Farewell Dear Friend.
Seven years ago this amazing and magical woman applied for a job at Dermaspace and changed my life and the lives of many clients forever.
It’s with a heavy and slightly broken heart that I announce the departure of Chanté Robinson.
During the pandemic she decided she wanted to focus on her own practice and opened Earth & Ash Studios in early December and stayed with us on a part time basis. Finally she is at the point where she’s able to focus solely on her own, growing business and we couldn’t be happier for her.
This is a bitter sweet moment for me personally but I am thrilled for her and thankful for everything she brought to the table at Dermaspace.
Growth is good and I send her all my love and best wishes.
Her last day at Dermaspace is July 1st but she will always be part of our family.
Always,
Jody Leon XO
Introducing.....Christopher Coburn
Christopher Coburn, Associate & Licensed Esthetician discovered his passion for skincare by struggling with his own acne and skin concerns during his teenage years. After developing a full understanding of beauty and makeup through working in the performing arts, Christopher decided to take his knowledge to the next level by becoming a licensed esthetician in 2017.
While studying the different modalities of skin care treatments at the School of Botanical and Medicinal Aesthetics in Denver Colorado, he cultivated his skills in order to help others struggling with hormonal acne and other skin related issues in order to benefit clients.
In 2020, after a time working in a traditional spa setting, he decided to relocate to the PNW to focus more on clinical style skin modalities and also the study & art of skin science and product formulation.
His attention to detail and compassion for his clients are just some of the reasons why we are so lucky to have Christopher as part of our DERMASPACE team.

“Double Cleansing” – by Cora Speidel
Have you ever heard of double cleansing?
Double cleansing is a two-part method of cleansing your face. First, with an oil-based cleanser then following with a water-based cleanser. This can help remove irritants, pore clogging impurities, and sunscreen that are sometimes left over after a single wash.
The first step of a double cleanse is using a cleansing oil or balm. The oils help to dissolve the dirt and makeup off of the surface of your skin while not disrupting the lipid barrier to the same extent as a foaming cleanser. This step preconditions the skin and acts as a buffer for the second step.
After gently lathering the oil on your face then you can follow with a normal cleanser which contains more emulsifying ingredients that will remove the oil and debris.
Many of us fear putting oils on our face, especially acne prone skin types. There is no need to worry because the oil washes off with the second cleanse.
Personally, I look for oil cleansers or balms that contain emulsifying ingredients which makes it easier to remove the layer of oil off with the second cleanser.
If you’re still hesitant to use an oil cleanser, there is the option of using micellar water or makeup wipes for the first step of your double cleanse.
Keep in mind, you want to avoid rubbing the skin attempting to remove your makeup or sunscreen as this could be detrimental to your skin.
“From Sea to Face.” By Chanté Robinson
Sea moss is not only a superstar in the kitchen as that power ingredient to add to your smoothies or any meal for that matter, but it also has AH-MAZING benefits for your skin due to its high vitamin and mineral content and ability to help the skin retain moisture. In essence, it’s a hero for your skin and body.
First, let’s get this out of the way, Sea moss is an Irish red seaweed that grows abundantly on the Atlantic shoreline of Ireland. A type of algae, it also goes by the name of Chondrus Crispus.
Facts on facts on facts; ”Irish moss is non-comedogenic, and hydrating and can remedy dry and irritated skin. It contains essential elements that make up the human body; this includes, but is not limited to, calcium, sulfur, magnesium, potassium, vitamin A and vitamin K—all ingredients that help reduce wrinkles, hydrate the skin, and protect from environmental elements. It’s rich in sulfur, antibacterial, antiviral, and antimicrobial functions, and believed to help with balancing the skin microbiome. High amounts of sulfur can decrease sebum production and assist with breakouts. Psoriasis and eczema can benefit from this powerhouse seaweed as well. Other nutrients found are Vitamin A, Omega 3, iodine, and fiber (fiber is a prebiotic which could increase the good flora in the gut)! If you don’t feel like using this on your skin, you can eat it and work on your skin from the inside out while greatly benefiting your entire body.” - Dr. David Jack, Lisa Borg, Cocokind.
I’ve been using sea moss since the beginning of quarantine, and it’s become my favorite daily mask to use morning or night (or sometimes twice a day, shh). I keep it in the refrigerator because I enjoy the cold gel on my skin, and I leave it on until it’s completely dry. I can attest to the healing and unique benefits of this seaweed. It’s helped tremendously with hydration, clarity of my skin, reduction in sebum, and irritation, hyperpigmentation, and significantly reducing the breakouts on my chin from wearing masks.
