Ready To Level Up Your Skincare game?
Hi, I'm Olena
In case you don’t know me, I’m a skin coach, blogger, and YouTuber and have helped thousands of women heal acne, love themselves, and live their dreams.
My favorite thing in the world is skincare. I’m a bit obsessed…in the best possible way.
Thing is, when I was 13, I got a terrible case of acne, and nobody was able to help me. Not my dermatologist, not my family doctor, no aesthetician…
I realized that it was up to me to find a solution. So my journey of learning began.
Unsurprisingly, the subject of skincare was a subject I struggled with for the longest time because nobody knew what they were doing yet they were making recommendations! The internet was (and still is!) full of conflicting and confusing information, and there is still no consensus even by experts about what to do!
I was determined to learn all the ins and outs of skincare so that nobody could ever mislead me again; no company, no label, no bad advice from the internet.
By following countless terrible tips from the internet and believing the hype and random ass marketing claims (lies!) I literally destroyed my skin in the process. It wasn’t until I did my own research with a focus on biology and cosmetic chemistry that I was able to figure out how this stuff works.
Over a decade later, I can confidently say that I know skincare better than anybody.
And I want to help you make sense of the nonsense so that you can have a skincare routine that you can trust won’t ruin your skin…In fact, I’d like you to have a skincare routine that supports your skin’s healing, allows it to glow, and protects it from environmental damage and inflammation.
I want you to be able to free your mind from worrying about skincare.
Yup, it’s possible.
Unlike diet or mindset that take practice and discipline to implement fully, skincare takes you going to a store and getting some products and then USING them consistently to enjoy clear, glowy, protected skin. Sounds simple, right? I wish.
The thing is that it’s extremely easy to fall for crazy claims and marketing when it comes to skincare.
Some people will tell you to use the following:
- honey
- jojoba oil (or any oil!!!)
- baking soda
- apple cider vinegar
- lemon or other foods on your face
- avoid ingredients you can't pronounce
- stop using all skincare and do as the cavemen
- stop wearing makeup (the horror!)
This is simply the worst skincare advice you’ll ever hear. Trust me, I’ve been down that road myself, and have seen what it does to many of my client’s skin! Oh the damage!!!
But others might give tell you to use the following….
- MLM brands like R&F, Monat, BeautyCounter (overpriced, irritating, damaging in the long run!)
- Proactiv (irritating, drying, damaging in the long run!)
- Dr. Brommer's Castille Soap (dehydrates your skin and makes a bacteria orgy!)
- Lush masks or cleansers or creams (clogs and irritates your skin with oils and fragrance!)
- everything found at Sephora like Kate Somerville, Tata Harper, Origins, Fresh, Dr. Dennis Gross, Sunday Riley, Drunk Elephant etc (overpriced, irritating, clogging!
- Dermatologica, ZO, Obagi, and others recommended by aestheticians (overpriced, irritating!)
- expensive brands like La Prairie, Dior, Biologique Recherche, Oumere, Shiseido...
- K-Beauty brands like Sulwhasoo, Klairs, Benton, Glow Recipe, Innisfree...
- drugstore brands like Nivea, Neutrogena, Cetaphil, Pixi, Burt's Bees, Vichy....
- and other poorly formulated products not suitable for human skin!
If any item I mentioned is in your skincare arsenal, then we need to talk.
I’ve been getting an overwhelming amount of people asking me to tell them what to use on their skin since they see that my skin keeps getting better and better, and is now glowier and healthier then ever.
And though I wish I could give everyone the same answer, I can’t because it would be irresponsible of me to make recommendations without knowing anything about your skin — and no, an online survey about your skin is simply not enough context.
So I created a service for people who are serious about getting a really phenomenal skincare routine that HEALS and PROTECTS your skin. That makes your skin GLOW from health and glory!
It’s called Routine Review!
My skin when I followed bad advice
It's possible to create acne, increased clogging, inflammation, and irritation simply by using the wrong products -- which I did.
My skin after I learned about skin health
It's also possible to maintain healthy, glowy skin with quality products -- in fact it's necessary to protect the skin from environmental stressors.

What's A Routine Review?
A Routine Review is a video call with me, where we discuss your skincare routine and figure out which step might be causing an issue/irritation and stalling your progress.
Spoiler alert: it’s often the WHOLE routine.
Before the Routine Review my clients email me all the information I need about their routines, as well as background on their skin situation. This allows me to gain greater context in preparation for our call.
