It’s no secret that the sun is damaging to your health. You’ve heard it time and time again but unfortunately, most people only realize the effects of sun damage once it’s too late. Perhaps their skin suddenly starts showing discoloration or like Lisa Pace, perhaps it’s after having 86 skin cancers removed as a result of her tanning bed usage. But here’s the thing, these aren’t rare cases that you only hear about in the media. Everyone experiences skin damage from the sun if they have not taken proper action to protect themselves from it, with some damage is far worse than others. Although, the worst-case scenarios still aren’t as rare as you may think. And with summer right around the corner, there is no better time to start taking better care of your skin which starts with – you guessed it, properly protecting your skin from the harmful UV rays.
Is The Sun Really That Bad for your Skin?
Everyone has heard of the horror stories associated with UV damage to the skin but yet, many people still choose to turn a blind eye to them with the assumption that, “it won’t happen to me”. Unfortunately, the reality is that it can very well happen to you or to anyone who doesn’t properly protect their skin on a regular basis. In fact, studies have shown that more people are diagnosed with skin cancer each year in the United States than all other cancers combined and one in five Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70. So yes, the sun really is that bad for your skin. Even if you are one of the lucky few that will not develop skin cancer, you are not exempt from other types of sun damage, which I will explain further in just a moment.
How Does The Sun Harm Your Skin?
The sun is damaging to your skin in many ways. In fact, it doesn’t even have to be shining in order for it to penetrate through the thick clouds and right into your skin cells. And that, alone, says a lot about just how powerful it is. Now, imagine what it has been doing to your skin and what it continues to do to your skin as you bask in the sun or frolic on the sandy shores without proper protection. It’s terrifying.
But how does it damage your skin, you ask?
The sun emits incredibly strong UVA and UVB rays that essentially burn your skin cells or in technical terms, damages the fibers in the skin which leads to various types of signs and symptoms, such as wrinkles, sagging or stretching skin, or the many other different types of skin damage which leads me into the next topic…
What Are The Different Types of Sun Damage to the Skin?
Sun exposure can cause a vast array of changes to the skin, many of which people mistaken as a normal part of aging. But don’t be mistaken, no sun damage to the skin is considered “natural”. To help you determine whether you are donning the signs of sun damage, here are the various signs to look for:
Fine and coarse wrinkles
Freckles
Scaly, rough patches of skin
Raised bumps that look like warts
Discolored areas of the skin
A yellow discoloration of the skin
Constantly dry or split lips
Age spots (extra-large freckles)
Benign tumors
Atypical moles
Sun burns
Rosacea (damaged blood vessels under your skin)
Lines, wrinkles or saging skin (destruction of elastic and collagen tissue)
… And just because you may not have some or any of these signs of sun damage today does not mean that you are safe. Sun damage is rarely apparent when you’re young and almost always shows up later in life when the damage has built up. Think of it like this – your skin is the skin on a fruit; you might experience discoloration and minor damage from time to time but eventually, the damage continues to grow and worsen, and the fruit becomes rotten, unless you cut out the damaged parts and take proper action to keep the fruit from exterior harm, such as storing it in a proper temperature, moisture and environment.
How to Repair Sun Damaged Skin?
It isn’t all-downhill from here, though. The first step to protecting your skin from further damage is to educate yourself on the topic and you’re here doing that right now. Good for you.
The next step is to learn the various ways you can prevent further sun damage to your skin and help repair the damage that has been done. As a Licensed New Hamshire Aesthetician and Makeup Artist, here are the professional recommendations I give to clients who are looking to prevent and repair their skin from sun damage:
Improve discoloration by using skincare that have ingredients that help reduce inflammation and contain powerful anti oxidants to help reduce the damaging effects of the sun. A few of my favorites at Anika Skincare and Makeup are the following:

