“Ugh, I hate peer pressure…”
…anyway, I booked my tox appointment. 😂💉

Consider this your sign. If your friends are doing it, you obviously have to too. 😉✨

Hormonal shifts can leave your skin drier, more sensitive, and more reactive, so if your skincare suddenly feels like it’s “not working” anymore… your skin may just be asking for something different.

✨ Start with your barrier: Swap your lightweight lotion for a fragrance-free moisturizer with ceramides to help replenish and protect the skin barrier.

✨ Don’t ditch your retinol: Retinol is still a key player for fine lines, texture, and collagen support. But if your skin is irritated, try lowering the strength or using it less frequently.

✨ SPF is still non-negotiable: Daily SPF 30+ helps protect against the UV damage that contributes to premature aging, pigmentation, and collagen breakdown.

The goal isn’t to pile on more products. It’s to adjust your routine to what your skin needs now. Your skin is changing—and your skincare can change with it. 🤍

🩵And we’ll be diving deeper into skincare, hormones, and aging at our upcoming Tidewater Pharmacy | Erin Straughan event. October 1st, 6:30-8pm at Tidewater Pharmacy! You won’t want to miss this… AND first 25 RSVPs will receive a FREE Alumier chemical peel. Check out Tidewater Pharmacy | Erin Straughan- link is in their bio!

September is for starting the skin journey that January you will thank you for. ✨

If your goal is healthier, smoother, more radiant skin by the new year, now is the time to start.

Treatments like microneedling, chemical peels, medical-grade skincare, and other customized treatments work best as part of a consistent plan—not a last-minute fix. Many treatments stimulate collagen, improve texture and tone, and address concerns like sun damage, fine lines, and uneven pigmentation over time.

Starting in September gives your skin time to heal, build collagen, and show the results of consistent care before the holidays and new year. 🤍

Money can’t buy happiness… but it can buy good skincare. ✨

And after a summer of sun, heat, sweat, and long days outside, your skin deserves a little extra investment.

Now is the perfect time to reset your routine, repair summer damage, and focus on keeping your skin healthy, hydrated, and protected as we head into fall. ☀️➡️🍂

Medical-grade skincare, consistent SPF, and the right treatments can make a big difference in the long-term health and appearance of your skin. 🤍

Some things can make your skin look older faster than you think 👀

☀️ Skipping SPF
💧 Dehydrated skin
🧴 Not using medical-grade skincare
😴 Not getting enough sleep
🚬 Smoking
🫠 Ignoring your skin until there’s a problem
📱 Constantly squinting at your phone

Your skin reflects what you do consistently. Protect it, take care of it, and don’t wait until you see the signs of aging to start. 🤍

One of the biggest things I want patients to understand is that not every expensive treatment is going to give you an expensive-looking result.

RF microneedling and a lot of non-surgical “skin tightening” devices aren’t necessarily doing nothing — but I do think patients are often sold a result these treatments can’t reliably deliver.

They can be expensive, usually require multiple sessions, and the improvement may still be pretty subtle.

If someone has true skin laxity and is expecting a noticeable lift or tightening, I’d rather be honest about what’s realistically achievable than have them spend thousands chasing a result a device probably can’t give them.

At Stick Fix, we’ll always tell you what we think is worth your money — and what isn’t. 🤍