So far, most of my clients have had skincare routines that literally create more acne…While some clients use great products incorrectly and also stall their progress.
This is where I come in and save the day! 🙂
After the Routine Review where I get a ton of clarity and ask a ton of questions, I am able to compose a new, totally supportive and protective skincare routine for you!
You receive a pretty pdf document (usually 8-13 pages) from me about our call, with extremely detailed explanations and instructions, and a totally custom AM and PM skincare routines, order of products, and links to them.
And then you get to implement the new routine without any more guesswork and just enjoy watching your skin improve!
So far I’ve worked with clients as young as 11 to mid-sixties!
My clients are from all over the world, from North America, Europe, Australia, Asia, and Africa…
If you need a second opinion on what you’re putting on your skin, then hit me up because I’m super good at what I do. See photos of what’s possible with skincare!
What Clients Are Saying
How Long Does It Take To Heal Your Skin?
Have you ever tried a skincare routine and thought your skin looked good for a while in the beginning, but then after 2-3 months your skin got progressively worse?
Many people attribute this to your skin “getting used to products” but there’s no such thing since your skin is CONSTANTLY regenerating. You are literally creating new skin cells all the time, to the point that you are a new you every month or month and a half.
Damage doesn’t happen overnight.
It takes about 3-4 weeks to just see minor clogging on a bad routine, but full-blown damage can take about 3-12 months because your skin is (luckily!) a very resilient organ and it’s good at protecting you.
If your skin is especially resilient though, you might not see the damage for YEARS. And one day you wake up to acne, or rosacea, or eczema, or a ton of wrinkles and wonder what happened…
When your skincare choices are not good for your skin, your skin will worsen over time.
So damage takes time, but so does healing!
The early stages of progress happen after about 2-3 months on the new routine, about 2-3 skin cycles. But real progress takes six to twelve months.
Everyone is different, and the goal isn’t speed, it’s skin health.
My clients see the best transformations around and after the 3 month mark which means that the skincare is working well! Because the skin just gets better and better and better as it heals, and as the skincare protects it from further damage!
We aim for longterm results that last. So if you see people raving about skincare after a week or even a month, this feedback is meaningless. You want to know what happens in 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 36 months…
Keep in mind that if you are planning on having clear skin for a big event like a graduation, wedding, photo shoot, then make sure to book a RR at least 6-12 months out.

Skincare matters. Big time.
You might be taking the best possible care of your body, thinking the kindest most loving thoughts, sleeping enough, drinking tons of water…You’ve healed your “leaky gut”, you’ve “balanced all your hormones”, you’ve “unblocked your chakras”, forgiven yourself…
BUT YOU CONTINUE TO BREAK OUT!
How is this possible or fair?
Because a key ingredient is missing: skin CARE.
Your face literally faces external environmental factors like the sun, dust, dirt, impurities, and bacteria daily.
If you don’t cleanse properly and leave a film of dirt on your skin, or use a cleanser that strips your acid mantle and makes your skin more vulnerable and a breeding ground for bacteria…Then your skin doesn’t stand a chance.
If you don’t properly exfoliate then you create a build-up of dead skin cells that stop your other products from doing much, that clogs your pores…and your skin doesn’t stand a chance.
If you slather your face in pore-slogging, dust and sun-attracting oil, or even cytotoxic essential oils…Then your skin doesn’t stand a chance. (Cytotoxic: toxic to living cells. Yes, essential oils literally kill living skin cells. This is scientifically proven.)
If you seal in dryness by applying an emollient instead of using my ultra amazing 3-step moisture method™…then your skin doesn’t stand a chance.
If you skip the sunscreen…then your skin doesn’t stand a chance.
I can go on with countless skincare mistakes that people make. It’s literally possible to CREATE ACNE with improper skincare, and many people do.
They convince themselves that they’re sick, that it must be the hormones, that it must be inflammation, leaky gut, blocked chakras, childhood traumas…
When you take care of your body, and I mean in the basic sense (not even the super strict way many of us do)…Then your body thrives.
But if you’re still breaking out while taking care of yourself then it’s likely your skincare choices or practices.
With a proper skincare routine skin heals, is protected, is radiant and glowy. Because when skin is cared for properly, it’s natural state is clear radiance.
So many of my clients come to me with their well-intentioned but ultimately damaging skincare routines…and we re-new them and create new routines — that work.

