SKIN🧴

By AshleyProvost

It really does make such a huge difference. Without it, cakey. With it l, hydrated and smooth. Also, I swear by this concealer. I used to get creasing from every other concealer and I don’t know why I stopped using this concealer, but I just did. And then I talked to my celebrity make up artist friend and she said this is the only concealer she uses.

If crepey legs were the problem, here’s how I’d use everything:

1. Body retinol — use at night, 2–3x a week to start. Don’t layer it with glycolic on the same night.
2. Body glycolic — use on opposite nights from retinol, 1–3x a week. Great for smoothing that dry, rough texture.
3. Microneedling above the knees — keep it conservative, super clean, and not on irritated skin. Follow with calming hydration, not actives. I would do this every six weeks. Use hyaluronic acid for slip then apply growth factors immediately after 
4. OneSkin Body — use daily, especially on non-active nights or in the morning.
5. Ceramide lotion — use every day, ideally right after showering, to lock in moisture and keep the skin from looking dry and papery.

Simple 40+ routine I’d start with:

AM

1. Cleanse or rinse
2. Vitamin C serum
3. Peptides/growth factors
4. Moisturizer
5. Tinted mineral SPF

PM

1. Double cleanse
2. Tretinoin 3–4 nights/week
3. Glycolic acid 1–2 nights/week — not on tret nights
4. Peptides on off nights
5. Moisturizer

I realize this is a lot. Trust me, I’m not suggesting you need to do all of it.
To make it easier, I broke everything down below based on the result you’re actually looking for👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

✨ Loss of glow → microneedling with PDGF, vitamin C, tretinoin, glycolic weekly, glow peptide
☀️ Sun damage & pigmentation → IPL, prescription pigment products like the Obagi , daily tinted mineral SPF, niacinamide 
💉 Collagen loss → Microneedling, Sculptra, tretinoin, Xerf
😴 Crepey skin & texture → CoolPeel, microneedling, growth factors
⬇️ Sagging & jowls → Xerf!!!, Sculptra, microcurrent
💧 Dry, tired-looking skin → Barrier repair, peptides, hydration before anything else, glow peptide

If I had a limited budget, I’d focus on the treatment that best matches the result I’m after instead of trying to do everything at once.

The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that you don’t need every treatment. You just need the right treatment for the concern you’re trying to improve.

*I get my peptides from beautyandthebeach

My Millennial Anti-Aging Cheat Sheet

• Botox every 3 months
• IPL once a year (face, neck, and chest)• Sculptra: 4 vials per year, spaced out throughout the year
• Fractionated CoolPeel 1–2 times per year
• Microneedling with PDGF at least 4x a year
• LED at home

My tretinoin schedule:
• Tretinoin 3–4 nights per week
• Hydration/barrier repair nights in between
• Glycolic acid on a separate night
• I don't stack everything together

Peptides:
I’m on the glow peptide and I get it from beautyandthebeach

*None of this is medical advice. It's simply what I've found works for me after spending an embarrassing amount of money figuring it out.

#LTKOver40 #LTKstorytime #LTKBeauty
if you want the no bullsh*t version of what I'd actually spend my money on, here it is:

1. PDGF — helped my under-eyes look less hollow.
2. Microneedling — my fave treatment for texture.
3. Glow Peptides — the secret of all the celebrities. I get mine through beautyandthebeach in Wilmington (they will ship) 
4. IPL — the fastest way I've found to tackle sun damage.
5. HRT — helped me feel more like myself. I use a testosterone cream, I take progesterone and dim to balance my estrogen. 
6. Collagen — an easy daily habit for aging well.
7. Red Light Therapy — calms redness and supports collagen.
8. Sculptra — restores volume without looking overdone.
9. Glutathione — for brighter-looking skin.
10. Tretinoin — if I could only keep one skincare product. Whenever I use this, I use the B5 cream that I linked to avoid irritation 11. Fractionated CO2 — biggest improvement in fine lines and skin quality.
12. Collagen Mask — glow hack
13. Ziip — my favorite tool for jowls.
14. Lift Heavy — the best thing I've done for my body. As we age, muscle becomes so so important for longevity 
15. At-Home Laser Hair Removal — I always get asked if this works. It does. But it just takes a while to do the treatment. 
16. Creatine — I take it for my brain as much as my muscles.
17. Retinol Hand Cream — i’ve seen such a difference since starting this. I keep next to my bed and use every night.
18. LED Hair Helmet — helps support fuller-looking hair.
19. Obagi Nu Derm Clear RX— the product that helped my melasma the most. You need a script for it though. I mixed mine in my tretinoin. It gives you the glowiest skin. I also linked one. You don’t need a script for, but it takes a bit longer to start working. 
20. Olive Oil — one of my longevity non-negotiables.
21. XERF — the closest thing I've found to a facelift without surgery. It gets into this SMAS layer, which is what they work on during a facelift. 

