Transcript

[A]

Savannah is actively violating this table right now. I'm just watching you.

[B]

It's like a fidget toy.

[A]

It's an interesting fidget. There are toys that I have seen that look like that, but I wouldn't call them fidget toys.

[B]

I wish it was a man. This seems fun.

[A]

I would not, not. Why not that There are some pointy ends on that that may not be the most desirable. Anyway, today we are doing a fun little Q and A for our queen over here. You know, y'all love the Q&As, and I think it's good because we try to brainstorm on our end what are some interesting skincare things to talk about. But nothing's better than, you know, getting directly from the source what y'all want to hear. So we're going to be giving the answers today, or shall I say Savannah will be giving the answers because there's some questions for you, maybe. But I learned recently that while I pick up on things, I may not actually have a full understanding of them because the other day, a client. Not. Not a client at this. A friend of ours, sort of. Anyways, she had taken B12 supplements and started breaking out. And so I was like, oh, you know, B12 increases the amount of skin cells. And as an acne prone person, you're already producing too many skin cells, so it's going to clog the pore. And, you know, I thought I ate with that explanation. I was like, I'm giving Savannah bota boots down. Like, I am an esthetician, basically. And Savannah was like, sweetheart, you did really good. But that's not right. And apparently B12 just increases the bacteria on your skin, biotin and inflammation, and biotin increases the amount of skin cells you produce. But now, you know, in my defense, I had always heard Savannah explain biotin and B12 sort of length. So she'd be like, biotin and B12 are going to increase the skin because.

[B]

They'Re usually in the same supplements.

[A]

Supplements, yeah. So I had heard the explanation, but I just didn't know that they did two separate things. So I'm educated now, but probably best to get your advice directly from the source and not for me. It's my takeaway. So first question.

[B]

Ready.

[A]

Intense serum or microneedling?

[B]

Well, both, because they're completely different. One's exosomes, one's actually collagen induction therapy. And I think they're confused because I always will say intense serum is like liquid microneedling, but that's just because it produces collagen and Elastin, and it can heal scarring, but it's never going to replace like a procedure. So you can do the intense serum with microneedling, but it's just. They're very different.

[A]

The best answer is both.

[B]

Both of them.

[A]

Both of them. And at the same time. Is there a purge after starting Maestro?

[B]

Some people will experience a little bit of purging with Maestro, but not many.

[A]

I didn't. And let me tell y'all, I don't purge or I purge from everything, and I didn't. And Savannah and I thought it was funny because, like, people who are extremely acne prone and like, get a lot of cystic acne, which Savannah's acne prone, but I don't think you get, like, the type of acne I do, you know? And the people who have normal skin or maybe not as acne prone skin experienced more purging and the people who had a lot of acne or super acne prone skin didn't. So. Very interesting. Usually it's the other way around. Acne bed before or after moisturizer?

[B]

Acne med before. And you want to wait 10 minutes so it doesn't deactivate it. So you want to wait 10 minutes and then do your moisturizer. But you don't have to. You could be just like Tyler and just not.

[A]

Yeah, I don't use moisturizer on top of acne med, but I think at first you may need to. My skin definitely has acclimated to using benzoyl peroxide every night, and I don't need it. And that's my two cents.

[B]

Slaking.

[A]

Is there a difference between acne and congested pores? Isn't that like, which came first? The chicken?

[B]

Yeah, that is. That is what came first. Chicken or the egg? It all starts as a clogged pore and then it evolves.

[A]

Do you want to give your host feel on that that you gave yesterday when you solved?

[B]

No. You guys need to book a consult.

[A]

What sunscreen do you wear when you do a full face without skin and better tinted sunscreen?

[B]

Glow. I use the glow from Color Science. It looks like the Charlotte Charlotte Tilbury flawless filter, but it's sunscreen and it's acne safe. Or you could do the bronze. Those two are, like, amazing.

[A]

Underneath, I'm pregnant with very dry skin on my face and body. What do you suggest?

[B]

Trio Lux for your face and your body? I. I would do the Epic cure and body lotion Restorative Ha and Restorative Ha. Period.

[A]

Pooky, what's the best minimal skin, better routine for someone on a budget.

[B]

Alto Advanced Alpharette overnight cream and trio those three. And then do like, just a basic cleanser and a basic sunscreen. Those are like the holy Trinity.

[A]

It is the holy Trinity. And they're all different colors.

[B]

I know. It's really cute. They're really cute.

