New Year, New Skin: Why You Should See a Nurse Practitioner Before Buying Skincare
Kasey Bennett, FNP-BCA new year always brings fresh goals—and for many people, that includes better skin. As a Nurse Practitioner at Hi, Finch, I see a familiar pattern every January: motivated patients head straight to Sephora or Ulta and load up on skincare products before ever speaking with a medical professional.
Here’s my professional advice: wait until after your Hi, Finch appointment.
Your skin is unique, and achieving real, lasting results requires more than trend-driven recommendations or advice from a salesperson. It requires medical knowledge, clinical-grade products, and a personalized approach.
Why a Nurse Practitioner Should Guide Your Skincare
Sales associates are often knowledgeable about the products they sell—but their primary role is still sales. A Nurse Practitioner is trained in skin health, physiology, and evidence-based treatment. When you meet with us at Hi, Finch, we’re not trying to sell you the most products—we’re trying to give you the right products.
During a skincare consultation, we evaluate:
-
Your skin type and concerns (acne, aging, pigmentation, rosacea, sensitivity)
-
Hormonal and lifestyle factors
-
Current products and routines
-
Long-term skin health goals
This level of assessment simply can’t happen in a retail setting.
What “Pharmaceutical-Grade Skincare” Really Means
One of the biggest differences between what you find at Sephora or Ulta and what we offer at Hi, Finch is quality and efficacy.
All Hi, Finch skincare products are pharmaceutical-grade.
That means:
-
Higher concentrations of clinically proven active ingredients
-
Formulations designed for deeper penetration and cellular-level change
-
Strict quality control and medical research backing
-
Real, measurable results—not just temporary glow
Many retail skincare products are cosmeceuticals—they can feel luxurious and offer short-term benefits, but they aren’t designed to truly transform the skin. Pharmaceutical-grade skincare is.
TikTok Trends Aren’t Personalized Skincare
Social media is full of skincare routines that promise perfect skin—but what works for an influencer may not work for you. In fact, using the wrong products or combining actives incorrectly can lead to irritation, breakouts, or long-term damage.
Skincare is not one-size-fits-all.
At Hi, Finch, we tailor a custom skincare routine specifically for your skin’s needs, goals, and tolerance levels. No guesswork. No trend-chasing. Just smart, intentional care guided by a Nurse Practitioner who understands skin at a medical level.
