Today I’m chatting with Heather Happy, not only a licensed esthetician but counted within the top 5% of Estheticians in the nation. She takes a science-based approach and makes skincare simple which is just one of the reasons I really loved speaking with her. Plus, she’s very honest so this is a BS-free zone which, as you know, is my happy place.

We cover everything from lasers to mature skin type myths, why medical-grade skincare matters to the most important ingredients to consider in your products, we also take a peek at Heather’s personal routine and the treatments she swears by.

This has to be one of the most informative and easy conversations I’ve had covering skincare. I can’t wait for you to hear it- so without further ado, here’s Heather!

• If you, like me, never thought lasers were for you, this could be fascinating.
• Heather shares why mature skin doesn’t equate to dry skin & cuts through other skincare myths while she’s at it
