IN 2025, my skin taught me:
1. Hydration, hydration, hydration. ALL skin conditions come back to hydration.
2. Texture is normal! Want to help it? Be religious about medical grade skincare, get regular chemical peels and microneedling to keep your skin turning over like it did in your 20's and to help your skin help itself, boost that collagen & elastin girl!
3. Invest in biostimulators. Your skin after 25 is rapidly loosing collagen, fat pads and bone. Not only will they replace volume, they'll densify your skin and fill in areas that are depreciating (aka wrinkles) and leave you literally glowing!
4. Speaking of investments, you are worth it. Who else is going to invest in you? Don't let anyone talk you in OR out of doing something for you. You know your body, you know your skin, you know your gut. Listen and do what makes you happy!
5. Dermal Filler is not evil. The best are undetectable. Can you see mine?! Ya, didn't think so! Don't be afraid of them, instead let an experienced injector know your fears and let them guide you, not overfill you. The idea is facial balancing, and there's nothing wrong with building small and tailoring your experience.
Finally, be kind to yourself. Ladies, our bodies are beautiful but as my daughter likes to joke, Eve ate the apple and so while we get to bare children, we also get to go through the gambit of hormones and adult acne (among other things..she calls it punishment). Give yourself grace and kindness.
