Hi, I'm Olena
In case you don’t know me, I’m a skin coach, blogger, and YouTuber and have helped tens of thousands of women get clear skin.
My favorite thing in the world is skincare. I’m a bit obsessed…in the best possible way.
Thing is, when I was 13, I developed acne and nobody was able to help me. Not my dermatologist, not my family doctor, no aesthetician…
I realized that it was up to me to find a solution.
So my journey of learning began.
Surprisingly, the subject of skincare was a subject I struggled with for the longest time because nobody knew what they were doing yet they were making recommendations!
The internet was (and still is!) full of conflicting and confusing information, and there is still no consensus even by experts about what to do!
I was determined to learn all the ins and outs of skincare so that nobody could ever mislead me again; no company, no label, no bad advice from the internet.
By following countless terrible tips from the internet and believing the hype and random ass marketing claims (lies!) I literally destroyed my skin in the process.
It wasn’t until I committed to real knowledge (instead of endless googling) that I could figure out how this stuff works.
Over a decade later, I can confidently say that I know skincare.
And I want to help you make sense of the nonsense so that you can have a skincare routine that you can trust won’t ruin your skin…
In fact, I’d like you to have a skincare routine that supports your skin’s healing, allows it to glow, and protects it from environmental damage and inflammation.
I want you to be able to free your mind from worrying about skincare.
Yup, it’s possible.
Unlike most approaches that focus on blaming your diet, your hormones, and make up fake things wrong with you like “leaky gut”, a “toxic liver”, or “hormonal fluctuations”…wasting tons of your time and money chasing your tail while starting to not just hate your skin, BUT YOUR LIFE!
Focusing on improving your skincare routine takes you going to a store and getting some products and then USING them correctly and consistently to enjoy clear, glowy, protected skin.
Sounds simple, right? I wish.
The thing is that it’s extremely easy to fall for crazy claims and marketing when it comes to skincare.
Some people will tell you to use the following:
- honey
- jojoba oil (or any oil!!!)
- baking soda
- apple cider vinegar
- lemon or other foods on your face
- avoid ingredients you can't pronounce
- stop using all skincare and do as the cavemen
- stop wearing makeup (the horror!)
- go on a detox because you're toxic inside (they're idiots!)
This is simply the worst skincare advice you’ll ever hear. Trust me, I’ve been down that road myself, and have seen what it does to many of my client’s skin! Oh the damage!!!
But others might give tell you to use the following….
- R&F (overpriced, irritating, damaging in the long run, and a pyramid scheme!)
- Proactiv (irritating, drying, damaging in the long run!)
- Dr. Brommer's Castille Soap (dehydrates your skin and makes a bacteria orgy!)
- Lush masks or cleansers or creams (clogs and irritates your skin with oils and fragrance!)
- Everything found at Sephora like Kate Somerville, Tata Harper, Origins, Fresh, Dr. Dennis Gross etc (overpriced, irritating, clogging!)
- Dermalogica, ZO, Obagi, and others recommended by aestheticians (overpriced, irritating!)
- expensive brands like La Prairie, Dior, Biologique Recherche, Oumere, Shiseido...
- K-Beauty brands like Sulwhasoo, Klairs, Benton, Glow Recipe, Innisfree...
- drugstore brands like Nivea, Neutrogena, Cetaphil, Pixi, Burt's Bees, Vichy....
- and other poorly formulated products not suitable for human skin!
If any item I mentioned is in your skincare arsenal, then we need to talk.
I got an overwhelming amount of people asking me to tell them what to use on their skin since they see that my own skin and my clients’ skin keeps getting better and better!
And though I wish I could give everyone the same answer, I can’t because it would be irresponsible of me to make recommendations without knowing anything about your skin — and no, an online survey about your skin is simply not enough context.
I created a service for people who are serious about getting a really phenomenal skincare routine that HEALS and PROTECTS your skin. That makes your skin GLOW from health and glory!
It’s called Routine Review!
My skin when I followed bad advice
It's possible to create acne, increased clogging, inflammation, and irritation simply by using the wrong products and following the wrong advice -- which I did.
After learning about skin health
It's also possible to maintain healthy, glowy skin with quality products and know-how. It's in your skin's best interests for you to become way more discerning with who you listen to and what you do.
What's A Routine Review®?
A Routine Review® is a video call with me, where we discuss your skincare routine and figure out which step might be causing an issue/irritation and stalling your progress.
Spoiler alert: it’s often the WHOLE routine.
