Hello Everyone!

I’m Alex, the owner and Advanced Licensed Aesthetician of Bare Truth Skincare.

I’m from South Orange, New Jersey, a town 30 minutes from New York City. However, for my love of travel and new adventures, I have spent the last 10 years residing in various states, such as Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Nevada.

Being born with Atopic Dermatitis/ Eczema has led me to have knowledge in skincare at an early start. It comes with struggles, so nourishing the skin is my top priority.

While living in Florida, I had a severe Eczema flareup that resulted in extreme medications and lots of cortisone shots. That treatment was only putting a band-aid on the situation. I needed a different call to action because I wasn't healing. I started looking into alternative ways to help my skin, which snowballed me into looking up the aesthetics and the skin care profession.

During my research, I was interested in changing my treatment plan and venturing down the holistic path with herbs and reiki acupuncture. That's what my body needed; a lifestyle change also helped me see a significant improvement.

A few years later, I bid farewell to Florida and moved to Georgia. Skincare was always on my mind, so I researched many schools that offered an aesthetics program. I found The Elaine Sterling Institute in Sandy Springs, GA, and scheduled a tour.

I enrolled in The Elaine Sterling Institute's 1,000 hr. aesthetics program, and that's truly where it all began. Furthered my education and received certifications in Oncology Skincare, Reiki & Crystal Therapy, Herbalism, Multireflexology,Advance Cosmeceutical Ingredients, Auriculotherapy, and the Zen facelift® technique.

Advanced Aesthetics- IPL, Laser Hair Removal, and Cool Sculpting at the Texas Laser & Aesthetics Training Academy in Austin, Texas.

I understand the struggles you can have with problematic skin and the self-consciousness of it all. I also know that we can heal our skin with the right treatment.

With technology on the rise, the skincare industry is ever-changing. This drives me to seek knowledge and continuing education to ensure I am current with the best treatment plans, products, and modalities available.
