Help me help you refresh your skin just in time for holiday festivities!
There is absolutely no judgement if you have been pulling all-nighters to get ahead of the holidays. I am merely proposing a "win-win" situation to prepare for this "season of giving."
To elaborate; the main topic at Thanksgiving events last week were the recent changes to the structure and content of my business. My aim is to grow the practice while allowing more flexibility in my schedule. I especially love teaching Art Literacy in Maya's classroom.
A step towards this goal is the revision and subsequent relaunch of my skincare line. "Skincare line?" you may be (correctly) asking. Yes! I've been creating and selling skin, hair and scalp treatments for several years.
You see, in 2006, while I was a graduate student at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, a car accident left me with glass-filled acne and scarring on my face. After many years of education and experimentation in the United States and abroad, I developed my own formulations. In 2021, I began to share my products with patients who were also looking for effective, non-toxic and customized skincare.
The "beauty" of these topical formulas are that they combine the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine with modern medical research. Chinese medicine has always used herbs to help the body heal and now, Western science is confirming the awe-inspiring power of plants. Blending the best of both worlds, these treatments can achieve the best results for you. Â
Specifically, I designed my products to achieve four main goals:
Effectiveness: I was tired of buying products that didn't work or resulted in the worsening of my skin. Because of my status under the Oregon Medical Board (where medical doctors are licensed), I am able to source physician-grade active ingredients, which are of the highest quality and efficacy.
Safety: By using non-toxic, vegan, organic and cruelty-free constituents, I can be assured that when my daughter or doggie kiss me, I won't inadvertently harm them. My products come in sustainable packaging and I'm currently developing a "rewards program" when customers bring their containers back.
Individualized solutions: Our skin is the largest organ of the body and our face deserves customized attention. For example, a patient who owned a large spa in Bend consistently orders multiple jars of the Everything Cream. And even though she is experiencing signs of premature aging, she'll often ask me to add Chinese herbs for acne.
Stress-reducing: Did you know that lines and wrinkles can result from chronically tense muscles? I wanted to create products that would help decrease signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots and sagging made worse by stress. The Everything Cream and Blemish Buster can include CBD, the non-psychogenic and non-habit forming molecule found in the hemp plant.* Conversely, I will add CBD to any pain relief topical oil, gel or ointment, upon request.
I am grateful for the positive responses from my current customers and patients. To further improve my skincare line, I would like to know what the greater population might like most about the products and what I can improve. To that end, I would like to send you one of my three most popular products for free.**Â

Afterword:
Product customization in action: Just yesterday, the patient who inspired me to create a 4 oz. jar of Everything Cream asked if I had anything to treat dark circles and puffiness under her eyes. While she rested in her acupuncture treatment, I was able to create a jar of Bright Eyes Cream just for her. She requested extra reishi mushroom for collagen and CBD for relaxation.
A patient with highly-sensitive skin has been using the Lifting Gel morning and night. As you will read below, I developed the Lifting Gel to be used with micro current, radio frequency or ultra sound devices. Again, I couldn't find anything on the market that was clean and anti-aging. My patient not only is able to tolerate the Lifting Gel with no issues, she's feeling and seeing it's firming and lifting benefits even without a device.
