Victoria Nelson has spent the past year documenting her recovery after a cosmetic treatment she says left her with burns and permanent scarring, a case that recently resulted in celebrity aesthetician Sonya Dakar surrendering both her California aesthetician and establishment licenses. Now, Nelson is answering one of the questions followers ask her most often: What’s in her skin-care routine?
“I think it goes without saying, none of this is sponsored,” Nelson recently shared with her TikTok followers. “I’m probably more psychotic about what goes on my face than many people, so this is only stuff that professionals have recommended.” She also notes that what works for her may not work for everyone, but after years of procedures, her routine has become intentionally simple, focusing on cleansing, hydration, barrier repair and sun protection.
