🪩✨ Before and after: 10 YEARS AGO working as a Nail Tech, versus today as an Aesthetician! 🪩✨ I’ve worked in the beauty industry for 16 years now! For most of my career, I’ve worked in day spa settings! Day spas don’t offer invasive services, so I owe most of my changes to practicing an intense daily skincare routine. 👀 Patients ask me if skincare actually works—I am my own before and after! • 🪩✨ I invested in: 🦷 Smile makeover: #invisalign, 2 front #veneers, teeth whitening 💉 Injections: #botox twice a year, #lipinjections once 🧴 Skincare: @skinceuticals @farmhousefresh 🧴 Skincare as makeup: @farmhousefresh • 🛍️ Click link in bio to shop @farmhousefresh and use #promocode SKINBYSHELL124 for free shipping $40+! • 🧜🏽‍♀️ Michelle Gravallese, Master Aesthetician 📍 Potomac, Maryland

✨ WEIGHT LOSS before & after! ✨ Let’s talk #semaglutide! I’ve lost over 30lbs! So many people ask me about what I’ve done and what to expect. 1 shot a week: ➖ Started with extreme fatigue, ya girl was tired! ➖ “Food noise” gone ➖ HYDRATION-you’ll be thirsty, drink electrolytes! ➖ Severe dry mouth—drink even more water! I’ve had to make more frequent dentist visits, dry mouth effects teeth, frequently mouth wash ➖ Feel less inflammation-less puffy and bloated! ➖ EAT PROTEIN-I eat a lot of meat! ➖ Hair loss-lots more hair in the shower lol ➖ Feel “loose”, my muscles aren’t as strong and skin doesn’t feel “tight” like my booty lol ➖ Overall a feeling of healthier: lifestyle, diet, choices, stress, SKIN is visibly more glowing ✨ COMMENT for questions! ✨

Dehydrated skin? Fine lines look more pronounced when skin is lacking water retention! 🍇 Think of a grape versus a raisin—instead of skin appearing more plump, revitalized, and healthy, dehydrated skin appears stressed and lackluster. • The key to dehydrated skin is EXFOLIATION and HYDRATION! 🍇 Exfoliate to buff away dull dead skin cells and debris, then hydrate to nourish and renew complexion! • Hydration hacks include using: ✔️ Oil-based cleansers and cleansing balms ✔️ Products made with ingredient #hyaluronicacid ✔️ Misters throughout the day to rebalance skin ✔️ Hydration masks (sleep in overnight) ✔️ Quality correctors and moisturizers • 🧜🏽‍♀️ Michelle Gravallese, Master Aesthetician 📍 Bethesda, MD @georgialeithskin
