Peels, Pumpkin & Purpose: Meet Alyssa Cabrera Kennedy

For Alyssa Cabrera Kennedy, fall means pumpkin and cinnamon, creative coffee drinks, Thanksgiving favorites and, of course, peel season.

As the professional behind ACK Esthetics, LLC, Alyssa loves using the fall months to strategically advance peel protocols when clients typically experience less direct sun exposure. It is the perfect opportunity to focus on progressive correction while continuing to prioritize skin health, preparation and recovery.

Her passion for aesthetics, however, started long before the treatment room. A self-described tomboy who played softball and raised hogs through 4-H, Alyssa also had a natural love for beauty and “fixing things.” That combination ultimately led her to a career where she could make a difference one client at a time.

Today, her goal is simple: help clients feel their absolute best without judgment while educating them about their skin. Building trust, creating lasting relationships and helping clients reach their goals are what she loves most.

When it comes to Lira Clinical favorites, PRO Retinol Crème takes her personal top spot, while PRO Brite-Plus Serum is her #1 retail recommendation. With hyperpigmentation being one of the most common concerns in her treatment room, she loves its combination of 5% tranexamic acid, ferulic acid and vitamin C to help address stubborn pigmentation and promote a brighter, more even-looking appearance.

Outside the treatment room, Alyssa brings that same enthusiasm to fall. She handles about 60% of the Thanksgiving cooking, and her corn casserole and roasted butternut squash soup served in homemade sourdough bread bowls are usually the first dishes to disappear.

Her advice to her 18-year-old self still reflects how she approaches her career today:

“Don’t give up. Setbacks are simply preparing you for something greater. Press on. You’ve got this, and there are women out there who need you.”

For Alyssa, Lira Clinical has helped provide the professional products, visible results, education and continued support that allow her to keep learning, growing and helping clients achieve their skin goals.
