Entering the world of acid peels was a leap of faith for my skincare routine and the transformative effects have been undeniable. Starting with The Inkey List’s salicylic acid cleanser felt like a gentle awakening for my skin, purging impurities and prepping. Next, The Ordinary’s glycolic toner became my reliable companion, delicately refining and balancing the skin. The Ordinary’s AHA BHA peel is a must to keep in my skincare routine. A little tingling sensation was a reminder of its potent effects – or as I like to say “It’s working” —radiant, smoother, and boasting and a glow. This personal skincare alchemy has not just transformed my complexion but also elevated my confidence, each step unveiling a newfound layer of beauty, a journey I continue to discover in what ways I can layer acids that are most beneficial to me.
This non-drying, lightly foaming cleanser removes makeup and dirt while penetrating deep into pores to reduce blackheads and breakouts.
Oil Reducing Cleanser. Target enlarged pores, impurities, and excess oil while promoting a more even-looking complex
Powerful Ingredients, Real Results. 2% Salicylic Acid unclogs pores and exfoliates while our Zinc Compound reduces excess oil. 0.% Allantoin helps soothe irritation.
How To Use. Gently massage a raspberry-size amount of cleanser onto the dampened face and neck for at least 60 seconds, then rinse thoroughly. Use AM and PM and follow with your preferred skincare routine.
THE ORDINARY PEELING SOLUTION
AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution exfoliates multiple layers of the skin for a brighter, more even appearance. With the help of alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA), beta-hydroxy acids (BHA), and a studied Tasmanian pepperberry derivative, which reduces irritation that can be associated with acid use, this at-home peel helps even skin texture, clear pore congestion, and improve uneven pigmentation. The formula is further supported with a crosspolymer form of hyaluronic acid for comfort, pro-vitamin B5 for hydration, and black carrot for added protection.
Note: This formula contains an extremely high concentration of free acids. We recommend use only if you are an experienced user of acid exfoliation and your skin is not sensitive.
The pH of this formula is approximately 3.6. Glycolic Acid, the primary AHA used in the formula, has a pKa of 3.6 and pKa is the most important aspect to consider in formulating with acids. pKa implies acid availability. When pKa is close to pH, there is an ideal balance between salt and acidity, maximizing the effectiveness of the acid and reducing skin discomfort.
Ordinary Glycolic Toner
Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution (soon to be Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner) is an exfoliant targeted at the surface of the skin. It helps improve skin clarity, balance uneven skin tone, and correct texture over time. This formula contains a Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative of plant origin which varies in colour seasonally and this colour variation may be apparent in the formula from time to time.
This formula should not be used on sensitive, peeling or compromised skin. Please refer to the additional sun protection note and other warnings in the provided directions.

You may have heard that an unlicensed spa in New Mexico has now been linked to spreading HIV by way of injectable facial procedures, including PRP, aka the Vampire Facial. Because of this recent news story, I thought sharing my Vampire Facial experience from 2021 was important. I have indeed done my own PRP at…

I knew I wanted to be a mother one day…not because I love caring for babies…ask my sister Kristi, she can attest I’m not a natural caregiver to littles.
Even though I knew having children and caring for babies would not be my strength…I still wanted this experience.
Motherhood stretches me…it refines me…and motherhood helps me relate further to others.
I continue to view life as experiences that teach me. And motherhood is the biggest teacher of my life. This teacher can be exhausting, thrilling, hilarious, destructive, frustrating, and unconditionally loving.
I’m grateful for the richness motherhood brings to my life, not because it’s easy. In fact, as I move out of the young kid phase and my boys can judge and criticize me it’s a while new life experience.
No longer am I tying shoe laces, buckling four car seats, and trying to get them pool safe.
Now they are getting drivers licenses, they grill meat, and they cut lawn better than anyone.
As I watch my boys develop into men, I know this is greatest thing I’ve ever done not because I’m a great mother but rather these boys have refined me into a better person.
I no longer think motherhood is solely for children…because it continues to improve me and I find this to be the hidden gift of motherhood.

As you know…I don’t fear monger. This story from an unlicensed med spa in New Mexico is the first CDC case of HIV being transferred by aesthetics.
This doesn’t mean you have a higher risk of HIV contamination if you get a vampire facial. Unfortunately, this clinic was not practicing sterile practices. Whenever the skin barrier is being compromised a sterile environment and new needles are required. Apparently, this med spa was reusing needles which is again INSANE!

Sharing some insights from how LIVES are delivered inside the app.
This is cut from Mondays LIVE when I did my second session of PLLA.
SIDE NOTE: The Tirzepatide has been a huge success in the app. I can’t believe how many people are ready to take control. Congratulations to everyone whose vials are arriving this week. -Next week we will be introducing access to NAD+ and Semaglutide. Access to these peptides is found inside the Natural Kaos App.
The FREE face printable’s are found on my website naturalkaos.com in my profile url I link directly to them.
I like to have a 3 Ring Binder with plastic sheet protectors. I print 20 of these sheets at a time and keep them in my binder.
Each time I do something, I quickly write it down and place it chronologically in my binder.
This makes remembering what you did, where you did it, and when much easier.
It might seem archaic with a million calendar apps that help you navigate life but I love my binder system:)

I realize that some procedures look shocking…Mesotherapy requires many, many pricks.
After a session, I look crazy, or people think I enjoy pain.
THIS IS FALSE
During child birth I needed an epidural with all four deliveries!
I don’t have a high pain tolerance; however, over the years, I’ve developed stamina for the pain.
I enjoy that in our app; we commiserate about all of these aspects of doing professional skincare at home.
I’ve had mesotherapy done professionally, and it’s brutal in professional hands, too. It’s simply the nature of this procedure. I’ve found I can stomach the pain easier if I’m in charge of it.
While I was in Korea, I kept telling my injector that I didn’t want anymore and that whatever was placed was enough for me.
I tried to bow out early, but she insisted I needed to keep going 😂🙈.
If you’ve ever seen my Korean Thread Video, you know I was trying to escape!

The point I want to offer is that not all at-home beauty treatments are as painful as mesotherapy. The major reason Mesotherapy is painful is that you have large areas of skin to cover. You can use numbing cream to take a bit of the bite off, but even 12% topical lido is not going to fully numb you. Some pokes are easy, and others painful.
Mid-face and lip areas are by far my most sensitive regions, and each time I make it through, I feel like a superhero 🦸♀️😅.
I’m motivated by the convenience of performing these procedures at home. Although I don’t look forward to the pain of mesotherapy, I’m always encouraged by the benefits these products have for my skin.
I love the ability and freedom to choose for myself, and I appreciate it when others feel empowered as well. I’ve never infered that my life choices are suitable for everyone; only that options exist, and that’s why I share.

I’m using Mayster PLLA. Today is my second round with this quasi Sculptra dupe. The reason I say “quasi” is because it has a lower molecular weight so the particles are not nearly as large as the PLLA molecules in Sculptra.
I’m using this product inside the Natural Kaos App. You can find it on Apple and Android I go Live at 4pm pst but all lives are saved inside the app for your future convenience.
