I’ve been paying a lot more attention to skincare since perimenopause because my skin doesn’t respond the way it used to.

Lately I’ve been seeing copper peptides everywhere, so this whipped tallow balm definitely caught my attention. It combines GHK-CU copper peptides, methylene blue, manuka honey, vitamin E, jojoba oil, and grass-fed tallow in one formula.

Perimenopause has definitely made me more ingredient-conscious, and this one checked a lot of boxes for me.

HealthyDerm Copper Peptides GHK-Cu Beef Tallow for Skin: Blue Balm with Methylene Blue, Manuka Ho... | Amazon (US)

Copper peptides have been everywhere lately, but what caught my attention was finding them combined with other ingredients that support aging skin in one product.

This balm combines GHK-Cu copper peptides, grass-fed beef tallow, methylene blue, Manuka honey, jojoba oil, and vitamin E to help support the skin barrier while keeping skin hydrated and looking healthy.

I was honestly expecting it to feel heavy because of the tallow, but it doesn’t. I’ve been wearing it under makeup without that greasy feeling, and if you prefer a richer nighttime routine, it also makes a great night cream.

One quick skincare tip: I personally don’t layer my copper peptides with my vitamin C serum. I use them at different times in my routine instead.

If you’re looking for skincare that focuses on hydration, barrier support, and healthy-looking skin—especially as our skin changes with age—this one has been a great addition to my routine.

I almost got lash extensions… but decided to try a prostaglandin-free eyelash serum first, and I’m so glad I did. This is my second tube, and one tube lasted me about five months.

If you’re looking for a prostaglandin-free lash serum that helps support longer, fuller-looking natural lashes, this has become a staple in my beauty routine.

I really thought I needed different foundation for a while, but my skin barrier was just struggling.

If your makeup suddenly started looking cakey, patchy, dry, or like it just isn’t sitting right anymore, it might actually be your skincare underneath. I feel like so many of us over 40 got used to using all the actives and accidentally dehydrated our skin.

This has been making my skin feel so much more hydrated and plump, and my makeup has been going on way smoother again.

I really thought I needed new makeup for a while… but my skin barrier was just dry.

Once I started focusing more on hydration and barrier repair, my makeup started sitting so much better again. This moisturizer has such a rich, cushiony texture without feeling heavy, and I love the hygienic refillable packaging too.
