“I became passionate about caring for my skin in 1995 at the age of 30. After years of repetitive basking in the sun, I realized my skin looked twenty years older than my chronological age. In late 1997, I began the journey of reversing the signs of aging."

Bev Sidders, founder of Bev Sidders Skincare, is no stranger to skin care. She became a consumer of effective skin care products (cosmeceuticals,) treatments and therapies in 1995. Since then, she has researched and studied the various modalities available. Bev’s interest in the effects of environmental pollutants on skin deepened as she earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Virginia. She then obtained her MBA from the University of California at Berkeley.
In 2008, Bev earned her degree in Occupational Science: Esthetic Science, and earned a diploma in Medical Esthetics from the Institute of Advanced Medical Esthetics in Richmond, VA. She is a licensed Master Esthetician in the state of Virginia.
Bev believes that beauty is not directly correlated with age, and that with proper care and treatment modalities, environmental damage to skin can be reversed or minimized. Healthy skin is the first and most important aspect of beauty. She shares her own skin care routine below.
Bev’s lifelong interest in science and art has translated into her passion for educating people and helping them look their best. Part of that education starts with getting to know you, your skin history and the products you are currently using. Bev will go through the ingredients with you and help you understand their purpose. If you have a question about a product or need assistance finding a product, please Ask Bev a Question. If you would like go more in depth, and spend some one-on-one time with Bev creating or optimizing your skin care goals and regimen, sign up for the Virtual Skincare Consultation.
Bev believes that when you look your best, you feel your best, and that you can look your best at any age. Her goal is to provide a confidential, relaxing and safe environment for clients, with the focus being on customer care.
MORNING
1) Bev Sidders Skincare Gly/Sal Foaming Cleanser + AHA/BHA Scrub (Mix a dime-size amount of AHA/BHA scrub with 2 pumps of gly/sal foam, and work into a foamy grit).
3) Bev Sidders Skincare CE Ferulic serum (8-10 drops - I’m a heavy user; this goes over entire face/neck and can go on eyelids as well) KEEP REFRIGERATED IF POSSIBLE TO SLOW OXIDATION RATE!
4) Nutra-Lift [Rejuvenating Peptides + Hyaluronic Serum w/snail filtrate] (1 pump of each mixed together then apply entire face, including eyes, and neck)
5) Bev Sidders Skincare Glycolic acid – avoid getting on upper eye lids; I personally find this too irritating for my neck. [Décolleté is fine.] I will alternate or use either 10% or 15%. BevTip: If you are new to glycolic acid, start slowly, 3 weeks after you have gotten accustomed to CE Ferulic; use glycolic every other morning for about 10 days. Can take about 3 weeks to acclimate to this powerful active.
6) SkinCeuticals Physical Eye UV Defense SPF50 Tinted – applied to upper eyelids; bonus - this doubles as a primer/concealer, all while giving this delicate skin total protection from UV rays.
7) EltaMD SPF 50 UV Sheer mixed with EltaMD SPF 40 Restore TINTED + UF2 Ivory for color, OR...
ISDIN Actinica mixed with ISDIN Ageless + UF2 Ivory for color