[A]

How to get rid of acne that never comes to the surface. Looks like a mountain range.

[B]

That's so sad. That's what was going on to my forehead. Okay, don't pick it. Take zinc. The zinc probiotic blend from Faciality that we have on our website is amazing. The clear skin supplements and then you want to use the LED blemish eraser patch or the clear LED mask. Both on our website. Savannah bota.com and then I would do the sulfur mask also. That reminds me, will you log in to Glymed and order me the Serious Action mask and the CBD Micro silver mask? Because I want to try those two out because it's been a long time since I've used them to see if I want to carry them again because I'm getting bored with my mask. I feel like I have like, the same seven.

[A]

What are they called?

[B]

Serious action and CBD Micro Silver. Something like that.

[A]

Oh, the scrub.

[B]

No, it's a mask. Smells like cookies. But I want both of them.

[A]

Just one.

[B]

One of each? Yeah. So I can try them again? Unless you want to try with me, baby boy.

[A]

Can you. I don't know what this means. Can you layer the even tone serum with the clearing serum?

[B]

Can you layer even tone and clearing? Yes, you do. Even tone first and then clearing serum. Looking at these questions too, Please tell.

[A]

Us what you think about Korean and Japanese skincare.

[B]

I don't think it's bad. I think they just really focus on, like, bouncy, plump skin. Not really corrective skincare. So it's really great if that's what you're going for.

[A]

Like, if you got normal skincare and no issues like, yeah, you would play with that. How to be a better boss.

[B]

Listen, care, don't micromanage. Set them up for success. And then don't expect someone to swim when they've never swam before. You know, like, put them in positions that work best for them and meet them where they're at. I think a lot of the times I've had issues with employees is because I tried to get them to do something that they weren't equipped for. And so having them focus on jobs that are what they're good at, they're going to thrive and be happier and it's not going to feel so frustrating.

[A]

How do you balance mom, wife and being the big boss that you are?

[B]

Well, I like role play every day what I want to be. Some days I'm a boss, some days I'm a wife, and some days I'm a mom.

[A]

Just kidding.

[B]

No, I try to balance all of them, but there are days where I'll like let one cup fill more than the other. So like, I'll really focus on like, you know, being there for my team or I'll like really be intentional with Sigh. Which I try to be intentional with him every time I'm with him. But I mean it's, it's hard. Especially with my injury. I feel like I get home and I just like die. Like I've been going to bed at like 7:30 every night. I went to bed last night at 7:45. Isn't that crazy?

[A]

That sounds like a dream.

[B]

I couldn't stay up because if I'm not awake, I'm not in pain.

[A]

That's true.

[B]

Can't feel pain when you're sleeping or dead. So balance though. I think, you know, just trying to prioritize time and be intentional about it. That's what you gotta do.

[A]

If I'm using plated intense lipid serum and Vivid, what order do I do?

[B]

Plated intense, then lipid and then. Yeah, just like that.

[A]

You got it right. Best product for melasma under my eyes.

[B]

Ooh, Vivid brightening serum on our website.

[A]

What helped you grow in the aesthetics industry?

[B]

Being consistent, being fucking hilarious. Dancing and being smart and getting good results.

[A]

How do you feel about microcurrent treatment?

[B]

I think it's temporary. I don't think it's going to hurt anything, but I don't think it's all that it's hyped up to be.

[A]

What are some of the best ways of finding new clients?

[B]

I would say going places. You'd want your ideal clients. So if it's like a boutique that you like to shop at or maybe it's I'm trying to think like a nail salon or your injectors if they're not doing skincare. Cause that's slimy to go shark their clients, but things like that. And then also if you're in a salon suite, go make friends with the hairdresser, the spray tan girl, the lash artist, the brow artist, like make friends with them, trade services with them and they'll start referring their clients to you. It's all about networking. Honestly really? In the beginning as a solo esthetician or just someone trying to find clients. You have to network, go to charity events. Go to events. My face idea was like, what's that ugly face you just made? I was trying to unlock something. Go to events in your community and just get your name out there. Community support is the best. So try to go to all the games. Like, you know, whatever you can do to make friends, talk to people, tell them what you do and they'll start referring you.

[A]

Did you ever post in flowermonkaris for people to come?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

I just didn't know.

[B]

Yeah, that's embarrassing.

[A]

I wonder if I search your name.

