MEET YOUR NEW ‘SKINCARE GIRL’

Working for the Nordstrom Beauty Department back in 2016, it was the norm to have customers come in overwhelmed by conflicting advice and marketing jargon. I loved many parts of that job, but I quickly realized that I didn’t have it in me to become a pushy cog in the sales machine. All I knew was that I wanted to help people find what really worked for them instead of letting them feel like they had to figure it out alone or worse, bullied into buying a bunch of products that would only collect dust in their bathroom cabinets. What I didn’t know is that my obstinate streak would be the spark that started Love Based Beauty.

Since then, I’ve learned to love a good scientific research journal, appreciated the woo-woo, and gained something that even Chat GPT can’t give you when you need answers about your skin: perspective. A Google search hasn’t experienced the frustration of chronic acne and a Reddit thread doesn’t know what treatment plan would work for your unique lifestyle & skin needs. Modern skincare is less about one-size-fits-all remedies or pushing & punishing your skin; instead, it focuses on understanding & nurturing, but that’s all relative so it’s important to find balance specifically for you. It also doesn’t hurt when your products smell yummy!

It’s become my mission to create an experience that you’d expect to have to visit to New York or LA to find. I love Milwaukee and I think the people here deserve to have the best. Throughout this labor of love, I’ve spent countless hours scouting for the perfect product lines with sophisticated formulas that make you look forward to doing your skincare routine. I invested in a lot of ambient lighting too (very important), and make it a point to continue broadening my perspective on skincare and integrative wellness. Some of my training includes Sculptural Lifting Technique in Los Angeles with Yachov Gershkovich and Myofascial Release Therapy techniques under John Barnes in Boston, with continued individual training from a local expert-level MFR therapist. Most recently, I trained in Brooklyn with the talented Joanna Tringali on Lymphatic Drainage, Facial Myofascial Release and Buccal Massage.

It brings me so much joy to share Love Based Beauty with you and to watch your skin transform. Once you know what it needs to thrive, you are going to fall in love with your skincare ritual . It’s up to you to decide when you’re ready to give yourself the love and attention you deserve - if you’re still reading this, I think you already have and I can’t wait to meet you!

LBB IS PROUD TO CARRY

  • Our newest addition, which is quickly becoming a client favorite, Le Mieux (“The Best” in French) is an American-Made line, created and owned by a Korean-American woman, Janel Luu. We love the results we’re seeing from Le Mieux; it is so luxe and gentle that you’d never expect it to deliver such an impact, but we are consistently blown away by its elegant and effective formulations.

  • Jan Marini is a legend in the Skincare world. Widely respected for her relentless pursuit of cutting edge skincare technology, her brand is proud owner of many ingredient patents and an impressive collection of industry awards & accolades.

    WHY LBB LOVES MARINI SKIN SOLUTIONS:

    I not only love MSS but I am so proud to have it in the LBB treatment room.

    Nothing is better than seeing the transformations that MSS has brought to my clients' skin, including the MSS home care line. I was never a fan of skincare "systems," until I tried MSS and was blown away by the difference! I love the unique Marini approach to skincare: in addition to introducing revolutionary ingredients like DMAE, they have reengineered previously harsh ingredients to harness their full potential & now even those of us with sensitive skin can enjoy the benefits! The results speak for themselves but I'm proud to know that there has been so much research and clinical studies to back it up.

  • One of the first lines that LBB brought on at the beginning and its gentle, nourishing products have remained a staple in the rotation. Osmosis is Pregnancy & Breastfeeding safe (with very few exceptions) and many of the products also having been certified as Oncologically safe as well. Osmosis is particularly concerned with keeping their products non-toxic and maintaining the integrity of their botanical ingredients while continuously evolving & modernizing their formulas.

    WHY LBB LOVES OSMOSIS:

    Who wouldn't love a reliable, nourishing collection of products that focuses on supporting the skin's healing functions! Osmosis makes a beautiful companion to the JSMR & KX peels & other treatments.

  • KRX Aesthetics was born from a passion for redefining beauty through groundbreaking technology and time-honored Korean traditions. Their journey began with a simple yet profound belief: that true beauty is a harmonious blend of the past and the future.
    Drawing inspiration from Korea’s centuries-old beauty rituals and leveraging the latest scientific innovations, KRX Aesthetics is dedicated to pioneering solutions that elevate skincare to an art form.

    WHY LBB LOVES KRX:

    The innovative product formulas prioritize skin health and we love all of the new ingredients and treatments we are about to introduce to our Milwaukee clientele!
