Skin Concerns
Skin Concerns
Start with what
is bothering you
You do not need to know the name of the problem. You only need to describe it. Find the sentence below that sounds like yours.
"It is tight an hour after I moisturize, and it looks dull no matter what I use."
Dry & Dehydrated
Almost always dehydration rather than dryness, which is why richer creams have not fixed it. Skin is short on water, not oil, and the two need completely different things.
Dry & dehydrated skin"Everything stings. My face goes red and I cannot predict what will set it off."
Sensitive & Reactive
Usually a barrier that has been worn down, sometimes by the products bought to fix the sensitivity. The fix is nearly always doing less, in the right order, for long enough.
Sensitive & reactive skin"I am too old to be breaking out like this, and nothing I tried at fifteen works now."
Acne & Breakouts
Adult breakouts are rarely one thing. Hormones, a damaged barrier, and pore-clogging products usually stack together, which is why treating only one of them never quite works.
Acne & breakouts"I have brown patches that got worse over the summer and never fully faded."
Pigmentation & Dark Spots
Sun, hormones, or marks left behind by old breakouts, and the treatment differs depending which. Pigment is patient work, but it is genuinely fixable with the right sequence.
Pigmentation & dark spots"My jawline is softer than it was, and my skin does not bounce back the way it did."
Firmness & Fine Lines
Collagen and elastin decline steadily from the late twenties, and laxity shows along the jaw and neck first. This responds well to treatment, and it responds much better to consistency.
Firmness & fine lines"My skin changed completely and I did not change anything. Dry where I was oily, breaking out at fifty."
Menopause & Hormonal
Falling estrogen affects oil production, hydration, collagen, and healing all at once, which is why it feels like several problems arriving together. It is not your imagination and it is very treatable.
Menopause & hormonal skinA different kind of care
Skin during cancer treatment
Chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery change the skin in ways that most treatment rooms are not trained to handle, and being turned away, or worse, being treated by someone who should have said no, is something my clients have experienced elsewhere.
I am oncology certified. That means specific training in what is safe at each stage, and everything is adjusted: products, pressure, temperature, duration, and timing around your treatment schedule.
If more than one sounded like you
That is the normal case, not the complicated one. Most skin arriving here has two or three of these happening at once, and they interact. Dehydration makes fine lines look deeper. A worn barrier causes both breakouts and sensitivity. Hormonal change touches nearly everything on this page.
This is the point at which reading stops helping. Choosing between six concern pages when four of them describe you is not a decision you should have to make on your own, and getting it wrong usually means another six months and another shelf of products.
That is exactly what The Glow Edit is for.

One hour with me, virtual or in person. I go through everything you are using, tell you what is actually happening and why, and you leave with a written routine. $100 of your fee comes back toward The Boutique Glow Method if you decide to start it.
