Who am I?

Real Talk: My friends knew I was Skincare Coach Melanie before I did. 

In college, I’d create routines for everyone in the aisles of Kroger and Walgreens. I went to dermatologist appointments with a friend because she wanted me to ask all the questions for her. I designed a skincare goodie box for my best friend’s birthday, had credit cards given to me to buy whatever in Sephora, and plotted all the ways one could incorporate SPF into a routine. 

And, when I had a debilitating bout of acne in my late 20s, my quirky interest in skincare became a total obsession. Exotic face oils, at-home steamers, skincare research studies, blogs, books, I consumed it all. Ferociously.

Today, my acne has calmed down, but my obsession with skincare has not. Like, at all.

My interest has, however, evolved beyond just skincare products. I’ve developed my own method of situating skincare into a lifelong practice of self-care. Because I know that happy, healthy skin contributes to overall well-being, which means that any skincare routine I develop cannot be a pain in the ass to do every day! 

I can help you avoid years of struggle. I design routines that produce results and work with your particular lifestyle and budget. Together, we can–and will!–outfox the skincare overwhelm.
