In this episode of the pod, we're debunking dangerous at-home skincare "hacks" trending in 2026. Diving into the risks of facial steaming with tap water, we explain how bacteria and mineral buildup can lead to severe infections, especially for those with active acne. We also warn against the use of at-home derma rollers, clarifying that these tools often "drag" and tear the skin rather than creating the clean micro-channels achieved through professional micro-needling.

00:23.521 --> 00:25.768
[SPEAKER_03]: Georgia to have a more licensed ascetician.

00:26.230 --> 00:29.139
[SPEAKER_03]: Kristen, Kristen Samborn, I'm a licensed ascetician.

00:29.601 --> 00:36.383
[SPEAKER_01]: And Ms. Ashley, actually licensed ascetician owner of Skingeeks and VP of sales for Greedon.

00:36.717 --> 00:40.083
[SPEAKER_02]: And today is going to be a little bit of a shorter episode.

00:40.123 --> 00:41.626
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a couple of things I want to talk about.

00:41.927 --> 00:47.297
[SPEAKER_02]: It was initially going to be a long episode about trends, but I only have two real trends I want to talk about.

00:48.018 --> 00:55.131
[SPEAKER_00]: Number one, if you're tired of shaving, in-growns, and stubble, comes to the waxing post at amazingly Ageless and Harrisonville.

00:55.111 --> 00:59.479
[SPEAKER_00]: Our A-A-Skin babes use gentle techniques for snoozers skin-not-last weeks.

00:59.499 --> 01:03.766
[SPEAKER_00]: We're fast, we're consistent, and we make you feel comfortable from start to finish.

01:04.267 --> 01:06.692
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why you can trust us for all things waxing.

01:06.972 --> 01:09.457
[SPEAKER_02]: So download the amazingly ages app and book online.

01:09.577 --> 01:11.620
[SPEAKER_02]: Just start to amazingly ageless in the app store.

01:11.981 --> 01:13.263
[SPEAKER_02]: Two real trends I want to talk about.

01:13.985 --> 01:15.608
[SPEAKER_02]: Number one, facial steaming.

01:15.628 --> 01:16.269
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you guys think?

01:16.449 --> 01:18.132
[SPEAKER_02]: At home, facial steaming.

01:18.112 --> 01:21.897
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm also not big on it in the treatment room either, but at home, I'm not a fan at all.

01:22.278 --> 01:28.306
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just big on it in the treatment room, so I really don't think like at home you really need to do anything.

01:28.326 --> 01:30.249
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, here's the thing, here's my thing with it.

01:30.329 --> 01:31.290
[SPEAKER_02]: People don't understand.

01:31.351 --> 01:34.134
[SPEAKER_02]: You cannot use tap water in your facial steamer.

01:34.475 --> 01:35.096
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

01:35.296 --> 01:38.661
[SPEAKER_02]: I saw a girl that got a huge infection on her face from facial steaming.

01:38.701 --> 01:39.742
[SPEAKER_02]: She was using tap water.

01:40.604 --> 01:45.250
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, she also had acne, so that did not, that tap water germs.

01:45.922 --> 01:49.594
[SPEAKER_02]: Minerals a key stuff goes in your facial steam or goes on your face.

01:49.754 --> 01:55.493
[SPEAKER_02]: You have open acne like bad combination and she's cleaning

01:56.030 --> 01:57.872
[SPEAKER_01]: See, that's the other thing you have time.

01:58.373 --> 02:00.335
[SPEAKER_02]: So in the treatment room, we have a steamer.

02:00.455 --> 02:05.842
[SPEAKER_02]: We have to run vinegar, and there's the water through it to clean it, and people don't know that.

02:05.902 --> 02:07.944
[SPEAKER_02]: So I say out with facial steaming.

02:08.745 --> 02:13.471
[SPEAKER_02]: Also don't ask for it in my room, because I do not have a room for a steamer in my treatment room.

02:13.851 --> 02:18.797
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think steaming is kind of going to the wayside, just because it is, it can, uh,

02:18.777 --> 02:20.960
[SPEAKER_03]: sometimes that heat can cause inflammation.

02:21.441 --> 02:24.105
[SPEAKER_03]: So I don't do, I don't ever do facial steam.

02:24.165 --> 02:25.447
[SPEAKER_03]: My skin will not tolerate.

02:25.567 --> 02:29.894
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't even perform a treatment with facial steam because my skin won't tolerate it.

02:30.295 --> 02:34.160
[SPEAKER_03]: So I think one of the trans 4 or 20, 26 is that home facial steam.

02:34.581 --> 02:35.462
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, take that one out.

02:35.563 --> 02:36.123
[SPEAKER_03]: Yep.

02:36.284 --> 02:38.547
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, this one I'm very passionate about.

02:38.567 --> 02:39.689
[SPEAKER_02]: Derma rollers.

02:40.730 --> 02:40.831
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

02:40.851 --> 02:47.080
[SPEAKER_02]: So many times I ask can I do my

02:47.296 --> 02:48.258
[SPEAKER_01]: not even close.