How to Protect Your Skin from the Sun
Treating your current sun damage is a great place to start but it won’t mean anything if you don’t take the proper steps towards prevent future sun damage. Below is a list of ways to protect your skin from the sun.
Be Weary of Dangerous Chemicals in SPF Sun Screens
In a perfect world, all sun screen products would be created to provide the wearer with optimal health and protection. Unfortunately, many of them are full of harmful chemicals that include, but are not limited to things such as oxybenzone, avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, octinoxate and homosalate. What may shock you is that it isn’t just “low end” cheap sunscreen products that have these types of chemicals in them. In fact, if you were to go grab a sunscreen bottle in your house right now, chances are you’ll find at least one of these chemicals in the ingredient list. So, although these sunscreens may provide you with protection from sun, they are causing you harm in many other ways that can cause similar, if not worse damage.
Now, mineral sunscreens are often the better option with many of these including ingredients such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
I suggest using Suntegrity which has 100% natural, non nano zinc oxide, organic, safe ingredients sun lotions. You get the sun protection you’re looking for without subjecting your health to other problems.
Use a Natural, Organic Sun Screen
With the prior mentioned, it’s imperative to not only wear sunscreen but to wear an natural sunscreen to ensure you aren’t lathering your skin with harmful chemicals. Suntegrity offers a premium line of natural sunscreen products, from non-toxic SPF moisturizer to natural organic moisturizing face sunscreen, natural SPF lipsticks and more.

Makeup Tips for Sun Damage
The best makeup tips for preventing sun damage are the ones that don’t add an extra step into your morning regime.

Instead, swap out your regular makeup products for SPF makeup products – lipsticks, mineral powders, eye shadows, facial primers, moisturizers and coverup that has SPF added into the formula.

TIZO Mineral Sunscreens are made with ingredients that are formulated to feel soft and light.
Best Ingredients:
All TIZO Mineral Sunscreen are made with raw materials that are “best available”, meaning they are medical grade quality.
Free of:
All chemical sunscreen filters, dyes, parabens, gluten, phthalates, preservatives.
UVA/UVB Reflection:
Mineral sunscreen filters reflect UVA and UVB rays away from the skin, whereas chemical sunscreen filters absorb those rays.
Versatile for All Skin Types and Tones:

Lays on top of the skin:
Mineral sunscreen ingredients lay on top of the skin. Some chemical sunscreen ingredients have been proven to absorb into the skin and bloodstream.
Mineral is G.R.A.S.E.:
Per the new proposed FDA sunscreen regulations, only mineral sunscreen ingredients zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are G.R.A.S.E. (Generally Recognized As Safe and Effective). The 12 chemical sunscreen ingredients currently in use in the United States have insufficient data to make a positive G.R.A.S.E. determination. The FDA is requesting that additional testing be done on all 12 chemical ingredients.
Reef Safe:
Mineral sunscreen ingredients are reef friendly. Although the only two ingredients have been banned in Hawaii and Key West are oxybenzone and octinoxate, we believe that the safest option for our earth is to choose a mineral sunscreen.

Allow application to dry for several minutes before dressing. To avoid discoloring palms, wash hands with soap and water immediately after use. Wait at least 8 hours before showering, shaving and sweating to allow tan to fully develop. To maintain tan, moisturize and exfoliate regularly and re-apply 1-2 times a week. Apply SPF if exposing skin to sun.

Key Ingredients
A main component of the formula, Ceramide III reinforces the skin’s natural protective lipid barrier, helping the skin retain moisture. Ceramide III supports the renewal of skin cells.
Extracted from plants and olives, this component rapidly penetrates the skin. Once it has absorbed fully, it acts as an antioxidant and promotes cell growth. Overtime, it is also known to prevent UV damage and the formation of age spots.
This healing extract nurtures and repairs damaged skin cells by stimulating the production of healthier, newer skin cells while reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Rosehip extract also helps reduce the appearance of scars overtime.
In the journey for flawless, youthful skin, people have explored numerous skincare treatments and therapies over the years. Among the latest innovations, LED green light therapy has emerged as a game-changer in the beauty industry.
Anika Beauty has embraced this groundbreaking technology to offer an exclusive treatment that can transform your skin.

Understanding LED Green Light Therapy
LED light therapy has gained immense popularity in recent years due to its non-invasive nature and impressive results. Among the various colors of LED light used for therapy, green light is a standout when it comes to addressing specific skincare concerns. LED green light therapy primarily targets skin rejuvenation, pigmentation issues, and overall complexion improvement.
Benefits of LED Green Light Therapy
Skin Rejuvenation: LED green light therapy stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins responsible for maintaining skin’s elasticity and firmness. As a result, it can reduce fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a more youthful appearance.
Lightens Sun-Damaged Skin: If you’ve spent years under the sun, you might have developed sunspots or uneven skin tone. LED green light therapy helps fade these imperfections, leaving your skin looking clearer and more even-toned.
Complexion Brightening: The treatment effectively reduces hyperpigmentation, redness, and inflammation, resulting in a brighter and more radiant complexion.