[B]

Flowermoncare is like crazy also. Okay, there's this mom on flowermoncares. I would have murdered my mother if she did this to me. I have to show this to you. You're gonna die. She keeps posting her poor teenage daughter that's in high school. She keeps posting pictures of her like this. Like on the ground in a blanket being like, my daughter has the worst period cramps. Like, I need advice. Like, why would you do your daughter so dirty?

[A]

Oh, that's so.

[B]

Like, you know, she's getting roasted at school for that.

[A]

Oh, for sure.

[B]

Like, I'll read it.

[A]

That's so insane.

[B]

My poor girl. She was woken up by horrible cramps again. This is like. This page has like a hundred thousand people on it.

[A]

It does.

[B]

She has them so bad she can't move. She has to lay there for a few minutes for it to pass so she can move. She is 15 and she has had her period for two years now. This is like every month. She has an appointment in November to transition from a pediatrician to pcp. My question is, will the PCP be a better person to help her? I feel so bad for my girly. She's in so much pain. She's on the floor right now. And a cheetah blanket. Poor thing. I know. It hurts really bad. And it's tough for her to show her face because it hurts so bad.

[A]

I was gonna say like, girl, take your. Take her to the doctor. You're doing the right thing. What's on my phone?

[B]

Just posted that anonymously also. And not posted a photo of your daughter.

[A]

Yeah, that's really horrible.

[B]

Yeah, it's not great.

[A]

Where to start when taking virtual clients?

[B]

Where to start?

[A]

I feel like it's not that like you just share online that you're going to start.

[B]

Start virtuals or now do a couple people for free. Hang on, Ty. We're gonna get A cute pick for Instagram. Very cute.

[A]

Set up a Zoom account and send that link over.

[B]

Yeah. But I think, you know, for people to trust you, I think you'd have to do a couple pro bono to get some, like, results and then show.

[A]

Have you ever had a super fan slash stalker.

[B]

Yes. Couple. Yeah. I don't want to say the one because I know she's listening.

[A]

We got to be careful, y'all.

[B]

We have to be so careful.

[A]

But I will say you have had a few people who, you know, would get a virtual consultation or something, and then they would, like, send her, like, 50 questions. Not about their routine, not. Not about their skincare, but, like, personal.

[B]

Like, what brand of tampons do you use?

[A]

Yeah. Or like. Like, how many exact units of Botox do you have?

[B]

In which. I don't think she listens to this, but if she does. Psychotic behavior, Girly pop. Seek help. It was really scary. She went to my injector and was like, I want my face to look exactly like Savannah's. Like, I want you to do exactly what she does. And then she was like, well, your anatomy's different. Like, I can't treat you the same. And she's like, well, I don't want that. Like, I want exactly what Savannah. Savannah has. And then my injector called me and was like, yo, I don't know if you know this, but this girl's, like, being a bit scary. And I was like, yeah. Ahaha. So, yeah, let's not do that.

[A]

Best glymed moisturizer for oily skin. Oxygen.

[B]

Oxygen.

[A]

How to start your own business. When you do not have clients yet.

[B]

You just start and you pray and you work your ass off until you do. Because that is exactly what I did. You just gotta keep going. Boo.

[A]

And that's the thing. And I've said this on the podcast before, but Savannah, regardless of if she had one client or 10 clients, she was at her salon suite for, like, nine hours a day.

[B]

Yes. I gave up my entire 20s.

[A]

Like, even if she had one client that entire day, then she was using that whole day. Not being at home, not rotting. Like, she was making content. She was doing stuff to build the backend. Or marketing.

[B]

I'm always doing stuff, guys. I mean, look at this multitasking queen over here. I'm literally trying to erase a background for this fucking photo. It's so annoying. I never am chill. Ever. Fun fact about me, I've never chilled. Not once.

[A]

Never.

[B]

Not in Almangare, not in Anguilla, not on a boat. I Am constantly on level 37, but that's why I'm successful. You know what? I'd rather be stressed on the beach than stressed and not on the beach. You know I'm gonna be stressed. Just depends where. Ah.

[A]

How to. I don't know, just take a chunk.

[B]

Out of my stomach.

[A]

I don't know if you're qualified for this.

[B]

What? Ask a question.

[A]

How to get rid of hemorrhoids. Nine months postpartum.

[B]

How to get rid of hemorrhoids.

[A]

Okay. Dr. Boda, I know that there is.

[B]

A hemorrhoid cream that I've also heard people use underneath their eyes.

[A]

Oh. For what?

[B]

Helps with dark circles.

[A]

Interesting. The more you know, if you were to use a self tanner, which one would you use?