02:49.020 --> 02:49.300
[SPEAKER_01]: No.

02:49.320 --> 02:52.848
[SPEAKER_01]: 100% no because it drags the skin.

02:52.908 --> 02:56.436
[SPEAKER_01]: Every time it goes into the skin, it's dragged.

02:56.456 --> 02:56.837
[SPEAKER_01]: Nope.

02:56.857 --> 02:57.258
[SPEAKER_01]: Nope.

02:57.278 --> 02:57.739
[SPEAKER_01]: No, thank you.

02:57.839 --> 03:01.127
[SPEAKER_01]: Dharma rollers are not doing the mother not doing anything.

03:01.568 --> 03:06.739
[SPEAKER_02]: Two, I have seen people get chicken scratches across their face from Dharma rollers.

03:06.719 --> 03:15.661
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, most people are not sanitizing anything at home, so you're just dragging bacteria across your face, trying to make holes and put it in there.

03:16.182 --> 03:24.643
[SPEAKER_03]: What?

03:24.623 --> 03:27.207
[SPEAKER_03]: individually used heads that are sharp.

03:27.227 --> 03:38.725
[SPEAKER_03]: Think about if you're using the same derma roller at home over and over again, those tips are starting to get dull and so they're going to drag so they're going to tear the skin instead of poking holes in the skin.

03:39.025 --> 03:42.971
[SPEAKER_03]: And so what what do derma rollers, macaroni, lean, lean, lean, lean, lean, lean.

03:42.991 --> 03:45.315
[SPEAKER_03]: I explain why we even do something like that.

03:45.295 --> 03:46.817
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, not derma-rollers take those out.

03:46.837 --> 03:48.258
[SPEAKER_02]: They're not derma-rollers, you know.

03:48.378 --> 03:50.380
[SPEAKER_03]: What about the concept, B2?

03:50.760 --> 03:52.422
[SPEAKER_02]: Behind Micronelean, why do we do it?

03:52.582 --> 03:55.185
[SPEAKER_02]: So we're putting little microchannels, micro holes.

03:55.285 --> 03:56.646
[SPEAKER_02]: People get freaked out when I say holes.

03:56.706 --> 03:57.767
[SPEAKER_02]: So I say microchannels.

03:58.188 --> 04:02.092
[SPEAKER_02]: But what it is, is it's putting little holes in the skin that's going to tell your body go heal.

04:02.632 --> 04:04.354
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's that anti-aging effect there.

04:05.875 --> 04:12.602
[SPEAKER_02]: Not big enough to make, well, sometimes some people believe, but it's not like a,

04:13.240 --> 04:14.683
[SPEAKER_02]: can't compare it to a tattoo needle.

04:14.703 --> 04:15.524
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's go way too deep.

04:16.206 --> 04:17.468
[SPEAKER_02]: But we say needles.

04:17.508 --> 04:20.834
[SPEAKER_02]: I get they're whole different thing, but they're anti aging.

04:20.854 --> 04:23.359
[SPEAKER_02]: They're not meant for hyperpigmentation in my opinion.

04:24.341 --> 04:29.410
[SPEAKER_02]: You'll get a little bit because you're exfoliating, but it's not like going to treat hyperpigmentation.

04:29.491 --> 04:31.034
[SPEAKER_03]: I like to use my scenarios.

04:31.174 --> 04:34.339
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, think of macaroni lean as aerating your yard.

04:34.800 --> 04:36.463
[SPEAKER_03]: You're going in and you're poking hosts.

04:36.523 --> 04:37.445
[SPEAKER_02]: And my yard.

04:37.465 --> 04:38.687
[SPEAKER_02]: So they have to use serum.

04:38.867 --> 04:39.047
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

04:39.108 --> 04:40.730
[SPEAKER_02]: So like a hyaluronic acid.

04:41.231 --> 04:44.337
[SPEAKER_02]: I use green and beast H. A collagen fantastic.

04:44.677 --> 04:45.799
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the name of the boosting serum.

04:46.019 --> 04:49.405
[SPEAKER_02]: I always get H. I love that stuff.

04:49.425 --> 04:53.372
[SPEAKER_02]: I use that for micro needleing and wasn't just putting that in the skin.

04:53.352 --> 04:56.698
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and so that's where those, those, the micro-nealine is creating those channels.

04:56.899 --> 05:13.791
[SPEAKER_03]: So those products can go ahead and penetrate down into the skin, and the micro-nealine RF using radio frequency with micro-nealine is kind of a kind of up in the, up in the game a little bit, instead of targeting going in and creating a way to drop serums and

05:13.771 --> 05:19.181
[SPEAKER_03]: that into this skin, it's actually using radio frequency to burn microholes into the skin.

05:19.261 --> 05:26.234
[SPEAKER_03]: So we're creating that wound where your skin is going to go in restructure and tighten and lift.

05:26.254 --> 05:28.157
[SPEAKER_03]: And so that's the difference between the micro nearly.

05:28.197 --> 05:30.622
[SPEAKER_03]: So that is not as something that you need to be doing at home.

