Skincare and Anti-Aging

Let's see if you know how to skinmaxx, but it's gonna get increasingly more niche. Daily SPF, tretinoin, collagen preservation, GHK, skin barrier repair, KPV, photoaging, transepidermal water loss, glycation, elastin breakdown, red light therapy, hormone optimization, fibroblast activity, inflammation. If you know all these, you're probably walking around mocking everyone.

skinmaxx is 10 out of 10.

Wearing sunscreen every day. Efficient. UV exposure does break down collagen which is gonna make fine lines and wrinkles worse.

Buying every trending serum. Inefficient. Too many active ingredients actually makes your skin more irritated and it does not fix the problem.

Using retinoid. Very efficient. It can improve cell turnover, texture, and fine lines over time.

Getting Botox. Efficient. It reduces muscle movement so that's gonna reduce expression lines causing wrinkles.

Treating every line with filler. Inefficient. Volume loss, texture, skin sagging, those all require different treatments.

Lifting weights and eating enough protein. Efficient. Muscle supports your shape, posture, and metabolism as you age.

It's literally the key for anti-aging.

Building the perfect skincare stack. Cleanser. CeraVe.

Sunscreen. Anua SPF 50. Retinol.

Naturium. Collagen. Ancient nutrition.

Hydration. Hyaluronic acid. Peps.

GHK. Diet. Whole Foods.

Sleep. At least eight hours.

Which anti-aging treatments are most likely to change your face? In F tier, starting at the bottom, drugstore anti-aging creams, not gonna do anything. Packaging, lying, ingredients, watered down, and the only thing getting younger is your bank account.

In D tier, we have facial tools, gua sha, rollers, all of it. I'm not saying they feel bad, I'm just saying they're not gonna do anything for your skin structurally long-term. Moving up to C tier, chemical peels.

You know, now we're getting somewhere, we'll see some improvements. They do help with the resurfacing and they do help with hyperpigmentation. and for cell turnover rate.

C tier, because you really have to be consistent with this or it's not gonna do anything. B tier, Botox filler. If it's done right by the right person, it is genuinely life-changing.

If it's done wrong, oof. Treatment isn't the problem, injector is, so B tier. A tier, Morpheus 8 and actual surgeries.

In terms of what's gonna make your face change the most, this is it. Me personally, I've done my nose, I've done my teeth. Morpheus 8 will rebuild your skin naturally though.

So Morpheus 8 is gonna help with rebuilding your collagen, growth hormone, and cellular repair. But it's also really important that you go to someone who knows how to do it correctly because you want to make sure that it doesn't go too deep because then it hits your fat deposits. The woman I see her transforming their face of nice before and after aren't the ones using all these skincare products or using the most products.

They're the ones that started working from the inside out or again have gone the surgical route.

Seven things aging you faster than you think and most of these are your daily habits. Number one, chronic stress. Cortisol is breaking down the collagen every single day.

Number two is going to be poor sleep. Your body's doing all the repairing at night and if you're not sleeping deeply, you're not repairing. Number three, excess sugar.

Sugar is going to stiffen and destroy your collagen through a process called glycation. Number four, skipping strength training. Muscle loss accelerates aging faster more than anything.

Number five, overdoing cardio. Long steady state cardio spikes cortisol and breaks down muscle. Number six alcohol alcohol disrupts your sleep dehydrates your skin and wreaks havoc on your hormones and number seven Just ignoring your hormone levels because once your hormones are affected everything that I just listed is gonna hit you twice as hard Comment balance down below and I'll personally reach out to you with my

This is everything wrong with your skin in 60 seconds. Collagen is dropping 1% every year after 25 and nothing in a bottle can replace it. Every time your blood sugar spikes, it breaks down your collagen in a process called glycation.

Your gut and skin are connected so if you're inflamed inside it's showing up on your face. Chronic stress is increasing your oil production and stopping your skin from healing itself. Your skin is actually an elimination organ.

When your liver is overwhelmed, your skin picks up the slack, which is why you look dull and congested. Your cellular turnover is slowing down, which means dead skin is just sitting there instead of shedding. Your hormones control your skin elasticity and thickness and been dropping since your mid-20s.

If your ponytail is half the size it used to be, this isn't normal aging, your hair is thinning. Here are three main causes. Number one, DHT.

As your hormones are changing as you get older, like into your 30s, some of your hormones convert into DHT. And because of that, your hair follicles are shrinking over time. The smaller your hair follicles are, the thinner your hair strands are going to be, and eventually you're going to have no hair at all.

Number two is ferritin levels. Ferritin is stored iron levels and it is the single most overlooked cause of hair loss in women. Your hair follicles absolutely need this to produce new growth.

Most women are running critically low without even knowing it. This is why it is so important, ladies, to get your iron in. Number three is going to be your estrogen and progesterone levels.

So these hormones is what's going to keep your hair in its growth phase for longer. As those hormones decline, this is where the shedding comes in. Hair loss is the first signs that your body is needing internal support.

These three things are destroying your skin and it's not sun damage. Most people have no idea that their diet has such a significant role in how you're aging. Every time you put sugar in your mouth, your body's going through this process called glycation.

What happens is sugar molecules attach to your collagen fibers, which we want, we want to keep youthful, and breaks them down. It makes your skin stiff. It makes your skin dull.

And it ages you faster, hands down, than anything else. And it's not just the candy. It's the white bread.

It's the pasta. It's the healthy granola bars. This is all going to add up.

Number two, chronic stress. Yes, stress will aid you. I can't stress the importance of how stress will literally put years on you.

Stress is directly linked to cortisol. Cortisol directly degrades your collagen, which is what keeps us young. So if you're stressed, your cortisol is going to spike and then your body breaks down collagen way faster than we can rebuild it.

Third, and this one might come as a shocker, but sleeping on your side. When you sleep on the exact same side every single night, you're creating compression and friction on the exact same side of your face for hours. And over years, that's going to add up.

That's going to create lines and wrinkles that no amount of skincare can fix. And this is where I highly recommend if you don't already have one, definitely sleep on a silk pillowcase. Silk does help reduce that friction and it protects our collagen that we're working so hard to rebuild.

If you're doing everything right with your skincare and you're still not seeing the results you want, one of these three things could potentially be why. Comment balance down below and I'll share exactly how my clinic will fix this.
