Total clearing is possible. Let’s interrupt the process together!
Hi — I’m Tessa.
After training in San Francisco’s top spas and learning from world class skin specialists like Jan Marini of Jan Marini Skin Research, Douglas Preston, and world-renowned dermatologists, I have developed my own unique clearing method that has helped thousands of acne sufferers. I am a licensed esthetician with 2 acne certifications (Preston Method and FaceReality) and nutrition training through NASM.
My two passions are nutrition and skincare, and it is a dream come true to offer you a unique acne clearing model that truly merges the internal and external causes of acne.
“This is the acne guru. You don’t walk, you run to Tess.” -jan marini
I feel called to help others treat their skin issues because I have struggled with many severe conditions (comedonal acne, rosacea, melasma, and perioral dermatitis.) I truly understand how vulnerable it can feel to be imprisoned by your skin issues, but your current circumstances do not need to define your self-image, or your future. With my help, you will learn to treat and maintain your clearest, strongest, and best skin-ever.
With love and healing always,
Face Reality

My Philosophy
01
I offer top tier cruelty-free + vegan pharmaceutical grade formulas using the purest botanicals, powerful vitamins, antioxidants and extracts nature provides. I embrace new technology to offer some of the most rigorously trialed and innovative skincare solutions available. I avoid harmful, harsh, and ineffective over the counter products to foster sustainable, effective systems for skin wellness.
Pro-tip: If your current routine worked for you, it would be working for you!
02
I offer a slow, “step-up” approach to ingredients by introducing new products one at a time, in several phases to protect the integrity of all skin types and tones. And although serums and masks are incredible, I value creating a strong foundation for your core routine just as much as I appreciate a good active ingredient. I realize our most important and complicated immune organ is our skin.
03
As an acne specialist, and former acne sufferer, I have learned that the ONLY way to keep this cyclical condition managed is to PREVENT it (rather than react to it.) This involves something I call “interrupting the acne process.” I find most clients not only have 5-10 lifestyle triggers, they require a step-up approach to treating the condition where it starts.
04
I understand your skin concerns can affect your self image, daily life, and result in vulnerability. As my client, rest assured you are in capable (virtual) hands and I am committed to seeking out the highest levels of quality assurance for your treatment with me. Whether it’s a consultation, monthly FaceTime facial, or text support, I’m here for you (and your face!)

Our clinical results
“ My skin looks and feels so much better already and I’m starting to feel healthier all around.
She is the sweetest person and really cares so much about helping you in any way that she can. I felt so comfortable during my virtual consult. Tess takes her time making sure she covers everything about your skin/routine. When she sent me my treatment plan I was shocked at how much information she shared to help me! My skin looks and feels so much better already and I’m starting to feel healthier all around. Tess is a magical human being and I’m SO grateful for her!”
