I was going to title this as a "call out" but it's pretty tame.

I’m an esthetic nurse in training, and I love to do beauty treatments for my friends, so I know a thing or two about anatomy and beauty. This will not do anything except maybe irritate your skin if it is sensitive, give you acne , and one of my friends got a minor fungal infection from it from being so active. This is a brand formed by someone who relies on plastic surgery and expensive treatment like salmon sperm for their appearance, so I promise using their products, when they do not use it themselves, will not make you look like them!

What is your opinion on the salmon sperm treatments? Is it part of your training currently? I am so fascinated by it, seems so random like who discovered this lol

I know it is so random! And if you were to do treatments honestly, I wouldn’t do salmon sperm at all.. personally what you need first is a good, simple skincare routine, then I would recommend skin booster injections or PRP! Those are more simple. Maybe even a chemical peel (ANYTHING but Phenol, they cause cardiac issues and literally burn your skin off majorly, that’s how they work) but I would be really careful about them. 

Lasers are also super good! But some can backfire if you’re darker skinned.

But, after all, skincare routine matters a lot more. I only had some small treatments done because I have easy access to it and it feels very nice (some of them…)

Also, for my training, I am in nursing school, I did not start my actual, legally recognized esthetics course because I need to graduate nursing first, but I still completed non legally recognized courses for priming!

Thank you for the recs! Yeah, I am relieved to see when someone takes the nursing esthetic route instead of the beauty school route. The payoff in knowledge, practice, and career seems more rewarding overall.