The Pure Essentials skin care line is truly fantastic. As a consumer who cares deeply about the quality of ingredients I put in and on my body, I love these products. Not only does my skin look and feel fantastic after using them, but I also know that I’m using safe, high quality ingredients that will truly nourish my skin.
In just a few weeks of using these products, I have noticed that the darker spots on my face have lightened, my skin tone is more even, and the circles under my eyes have faded. I would recommend Pure Essentials to anyone who really cares about their skin and the quality of the products they use! I’d also recommend getting a personal consult from Teresa herself. Not only is she a lovely person, but she’s also very knowledgeable about individualized skin care.

I am sorry this is a longer review but well worth reading.
I am so appreciative of finding Teresa. She is a rare gem in her field. I found Teresa after a horrifying appt at a Med Spa type facility. They sat me in a chair, looked at my skin from across the room and suggested treatments that were scary chemical peels needing time off work and light therapy. I am on a photosensitive medication. When I asked if that would make a difference, they said they weren’t sure. I could talk to my doctor. The whole appointment took less than 10 minutes. I never went back.I googled Natural Skin Care and found Teresa who is a knowledgeable and caring professional in Skin Care. There aren’t words to express how happyappreciative and blessed I feel to have found Teresa.My first visit with Teresa, she sat and talked to me about concerns, medications and medical history. Teresa immediately said with that medication, I am sorry, but, light therapy is not an option for you. She then actually looked at my skin in bright light up close with a mask on. She did a Lift MD Microcurrent Facial and then we set up a skin care regimen that I love. It is easy to use and practical so I actually use it twice a day…and the results are amazing. I also booked twelve sessions of Lift MD Microcurrent Facials. I just recently completed and the results were also amazing.Once I completed the Lift MD Microcurrent Facials, I had Teresa do my makeup.I went into Teresa hating looking in the mirror and seeing old, tired, dull, saggy skin with sun spots. Now, I see more revitalized skin, with a lot less sagging and less noticeable sun spots. Teresa took the time to show me how and WHY I needed to do my makeup a certain way. The results were…well…amazing. She also sent me home with pics of faces that she had added what products to use where. I use them to do my makeup at home.When I think of all the skin care products and makeup products I have bought and thrown away over the years, I am thrilled to know that when I am having a skin issue or need a change of color for makeup, it will be right for me and not need to be thrown out because of Teresa’s expertise. I will save money and help the environment as well. Both are important to me.I started this journey because my only son is getting married in July 2022. I did not want to have old, tired, dull, saggy skin with sun spots. I can’t thank Teresa enough because I know I will look fabulous because of Teresa’ s knowledgeable and caring approach.
No matter what age, no matter what issue, do yourself a favor and invest in yourself by calling Teresa for an appointment. She will work with everyone’s budget.When you do ask her to show you Maureen’s before and after pictures. You will be embarking on a long lasting beauty relationship with a caring professional and awesome results all the time. Enjoy your journey

Teresa is amazing! I am so happy that I found her. She knows skincare!! She took time to listen to my concerns and offered services and products to help. I look forward to my appointments because she is so positive and happy. I always leave her place feeling relaxed and revitalized. After a series of services and consistent routine with the high quality products she recommended, I started receiving compliments from friends, co-workers and even my brother! I will continue to be a client here. The results are worth it.

I have been a client of Anika Skincare for many years. Teresa is highly professional, knowledgeable and ethical. The products she uses are high quality. I recently tried the Micro Current treatment. The difference in my skin was night and day. My skin changed from being dull and saggy to more vibrant and firmer. For me this lasted about three weeks. I felt more confident and attractive. One of my friends even commented on how much younger I was looking two days after the treatment. I highly recommend this treatment. It’s pleasant and relaxing. The results are amazing.

Teresa, the owner of Anika Beauty is an absolute doll. She is very professional and knowledgeable.I wanted to have my skin tags and cherry angiomas remove for years but never found anyone that would do this procedure. So I booked a consultation with Teresa. She listened to my concerns and answered all my questions before starting any procedure.She explained the procedure and used her Thermo Clear machine to do the removal of my skin tags and cherry angiomas. She was so caring and conscientious of my skin type, which could react very sensitively to and any treatment.She took the perfect precautions to find the appropriate laser setting that would maximize the results. Nonetheless, I am Extremely happy with my results and the all-around experience.I do have to say that her salon is so cute, very comfortable and Super Clean. Highly recommend Anika Beauty!!!
I will definitely be back and have started to tell all my family and friends about Anika Beauty!

