Should You Be Putting Estrogen Cream on Your Face?

I wrote all about what topical estrogen actually does, my experience trying it, and your next steps in my latest substack article (and this one’s FREE).

BTW, Hot AF Over 40 (my Substack) is where I say the things nobody else will, with the science to back them up and the receipts from trying everything on my own face first.

Someone told me at lunch that I look 20 and I took the compliment (obviously), but then something came out of my mouth I hadn't planned.

"Thank God I'm not 20 again."

At 20 I was washing my face with whatever was on sale and confident in the way only someone who hasn't been humbled by life yet can be. Which is to say, aggressively and incorrectly.

Now I have a 12-step nighttime routine, strong opinions about peptide layering, and I've maintained full eye contact through a hot flash mid-conversation like the professional that I am.

40 isn't the new 20. It's the new permission slip. And it's about damn time.

Day 9 and we’re talking peptides.

By your 40s you’ve lost about half of it.

Which explains the brain fog, the fatigue, and walking into a room with no idea why you went in there. (Just me?)

This is the molecule your cells use to repair DNA and slow aging at a cellular level, and most women have never heard of it.

I’ve done all three delivery methods. I have thoughts.

Nobody’s paying me for this. They should be, but they’re not.

Follow for all 30 days.

I want my full peptide pro protocol?

If you hear what I spent to look like this at 48 and think I’m out of my mind, that’s fine.

If you’d rather have property, a retirement account, a quiet life with a great moisturizer from Target? I love that for you. (Truly. No sarcasm. Target has some gems.)

There are women who feel completely at peace letting mother nature run the show.

No red light masks at midnight, no compounded prescriptions, no perimenopause protocols, no $34,000 lessons.

That is a valid, intentional choice.

It’s just as okay as the choice I’m making.

I’m just choosing to talk about it honestly, because women over 40 deserve that conversation.

If you’re spending real time and real money on skincare, wellness, and actually feeling great in your body after 40...

You’re not crazy. You’re not shallow. You’re just making a choice that most women make quietly and then act like they didn’t.

I’m here for the ones who are done pretending.

I wanted to commit a small, tasteful crime.

Let me explain…

I started at the very bottom of the bottom and built multiple eight-figure companies from scratch.

An accredited nutrition school.

A clinical nutrition certification.

Books that sold over a million copies. Two of them, actually.

Dr. Phil. Good Morning America. The Today Show.

Worked with a ton of celebrities. The whole thing.

I built every single bit of it with my own two paws, starting from a place where I didn’t even have a bathroom.

So when someone looks at me and asks “who runs my businesses FOR me”, you can understand why I might want to commit a small, tasteful crime. Right?

Can you understand?

No? Just me. K.

If you've ever been underestimated in business and wanted to shake someone as a result, you're going to want to hear this.

I’m sharing the 3 places I have filler now...

the 1 place I had it but will never get it again...

and the 3 places I plan to get it in the future.

My rules: don’t overdo it.

Start slow because you can always add more but you can’t always take it away.

And your injector matters more than the product.

I have a full guide of products, procedures, and pricing

I spent $1.3 million on my looks.

Over 18 years.

And I don’t regret a single dollar.

And look, for perspective…

I grew up in a house where we paid $25 a month for rent.
My mom opened the oven door in winter just to heat the kitchen.
That’s where this story starts.

And somewhere between that house and now, I made the decision that looking good made me feel more confident. More valuable. But what it actually bought me might not be what you think.

I’ve spent over $1.3 million on my looks - so you don’t have to.

I know… I needed a drink after I added it up but we move on.

So… I built something.

Comment LIST to see exactly what I've been up to.

Here's what no one in the beauty space wants to say out loud... It costs money. Real money.

I'm tired of watching women get sold the idea that you can look like this with a $12 serum and good vibes. Don't get me wrong. There are some great $12 products out there, but they're not near as plentiful as the beauty influencers would have you believe.

I constantly watch people promote 30 different products in any given week, and it's only adding to the confusion of what actually works.

I deeply understand the anxiety of looking in the mirror and not recognizing the woman looking back at you.

To do all the things to try to reverse it, and to fear that your best days are behind you (trust me, they're not).

So… I decided to do something about it.

I built what I’m calling Cynthia Garcia’s List (it’s my list, my team let me do it, moving on.)

It’s everything I use and love and nothing I don’t.

It’s every procedure I’ve done.

Every protocol, every cost.

And I’m not holding anything back.

The must-have peptide for anti-aging.

This is the one peptide you can actually see working when you look in the mirror and I refuse to stop using it.

GHK-Cu triggers collagen, activates skin repair genes, and has 40 years of research.

My tip: use it before and after laser or microneedling.

Game changer.

Want my full peptide protocol as well as how I dose, where I source peptides, and more?

I spent so long proving I was more than a pretty face that I didn’t give myself permission to be who I’ve always been.

I was so determined to prove myself as the smart one, the serious one, the businesswoman who earns respect with her brain and not her face, that I was terrified of losing that identity.

And then finally… I saw it. Clear as day.

The one person holding me back from my dreams, my goals… was me.

If you’ve ever found yourself holding back from going all in on the thing that just lit you up because you felt you had to be something in someone else... This one's for you.

You can have it all. But you cannot do it all.

And no one really tells you that part.

Somewhere along the way, ambitious women were sold this idea that if we were just organized enough, disciplined enough, optimized enough, we could operate at 110% in every area of life. Career. Family. Health. Friendships. Presence. Beauty. Peace.

All at once.

But here’s the truth I’m finally admitting out loud:
I’m tired of doing all the things.

Not tired like I need a nap.
Tired like I walked into the kitchen and have absolutely no idea what I came in for.

Because “having it all” and doing it all at the level you demand of yourself are two very different things.

And something eventually cracks.

This episode is about the pressure high-performing women carry quietly and the moment you realize the real power move isn’t doing more.

It’s deciding what actually deserves your energy.
