Hello! Welcome to Ask the SkinXpert! My name is Adriana. I am a licensed esthetician in Portland, Oregon. I have created this blog to encourage discussion and answer questions pertaining to skincare. I have found so much incorrect information on the internet during my time as a skincare professional. Not everyone has the time or money to visit a spa, especially if you just want one or two specific questions answered. I have created a fun place for everyone to write in with their questions, and armed with my years of experience, as well as an arsenal of friends in the business, I am going to help everyone achieve healthy, glowing skin. In addition to answering questions, I will from time to time post articles and information about products, services, and technology, as well as interview other skincare professionals for their insight and tips! Please write in with any questions or comments you have!