I just had my second appointment with Theresa for acne that I’ve been dealing with for over three years. I finally feel like I’m on the right path to clearer skin! Theresa is an expert and truly cares about her clients. She goes above and beyond to make sure the client is comfortable. She makes sure the client is clear on the at – home – recommendations and always encourages questions and communication. Highly recommend!!

Teresa is so amazing!! She is such a sweetheart and every time I go to see her I leave feeling so happy because her positive energy is so contagious. I struggled with some breakouts for a while and I tried product after product and nothing seemed to work. After seeing Teresa, she had me start using some products for acne under her essential skincare line. Within days my skin started looking better. I’ve been using the products for a little over two months now and I have seen such a major difference in my skin. I would recommend Teresa’s services and products to anyone, she is the absolute best!!

Teresa is an extremely knowledgeable and amazing lady! She is always a pleasure to work with. I have been using the Essential Dermaceuticals cleanser and Calm Creme on my very sensitive skin and I can see significant improvements in my skin’s complexion.
Gina had also done a makeup application for me and I absolutely loved the way it came out! She did an amazing job.
Amanda Sampo– Google review
Teresa has not only changed my skin but also my lifestyle! I have dealt with acne for about 8 years now and could never figure out how to change it, even though I tried so many things. With not only help with skin care she has also helped me with my diet and other habits. I have never seen results with the products I have used in the past like Teresa’s products! These products and changing my lifestyle habits have really helped me and I can finally say I am confident in my own skin. Every time I go see Teresa she always has something so interesting and so helpful to tell me. I am truly grateful and thankful that I have Teresa!

And the Essential Dermaceutical products are even better than RX topicals I have tried.Anikas is very clean, professional and friendly. I would highly recommend.
Christine Fox – Google review
I love Anika Skin Care and Makeup. I cannot say enough about Teresa and the products she has created and offers. I wholeheartedly trust Teresa. She is an expert–deeply knowledgeable, a professional, and a kind, caring person. Teresa’s approach is one about wellbeing which is shown in her care and services as well as her high quality products. I highly value her natural approach with safe, non-toxic products. I keep going back and keep buying her products because I notice the results of improved, healthier skin. She has helped me with eczema around my eyes — which transformed my life. I was treating it with chemicals and getting no where and when I saw Teresa about it, she got me to feel “normal” again without the itching and irritation. I am deeply thankful for all that Teresa has done. Thank you, Teresa!

I first went to Teresa with low self confidence and persistent, painful acne and scarring covering my face. I had tried everything to clear my acne and nothing worked until I went to see Teresa. Her caring personality made me immediately feel comfortable, and I could tell she really had the knowledge to fix my problem. I continued to see her for 8 weeks with the LED phototherapy facials and chemical peels, and it was the best thing I could’ve done for myself. Teresa gave me my confidence back by giving me the clear skin I never thought I would have again and made me feel comfortable every step of the way.

As a user of Teresa’s skin care products for many years, I can say my skin has never looked better. I have lots of sun damage and I have seen a definite improvement in my skin because of the products Teresa recommends for me. Recently, I was diagnosed with lichen planus on my leg. This is a stubborn rash that is difficult to heal with strong cortisone creams according to my Doctor. I applied Ulta Barrier Protection Balm to the rash a few times a day and I can’t believe the improvement within weeks! You can’t find better natural skin care products anywhere.

I recently had an anti-aging facial at Anika Skin Care. The whole experience from start to finish was phenomenal!! Teresa’s vast knowledge of skin care surpasses anyone I’ve ever been to. Every treatment she provides is custom fit to meet your specific concerns and skin type. I went in that day with tired, sagging skin and left with a new face!! When I looked in the mirror afterwards I was amazed; not only did my skin have the most beautiful glowing color but I also saw a noticeable firmness and tightening that I didn’t even think was possible after just one treatment! I highly recommend – you won’t be disappointed!

I cannot say enough good things about Teresa! My skin was terribly irritated, with very dry eczema like spots in several places on my face. I was discouraged and feeling terrible about myself. I have now been going to Teresa for several weeks, following her advice, using her excellent products, and getting treatments from her. She is very knowledgeable, and has provided me with guidance that goes far beyond my skin. My skin is SO much better and I am so thankful to Teresa for that! I will continue down this path of healing with Teresa, not only because my skin is remarkably better, but because Teresa is a wonderful, kind person who truly cares about the people she helps.
Christine House– Google & Yelp Review
I have had trouble with acne since I was a teenager. I have tried birth control, antibiotics, retin-a, dermatologists, and several skincare professionals, but nothing has worked. Teresa at Anika Skincare has been my savior! All of my acne is completely gone! Absolutely life changing!

