So you want to know, what’s the number one anti-aging facial product you can use?
Sunscreen!
Probably not what you expected me to say. 😉
Why, would this be the number one anti-aging facial product you ask?
Because premature wrinkles, sagging, and discoloration are the signs of accelerated aging from sun damage.
Now we are all going to age if we live long enough, so we have to be reasonable, but if you wan to maintain firm, taught skin that is even in color for as long as possible, then daily sunscreen is a must.
So why is the sun so harmful to our skin?
“The sun’s ultraviolet light can cause major damage to the skin. The outer layer of the skin has cells that contain the pigment melanin. Melanin protects skin from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. These can burn the skin and reduce its elasticity, leading to premature aging.” explains MedlinePlus.gov Click here to read more from MedLinePlus.gov
Too much exposure leads to large flat brown spots, lax skin and even skin cancer. So take the time to apply sunscreen. Want to know the ins and outs of sunscreen? How much should you put on? How often should you apply? Click her for sunscreen info you need to know!

Response from Monica Hicks
Thank you so much for the glowing review Natalie!
Amazing Services-No one finer
Monica is the absolute best at everything she does! In particular, she’s been working on my brows for over 10 years and most recently I’ve been getting regular facials with her. She knows so much about skin, the products she uses and techniques that I just always let her choose which one I get. I always come away from my facials feeling all kinds of relaxed, but ladies, I’m 53 years old and have never had more compliments on my skin. Monica, you can never retire 🥰
Relaxing and refreshing skin care
I love Monica’s treatment room – it’s cozy and quiet. Whether I’m getting a facial or brow wax and tint, it always feels like a peaceful little get away from life’s demands. Monica takes excellent care of my sensitive skin and personalizes her services to meet whatever my skin needs at the time of my visit.
Facial
I’ve known Monica for a few years. She is a master at skin care and beauty! I am very picky with my personal care products. I really liked the one line she carries by skinscript. Her facials are VERY relaxing. I feel like all my troubles just melt away when I’m on Monica’s table. My face shines when she is done. The waxing always looks amazing too!
An Angel? An amazing esthetician? Both!
Monica is an Angel when it comes to treating the skin and it’s varying issues! I have been seeing her regularly since I was 18 (now 24), so she has worked with my skin through many difficult seasons! No matter what condition my skin is in, I always look forward to my appointments. Monica goes above and beyond to make sure you are relaxed and comfortable, no matter the treatment you’re receiving. I’ve even fallen asleep on more than one occasion! Her high quality products, tools, and wealth of knowledge on the skin- sets her high above any average esthetician. I am constantly referring my friends to her and cannot recommend her services enough. Thank you Monica!
