All the HOOPLA

If you’ve been following me on Instagram, then you know I’ve been struggling with my skin lately. Isn’t acne supposed to go away with age, not get worse?

I’ve been having acne that actually hurts and the weather changing hasn’t helped. So, I reached out to HOOPLA Studio—a KC local studio bringing sophisticated fun in the form of manis, pedis, wax, facials, and massage!

I went in for a custom facial, where I was able to share my specific skin concerns (the painful acne along my cheekbones and temples) and typical skin type so Erin, the esthetician, could tailor the facial to my needs.

Let me tell you…it was a dream! It was so relaxing and the multi step process really got in there and cleaned up my problem areas. Within 1-2 days, I already noticed a difference in the clarity of my skin.

I also learned that the type of acne I’ve been experiencing lately is called milia, which is more cyst like than what you typically think of when you think about acne. It really explained why it has been hurting and Erin shared with me how I can treat it going forward. I purchased a product with salicylic acid in it that’s supposed to help with the inflammation.

Also, I relate to one of the owners, Megan, who is a former attorney <3

With three locations in Fairway, Leawood, and Lawrence, I can’t recommend HOOPLA enough for your self-care needs! I can’t wait to go back for another service and try more of what they have to offer!

Have questions about my experience?! Let me know in the comment's!
