A Post Wedding Photo Session - San Francisco

I had the honor of styling Laura for her wedding at Auberge du Soleil in Napa last year. This year, she and her husband decided to have a post wedding photo session in San Francisco with the talented Augie Chang again. I'm so touched that Laura has asked me to style her again for this post wedding shoot. Laura has shoulder length hair but like her wedding day, she opted for long, flowy locks so I put in hair extensions for her to create her dream look.

My Skincare Regimen

I've been asked by many people about my skincare regimen and the products I use so here's a blog post dedicated to skincare. I've included the links to most of the products and tools on the bottom of the post. Enjoy and email me (joey@jbeautique.com) if you have questions about the products.

If I wore makeup that day, I would start off my skincare regimen with a cleansing oil to remove makeup. I like to use Jill Stuart Cleansing Oil, it is less greasy than the Shu Uemura High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil. After thoroughly rinsing off the oil, I would use the Collin Deep Cleansing Solution with a cotton pad on my Hada Crie by Hitachi to remove all traces of the cleansing oil.

Next, I will cleanse my skin with Jill Stuart Foaming Wash with my Clarisonic Mia II.

These are the skincare items I use regularly after cleansing. From left to right: Hadalabo Whitening Toner | Sulwhasoo First Serum | Anna Sui Whitening Milk | Sulwhasoo Snowise EX Whitening Cream

When I need a boost of hydration or if I've been out in the sun, I would use my Hitachi Hada Crie with Misutenshi Skin Treatment Gel. Once a week, I will exfoliate with Sulwhasoo Ginseng Exfoliating Gel. If I ever break out, I will use La Mer the Concentrate to speed up the healing of my skin. For under eyes and in the winter when my skin is extra dry, I use a thin layer of La Mer Moisturizing Cream.
