When it comes to the perfect ice roller, my vote goes to The Skin Savant’s Ice Roller ($40) which has depuffed, cooled and calmed my skin down better than any other tool.

Barrier repair is more than just a passing beauty buzzword. When the outermost layer of your skin — comprised of skin cells, lipids and the microbiome — is impaired by over-exfoliation or medical conditions like eczema, it struggles to function properly and retain hydration.

Not everyone has the luxury of hiding away at home with a puffy, red face, or wants to head out to dinner with flaking, peeling skin. This is why zero-downtime skin care treatments are on the rise. But when it comes to absolutely no downtime, there are also a number of discreet, minimally-invasive treatments from estheticians, aesthetic nurses, dermatologists, and plastic surgeons that leave the surface of the skin intact (and often glowing) so that you can still wear makeup and keep up with your social calendar.

From dermaplaning to cryo and everything in between, Amy Peterson’s Miami Beach clinic offers the full range of services to achieve beautiful, glowing skin from head to toe. She posts dozens of in-office procedural videos so her followers will know exactly what to expect when they go in for a treatment, and her product knowledge is through the roof (she has her own line called Skin Savant too).

Amy Peterson made The List on Ocean Drive’s featured editorial. Miami is one of the most dynamic and iconic cities in the world — from its melting pot culture to its breathtaking waterscape, impressive architecture and preservation of history— it is truly, a one-of-a-kind destination.

“Using bakuchiol and retinol at the same time can help you achieve a healthier, fresher-looking complexion,” says Amy Peterson, medical aesthetician and founder of Miami medspa Skincare by Amy Peterson. “Using the two in conjunction helps with the prevention of wrinkles, and stimulates collagen production.”

“Lips are one of the most sensitive parts of the body,” explains Amy Peterson, medical aesthetician and founder of the medspa, Skincare by Amy Peterson. “They are made up of numerous nerve endings, which lead to sensation and temperature sensitivity, and lack protection from a defensive membrane, which can increase their risk when exposed to the sun.”

In October of 2020, I relocated down to Miami—as many New Yorkers did—and began to build a life in the Magic City. Within the first month of moving, I was introduced to licensed medical aesthetician Amy Peterson as ‘a must’ for anything and everything skincare. Little did I know, she was an anomaly.

Amy Peterson, a.k.a. Miami’s Skin Savant, is the premier source for all of your skincare and beauty needs in Miami. Located adjacent to Miami’s Lincoln Road, Skincare by Amy Peterson is the ultimate beauty sanctuary, as first experienced by its lush fragrance upon entrance.
