Forma Facial - giving my skin a boost!

Let’s talk about something that sneaks up on us all—aging skin. Society makes us feel we are only relevant when we’re youthful so what’s a girl to do when she ages?  The reality is, time catches up, and if you’re not paying attention, your skin might just decide to have a midlife crisis of its own.

First off, understanding your aging skin is crucial. Think of it like understanding your high school social dynamics. Remember how you couldn’t just treat everyone the same way? The same goes for your skin. As we age, our skin changes—less collagen, more fine lines, and don’t even get me started on dryness. It’s like your skin is throwing a party, but it forgot to invite moisture. I’ve always frowned upon exclusivity.

So, what’s your game plan? You need to give your skin some serious TLC. That means hydration, sun protection (yes, even on cloudy days), and being gentle with it. Use products that nourish and protect, not strip and irritate.

Checked!

And treatments! I’m afraid of trying anything invasive. I’m worried it won’t turn out and I’ll be stuck with the results. But that’s just me. I'm a chicken.

If you’ve been following my Instagram, TikTok or YouTube, you’ll see that I’ve been working with The Scene Medical Beauty Bar on an 8-week Forma Facial treatment. I’m on week 3 and the results have been impressive. Fine lines are becoming even ‘finer’ and the brown (hormone? Sun? Sheer bad luck?) spot beside my eye is finally diminishing. My skin is already feeling more nourished and healthier. I’m trying to be vigilante by supporting my skin with a healthier diet, less sun and LESS WINE!

I’m done worrying about getting older. I’ve realized that it’s a privilege and I’m going to start treating it that way. And with the right care, your skin can still be glowing and gorgeous. We aren’t supposed to look 20 again because we..are…not. And 50 isn’t the new 40. It’s 50 and it’s damn fine!