I have been a client for about 5 years, best facials I have ever had. Teresa is so knowledgeable and she takes the time to constantly update my skin care as I age. Because of her my skin looks and feels younger than I am! I highly recommend her! She deserves more than 5 stars!

I highly recommend Teresa Paquin and Anika Skincare. Teresa is extremely knowledgable and experienced about skincare. She is very caring and truly wants to help her clients heal and improve their skin. The Anika Skincare products and makeup feel wonderful on the skin and contain ingredients that truly nourish and hydrate your skin.

Teresa is very sweet and professional. She is extremely knowledgeable about skin care and treatments. I went in for a sun spot on my face and she has been treating it, it’s almost gone now, and still fading. I recommend this salon to everyone.

Had an amazing massage from Connie and then a perfect eyebrow wax with Teresa today! The new location is beautiful, relaxing, spotless and professional! We can all use a little pampering right now and I highly recommend you book a session! This week they have great promotions during their grand opening week!

Anika beauty is the best!!! Teresa is amazing and will do everything she can to help your needs. She is very experienced in what she does and knows exactly what your skin needs!!! Her customer service goes above and beyond everytime. Everyone of the products I have used from Anika beauty is nothing like anything have ever tried before. I’ve struggled with acne for a long time and on top of that I have super sensitive skin. I’ve never found any products in the past actually worked. I might have seen very little results but then it would dry my skin or make my skin oily or I would break out even more. Not with Anika Beauty!!! Teresa has everything I needed for my skin and for that I am so very thankful. If you’ve ever struggled with acne you know how hard it can be at times in so many different ways. I felt gross at times and my confidence was so low. I will forever be grateful for Anika Beauty. Thank you for everything Teresa!!!
Tracy Hollinger Google review
Anika Skin Care is amazing. Teresa is extremely knowledgeable in both skin care and makeup. She is committed to using products that do not contain any harmful ingredients and she takes the time to research and test these products. Teresa genuinely cares about each individual client and will go to great lengths to determine the best products and treatments for that client’s specific skin care needs. You will love every treatment and the results! Highly recommend!

I have been a customer of Anika for 3 years now and I cannot explain the difference in my skin! The treatments and entire skin care line is absolutely amazing! Teresa is so very knowledgeable to say the very least! She has so many amazing ideas and knows so much about being healthy from the inside out!!

Seeing Teresa at Anika Skin Care & Makeup is always my personal treat. Teresa is a wealth of knowledge in regards to skin care and I always learn something new when I visit her even after the 10+ years I have seen her. Even with my world traveling, I always make a point to schedule a facial with Teresa when I’m home; leaving ready to take on my next adventure. She has seen me through my severe high school acne years and I am so grateful. I am also in love with all the products she carries and I can trust they are the highest quality. Thank you Teresa!

My first visit with Theresa at Anika Skincare was a year ago. I went in for a facial before Easter and I walked out with my skin looking and feeling great. I was impressed with Theresa’s knowledge and the products she created. She listens and has a very caring and calming attitude. My very sensitive skin has never been better. Theresa’s essential products are natural and do NOT irritate my skin. My skin has never been better and I am so pleased that I found her. I have spent too much time and money on other products that never worked or irritated my skin. l highly recommend her. You will not be disappointed.
Jamie Lynn Weymouth- Salem, NH
I have struggled with breakouts for the last number of years and have been hesitant to try too many things and spend crazy amounts of money trying everything under the sun. After following the business on FB for 6-8 months I finally reached out to Teresa. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable, she takes the time to talk with you, understand your habits and give you a holistic approach to your skincare. It’s the first time I worked with someone who I felt cared more about my skin and well being then about selling their products. Her recommendations and product lines have started to transform my skin. My breakouts are less frequent and less severe since starting on the skincare regiment about 4-6 weeks ago. I’m so thankful to have found Teresa and plan to utilize more of her products and services as I transition to a better skincare routine!
Venessa Jacques – Hudson, NH
Teresa is amazing! She is so sweet and caring, and because of her my skin has never felt or looked better . I went to her for having mostly hormonal acne and she gave me her all natural products and my skin cleared up beautifully ! I’m so happy with my results, and I’m sure anyone who sees Teresa will be as satisfied as I am 🙂
Teresa from the moment I walked in you made me feel welcomed.. Your calm nature, the way you listen to see what my needs and concerns were was spot on…The products had such a soothing aroma and the gentle touch made my facial experience Superb..I walked in feeling dull and walked out glowing !!! Started using the products this morning and its so easy..Can’t wait to my next facial and learn more about what you have to offer..
Hope you are having a Great Day !!! 🙂

