I’m 42. i’d be lying if I said, I wake up like this. what it takes for me to look like I didn’t do much: 1. IPL (1x/year) — erases evidence of my 20s 2. Lip blush (every 3 years) — so I don’t look recently deceased 3. Microneedling + PDGF (4x/year) — makes my skin insanely glow 4. Lip filler (every 3 years) — just a little bit to fill in the lines 5. Skin stamping (1x/week) — because I want my expensive products to actually penetrate 6. Body exfoliation (1x/week) — duh 7. Dermaplaning (1x/week) — makeup goes on so much smoother 8. Botox (every 3–4 months) — for the lines I earned 9. Laser hair removal (every 2–3 weeks) — one less thing on my weekly list of problems 10. Self tanner (1x/week) — because everyone looks skinnier with a tan 11. Hydrating mask (1–2x/week) — pretending I drink enough water 12. Teeth composite (once + maintenance) — completely changed my smile 13. Red light (4x/week) — boosts collagen and calms inflammation aka skin looks better 14. Nails (every 3 weeks) — so at least my hands look responsible 15. CO2 laser (2x/year) — the reset button for texture, lines, and sun damage 16. Sculptra (4x/year) —long game collagen so I age a little less aggressively 17. Hormone therapy (every 3 months) — balancing things out so I feel like myself again 18. Scalp treatment (4x/year) — because thinning hair was not the plan 19. Teeth whitening (1x/year) — bc who doesn’t want their teeth to be celebrity white 20. Extensions (every 3 months) — without them, I have toddler hair 21. Eyebrow tattoo (every 2 years) —permanently solving a daily inconvenience Linked that thing I use here LTKOver40 LTKselfcare LTKBeauty