[B]

Coco and Eve.

[A]

What's your thought on cold plasma treatments?

[B]

I think that they can be really good.

[A]

If you had to pick one cleanser for acne, what would it be?

[B]

Idyllic.

[A]

That's what I was gonna say.

[B]

Was it? Are you just a copycat?

[A]

No, I have acne and I use idealic. So.

[B]

I have acne and I use idealic sometimes.

[A]

Can you use carboxy Mousse and Alpharette together?

[B]

Absolutely. Absolutely. Alpharette first and then carboxy. That shit is crack. And I just gotta say. Ty. Ty.

[A]

Thank you. Wait, let's everyone listen up.

[B]

You know. You know those people that you meet in life that, like, it has to be their idea for them to do it, you know? Or, like, they won't want to do it. Like, if they're like. If you're like, oh, like, you know, I feel like we should go eat, like, Indian food. And then if you're like, samantha, we should go eat Indian food. That I'd be like, no, we should go eat Thai food. But, like, really, you wanted Thai, and you knew if I said I wanted Indian food, then I'd pick Thai food. I feel like that's me sometimes.

[A]

That is Savannah.

[B]

I don't mean to be toxic.

[A]

It's okay.

[B]

But I am a little bit. It's because I used to do that shit. Like when my brother and I would. Like, my mom would get one thing that was green and one was blue, and then my brother would always be like. So if my brother wanted the blue one, he'd be like, I want the green one. Because then I would want the green one if he wanted the green one. Like, I'm sick in the head.

[A]

So what she was trying to say.

[B]

I fear I'm still like, that. Adulthood.

[A]

So what she was Trying to say is that the Carboxymos is, like, newly, like, her favorite product.

[B]

It's so fudgeing good.

[A]

It really is, like, so good.

[B]

It's so good. Like, I. My skin has never been better, and I've only been using it for, like, a month.

[A]

Mm.

[B]

Right? A month.

[A]

Yeah. And let me tell y'all, back when it was still a secret, when she had her really bad forehead burn in Hawaii, I, like, was begging her. Like, y'all don't know the level.

[B]

Use it.

[A]

The level of begging. I was asking her to use this on the burn because her healing would have been chef's kiss.

[B]

Okay. But it still healed with the dead serum.

[A]

It did. It did. It did. How do you get over the fear of what other people think of you posting online so openly?

[B]

They're gonna judge me absolutely no matter what I do. Like, people get mad at me for collecting seashells. People get mad at me for eating coconut delights instead of Samoas. People get mad at me for breathing. People get mad at me for bathing in front of my child. People get mad at me for everything. So.

[A]

And it's something that comes with time, like. Like Savannah, I used to spiral.

[B]

Some days I still do. Like, I'm not going to lie. There are definitely days where, like, it definitely fucks me up. But for the most part, I know that I'm helping more people. So me putting myself out there and sharing what I share, you know, it helps more people than it hurts. And I think more people love me than hate me.

[A]

I think it is true. That is the truth. Don't say, I think there are more people that love you, and the people that hate you are. Because they ain't you, period. Vivid or restored at first. I see it either way on some of the regimens you post.

[B]

Honestly, it does not matter at all, guys.

[A]

It's whatever way the wind is blowing.

[B]

Yeah, I mean, they're both. And that's the thing with both of those products. They're so good with their delivery systems that it does not matter if you do one before the other. It's just personal. Personal pressures. I had really bad anxiety today, so I had to take my.025 lorazepam, which I never take, but it's like, for emergencies, if I have a panic attack. And now I feel fucked up, but it's like the smallest dose.

[A]

Do you feel good?

[B]

It's not even a full one milligram. It's like, point a fourth.025. Yeah.

[A]

Point zero. Point two five.

[B]

Zero point two five. Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

You feel good?

[B]

Yeah, I don't feel anxious. I don't feel like I'm gonna throw up anymore.

[A]

You just feel like.

[B]

I just feel. This is why I don't like taking it, because it makes me less. My anxiety is probably no. Three things that made Savannah Bota the Dallas esthetician. Okay. Anxiety, because you can never stop working because you're anxious and you don't think you're enough ever. So I'd like lump in anxiety with perfectionism, with low self esteem. That bucket. And then parents that don't believe in you trying to prove them right. And then third, I would say a very obsessive personality and competitive personality.

[A]

Derma Roller.

[B]

You don't care. You don't agree.