I linked everything I swear by here

at 42, beauty trends i thought were a scam (and one that actually was)
1. HRT — i was basically a different person before this.
2. at-home laser hair removal - takes forever, but really works
3. inj*ctable pept*des — now I see why all the celebrities are on this. I get mine beautyandthebeach- they ship. I’m on the glow blend and NAD. 
4. at-home microneedling - so freaking worth it 
5. glutathione for skin brightening - hailey bieber and kendall were right, I get the hype now.
6. pgdf - growth factors that tell your skin to act like it’s 25 again and it listens.
7. vibration plate — my family thinks I look like an idiot but my lymphatics, circulation, and core are all thriving so who’s laughing now.
8. sculptra - the long game of injectables. slow, boring, and the best thing i've ever done.
9. peeling serum - thought it was bogus. my texture had a different opinion.
10. dry brushing - manually moves lymphatic fluid, boosts circulation, and sloughs dead skin
11. exfoliation mitt - humbling how much dead skin i was just walking around with.
12. led lights — skin has never been better.
13. microcurrent — if you told 35-year-old me I would be zapping my face daily i would have laughed. here we are.
14. silk pillowcase - the laziest anti-aging thing you can do.
15. zombie cell lotion - targets senescent cells — the ones that just sit there aging you from the inside. clearing them out lets healthy cells do their job.
16. ingestible collagen — yes i know the science is complicated. my skin doesn't care.
17. olive oil shot - has to be high in polyphenols — that’s what fights inflammation, protects skin, and supports gut health.
18. green primer - spent years looking pink and ruddy for absolutely no reason. lesson learned. 
19. mouth tape - my husband thinks i've lost it. my sleep quality thinks he's wrong.
20. chin strap - the actual scam. a strap on your face cannot structurally change your jawline. bone and muscle don’t work that way. i wore it anyway.🫠

1. SPF every single day
Face, neck, chest, hands. Non-negotiable.
2. Skin flooding daily
Layering toners and essences made a huge difference in how plump and healthy my skin looks.
3. Vitamin C every morning
For brightness and pigmentation.
4. Growth factors morning + night + copper peptides at night
Helped my texture and overall glow.
5. Barrier repair moisturizer daily
Healthy barrier = better skin.
6. Red light therapy about 4x a week
One of the few devices I consistently think is worth it.
7. Exfoliation 2x a week
I alternate between a physical and chemical exfoliant for texture and dullness.
8. Tretinoin about 4 nights a week
Still one of the best things for aging well.
9. Skin stamping weekly
To help the high-quality growth factors I use absorb more effectively (Calecim or Biopelle).
10. Dermaplaning weekly
Makes my skin look smoother instantly.
11. Hydrating masks weekly
Especially when my skin feels dry or tired.
12. IPL yearly
Huge difference in pigmentation.
13. CO2 laser 2x a year
Amazing for skin clarity, fine lines, and texture.
14. Botox every few months
Softens lines before they settle in.
15. Microneedling with PDGF at least 4x a year
Great for collagen support, fine lines, and texture.
16. Sculptra yearly
Gradual collagen stimulation over time. Ugh, love.

how I microneedle at home:
1.cleanse your face thoroughly
2.apply numbing cream and wait 20-30 minutes (optional but recommended)
3.wipe off numbing cream
4.use rubbing alcohol and a cotton gauze to make sure your face is completely clean
5.apply hyaluronic acid serum as a glide
6.start at 0.25mm if you’re a beginner, work up to 0.5mm as your skin adjusts — go shallower around the eye area. No more than 0.25mm
7.use your microneedling device in small circular motions — forehead, cheeks, chin, neck
8.go over each area 2-3 times
9.apply a calming serum immediately after — I use peptides (calecim or biopelle)
10. Apply a skin protecting moisturizer, I like the epii
11.skip actives for 24 hours — no retinol, no vitamin C, no exfoliants
12.wait 48 hours before using red light
13.SPF the next morning without fail
13.repeat every 6 weeks

I personally use the Dr. Pen M8 — I can’t link it but I’ve linked a great alternative for you below.
This $14 Amazon mask will give you a glow that doesn’t even seem possible. It says to leave it on for 15 minutes, but I like to leave it on for at least 30. Linking my other favorites below that actually work and make my skin glowy

-hormone balance (I do bioidentical hormone therapy)

42 and spent a decade figuring out how to actually look better as i age. here’s everything that I did 👇 
1.the haircut — i had long hair for years and thought it was making me look younger. it was doing the opposite.
2.melasma — if you’re struggling with this, you must try the Obagi Nu-Derm Clear. I can’t link it because you need a script for it. Mix it with your tretinoin! I will link the one that is not a strong and you don’t need a script for, but it will take longer to work. Also keeping the sun off my face is key.
3.lip lift — the lip lift shortened my philtrum and made my face more feminine looking
4.jeans — I could easily throw away all my other jeans and just keep this pair. These jeans have transformed my wardrobe
5.teeth bonding — small chips and uneven edges that i’d lived with forever. fixing them made me actually want to smile in photos.
6.Teeth bleaching — my teeth have never looked so white
7.skincare — the shift for me was focusing on barrier protection first, then layering in microneedling and growth factors. Linked the products I use religiously. Let me know if you want me to mention what lasers and treatments I get. 
8.makeup —  started focusing more on a classic look rather than a trendy look. All my go-to products are linked.
9.workouts — running kept me small but soft. lifting actually changed my shape in a way cardio never did. i’ve never felt more confident in my body.
10.style — stopped second guessing every bold choice and started wearing exactly what i want. Linked my favorite bold pieces.