My name is Stacee Akins. I am a Certified Holistic Nutrition Consultant and I love and use Pure Essentials Natural Skin Care by Teresa Paquin. These are wonderful, effective and thoughtfully formulated products. I especially like that the ingredients in the formulas are sourced from botanicals and are plant-based. This is a great line of skin care and I enthusiastically endorse it!
Rachel Leo Flagg – Londonderry, NH
Teresa recommended that I use the Triple R Serum for my hyperpigmention, and fine lines that I have been noticing. I have used it for more than a month now and love it!!! As with all of Teresa’s products the ingredients are the very best and she targets ones that truly work. Having sold skin care years ago I am aware of what to look for when when buying products. Teresa has certainly gone above and beyond when doing research about ingredients and formulating her products. This serum has everything I was looking for in a product! DMAE is awesome for firming the skin and it actually works! Hyaluronic Acid is one ingredient that should be in EVERY skin care product. Vitamin C, CoQ10, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin B3 are all such wonderful anti-aging ingredients for your skin! If you compare her products with others on the market you will find Teresa’s to be all natural and formulated to be truly beneficial and getting you the results you are looking for, as opposed to other skin care companies that have ingredients in them that really have no benefit or could be harmful. Also, her price points are affordable too! Serums that contain the same ingredients sell for almost $100 plus. You cant go wrong with any of her products! Thank you Teresa! I am loving my skin!
Cindy M. – Hudson, NH
Teresa Is one of a kind! I met her about a year ago and was so impressed with her knowledge of skincare. I never really thought about how important certain ingredients were when it came to parabens, gluten and other funky chemicals that are in most skincare lines. I have been using her skincare line for a year now and absolutely LOVE them!! Both of my daughters have had issues with their skin (acne, eczema) and every time I go to her about what I should do she has the answer. Her skincare line has something for everyone and they work!! I have never felt so confident in a product line as I feel for hers. Your skin is so worth the price of buying good quality skincare. I 100% recommend Teresa and her products!!!!!
MD, from Lexington, MA- 5 Star Yelp review
Teresa is awesome! I called to place a skincare order and she was super receptive and knowledgeable about my skin type and even threw in some samples with my order. Not to mention she shipped out my order immediately and I received it next day! Now that’s customer service! I only wish I was located closer to visit her for treatments!

Theresa offers so many great products as well as many services. She is a professional and very knowledgeable. Very sweet and caring!
I am so happy I came across Teresa’s site! She has been super helpful between texts and phone calls. I finally found a skincare line that works for my sensitive rosacea skin.
Teresa is amazing at diagnosing skin condition, my skin is so much smoother and more hydrated since I have been using the products she recommended.
Ellen Quennenville- Litchfield, NH
I have been using Pure Essentials for about a year and absolutely love them. I have used a few different well known brands through the years and these are far superior by far. You don’t need an extensive regimen to see improvements in your skin. My skin has never looked better and I have not had one blemish in over a year. Teresa is so wonderful and concerned about what is the best for your skin. I highly recommend these products.
Mark Steadman- Nashua, NH
I have been using the anti-aging serum and triple R for about 2 months. People tell me my face looks younger, and I have to agree! There are a million products out there, we all know that. Pure Essentials is made from the best all-natural ingredients…Teresa has a passion about natural skin care, and I am sticking with these products. Try them yourself! By the way, I’m a 54 year old guy.
I have been using Pure Essentials Natural Skincare products for almost a year and I’m very pleased. Because I have sensitive skin I’m extremely cautious as to what I put on my skin. I have tried many products but have been unsatisfied. Since I’ve been using Pure Essentials Natural Skincare products I’ve noticed a difference in my skin appearance and others have complimented. The Pure Essential Facial Oil hydrates my skin, doesn’t irritate it and my face feels baby smooth. I love the scent, I apply it before I go to bed and it relaxes me. I highly recommend this product line. I highly recommend any of these great products.
Amanda Bowes Joransen –Fishers, Indiana

