About

My mission is to support long-term skin health through personalized, results-driven care in a space that invites rest and restoration.

Anna’s background spans education program management and beauty industry marketing. Before becoming a licensed esthetician, she worked closely with beauty and skincare brands  (including Alastin Skincare, Face Reality Skincare, Epionce, and more), managing strategy and client accounts. Her time in the industry sparked a deeper curiosity about skin science and inspired her to pursue formal esthetics training.

Now, Anna blends her knowledge of clinical skincare with a hands-on, client-centered approach to help others improve their skin health and make space for self-care.

Resources I Trust

Skincare is personal and navigating product labels can be overwhelming. Below are a few tools I regularly use to check for pore-clogging ingredients and sunscreen safety. While helpful, these are just starting points. Ingredient lists don’t always tell the whole story, and how your skin reacts depends on factors like formulation, concentration, and your individual sensitivities.

  • I use the following sites to cross-check products for potentially comedogenic ingredients (those more likely to clog pores). That said, take the results with a grain of salt. Not all “pore-clogging” ingredients cause breakouts for everyone, and an ingredient’s effect depends on its percentage and the overall formula.

  • Choosing sunscreen can be tricky. This guide from Dieux Skin helps assess SPF filters, texture, and safety considerations in an easy-to-understand format.
