What would you like our readers to know about your achievements as a Beauty Business Extraordinaire and Esthetician?

Elyse Whisby: I have long had a dream of being an esthetician and beauty professional. Recently, through networking, schooling and hands-on training, I’ve learned what my niche in this industry is. My purpose is to not only help beautify, but to uplift and educate.

What are some of your personal favorite skincare methods and practices?

Elyse Whisby: Over the years of my beauty journey, I have tried many but now I keep it simple. A few of my personal favorite skincare methods and practices include regular exfoliation with organic products as well as hydrating from the inside out. I am a firm believer in practicing what you preach.

What skincare tips would you have for women of color as we change seasons from summer to fall?

Elyse Whisby: My message to Women of color to help maintain their beauty through changing seasons includes yogurt and lemon. Using yogurt in my daily regime as a gentle mask is great for the winter seasons. My next tip would be utilizing lemon, because it has become my solution to blemishes, acne scars, and discoloration. We offer a yogurt and lemon combination that works well with all skin types. Changing seasons can provide new challenges for brown skin such as dehydration and dryness, but these two products have helped me become a brown skin blemish-free naturalista. Ascension by Elyse Spa has a vision that focuses on quality products for better results.
