Everything you've ever wanted to know about skincare in Colorado Springs but didn't know who to ask. Lisa Boness from Vanguard Aesthetics joins us to break down what the high altitude and intense UV are really doing to your skin, and what to do about it.

We cover the treatments that actually work (and the ones that are just hype), at-home gadgets worth your money, the right way to handle a breakout, and a hidden-gem treatment called the Collagenizer NEO that most locals have never heard of.

Plus, we talk about Clara's incredible mission to donate 100% of retail profits to local and global charities, including organizations right here in El Paso County. Whether you're a skincare newbie or a full-on product junkie, you'll love this chat.

In this episode, we cover:

Lisa's approach to no-pressure consultations and why that matters
Why people who move here feel like they age overnight
IPL and chemical peels, and when to get them
Botox (the stigma and the truth)
The Collagenizer NEO and predictive permeation
Seasonal skincare and why some treatments stop in May
Red light therapy devices and what to look for
The right way to pop a pimple (if you're going to do it anyway)
Clara's charitable giving mission