Before the Routine Review my clients email me their routines and give me some background on their skin situation. This allows me to see what you’ve been using and gain greater context in preparation for our call.
So far, most of my clients have had skincare routines that literally create more acne, rosacea, folliculitis, dermatitis, melasma…
While some clients use great products incorrectly and also stall their progress.
This is where I come in and save the day! 🙂
After the Routine Review where I get a ton of clarity and ask a ton of questions, I am able to compose a new totally healing and protective skincare routine for my you!
You receive a pretty PDF document (usually 9-12 pages) from me about our call, with detailed explanations and instructions, and a totally custom AM and PM skincare routines, order of products, and links to them.
And then you get to implement the new routine without any more guesswork or experimentation and just enjoy watching your skin improve!
So far I’ve worked with clients as young as 11 to mid-sixties!
My clients are from all over the world, from North America, Europe, Australia, Asia, and Africa…
If you need a second opinion on what you’re putting on your skin, then hit me up because I’m super good at what I do. See photos of what’s possible with well-formulated skincare that’s used properly! 
What Clients Are Saying
How Long Does It Take To Heal Your Skin?
Have you ever tried a skincare routine and thought your skin looked good for a while in the beginning, but then after 2-3 months your skin got progressively worse?
Many people attribute this to your skin “getting used to products” but there’s no such thing since your skin is CONSTANTLY regenerating. You are literally creating new skin cells all the time, to the point that you are a new you every month or month and a half.
Damage doesn’t happen overnight.
It takes about 3-4 weeks to just see clogging on a bad routine, but full blown damage takes about 2-3 months because your skin is (luckily!) a very resilient organ and it’s good at protecting you.
If your skin is especially resilient though, you might not see the damage for YEARS.
And one day you wake up to acne, or rosacea, or eczema, or a ton of wrinkles and wonder what happened…
When your skincare choices are not good for your skin, you’ll see your skin get progressively worse.
Damage takes time, but so does healing!
Real healing takes about 2-3 months — which is about 2 skin cycles. For some people it takes even six to twelve months.
My clients see the best transformations around and after the 3 month mark which means that the skincare is working well!
Because the skin just gets better and better and better as it heals, and as the skincare protects it from further damage!
We aim for longterm results that last, not short-term results.
If you visit my Instagram results highlights, you will see client updates 1, 2, 3 years after a Routine Review, and their skin is still amazing.
So if you see people raving about skincare after a week or even a month, this feedback is meaningless. You want to know what happens in 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 2 years…
The results can be truly astounding without any lasers or expensive treatments.
Keep in mind that if you are planning on having clear skin for a big event like a graduation, wedding, photo shoot, then make sure to book a RR at least 6-12 months out.

Skincare matters. Big time.
You might be taking the best possible care of your body, thinking the kindest most loving thoughts, sleeping enough, drinking tons of water (though none of this will clear your skin)…You’ve healed your leaky gut, you’ve balanced all your hormones, you’ve unblocked your chakras, forgiven yourself…
BUT YOU CONTINUE TO BREAK OUT!
How is this possible or fair?
Because a key ingredient is missing: skin CARE.
Your face literally faces external environmental factors like the sun, dust, dirt, impurities, bacteria daily.
If you don’t cleanse properly and leave a film of dirt on your skin, or use a cleanser that’s too alkaline that strips your acid mantle and makes your skin more vulnerable and a breeding ground for bacteria…Then your skin doesn’t stand a chance.
If you don’t properly exfoliate then you create a build-up of dead skin cells that stop your other products from doing much, that clogs your pores…and your skin doesn’t stand a chance.
If you slather your face in pore-slogging, dust and sun-attracting ingredients, or even cytotoxic essential oils…Then your skin doesn’t stand a chance. (Cytotoxic: toxic to living cells. Yes, essential oils literally kill living skin cells. This is scientifically proven.)
If you seal in dryness by applying an emollient instead of using my ultra amazing 3-step moisture method™…then your skin doesn’t stand a chance.
If you skip the sunscreen…then your skin doesn’t stand a chance.
I can go on with countless skincare mistakes that people make. It’s literally possible to CREATE ACNE and other severe skin conditions with improper skincare, and many people do.
They they convince themselves that they’re sick, that it must be the hormones, that it must be inflammation, leaky gut, blocked chakras, childhood traumas…
When you take care of your body, and I mean in the basic sense (not even the super strict way many of us do)…Then your body thrives.
