The Epigenetic Approach to Symptomatic Skin
The turn of the season often brings an uptick in clients reaching out for support. Those who rarely experience symptoms suddenly find themselves facing unwanted symptoms as the season changes. In this blog, our Director of Skin Health, Kristina Holey, breaks down her approach to navigating seasonal vulnerability and shares case studies from her own practice in an effort to help you find your own unique path to find balance, calm, and healthy skin, once again.
Why We Made This: Rescue Tonic
We made Rescue Tonic at the request of people suffering from dermatitis-type symptoms that kept returning, no matter what they did. In fact, the more they tried, the worse things got. By targeting the cause rather than suppressing the symptoms we broke the vicious cycle of flare-ups followed by temporary relief followed by even worse flare-ups, and in addition dispensed with the compounding of symptoms that can accompany microbiome dysfunction.
Yogurt for Skin Health: Topical Benefits + Boosting Friendly Microbes
In our quest for radiant, healthy skin, we often overlook the simplest, most natural solutions. Whether you struggle with rosacea, acne, or simply want to optimize skin health, incorporating yogurt into your skincare regimen can yield remarkable results. In this blog, Marie shares her experience with using this beloved ferment topically, the science behind yogurt’s benefits for your skin, and specific friendly bacteria that make it effective.
The Best Cleanser for Skin Health Isn't Sold by Any Skincare Company, Including Ours.
When asked about her most essential products, it’s no secret that Marie Veronique Nadeau will reveal she uses yogurt as her daily cleanser. In fact, it was a muse when we formulated our oil cleansers to be a shelf-stable version of it. In honor of Marie’s dedication to the source and her legendary influence over many of us, we feel compelled to elaborate on this effective DIY step so you may experience the wonders of Mother Nature’s fermented topical if you wish.
Introducing Barrier Layer Support for the Body
At Marie Veronique our strategic formulations utilize novel surfactants, emollients, and probiotics; deliberately including ONLY ingredients that work synergistically to support barrier function, even the emulsifiers. With this in mind, we are so pleased to introduce our latest innovation and first body product ever: Body Barrier Emulsion.
Beyond Topical: Lymphatics with Lisa Gainsley
Beyond Topical is an informative series featuring interviews with authentic Marie Veronique users sharing their expertise across a variety of topics that impact total skin health and wellness. As leaders in their respective fields, we value the informed decisions that have brought these friends of the brand to Marie Veronique Skincare. Because while supporting skin with well-formulated and strategic topicals such as the ones we make at Marie Veronique is imperative, we also want to bring attention to other contributing factors that can influence skin health.
How to Counter Heat for Cool, Calm Skin
At Marie Veronique, we consider product formulation as a way to problem-solve. We're always watching the industry, noting trends in the treatment room, as well as at-home skin care. In recent years we’ve noticed an increase in clients who are experiencing symptoms related to heat in the skin, including redness, discoloration, and flushing.
This motivated us to think about all the ways we encounter heat on a regular basis and what to do when it impacts skin health. We’re so pleased to introduce our latest product, FACE TO CHEST HYDRATION MASK.
The Barrier Layer is Elemental to a Healthy Skin Microbiome
We are leaning more about the skin microbiome every day but it’s a relatively new field of investigation compared to that of the gut microbiome, which explains why, to date, much more has been written about the gut microbiome, with the skin running far behind in second place. In lieu of studies directly involving the skin microbiome some researchers have made assumptions based on gut research and applied them to the skin microbiome as it contributes to skin function. Rather than taking that approach I suggest it would be more helpful to examine the skin microbiome in its own right, starting with a few basic facts.
