In this episode of Sincerely Self, Lexi sits down with returning guest and in-person favorite Liv, a Licensed Master Esthetician and Alexandria Sugar Professional, for an honest, grounding conversation about skin care, self-care, and the misconceptions surrounding the beauty industry.

Together, they explore why skin care is often labeled as a luxury instead of a legitimate form of self-care, and how shame-based messaging can disconnect people from taking care of themselves. Liv shares her journey into esthetics, what drew her to the field at a young age, and what it’s really like working in an industry that’s frequently misunderstood or minimized.

This episode also touches on:

• The importance of uplifting vs. shaming clients in the beauty space

• Why estheticians should meet people where they’re at

• How judgment around products and routines can be harmful

• The emotional and mental side of skin care

• Reframing beauty services as care, not indulgence

If you’ve ever felt guilty for investing in your skin, unsure about professional treatments, or curious about the heart behind esthetician work—this episode is for you.

✨ A reminder that taking care of your skin is still taking care of you.