05:30.662 --> 05:33.287
[SPEAKER_03]: So you may be seeing it on TikTok and different places.

05:34.148 --> 05:36.673
[SPEAKER_03]: But that treatment needs to be

05:36.653 --> 05:43.524
[SPEAKER_02]: And the, in the, because you live from fashion bar, you need someone that needs to know what depth your skin needs.

05:43.544 --> 05:53.920
[SPEAKER_02]: Because you don't also see some in TikTok videos of people buying the doctor pin, the micro needle pin, doing it at home and they're doing like a 1.5 or a 2 inch on their face and I'm like,

05:54.187 --> 05:54.988
[SPEAKER_02]: Not inch.

05:55.008 --> 05:59.033
[SPEAKER_02]: But at one point five or two on their face, I'm like, whoah, girl, that isn't way too much.

05:59.233 --> 06:01.697
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you can harm yourself and hurt yourself.

06:01.737 --> 06:06.863
[SPEAKER_03]: So let's not cause more damage that your estition is.

06:06.883 --> 06:07.864
[SPEAKER_02]: But their rollers are out.

06:08.545 --> 06:09.226
[SPEAKER_03]: That was done.

06:09.947 --> 06:10.668
[SPEAKER_01]: Those are not it.

06:10.828 --> 06:12.250
[SPEAKER_01]: There's dermal stamping.

06:12.290 --> 06:13.311
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm starting to see that.

06:13.331 --> 06:13.772
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw that.

06:13.812 --> 06:14.613
[SPEAKER_02]: And I chose to.

06:15.775 --> 06:19.059
[SPEAKER_01]: Which better than a roller, however, just help.

06:19.419 --> 06:21.662
[SPEAKER_02]: Stay in the process, your shit.

06:22.435 --> 06:24.088
[SPEAKER_02]: That's all I'm going to say.

06:24.109 --> 06:26.387
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's appeal that Derma Plain at Home, too.

06:26.958 --> 06:36.991
[SPEAKER_02]: Get new I they're not doing a plan for they call the tinkle racers Tinkle tinkles whatever those things.

06:37.732 --> 06:39.455
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's like I know who's gonna do.

06:39.475 --> 06:44.121
[SPEAKER_02]: It's gonna do it like they're not gonna stop Get new ones stand ties get some barberset.

06:44.161 --> 06:45.203
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't give a crap.

06:45.403 --> 06:53.033
[SPEAKER_02]: Just say Anything you're using on your face Santa ties your shit

06:53.013 --> 07:06.682
[SPEAKER_03]: And in case you can't tell, Nina's run across this a couple times in her treat, but as far as the ad home drama planning, you know, I would rather see my clients use a razor, like a min's sharp razor with a brand new razor head at home to do a plane.

07:06.702 --> 07:11.933
[SPEAKER_02]: I know it doesn't have to be like, and the strip on it that has the thing on it, you know, I'm talking about.

07:11.913 --> 07:13.616
[SPEAKER_02]: the strip with the thing on the face.

07:14.438 --> 07:21.049
[SPEAKER_03]: But just make sure that if you're going to be at home derma planning, throw that derma planning blade out and use a new one each and every time.

07:21.470 --> 07:22.592
[SPEAKER_03]: And don't dig at the skin.

07:23.033 --> 07:26.599
[SPEAKER_03]: Just glide, this is just something that you can use between appointments.

07:26.740 --> 07:28.082
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't make that a

07:28.062 --> 07:30.366
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, please, I'll try this one on sanitizing.

07:30.426 --> 07:38.518
[SPEAKER_02]: If you use anything to extract pimples, and you kind of tool to extract pimples, please sanitize before you use it again.

07:38.719 --> 07:43.025
[SPEAKER_02]: If it's sitting open on your counter before you use it, sanitize, put it on barberside for five minutes.

07:43.206 --> 07:45.970
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't care to sanitize.

07:45.950 --> 07:51.620
[SPEAKER_03]: So I think probably the one thing to make sure you're doing at home for 2026 is sanitizing your things.

07:51.660 --> 08:02.178
[SPEAKER_03]: And that includes your makeup wipes, that includes your cleansing sponges, throw them in the, you know, make sure that you're sanitizing everything, because we've been seen a lot of cross-contamination going on.

08:02.599 --> 08:08.389
[SPEAKER_03]: Lots of talking to different clients with acne, spreading acne with different tools at home.

08:08.469 --> 08:08.970
[SPEAKER_03]: So

08:08.950 --> 08:11.639
[SPEAKER_03]: I think Linus will number one thing it sanitize this year.

08:12.081 --> 08:15.131
[SPEAKER_02]: All right guys, well actually thank you so much for hanging out with me.

08:15.151 --> 08:16.034
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you, it's a pleasure.

08:16.094 --> 08:21.091
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you all for listening and this is a PSA and we will see you all next week.

08:21.673 --> 08:21.874
[SPEAKER_02]: Bye.

08:21.974 --> 08:22.717
[SPEAKER_02]: Bye.

08:22.757 --> 08:23.078
