Nicole LaCroix | Skin Health Educator, Writer & Speaker

Media, Speaking & Credentials

For Nicole LaCroix, every skin story starts with a question.

Not, "What product should I use?"

But...

Why is my skin changing in the first place?

That's the question Nicole has been helping people answer for more than a decade.

As a nurse, licensed esthetician, educator, and writer, she's helped clients throughout the United States and internationally understand how hormones, stress, nutrition, travel, climate, healthy aging, and life's biggest transitions can all influence the skin.

Her curiosity has led her far beyond treating breakouts. Today, through Skin Care Beyond Borders, Nicole explores the fascinating connection between skin, health, lifestyle, and the environments we live in—sharing practical, evidence-informed education that helps people stop guessing, understand the why, and care for their skin with confidence.

Whether she's working one-on-one with a client, speaking at an industry conference, writing an article, or joining a podcast conversation, Nicole's goal is always the same: to make skin health feel approachable, empowering, and rooted in real life.

Current Focus

These days, Nicole spends just as much time researching and writing as she does treating skin.

Through Skin Care Beyond Borders, she's exploring how everyday life influences our skin—from hormones and nutrition to travel, climate, stress, grief, and the many transitions that shape us.

Our skin isn't random.

It's responding.

Nicole believes the most valuable question in skin care isn't, "What product do I need?"

It's...

"What's changed?"

Because when you start asking better questions—about your environment, your health, your habits, your hormones, your stress, your travel, and the season of life you're in—you begin to see your skin differently.

What once felt random starts to make sense.

That's the philosophy behind Skin Care Beyond Borders.

Because understanding your skin doesn't start with a product.

It starts with curiosity.
