I promise I won't make you throw out all your products and buy a whole new routine. I might make some suggestions to fill in the gaps or tell you if something is not working but if you like your products or just want to replace them as you empty them, I can work with that.

Marketing and social media can make it tricky to know what's really worth spending money on. Here are three trendy things right now that I say pass on:

PDRN Serums: the data just doesn't support that applying this topically (rather than injecting) does anything beyond surface hydration. Stick with studied ingredients like retinoids and peptides for collagen support.

Exosomes: there isn't enough data yet to show that applying these topically gets these vesicles to actually communicate with skin cells the way we'd want.

Expensive sunscreens: the price tag just isn't justified. There are some really great affordable sunscreens out there. You don't need to spend a lot to find one you love using.

If you're not sure what's actually worth it for your skin, that's what a skin assessment is for.

4 things your skin needs in your 30s and 40s.

Sun gets a lot of blame, but here are some other things you might not think about.

You might not even know how some of these show up on your skin. I do, and I can help prevent them and support your skin when they do.

When your skin loses it's glow completely you don't have to live with it.

Please remember makeup before going to bed! You've probably heard a lot of reasons, including it ages you faster and it can decrease the health of your skin, but this one is all about your health, your eye health and your quality of life.