If you’re still breaking out while taking care of yourself then it’s likely your skincare.
With a proper skincare routine skin heals, is protected, is radiant and glowy. Because when skin is cared for properly, its natural state is clear radiance.
So many of my clients come to me with their well-intentioned but ultimately damaging skincare routines…and we re-new them and create new supportive routines — that work.

FAQ
ARE PAYMENT PLANS AVAILABLE?
Of course! Payment plans are available upon checkout, you can choose the best option for you. But paying in full is always the less expensive option.
DO YOU ONLY WORK WITH ACNE?
Skin is skin, and all skin deserves amazing skincare. I work with people with skin conditions like rosacea, melasma, eczema and malassezia folliculitis as well. Skin conditions develop over time, so I work with people with “normal” skin to prevent skin conditions, since prevention is easier than reversal. My clients are as young as 11-65 years old.
DO YOU WORK WITH TEENAGERS?
Of course! My youngest client was 11 years old– the sooner you start taking care of your skin, the better. A parent must be present on the call with a minor though!
DO YOU WORK WITH MEN?
Yes, I work with all people! 🙂
What is included in the routine review document?
The RR PDF is your mini personalized skincare bible, outlining what we discussed on our call, explanations of what we’re using and why, and your AM and PM routine recommendations with links to every product (as well as some bonus material!) 🙂 Please read it carefully, and refer to it as you heal.
DO YOU WORK WITH PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE?
My services are all virtual for the time being. I work with people from all around the world (North America, Europe, Asia, Australia) via video chat during Routine Reviews. If you have access to the internet, then we can work together!
What is "chat support"?
Chat support is for clarity, done via email, and is included in all the RR packages in case something isn’t clear with respect to instructions in the RR document, like how or when to use a product, or product substitution if it isn’t available. Random things can come up. It is NOT about talking about your skin again (that’s what our call is for), and it isn’t about checking in every day, nor emotional support. The time limit is set for your success.
ARE REFUNDs AVAILABLE?
A full refund is available up to 48 hours after your purchase if you haven’t booked your spot yet and changed your mind about working together. If you booked your spot, but changed your mind then you will receive a 75% refund. After the actual Routine Review call, no refunds are available as you are purchasing my time and expertise. Please make sure we are a good fit by reading this page thoroughly and binging some of my content before working with me.
ARE YOU A DERMATOLOGIST?
No, I am not a doctor. The content shared on this website is shared for informational purposes only, and is not intended as medical advice.
This service is about reviewing your routine and helping you choose skincare products that suit and support your skin.
CAN YOU HELP ME WITH MY DIET?
No, I do not tell people what to eat. Here is my latest opinion on the diet and acne connection. The Routine Review is only about skincare: what products you’re currently using, and what products would suit your skin.
CAN SKINCARE HELP WITH DEEP SCARRING?
Skincare can prevent scarring, but if you have deep scars then skincare will not be able to help much in this respect. You still need a well-formulated skincare routine to help support and protect your skin, especially from sun damage that can make scars appear worse.
WILL YOU SHARE MY BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS?
I may use some before after pictures of your transformation but close ups only (or hidden eyes), for your privacy. I would only use a full face photo of you with your permission. These photos show others what is possible!
ARE RESULTS GUARANTEED?
As this is a distance service that requires you to mindfully follow my guidance while also listening to your skin, results are not guaranteed. RRs have the best outcome with the right commitment and mindset. See all the testimonials and feedback!
What if it doesn't work?
I recommend that you don’t work with me if you have any doubts or do not trust this process and expect it to fail. Seriously, please binge my content instead. This service is better for those who are ready to give up their acne identity and work as a team with me and your skin. However, follow-up calls are available to make tweaks to the routine if necessary.
I CAN't DECIDE BETWEEN AN RR OR SKIN QUEEN, which one should I choose?
Well, Routine Reviews are extremely popular with a 4-figure waitlist — spots also sell out within about 20 minutes (the record so far is 12 minutes). Which means that some people wait for a spot for months, while others wait a year or so. So if your skin health is a priority and you’re done waiting, I would recommend enrolling in Skin Queen.
Does skin queen cover other skin conditions besides acne?
Yes, indeed! Skin Queen covers at least 6 different skin conditions, but it also teaches you how to identify them and treat them. If you don’t have a skin condition, but want to prevent damage and premature ageing, then the course will help you there as well. It’s designed to help anyone with skin master their skincare routines.
