We’re joined today by Essence Moore, licensed esthetician,founder of AraxEssence, and owner of Lineage Studio NYC. With over a decade of experience, has dedicated her career to empowering others through safe, informed self-care. Essence brings her passion for holistic skincare and deep expertise in treating and celebrating Black skin to the conversation. Weexplore not only the science and artistry behind skincare but also how cultural standards of beauty impact self-perception and self-care.

Together, we discuss challenging harmful beauty myths,understanding melanin-rich skin and creating intentional spaces where skincare becomes both empowerment and restoration. Essence shares how her work helps clients reconnect with their skin — and their lineage — while redefining what beauty truly means.
