Hi, I’m Ceara. Let’s talk skin.
I went looking for answers about my own skin and found a career I never saw coming. Here’s how PUREDerm began and why I love helping clients understand their skin.

Licensed Esthetician, PUREDerm Esthetics
Hi, I’m Ceara, the licensed esthetician behind PUREDerm Esthetics in Colorado Springs. Before I knew what I was doing with skincare, my countertop was full of products. I was dealing with breakouts and wanted to be proactive about my skin, so if a bottle said it could help with one of my concerns, I bought it. Sound familiar?
The problem was that I had no clue why anything worked, what order to use it in, or which product was actually helping. My routine had turned into a very expensive guessing game.
How I got into skin
I went down the skincare rabbit hole trying to figure it all out. Eventually, my husband Jeff suggested I go to school for it. He saw how curious I was about skin and how much I loved caring for people. Later, he encouraged me to start my own business, too.
I never could have dreamed that I would be doing this. But here I am, and I absolutely love it. What began with my own breakouts and a crowded countertop grew into a place where I get to help other people make sense of their skin.
What I do at PUREDerm
I work with people dealing with things like acne, pigmentation, visible aging, and sensitivity. Some days that means a customized facial. Other days, a treatment such as a chemical peel, microneedling, LED therapy, or microcurrent may make sense. The point is to choose based on your skin and your goals, not because a treatment is trending.
I also help you figure out what to do at home. I know what it feels like to have a lineup of products and no idea which ones are earning their spot. Skincare is not a competition to see who can fit the most bottles on a shelf. You deserve to know what each product is for, how to use it, and why it belongs in your routine.
What you can expect from me
I’ll ask questions, listen, and explain why I’m recommending something. Helping clients understand their skin and make informed decisions about the skincare they invest in is something I take a lot of pride in. No mystery, no pressure, and definitely no one-size-fits-all plan.
That’s what I want this blog to be, too: a place for honest answers about skin, treatments, ingredients, and the little things that make a real difference at home. We’ll keep it useful, understandable, and occasionally a little fun.
If you’re new here, welcome. I’m glad you found PUREDerm, and I can’t wait to get to know your skin!
