Ursula's Q+A
1. Beauty is an inside-out, full-body commitment.
The most beautiful skin starts long before skincare. If you can, establish care with a functional or regenerative medicine provider to optimize your hormones, nutrient levels, gut health, and overall wellness. Build habits that support longevity: strength training, quality sleep, nourishing food, stress management, minimal alcohol, and a low-tox lifestyle. Be intentional about what you put in and around your body - from skincare and supplements to cookware and household products. The choices you make today are the foundation for how you'll look and feel 10, 20, and 30+ years from now.
2. Just as importantly, don't stop at your face. Your neck, décolleté, hands, and body deserve the same attention. Healthy, youthful skin is a head-to-toe commitment. At Freeface, we offer body treatments like our Epicutis Lipid Body Treatment to nourish and strengthen the skin barrier, as well as BioRePeel® Body to improve tone, texture, and firmness.
Personally, I treat my body just like I treat my face. I have a consistent morning and evening body skincare routine. Every evening, I apply Skinbetter Science AlphaRet Body Overnight Cream and Epicutis Lipid Body treatment from my neck down to promote gentle exfoliation, smoother texture, and firmer skin. During the day, I protect all exposed skin with Colorscience No Show Body SPF including my neck, chest, arms, hands, and legs - with sunscreen. Your body ages right alongside your face, so it deserves the same level of care and consistency.
3. Never skip your nighttime double cleanse.
An oil-based cleanser followed by a gentle water-based cleanser is one of the simplest ways to maintain healthy skin. It thoroughly removes makeup, sunscreen, excess oil, and environmental buildup without disrupting your skin barrier, allowing your treatment products to work more effectively overnight.

Singing in the car and shower like nobody’s watching (or listening), PJ dance parties with my son, being a true “sauce boss” with extra sauce on everything, and organizing my skincare shelf just for fun. I’ll never say no to falling asleep to a true crime documentary, hunting for vintage vinyl records (or anything with a little nostalgic charm), or adding things to my online shopping cart that I may or may not ever purchase. I’m also guilty of stopping to photograph every sunset, browsing camping and overlanding gear “just for ideas” (that somehow turn into purchases), and planning my next adventure before I’ve even finished the last one. And of course, rewatching classics like Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm while finding the humor in everyday awkward moments - basically imagining Larry David narrating my life.
Coldplay. Country. Also 70’s rock such as Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Fleetwood Mac, The Rolling Stones, Steve Miller Band, QUEEN, The Clash...the list goes on…
Outside of Freeface, I’ve always been a girly tomboy. I grew up in the country, and my love for the outdoors has never left me. These days, my favorite adventures are the ones I share with my son - camping, fishing, hiking, off-roading, and building my off-road SUV into an overland rig. When I’m not outside, you’ll find me traveling, lifting at the gym, reading, writing, practicing photography, cooking, visiting art museums, collecting vinyl records, and finding inspiration through interior design. I love creating, learning, and staying grounded through mindfulness and time spent in nature.

My faith, first and foremost, and my family. My children are my greatest blessing and my biggest motivation. I’m passionate about all things skincare, wellness, beauty, and helping people feel confident in their own skin. I’m deeply passionate about serving others, volunteering, living with integrity, and creating meaningful connections. I love learning, exploring new cultures, entrepreneurship, and continuing to grow both personally and professionally. I find inspiration through art, creativity, nature, adventure, and the constant pursuit of becoming a better version of myself.