Mark Buckawicki
Terrific guest service is the best way I can describe my experience with Teresa. I use the word guest intentionally because that how Teresa made me feel during the purchase process. My sweetheart LOVES Pure Essentials Natural Skin Care and I, not knowing much about skin care products but needing to select the ideal gift, was delightfully walked through all of the necessary information with Teresa. I came away with the perfect gifts for my girl and a higher understanding of premium skin care products. Thank you Teresa.
Wendy Jacoby – Leominster, MA
I recently received a facial,And All I can say is Wow, My skin was Glowing afterwards. Teresa is very knowledgeable about ingredients which is essential in knowing what you are putting on your skin. She is also extremely careful in watching your skin and seeing how it responds to treatments. I love her chair you sit in too! Super comfy. I believe she is the best in New England when it comes to doing her research on what will give you results. She is very Professional and really cares about your skin more than you do 🙂 She is goal oriented and helps you put the best plan together for you and your skin to make it as youthful and glowing as it should! I highly recommend her!
Judith Stanford – Westford, MA I have been using Pure Essentials Anti-Aging Serum for three years now. During that time, I have had no recurrence of the mild (but annoying) excema that I had previously experienced for many years. In the past, I had to use cortisone cream every four or five weeks to keep this condition controlled. Now, I am med-free, and I think my skin looks very good for my age (early 70’s). Thanks, Teresa!
Ruth Clay – Reading MA – Cannot say enough good things about Teresa’s skincare and her all natural products. My skin had never looked or felt this great! She really knows what’s right for each individual person and tailors your facial accordingly- no mass produced facials here! Worth the drive!
Eileen Bowes- Nasua, NH
I love these products! I have been using Pure Essentials for the past couple of years and love the way my skin looks and feels. When I run into “old friends” whom I have not seen in years, they always commeny “You never change!” I say thank you to Anika and Pure Essentials products! 🙂
Gail Morello- Nashua, NH

Gale Cogan – Boston, MA
Accolades to Teresa Paquin and her skin care. I have been seeing her for at least ten years. (I move to wherever she moves.)
Am in my eighties now, but constantly told that I look much younger…that is due, I firmly believe, to her wonderful knowledge of skin and its varying conditions and then ensuing remedies.
She is a miracle…knowledgable, friendly, caring.
We have recently starting working on my neck area and the results have been amazing!!!!! I repeat…….to me she is a magician…and the best ever.

Patricia G Dunegan-
Yesterday I got a terrific facial from Teresa — my first from her. I’m a convert! I’ve had many, many facials before, and this was one of the top 3 in my book! She knows how to treat aging, sensitive skin, and I walked out looking better than I had in years.
Lisa Guidi McKenna, SC
I started using this skin care line 3 weeks ago and already notice a tightening in my skin and complete moisture without my skin feeling so heavy and greasy like some skin care products I have used in the past. I love that Teresa created an all natural line using all the essential oils that are so good for our skin. Teresa is such a knowledgeable skin care expert. I would highly recommend this skin care line to anyone who wants to see immediate results!!!
Linda Jacques, Hudson, NH

Shanna Strand LaFontaine, NH
I have always had extremely sensitive skin. In fact, I can’t wear eye shadow because it makes my eyes swell and become so red and irritated. I have tried hypoallergenic products but my eyes are still too sensitive. I was very reluctant to try your Anti-Aging Eye Product but I do suffer from allergies, which often leave the skin under my eyes puffy, dark, and swollen. I knew that I wanted to try something to help me with these symptoms. However, I had no idea that this product would have such a positive, immediate, and exciting result!! Not ony did it remove the puffiness under my eyes, but it also removed the dark circles under my eyes. I am so impressed that I have used it every day since. I am so pleased because this is a product that is all natural with only the finest ingredients. I just wanted to thank you. I hope that you can share my testimony with others. I have also started to use the Anti-Aging Serum for my face, hoping that it will also continue with the positive results that I have seen.
Jenn Meyer- Online Customer Google review:Got a package full of goodies from Anika’s!. Very easy to order everything on the website. I was suprised at how fast I received the order ( faster than some of my Amazon Prime orders these days). I’ve had a week to try out new and repeat product’s. The anti-aging cleanser and creme are my go to ‘s for daily. I’m loving the Ceramide -C . Trying out some of the lipgloss abd the lipsticks, I like the eco friendly packaging. And the diffuser necklace is a delight, I’m using orange oil and the necklace sits right in the heart Chakra. As alwasy there’s samples of new products that are always good. I’ve been ordering online from Anika’s for some time now and absolutley love the high quality and care that goes into all the products. A++
Cindy –I’ve been using these products for a month and my rosacea is so improved I don’t need my rx cream! My skin is soft and smooth.

