Love the skin you're in

Lacey Howell and Shay Rogers

The HBO max docu-series, Not So Pretty, is an exposé of the trillion-dollar cosmetic, beauty and personal care industry. There are many hidden hazards in our daily products, and many are linked cancer. Your skin is your largest organ, after all, so it makes sense to take care of it. Knowledge is power, and after watching the series, I knew I had to go straight to my go-to girl, Shay Rogers of Shay Donna Aesthetics, for an update on what’s really going on in the beauty industry today. The TV show definitely shed some alarming light on simple everyday products. 

Rogers is a master cosmetologist and has been in business for 20 years. She is also a certified medical aesthetician (the study of skin under a medical study or practice), is board certified with micropigmentation (the study of cosmetic tattooing), and she is laser certified and a makeup artist. Shay has been located in downtown Alexander City for almost five years.
