When someone says, “You have great skin!” and you’re almost 40… that’s so T! 😂✨

Let’s do my morning skincare routine for glowing skin because at this point, consistency is doing the heavy lifting.

As a woman in my late 30s, my skincare routine is all about hydration, brightening, protecting my skin barrier + SPF EVERY morning. And yes… I love mixing a little Korean skincare with some of my tried-and-true favorites.

My current AM routine:

🫧 Arencia 아렌시아 Korean Rice Mochi Face Cleanser
✨ The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner*
🍚 ANUA Global Official Rice 70 Glow Milky Toner
✨ CLARINS USA Double Serum
🍊 Arencia Vitamin C Serum with Glutathione
👁️ CLARINS USA Total Eye Lift Eye Cream
🍊 medicube Global Capsule Cream with Deep Vitamin C
☀️ ANUA Global Official Zero-Cast Moisturizing Sunscreen SPF 50

*I don’t use glycolic acid every single morning exfoliation frequency depends on what my skin needs.

One thing I’ve learned approaching 40: you don’t need a complicated routine just because you’re getting older. Consistency + hydration + sun protection matter.

Your viral hair product might not be damaging your hair… you might just be using it incorrectly. 👀

My client had been using Color Wow Dream Coat on her leave-out and reapplying it over and over whenever she styled or flat-ironed her hair.

The problem? Her hair is low porosity, she had product buildup, and her shampoo routine wasn’t effectively removing everything before adding more product.

More product ≠ healthier hair.

When products continuously build up on the hair, it can leave your strands feeling dry, stiff, coated or difficult to manage even when the product itself isn’t necessarily “bad.”

And this is why copying someone else’s healthy hair routine from TikTok or Instagram doesn’t always work. Your hair porosity, current condition, styling habits, shampoo routine and overall hair goals matter.

Sometimes you need a licensed cosmetologist and hair-care professional who understands the biology of the hair and scalp to actually LOOK at what your hair needs.

Today we hit reset. ✨

We clarified her hair, started rebuilding a healthy hair-care routine and installed a Healthy Hair Sew-In using our Indian Wavy extensions so she can protect her natural hair while we work toward her length-retention goals.

Protective styles should be part of a healthy hair plan not a replacement for one.

GETCHHHHOOO AHHH UP! 😂☀️

Come spend 5:30–8:30 AM with me.

Emails answered ✔️
Gym ✔️
Skincare ✔️ because one thing about me… I DO NOT play about my skincare. 😂 I’ll show you exactly what I’m using in the next video.

I’ve learned that I don’t always have to feel motivated. I just have to be consistent. And right now, getting up early, moving my body and having a little time to myself before the day gets crazy is one of the ways I’m trying to stay consistent.

The gym is definitely the part I have to talk myself into though. 😂

Who else is in their “get up and do it anyway” era? What time yall waking up?

| As Certified Trichologist, one thing I always tell women dealing with thinning or excessive shedding is to look beyond the marketing and pay attention to the ingredients.

Hair thinning isn’t one-size-fits-all. Hormonal changes, stress, lifestyle factors and DHT can all play a role, which is why understanding what’s contributing to your shedding matters.

URO Hair Growth + Volume contains Serevelle™, a clinically studied saw palmetto extract. Saw palmetto is one ingredient I find interesting because of the research surrounding DHT activity and hair health. URO is also hormone-free, vegan and just one capsule a day.

When it comes to hair supplements, I’m always going to tell you the same thing: look at the ingredients, understand your hair loss, and pay attention to the science.

Natural hair doesn’t have to feel hard to manage. 🤎

Sometimes the issue isn’t your hair it’s simply finding a routine and treatment that works with your texture and lifestyle.

That’s why I offer my Formaldehyde-Free, Repairing Smoothing Treatment.

This isn’t about permanently straightening your hair or taking away your curls. It’s designed to help:

✨ Smooth frizz + reduce excess bulk
✨ Make wash days and styling more manageable
✨ Create smoother, longer-lasting silk presses
✨ Allow you to still wear your hair straight OR curly
✨ Help repair and strengthen damaged hair
✨ Support length retention by making your hair easier to maintain with less manipulation

As a hairstylist + trichologist, everything I offer is done with intention. My goal isn’t just for your hair to look good when you leave my chair! I want your routine to make sense for the health of your hair long term.

If humidity, frizz, long detangling sessions or maintaining your natural hair has been wearing you OUT 😩, this may be the treatment you need going into fall.

If I tell you I’m 10 minutes away… just know there was probably a quick photoshoot somewhere in between 😭😂

Because if the outfit is cute, the hair is hitting AND the lighting is good… I have to get the picture. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Also, this is still one of my favorite hairs because apparently I’m not taking my Indian curly out anytime soon 😂 And these Adidas pants are so cute! I love animal prints 😅.

Anybody else’s camera roll the REAL reason they’re always running late? 😂

💕A few hours to myself = running errands and dilly dallying with my sister Ligaya Alston She came to Dilly Dally with me because honestly we both needed it 😅

I’m realizing I want to share more of this side of my life again. Not just work, hair and business but motherhood, beauty, things I enjoy, random errands and just being Miyana.

September is officially my “start creating again without overthinking everything” month. 🤎

Any other millennial moms realize that errands alone somehow became self-care? 😂

I said I was going to give sew-ins a break… but apparently I lied 😅😂

Yes, I can wear my real hair because it’s healthy, long AND thriving… but do I want to right now? Nope. 😂

Indian Curly one more time to close out the summer because I’m forever a sew-in girl. 🤎 The convenience, the versatility, and being able to tuck my natural hair away while still maintaining my healthy hair routine? I love it here.

Protective styles will always have a place in my rotation when they’re installed AND maintained properly. ✨

Now after this one… I’m taking a break. Maybe. 😂

Some days I want the makeup to makeup…without looking like I did the MOST 😂✨

I’ve been reaching for lighter, more skin like makeup lately, so I tried a couple new complexion products and kept everything else soft, glowy + neutral. 🤎

Basically… my skin, just a little more polished. ✨

THE FACE:
✨ Yummy Skin Serum Skin Tint — Shade 11
✨ Concealer — 21W
✨ Blush — Dolce Vita
✨ Soft Pinch Blush — Worth
✨ Highlighter — Flaunt
✨ Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray Matte

THE LIP:
🤎 Lip Pencil — Chestnut
🤎 Matte Lip — Burnt Spice
✨ Lipglass — Boy Bait

Plus a little eyeliner and we’re done. 😌

This is definitely giving everyday soft glam without the full glam commitment.

Are you in your full coverage era or your skin tint era right now? 👀
