products do not.
