I have a love-hate relationship with the sun. I love the sun’s warmth on a bright summer day and watching the sunset over the ocean. What is troubling is the damage it has caused my skin over the years. As an aesthetician who has had skin cancer twice, I know all too well the damage ultraviolet rays cause on skin. Ultraviolet rays can cause damage, including both short-term and long-term effects, but there are preventive measures you can take against sun damage and ingredients and treatments for photoaged skin. 

A licensed aesthetician for over 20 years, owner of My Skin By Michelle in Cypress, Texas, Michelle Esposito wants her clients to get the best experience when they come to see her. She loves to help clients achieve their skin care goals. Her greatest accomplishment is her referrals and reviews. She has had the opportunity to live and work overseas in Southeast Asia and Dubai. This gave her the opportunity to meet different people and experience different cultures. When she is not working, her other passions are working out and traveling.
