This month’s blog goes beyond skin and body care and instead focuses on a recap of 2020, from the perspective of a business owner.

There are many words that can be chosen from when attempting to encapsulate the whirlwind 2020 was for business owners worldwide: survival; perseverance; loss; strength; stress; hardship; blessings; family; and, of course, my personal favorite… maskne. 

As for me, I can relate to them all. The word that rises above all of them, however? Reflection.

Non-invasive cosmetic solutions: undoubtedly one of the hottest topics of 2020 and, now, 2021! However, with so many fantastic options it begs the following question— when the options are microneedling vs. NanoFusion, which comes out on top? Which is better for your skin and your budget? What are the differences between them?

Today, I’ll be detailing why I, as a licensed esthetician, believe NanoFusion is the best option when it comes to downtime and long-term effectiveness of results… and why microneedling may be left in the dust this year!

Virtual spa services: one of the most fun, unique, and versatile ways to connect with friends and family during winter 2020!

As most people aren’t travelling to see loved ones for Christmas this year, Moonstone Skin & Body Care has dedicated its virtual spa services lineup to making this year’s winter memorable… while gifting your skin clinical-grade results, of course!

Today, I’m detailing the specifics of the exciting (and transformational!) virtual spa services you and your loved ones can pick from this season.

Struggling with post-summer hyperpigmentation this Fall? You’re far from alone! 

Affecting approximately five million people in the United States alone, hyperpigmentation commonly rears its stubborn head in the forms of:

Melasma: hormone-triggered hyperpigmentation on the stomach or face, typically caused by hormonal changes due to pregnancy.

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation: a side-effect of trauma to the skin or inflammation, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation often comes in the wake of acne, scarring, and some medications.

Sun spots: A.K.A “liver spots”, sun spots are the result of sun exposure over time and pop up frequently on the hands and face.

Here at Moonstone Skin & Body Care, I cannot recommend peels enough this Fall for safe and effective hyperpigmentation treatment— especially if you belong to one of the populations who are up to 40% more likely to have hyperpigmentation over your lifetime!

Whether you live here in Novato, California or elsewhere around the globe, keep reading to hear what Moonstone recommends (and doesn’t recommend) in terms of keeping your skin bright all autumn long!
