Tackling Katie's Acne Scars and Surface Dehydration

[@dominiqueoutlaw4839]

I'm so HAPPY for Katie! As a client, it was so validating to hear Katie's feelings about starting on a new regimen and that you were sensitive to that as her estie. Her story is so close to mine (even growing up in South FL)! As long as I had fewer pimples, I got comfortable with "good enough." But after a recent unexpected breakout, I was searching for answers and found this channel. Nerida's detailed explanations made me a believer. I took the plunge and took her advice and changed my homecare regimen. It was scary to think of layering products. My first time ever using a serum!! In just a month, I've seen significant improvement. (Plus at least 5 blackheads have popped out on their own!) I've still got a ways to go but I'm so excited. And as an encouragement to Katie - I now use my skin care regimen time as a therapeutic "me time" to start and end the day. It'll get fun! Nerida, thanks so much for this knowledge AND access to you!! 🤗

Hi Nerids I enjoy listening to your videos can u please talk about homecare products that u would prescribe ur clients n what would they use morning n evening

[@kateriewing]

Hi Nerida. I love these videos so much. If I could start another career right now in my sixties, I would become an aesthetician and learn from you. I have learned so much about caring for my skin, just by watching your videos. My question is about the disposable sponges. I bought some for travel, as I can be reactive to the strong chemicals /fragrance they use to wash hotel linens. The ones I bought claimed to be very soft...wow, they are not soft at all. Do you have a brand you recommend? Thank you so much! (Using a non-foaming cleanser has been the best change ofr my skin. Wow.)

[@christinetarin4629]

When oil gets trapped under the skin … please elaborate … zapped. Is it using an electrical wave to the skin? Thank you for an educational video.

Thank you for another great video! I have texture and surface dryness on my forehead. Should I stop using retinol on my forehead? I use it 4 times a week. Btw, I’m NOT using a foaming cleanser or a prescription retinol. And, the flavonoid Complex is part of my regimen.

[@devon.pfeifer]

mdpeach something isn’t right. And what do you mean by texture?

[@mdpeach]

Devon Pfeifer I have some really small bumps. They remind me of heat bumps.

[@devon.pfeifer]

mdpeach try the p normalizing cream for open acne every morning, and the exfoliating mask 2-3 times a week, if they are tiny little papules... what do you mean by heat bumps?

[@mariamouni9855]

Devon Pfeifer I also have the same issue. I have many small bumps all over my forehead even tho I use all the products recommended by Nerida. I use the Q flavonoid and the Aha serum but neither has helped..

[@devon.pfeifer]

Mariam Ouni are you cleansing properly? Are you using the right cleanser? Also, the flavonoid complex is not for addressing the actual acne itself. It is to soften the skin, reduce skin irritation and help heal the skin, whether it be erythema or hyperpigmentation, or inflammation. Before you use it regularly, you need to get the pore clean. Get the normalizing cream for open acne-this has urea peroxide to help kill bacteria, and clean the pore... this will help tiny papules. You can use it as a spot treatment or to address specific areas, and layer it over the aha serum. However it may be best for you to see someone for some extractions, so you can get the pores cleaned out, and then begin using these products. Once the pores are clean, and the skin is start to heal after a few weeks, THEN you can really use the flavonoid on a regular basis. Also, you might want to look into your diet and see if a candida diet might help your forehead... tiny papules on the forehead sometimes are an indication of candida.

[@jilleller533]

I have a client with same hardened sebum bumps on forehead -you mentioned getting “zapped” Assume would refer to a Derm for this ? If so, what specific procedure would I recommend for her ? Laser or?

[@polovinka2]

Jill Eller these are called sebaceous hyperplasia and usually treated by dermatologists. I believe they use laser treatments for that.

[@devon.pfeifer]

Depending on your state regulations, this will depend. In my state, estheticians can use a device called a lamprobe, or skin classic...there are many similar machines out there that treat this. This is not something that affects the dermal layers, it is strictly considered working on the epidermis, but I’m sure there is debate on this.

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

[@IzzyGemma]

Hi again! I was wondering your opinion on derma-planing? I do it to my clients in the treatment room but I was curious your opinion if you think it’s healthy for the skin, if it’s good for scaring (like this client here in the video) and the ongoing benefits of not having facial hair for the serums to be able to penetrate better once they are back at home with their home care. Xoxo ❤️

[@NeridaJoySkincare]

I have spoken about this before ..... its a personal thing. Yes it exfoliates and therefore has a way of getting into the skin faster without the hair. But, that is why I preach to massage your EVERYTHING in circular movements to get under there fine facial hair. I do not have derma planning done myself. But, as I said it is a personal thing...hair also acts as a protection:))

You mention a "healing" gel - which Rejuvi product is that? And is the retinol serum you put on Katie's face the Rejuvi 'a ' Retinyl Serum? I'm 63 with sagging, dehydrated skin, and surface dryness : what are the most important products I should be using? I love watching your videos - many thanks.

[@devon.pfeifer]

Virginia, the product is called the skin healing gel. If you wanted to use something like that, I would recommend you use the Rejuvi Plus Natural Soothing Gel... I would say you can use it on anyone, but it has more weight to it, and is a little thicker than the healing gel, which would be better for a more dehydrated mature skin. It just helps to work both as a good humectant to lock in hydration, but also a layer to help buffer treatment serums like alpha hydroxy acids, and vitamin A products you might put on top. As far as the product she’s applying on Katie, it’s called the retinoid formula, which is a stronger vitamin A product used in treatment for professional use only. If you are dry, dehydrated, and sagging, I would probably have you on the Rejuvi Plus Gentle Purifying Emulsion as your cleanser, possibly the natural soothing gel, the flavonoid complex, the vital protection day cream as your daytime moisturizer, and the bio-refining cream as your night time treatment moisturizer, to start. And of course a sunblock. After about four weeks I might add on the A Night Gel, and possibly a vitamin C, and an eye product for sure.

[@polovinka2]

Devon Pfeifer hi. I am wondering why most products you are recommending from Rejuvi plus line?do you find it more effective,gentle?maybe more catered to mature clientele? or something else?thank you!

[@devon.pfeifer]

Kristina K while I haven’t used a lot of the products from the that part of Rejuvi, because not all of it is right for my own skin type, I think that they are more suited for a more drier, mature skin type. For example, she could probably also use the g AHA cream instead of the bio-refining, but I would go more with the bio-refining, because looking at the ingredient deck, it looks like the glycolic might be a little more buffered back than in the g AHA cream. In general, for pretty much everyone, I’m in the camp of not going too strong too quickly-I would prefer either products to be buffered back to a lower strength to use on a daily basis OR if there is a very strong product, I would like the option of being able to buffer it back by layering other things underneath, or mixed in... for everyone, but especially so, with a drier mature skin type, where the skin is likely to be thinner, and possibly more susceptible to irritation and disrupting the skin barrier too much to where you can’t do anything if you go too strong. Hope this makes sense.

[@Ginpad]

@@devon.pfeifer Thank you very much for your response. I really appreciate it & I'll follow your advice.

From what age should we start using retinol? Should we still exfoliate while using retinol?

[@devon.pfeifer]

Ganavi N... it really depends on the brand. Most brands will say mid to late 20s... but it really depends on the condition of the skin and how the retinol can help to be honest. It is a long answer... You can exfoliate while using retinol, if you are not using retinol every single day, and if your skin can tolerate it. If I am doing a mini-treatment on myself, I will exfoliate just to buff the skin back, so the vitamin A, or any other treatment product, can penetrate better. Not all Vitamin A is the same in how it is formulated and affects the skin.
