Functional Skin Aging: Why I’m Done With the Word “Anti-Aging”

This article expands on my video about functional aging. If you came here from YouTube, this is the longer version with the studies, the sources, and the parts that did not fit in the runtime. I spent years in biotechnology working on the next generation of Botox at Allergan. I know exactly how that molecule works.

Posted onLeave a comment

The Real Reason Your Skin Is Freaking Out During the Holidays (It’s Not What You Think)

Posted onLeave a comment

You’ve been doing everything “right.”

What Rosacea Really Does to Your Confidence (It’s Not What You Think)

The heat came before the words.

Standing in front of 150 scientists, foundation carefully layered across my face and neck like armor, I felt the familiar fire beginning its climb from my chest. My presentation slides glowed on the screen behind me, but all I could feel was the burning spreading across my cheeks—a crimson confession I hadn’t asked to make.

But fire, I’ve learned, rarely asks permission… Read More …

Posted onLeave a comment

The gentle warmth of May brings blossoming trees, fragrant flowers, and—for many of us with sensitive skin—a season of heightened reactivity.

This spring, instead of surrendering to seasonal flare-ups, let’s explore how to create a protective shield for your sensitive skin—one that honors both its vulnerability and its remarkable ability to heal when properly supported. Read More …