FAQ
How do I book an appointment with you?
When will you open up new spots?
I take on a few new clients every month and this all depends on my schedule. Sometimes new spots drop every month, sometimes a couple times a month, sometimes we skip a month. Make sure you’ve completed the application so that you are notified when this happens.
Are payment plans available?
Of course! Payment plans are available upon checkout, you can choose the best option for you. But paying in full is always the less expensive option. Note: Clients who pay in full can book a spot on my calendar immediately, while clients who get a payment plan can book a spot after the package has been fully paid off (2-3 months later depending on the payment plan).
Do you only work with acne?
Skin is skin, and all skin deserves amazing skincare. I work with people with skin conditions like rosacea, melasma, eczema and malassezia folliculitis, etc. Skin conditions develop over time, so I also work with people with “normal” skin to prevent skin conditions, since prevention is easier than reversal. My clients are as young as 11-65 years old.
Do you work with teenagers?
Of course! My youngest client was 11 years old– the sooner you start taking care of your skin, the better. A parent must be present on the call with a minor though!
Do you work with men?
Yes, I work with all people (except skincare professionals or people who share any kind of misinformation online!). 🙂
What is included in the routine review document?
It is a super pretty PDF that goes into great detail about each skincare step, as well as details about why we are using certain products and how and when to apply them. There’s also an AM and PM routine outline with links to every product, as well as some bonus material that’s a surprise! 🙂 Consider this document your own personal skincare bible, and please read it carefully.
Do you work with people in real life?
My services are all virtual for the time being. I work with people from all around the world (North America, Europe, Asia, Australia) via video chat during Routine Reviews. If you have access to the internet, then we can work together!
What is "chat support"?
Chat support is for clarity, done via email, and is included in all the RR packages in case something isn’t clear with respect to instructions in the RR document, like how or when to use a product or product substitution if it isn’t available. Random things can come up. It is NOT about talking about your skin again (that’s what our call is for), nor about checking in daily, emotional support, or hand-holding. The idea is to spend less time on your skin so that your skin has the space to heal.
Are refunds available?
A full refund is available up to 72 hours after your purchase if you haven’t booked your spot yet and changed your mind about working together. If you booked your spot, but changed your mind then you will receive a 75% refund. After the actual Routine Review call, no refunds are available as you are purchasing my time. Please make sure we are a good fit by reading this page thoroughly and binging some of my content before working with me.
Are you a dermatologist?
No, I am not a doctor. The content shared on this website is shared for informational purposes only, and is not intended as medical advice.
This service is about reviewing your routine and helping you choose skincare products that suit your skin and how to use them properly for the best results.
Can you help me with my diet?
No, I do not tell people what to eat. Here is my latest opinion on the diet and acne connection. The Routine Review is only about skincare: what products you’re currently using, and what products would suit your skin.
Can skincare help with deep scarring?
Absolutely not. Skincare can prevent scarring, but if you have deep scars then skincare will not be able to reverse that kind of damage. You still need a well-formulated skincare routine to help support and protect your skin, especially from sun damage that can make scars appear worse.
Will you share my before and after photos?
I may use some before after pictures of your transformation but close ups only, for your privacy. I would only use a full face photo of you with your permission. These photos show others what is possible and help fight the old, outdated narratives and misinformation!
When is the best time to book a follow-up call?
The best time for a follow-up call is 6-12 months after implementing your new routine. If you feel you need more guidance about making tweaks to your routine, then reach out by responding to the RR email and we will coordinate with you (there’s no need to join the waitlist!).
The follow-up call is valid for 12 months after the date of the Routine Review call in the Routine Review Upgrade service. If you don’t use it within 12 months, you can purchase a separate follow-up call when you do need it outside the 12-month time frame.
Are results guaranteed?
As distance is involved in this service and requires you to mindfully follow my guidance while also listening to your skin, results are not guaranteed. RRs have the best outcome with the right commitment and mindset. See the testimonials!
What if it doesn't work?
I recommend that you don’t work with me if you have any doubts or do not trust this process and expect it to fail. Seriously, please binge my content instead. This service is for those who are ready to commit to supporting and protecting their skin. Follow-up calls are available to make tweaks to the routine if necessary.
Respect or bust
I have a 0 tolerance policy for disrespect, manipulation, or emotional immaturity. That means that I reserve the right to fire clients if they cross this boundary with me.
