I’m seeing a HUGE disconnect in the creator space right now. We talk endlessly about skincare trends… yet we leave perimenopause and menopause out of the conversation.

I am 46 and going thru perimenopause myself - below are my reccomendations for TOPICAL skincare to support mature skin and take some control back over the aging process - notably a peptide serum, a retinoid and a stable vitamin c.

1. P46™ Serum – my new peptide + HA serum was formulated specifically to address the changes we begin to see during perimenopause and is backed by extensive 3rd party clinical testing. It is what I feel most comfortable reccomending!
2. Skin Nectar – another excellent serum that has been testing post-procedure if you are using in-office treatments in combo with at home skincare
3. Find a retinoid that works for you – whether that is Tret, retinAL or retinOL, and use it every day. If tret is too strong for you, try retinAL – I use Retinal Night™ from my own brand
4. A stable vitamin C serum. My DWB Beauty Asta C Serum and C E Ferulic are both great

LMK what other questions you have! Stitch w/ sara_fitzgerald on TT ❤️

Holiday shopping for the teens and tweens in your life? 🎁 Teens + tweens have vulnerable skin and so many of the products that we see trending on social can be potentially harmful. As a dermatologist, here’s my gentle reminder on safe shopping at : 

Keep it simple. Keep it soothing. Keep it barrier-friendly.

Healthy teen or tween skin doesn’t need actives like retinoids or exfoliators just yet (** unless struggling with acne in which case the right retinoids and salicylic acid can be very effective!***).   Look for products that hydrate, support the barrier and protect — think gentle cleansers, fragrance free moisturizers, daily SPF, and gentle barrier balms. 

Here are some of my favs that feel fun and luxurious without overwhelming young skin. ❤️

1-week Fraxel update! What you’re seeing is part of the normal and expected healing process post Fraxel. I used the 1927nm wavelength which is a non-ablative fractional laser that creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones (MTZs) in the epidermis, targeting sun damage and pigmentation. As those tiny columns of damaged skin rise to the surface, your skin feels dry, tight, rough and gritty like sandpaper. It's also prone to dehydration. This lasts about 3-8 days depending on the state of your skin BEFORE the laser plus the settings that were used during the treatment.

Dark spots can look like "coffee grounds" - they are actually called "MENDS" or Microscopic Epidermal Necrotic Debris, and they represent dead material being pushed up through the epidermis. It's actually evidence that UV damage and melanin (pigment) are being cleared.

They usually darken over the first 2-3 days then gradually flake off when you wash and moisturize (no picking!), revealing smoother, brighter, healthier skin.

During this healing window, do NOT Pick or scrub!

Avoid exfoliating acids or retinoids.

Daily SPF is a must.

Fraxel is one of my go-to lasers because it actually prevents pre cancers from turning into cancer, brightens dark spots and stimulates collagen synthesis in the skin. Curious about downtime, results, or candidacy? Drop your questions below ⬇️

I do think it's important to be transparent, I would never want someone online viewing my content and comparing their skin to mine!

Everyone’s skin journey is different. My goal has always been to help you make informed, empowered decisions- whether that means in-office treatments, at home skincare, or a mix of both.

There’s no one "right” path to healthy, glowing skin… just the one that works best for you ❤️

Your post-procedure recovery period is just as important as the procedure itself. Your results and your investment depend entirely on how you care for your skin afterwards!!

You guys aren't ready for when the two of us get together 😂

If you guys don't already follow , she's one of my absolute favs for mature beauty tips and tricks! She's all about what works for us women over 40, not the trends on social that are made by 20-somethings, for 20-somethings.

What else do you guys want to know from us?!

I just had one of my fav in-office treatments, Fraxel. Actually, I did it to myself! One of the perks of being a derm... The goal right now is to hydrate, enhance the results of the procedure and of course, protect and repair the skin barrier, so I’m keeping my routine very simple: gentle cleanser, post procedure serum, and barrier-repairing cream. No fragrance, nothing comedogenic. No makeup, no exfoliating, no active ingredients for the next few days and no picking or scrubbing- just barrier support, SPF, and patience!

What other questions do you have about post-procedure care? Products I used are from

Day 1 post-Fraxel! Fraxel is one of my personal favorite laser treatments. It helps smooth texture, fade sun damage, and boost collagen among other things. It is NOT my first line of treatment if you have melasma.

LMK what questions you have about Fraxel- I'll update with final results soon! Do you guys want my post-procedure skincare routine? ⬇️

We're starting to feel that fall/winter transition, meaning you're likely updating your skincare routine to account for dryer, colder weather - just like you do with your wardrobe!

It's important to do this in a way that protects your barrier, so remember the 3 Ps: Patch, Pace, Protect.

Let me know if you have any Qs ⬇️ stitch w/

No single product beats consistent, barrier-supportive habits. Find a routine that works for you and that you know you can achieve every day. It doesn't have to be complicated, or 10 steps- as long as you are covering the basics (cleanser, moisturizer, SPF) and sticking to it, you're setting yourself up for success!

My favorite programs are on major sale at as a part of the holiday shop. Great place to start and find a routine that works for you. And we offer refills at a lower cost, because, y'know, consistency is important 😉
