Esthetician Spotlight: Taylee Trimble
There is very little else we love more than meeting aestheticians at the beginning of their carreer, and following them – and having them follow us – as they grow. This is exactly what happened with Taylee Trimble (TT), who our CEO Ada Polla (AP) met when she was at Face Foundrie in Boise Idaho. Since then, she has continued her professional journey and is now working in a medical spa in Idaho Falls. There are many things we love about Taylee – maybe what we love the most is that she masks with her husband (yes, with our Kantic Brightening Moisture Mask of course!). Read more below.
AP:What was your journey to becoming an esthetician?
TT:I used to nanny for an esthetician when I was in high school, and I loved seeing how she was able to have a career she was passionate about while also being a mom. I’ve always loved anything in the beauty industry, but the first time I got a facial, I knew that’s what I wanted to do. I feel like nowadays we’re constantly putting others before ourselves, so I love being able to pamper someone and give them that time for self care and self love. It’s really rewarding to help people feel confident and cared for.
AP:Where do you currently practice?
TT:I’m currently working at Pure Esthetics and Surgical Arts in Idaho Falls, and I’ve been there for five months.
AP:How did you discover Alchimie Forever? What was your first Alchimie Forever product?
TT:Before joining Pure Esthetics, I was working at Face Foundrie in Boise, Idaho, where I was first introduced to Alchimie Forever. I instantly fell in love with the products! The first one I used was the Kantic Brightening Moisture Mask, and I loved how it made my skin feel bright and refreshed it really got me excited about the brand.
AP:What is your favorite Alchimie Forever product and why?
TT:My favorite Alchimie Forever product is the Kantic Brightening Moisture Mask. I love how hydrating and gentle it is, and how it works for anyone’s skin. It leaves your skin looking like glass I’m truly obsessed! I even got my husband to love it too, and it’s our favorite day of the week when we face mask together.
AP:What Alchimie Forever product do you use or recommend the most to clients?
TT:Alchimie Forever products I like to use and recommend are the Kantic Brightening Moisture Mask and the Pigment Perfecting Serum. The mask is hydrating and leaves the skin glowing, and the serum helps brighten and even out skin tone.
AP:What is your #1 skin care recommendation to your clients?
TT:My number one skin recommendation to clients is sunscreen. I always tell them it’s the easiest way to protect their skin, prevent premature aging, and keep it healthy long term. It’s such a simple step, but it makes a huge difference over time.
AP:What’s your skin care hot take/unpopular opinion/controversial idea?
TT:My hot take is that skin sometimes needs to purge before it clears. Everyone’s timeline is different, but it’s totally normal and sticking with your routine usually pays off.
AP:What’s one thing you avoid at all costs when taking care of your skin?
TT:As an esthetician, one thing I avoid at all costs is harsh alcohols in skincare. They can dry out and irritate the skin, so I always recommend gentle, hydrating ingredients that keep skin healthy and happy.
AP:Can you talk about the connection between self care and skin care?
TT:I see skin care as a form of self care. It’s not just about how your skin looks it’s about taking intentional time for yourself. When clients stay consistent with their routine or come in for treatments, they’re prioritizing themselves. I love helping them build simple routines that feel good and boost their confidence.
AP:What is your favorite form of self care?
TT:My favorite form of self care is my nighttime skin care routine. I honestly look forward to it every day; it’s my time to unwind and focus on myself for a few minutes. I love being consistent and seeing the results over time. It makes me feel confident and put together, and it reminds me how important those small daily habits really are.
AP:Take us through your morning routine.
TT:My morning routine starts with my skin care - it’s my way of waking up and setting the tone for the day. I keep it consistent because I believe small habits make a big difference. Then I head to work ready to give my full energy to my clients.
AP:What are you excited about right now?
TT:I’m most excited about continuing to grow and perfect my skills as an esthetician. I love that this industry is always evolving, and there’s always something new to learn. I’m really excited to build strong client relationships and help people feel confident in their skin.