Phuong Le, NH ( Pure Essentials product review) I totally love it ! It’s great ! Thanks Teresa
Katie Forget, Milford, NH I love the way my skin feels !! 🙂
Jennifer Shaw McComas, Nashua , NH-I have been using Pure Essentials for about 3 months now, and these products have made such a difference in the tone and texture of my skin. Recently I have been using the Renewal Serum and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this product. I particularly like the consistency, it is very silky and blends nicely into the skin. I am using it with the Anti-Aging moisturizer, and at this point I don’t even have to wear makeup – my skin tone is just that good! Most folks can’t tell when I am wearing a foundation they don’t notice a difference. One other huge benefit that I have noted in the last couple of months is a decrease in breakouts, this is not common for me particularly around this time of year.
Patricia Mackey – Nashua, NH – Great product. I love how my skin feels and look amazing!!!’
Jeanne Costello – Maine Anika Skincare offers great products locally made with the best healthiest ingredients. My favorite is the Anti Aging Serum, I love that one. Thank you Teresa for making these products available

Teresa Paquin Anika Skincare Tips for Acne – Lifestyle Things that affect acne clear Lifestyle Choices Affecting AcneIf you are someone who struggles with acne and are looking for other ways to help clear your skin, take a look at the following lifestyle choices that affect acne and see if you can make any changes in your own life. LaundryAvoid using fabric softener in the washer and /or the dryer ( no dryer sheets). The waxy residue gets on the pillowcases, towels, wash clothes and sheets that have direct contact with skin. This residue can clog the pores of acne-prone individuals. If you want something to stop static cling in your dryer, you can get anti- static balls at Bed Bath and Beyond, Target or on-line.Avoid using detergents with fragrance because they can cause skin irritation. It is best to use fragrance free detergent such as Cheer Free, All Free and Clear , Tide Free & Hammer Free.Water Softeners There is some evidence that water softeners can lead to acne, especially those containing high amounts of potassium chloride. It is best to avoid water softeners.SwimmersSwimming pool disinfectants contain iodides and chlorine which can remain in the water, causing skin problems for frequent swimmers. We advise that you apply a thin layer of Vaseline before you get in the pool.Sun Exposure & AcneAlthough sun exposure causes desirable scaling and drying, it also damages the follicle, exacerbates dark spots, and can cause skin cancer as well as premature aging. We strongly advise that you wear sunscreen whenever you are outside, even if it is overcast and/or raining.Hand LotionsBeware of hand lotions. If you are using a comedogenic hand lotion and leaning your hand on your face ( many do this in front of the computer) or sleeping on your hands, this could contribute to your acne.Breakouts around the mouth area?Many lip balms, toothpastes, and even facial tissues have comedogenic ingredients in them. So, if you see breakouts around your mouth area, this is possible why. We recommend Vaseline or Aquaphor for a lip balm and toothpaste without SLS ( sodium lauryl sulfate). Many well – known tissue brands are infused with things like coconut oil, isopropyl myristate, and SLS, all of which clog the pores.No Picking or Squeezing!Instead of the usual desire to pick or squeeze, try rubbing ice on pustules and pimples for a couple of minutes, twice a day. IMPORTANT: if you pick, squeeze, and break the skin, the scab will leave a red mark or dark mark that will be there for months, making your skin look WAY worse than if you had left it alone.Birth Control and Hormone ReplacementAvoid low estrogen birth control pills. 'Lo' dose pills are higher in androgen hormones that can make acne-prone skin worse. Norplant, Provera, Depo-Provera shots, most IUDs like Mirena, Skyla and Littetta can be a problem. Also, the Nuvo Ring can cause breakouts as well. Progesterone hormone replacement Premarin can be problematic. If you have polycystic ovaries, they will cause hormonal changes and breakouts.Recreational and Prescription Drugs that affect acneMarijuana, cocaine speed and steroids used by bodybuildersPrescription drugs– topical and oral steroids, anticonvulsants, Lithium, thyroid meds, Quinine , Isoniazid, Immuran, Danazol, Gonadotrophin, Cyclosporin, Disulfiram, Phentermine, ADD/ADHD drugs.Chemicals that affect acneCoal tars ( roofers) , grease ( mechanics, cooks, waiters) , chlorinated industrial chemicals, dioxin.Making these changes to your lifestyle isn't going to magically make your acne disappear. However, being aware of these lifestyle choices that can negatively affect acne can help you identify what you are doing in your own life and how that might be affecting your skin. The first step is awareness and from there, you can make any necessary changes that are right for you!
