Shana Esthetician

Hi, my name is Shana and I’ve been in love with skincare for years! It all started on Instagram. I was posting about my skincare (I was obsessed with #texturetuesday lol) which led me to an amazing community of like-minded individuals who also love skincare! I also rediscovered my love for science which led to hours and hours of research of ingredients which, in turn, led to the desire to do, an be, more!
