I’ll never forget the morning I caught my reflection in the rear-view mirror — and actually smiled.

For 2 years, I’d avoided that mirror. I’d angle it away, look down, anything to not see the dull, exhausted version of myself staring back.

My skin was chaos after two pregnancies and breastfeeding — oily t-zone, dry flaky patches on my cheeks, huge pores, blackheads, zero elasticity. My makeup wouldn’t sit right. The bags under my eyes felt permanent.

I was using TWO different skincare ranges at once (one for oily zones, one for dry) and still nothing worked. My bathroom cabinet was full of half-finished products I’d given up on — £1,800 of wasted maternity pay trying desperately to feel like myself again.

I’d spent 2 years searching for clean skincare that was actually hormone-safe, toxin-free, AND performed like the premium brands I used to use. Everything “natural” did nothing, or was secretly loaded with hormone disruptors despite the “organic” label.

Then I found a system that ticked every box: freshly made, every ingredient listed in plain English, clinically proven to firm skin, and it actually WORKED.

After just one week, I was sending bare-faced selfies to my friends. After one month? That rear-view mirror moment — radiant, plump, glowing skin staring back at me. I couldn’t believe it was me. Here’s the problem with trying to piece this together yourself:

You’ll waste months testing “natural” products that don’t perform, reading ingredient lists you don’t understand, buying half-finished jars that sit in your bathroom cabinet. You’ll wonder if that “organic” label is lying to you (spoiler: it probably is). And meanwhile, you’re still hiding from the camera at family events.

Or you could skip the 2-year trial-and-error phase I went through.

I’ve done the research. I’ve tested 47+ natural skincare brands. I know what actually works for perimenopausal skin — hormone-safe, chemical-free, clinically proven to firm, and it doesn’t smell like lavender and regret.

This is the exact system I’ve used for over a decade. The one that gave me my confidence back. The one that made me stop avoiding my reflection.

At 44, my face is more sculpted, lifted, and radiant than it’s ever been.

Before I started using this system I wasn’t happy with my skin. It felt ok, But not lifted. Not sculpted. Not glowing.

My jawline was softening. My cheekbones were disappearing. My face just looked… tired.

I kept thinking, “Maybe I need stronger actives. Maybe I need more products.”

Then I discovered something that changed everything.

After 40, lymphatic drainage slows down and facial muscles lose tone.

This means your products sit on the surface instead of absorbing deeply — and you only get 50% of the results.

Facial massage isn’t optional after 40. It’s ESSENTIAL.

This is my routine.

Jawline Lift (20 reps) – L-shape hands, push from chin outward
Lip Scissor (20 reps) – Smooth smile lines with scissor motion
Cheek Sculpt (20 each side) – Push up + swipe across toward ear
Eye Lift (10 above, 10 below) – Thumbs at temples, sweep outward along socket
Forehead Smooth (10 reps) – Fountain shape, sweep to hairline + outer eyes
Finish – Gentle tapping + effleurage strokes

Immediate Results:
✅ Firmer, lifted skin
✅ Defined cheekbones + jawline
✅ Visible glow + reduced puffiness

You can do this with any product — but without the right slip, you’ll tug at your skin and create MORE lines.

Now I only use one organic oil for this routine.

It’s clinically proven to firm skin by 31%, has the perfect glide for massage, and absorbs beautifully without feeling greasy.

This combo — the protocol + the oil — gave me the sculpted, confident glow I have now at 44.

Honestly? I look more defined and radiant than I did in my 30s.

Your collagen routine might be sabotaging itself.

Most women over 40 are taking collagen daily but wondering why their skin still looks tired, their joints still ache, and nothing’s changing.

The problem? You’re missing the “activation ingredients.”

Collagen doesn’t work alone. It needs specific nutrients to actually synthesize into NEW collagen in your body. Without them, you’re literally flushing money down the drain.

In this video, I break down the 3 biggest mistakes I see (including one that destroys collagen’s bioavailability instantly).

If you want my full protocol with 2 MORE collagen timing/dosage hacks that most people miss (including the best time of day to take it for maximum absorption)...

This is what 15 minutes can do when you stop fighting your hormones and start working WITH them.

Woke up the morning I filmed this feeling rough. Puffy face, tired eyes, the works.

But I’m 44 now — and I’ve cracked the code on hormonal skin.

Let me take you back...

After two kids and hitting perimenopause, my skin was an absolute mess. Dull, patchy, dry AND oily at the same time. Huge pores. No elasticity. My makeup sat weird. I looked older than I felt.

I was desperate. I tried EVERYTHING — switching between “oily skin” and “dry skin” products on different zones of my face. Then I discovered something that changed everything:

Hormonal skin doesn’t just “age” — it TRANSFORMS.

At 40 You lose 30% of collagen in 5 years. Oil production drops. Your barrier weakens.