[A]

I do agree. A thousand percent.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Sometimes, you know, it's. It has its pros and cons.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Because has it made you successful? Absolutely.

[B]

Am I mentally ill?

[A]

Yeah. Yes. Do I wish you had more time to yourself? But that's like her biggest fear.

[B]

Yeah. It's like, if I don't have anything, I'm fucked up. Am I good?

[A]

That's. It Sounded like the CD scratch. Whatever you were just gonna say. Derma Roller, yes or no?

[B]

No.

[A]

No. That's the answer. Year four and it's feeling a little harder. I've always stayed in my lane, but any advice on changes? I don't know. Year four of what, babe? I guess being a solo sd. I don't know. It's hard to answer that question.

[B]

Ask it again.

[A]

Year four and I. It's feeling a little harder. I've always stayed in my lane, but any advice on changes?

[B]

It's very broad.

[A]

Yeah, I know. I don't know.

[B]

But I think one more time.

[A]

Year four and it's feeling a little harder. What? What is feeling harder? I'm not sure. I've always stayed in my lane, but any of my son changes.

[B]

So I think the industry's changed a lot. It is hard to stay in your lane, but changes.

[A]

You're really trying hard to extrapolate the message.

[B]

Yes. What's that word?

[A]

Pull out the meaning.

[B]

Extrapolate.

[A]

Extrapolate.

[B]

I like it.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

That's the word of the week. Extrapolate sounds like something you would do to someone. Like, I want to extrapolate you all the time.

[A]

All the time.

[B]

[A]

[B]

Oh, visualizing your dream life as you shut your eyes. When you start to go into that Zen dream state, that's when manifesting is most powerful. So visualizing, like, whatever it is, whether it's like, your dream spa that you're gonna own One day, or your house or like. Like a relationship. You just picture it exactly how you want it to be. And. Yeah, and then one of my friends told me, and I have not tried this, and it is a little inappropriate, but not as bad as anything else I've ever said. But it's called the O method of manifesting.

[A]

Oh, my God. I was like, I don't know the story. I do know the story.

[B]

So you can put two and two together, basically, either say out loud or visualize in your head what you want at climax. At climax.

[A]

Extrapolate what you will from that.

[B]

Extrapolate it. I've not tried it. Can't tell if. Tell if you. I cannot tell you if it works, but I do visualize my dream life as I drift off to sleep.

[A]

Did you know that while I was doing my deep clean of my room.

[B]

What'd you find?

[A]

I found an ex love letter that I had received.

[B]

Did you burn it?

[A]

No, but I. I was on the phone with Josh and Sarah when I found it. And in this love letter, they were talking about manifesting and how they had manifested because I had known this person for, like, four years. And the method that they had put that they used and that worked was that they wrote my name. Like, when we were in school together in Boston, they wrote my name on a piece of paper and put it in their pillowcase.

[B]

And so that's iconic. I hate that.

[A]

Isn't that so scary?

[B]

No, that's so scary. Oh, my God, that's so scary. That's psychotic.

[A]

That's fat. And I had never read this letter, I don't think, because, like, I had no recollection of ever seeing this.

[B]

Like, maybe like, you blocked it out.

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

That's fucking creepy.

[A]

So maybe you all should try it. Right? Right. Whatever you want. Maybe not a name, you know, maybe that's a bit much, but, like, write your wants and put it in your pillowcase and sleep with the.

[B]

No, I'm scared of that.

[A]

Okay, so this will be our last one for part one, and then we'll move on to part two. Are you planning on having another baby? I think it changes by the week.

[B]

Yeah, I don't know. Maybe. I don't know. We'll see. We shall.

[A]

You're saying, like, the way you're, like, talking about it right now, like, makes it sound like you're pregnant and you're hiding it. You're, like, winking.

[B]

You're like, maybe I am pregnant.

[A]

You're not pregnant. I would know.

[B]

Maybe you're just saying that to throw people off.

[A]

No, she's not pregnant unless you are. You wouldn't keep that from me. But yeah, the way you responded that question was giving I'm pregnant. You're not pregnant. That's why I wanted to point out that you're, like, making it sound like you're pregnant right now. Now everyone's gonna think she's pregnant.

[B]

I want to be pregnant.

[A]

She's too busy to be pregnant, y'all.

[B]

Am I?

[A]

Unfortunately, yes. Okay, well, I think that'll conclude round one. We hope you guys had a wonderful drive to work or, you know, just rotting in bed listening to us and have a wonderful rest of your week. Happy Monday.
