To Dew & Go, or Not to Dew

What kind of question is that? Of course I will say To DEW & GO.

 It only took  being quarantined for me to finally bring out the Dew & Go, don’t ask me why I took so long!

What is it. It’s a microdroplet microneedling-stamper that infuses the skin with serum. The do it at home Ritual Kit comes with a set of 4 skin hydration ampoules (Skin Brew – snail mucin + moringa leaf). Snail mucin has HA + glycolic acid and the moringa leaf is a superantioxidant common in Filipino beauty treatments as well as remedies, a nod to the founder’s heritage. You can find it at TheThingsWeDo.

The Founder, world-renowned medical aesthetic provider is Vanessa Lee, RN who I am a HUGE fan of not only for her medical aesthetic talents, but for her genuine dedication and contribution to the specialty as well as her super funny and cool sense of humor on her Instagram. Before I started in my career trajectory, I read her blogs and followed her to be constantly inspired, motivated, and enlightened. It’s truly been insightful to see someone that leads with so much vitality and genuineness.

Directions to help you get started:

⭐ Make sure to thoroughly cleanse your face and hands prior

⭐ Twist open the chamber, fill it up with 1 ampoule of Skin Brew. Leave upside down for 2 minutes

⭐ March along and stamp across your face with a 50% overlap

⭐ After the 1st pass, I dispersed the skin brew on my face and went off to do 2-3 passes total on each area. You can focus more on areas you want to plump and have collagen production such as under eyes, perioral region, nasolabial folds, and even neck & chest!

⭐ Let the skin brew absorb into skin and do not rinse off until the next morning

 

The treatment was a bit spicy, but definitely manageable. I had slight “sunburn glow” afterwards which cooled down quickly. Very minimal downtime, but of course you absolutely do NOT want to be outdoors with your skin unprotected.

After-glow: I love it! I looked glowy, hydrated, and DEWY right away. My skin was feeling tighter as well.

Who am I, and Why am I blogging

Hello Lovelies,

 

Welcome to my first post, which will be a little intro to what may come.

Life is about discovering your journey and where you aspire to venture to, it’s a continuous evolution. This blog may be that adventure.

 

Being in quarantine since March 2020 has allowed me to seek ways to progress in innovative ways that were not necessarily the norm pre-Covid. I’ve realized that the experts in my speciality are so willing and passionate to educate. The world of aesthetics actually loves to showcase their expertise, in hopes that we can all discover a more natural beauty while being safe. It’s been eye-opening and brain-lickingly amazing. I’m in awe of how much camaraderie there can be in the medical aesthetics world and I am all here for it!

Who am I? I am an Aesthetic Registered Nurse at a multi-specialty plastic surgery-dermatology office. I feel very fortunate to be a part of a team that has the best of both worlds in the medical aesthetic specialty! Before I started working here, if you asked me what my dream job was, I would not have been able to describe to you what I actually am doing. I also realize that this is a coveted career, and maybe one day I can help someone, just as others have when they wrote their own journeys and taught the knowledge they have acquired.

A little bit more about me. I’m a true introvert, but sometimes I’m a social one.

Pre-Covid hobbies: hiking but mostly especially to waterfalls, kickboxing, Rumble boxing, traveling, eating and being a foodie.

Current-Covid hobbies: watching instagram lives and studying modules, listening to podcasts while playing animal crossing, attempting to bake, and applying skincare and watching ASMR skincare videos.

 

Why am I starting this blog. I am by no means an expert nor master at my craft, yet. I’ve been in this amazing niche for almost 3 years now and have learned so much while still constantly absorbing even more. 

But truly, when can you self-proclaim as an expert when trends are changing, techniques are evolving, and technology is advancing? I believe we will always be students, as well as advocates and educators.

 

I know that medical aesthetics is my hobby and life-long passion project. My ideology is to always embrace and enhance natural beauty as well as bring out the confidence from within. I aim to stay up to date with non-surgical rejuvenation with evidence-based practices.

And you can learn along with me by joining me on this project inner and outer beauty 🙂