So your old routine? It’s like putting diesel in a petrol car. Wrong fuel, wrong results.

Here’s what’s been sabotaging your results.

❌ Mixing random brands
❌ Silicones & mineral oils
❌ Harsh retinols
❌ Over-cleansing
❌ Ignoring hormonal shifts

My 15-Minute “Tired to Radiant” Formula:

🌟 Step 1: Barrier-restoring cleanser (rebuilds while cleaning)
🌟 Step 2: Hydrating toner with tiger grass + avocado milk + aloe vera
🌟 Step 3: 10% encapsulated Vitamin C (stable formula that won’t oxidize)
🌟 Step 4: Facial tanning drops + moisturiser (buildable, natural glow)
🌟 Step 5: Facial oil + gua sha massage (depuffs, sculpts)
🌟 Step 6: Adaptogens foundation (strengthens skin’s stress response)
🌟 Step 7: Strategic sculpting & brightening
🌟 Step 8: Lash kit (instant eye lift)

When I finally found a complete SYSTEM — one that’s:

Truly toxin-free (ingredients listed in plain English)
Freshly made
Designed to work together
Actually PERFORMS..Everything changed.

First use? Immediate difference.

One week? Taking bare-faced selfies proudly.

One month? I caught my reflection in my rearview mirror and literally smiled at how radiant I looked.

That was 11 years ago. I haven’t looked back since.

If you’re ready to stop wasting money on products that don’t work together…

My friends who know me ask about these 5 “weird” habits, I honestly think they make a difference to how I look and feel at 44.

When I hit 40, I noticed something: my skin looked puffy in the morning, and I seemed to cope less well with things like eating too much sugar, alcohol, too little sleep. I could see these things turn up in my face.

Turns out, it wasn’t just my skin — it was everything UNDER my skin.

Perimenopause slows your lymphatic system, increases inflammation, and tanks circulation. So even the best products can’t work if your body isn’t draining toxins and delivering nutrients properly.

Here’s what actually shifted everything:

5 Daily Habits That Changed My Face:
1️⃣ Tongue Scraping (Morning) — Removes bacteria and toxins that cause inflammation. Less gut inflammation = less facial puffiness.
2️⃣ Mouth Taping (Sleep) — Forces nose breathing, reduces facial bloating, and prevents wrinkles from mouth breathing. I wake up less puffy.
3️⃣ Rebounding (10 mins) — Gentle bouncing stimulates lymphatic drainage. Gets fluid moving so your face doesn’t hold water.
4️⃣ Dry Brushing (Before shower) — Boosts circulation and lymph flow from head to toe. Your skin glows from the inside out.
5️⃣ Lymphatic Facial Massage (5 mins) — Drains puffiness, sculpts your face, and helps serums pe*****te deeper.

The problem? Most women invest in skincare but ignore the system underneath. You can’t out-serum a sluggish lymphatic system.

These habits prep my skin to actually ABSORB and USE my products. That’s when the magic happens.

I do this + my hormonal skincare routine, and my results have never looked so good!

At 44, I’ve tried everything.

Expensive serums. Celebrity-endorsed moisturisers. “Clean beauty” that promised miracles.

But these 6 ingredients made the biggest difference in my skin — and I wish I’d known about them sooner.

My skin was thin, dull, and no matter what I used, I’d wake up feeling dehydrated.

I thought I was doing everything right.

Turns out, I was missing the ingredients that actually rebuild and protect hormonal skin.

Most skincare focuses on surface-level hydration — but hormonal skin needs deeper repair and protection.

Here’s what actually works:

1. CERAMIDES IN MY CLEANSER (Not Just Night Cream)
Ceramides are like the mortar in a brick wall — they hold your skin cells together. Starting with them in your cleanser rebuilds your barrier from step one.

2. TONER WITH POLYHYDROXY + ALPHA HYDROXY ACIDS
Sweeps away dead skin cells, gently exfoliates, and improves absorption of everything you apply after.

3. MULTI-MOLECULAR WEIGHT HYALURONIC ACID
Must be different sizes — small molecules pe*****te deep, large ones hydrate the surface. Single-weight HA can’t absorb properly.

4. ORGANIC RETINAL (NOT Retinol)
Retinol is made from petrochemicals and strips your skin. Organic retinal is gentler, no side effects, and works WITH your skin barrier.

5. NIGHT CREAM WITH BAKUCHIOL
Plant-based retinol alternative — perfect for sensitive, hormonal skin.

6. FACIAL OIL WITH MORINGA + FATTY ACIDS
Rebuilds lipid barrier, plumps fine lines, and locks everything in.

You can Google these ingredients and try to piece together a routine.

But finding clean formulas with the right concentrations and no fillers is exhausting and expensive.

Most brands greenwash or use synthetic versions that don’t perform.

This routine transformed my skin at 44 — firmer, plumper, glowing.
