    252: Ancient Rituals, Midlife Skin: What Cleopatra Knew About Hydration and Hormones

    Ever feel like your skin is constantly angry at you? Reactive. Stinging. Red for no reason. Like it went from cooperative to completely unpredictable the moment you hit 40? You've probably been told you're just "sensitive now." Maybe you've been diagnosed with rosacea. Maybe you've bought every gentle, fragrance-free product on the market and you're still dealing with irritation. Here's what nobody's telling you: your skin isn't just sensitive. It's inflamed. And there's a huge difference. In this episode, we're diving into something called inflammaging: the chronic, low-grade inflammation that happens in midlife and affects everything from how your skin looks to how it responds to literally every product you put on it. Most skincare approaches completely miss this. They throw more actives at the problem (more vitamin C, more retinol, more acids) which only makes inflamed skin worse. So what's the solution? Turns out, Cleopatra might have been onto something with those legendary milk and honey baths. And no, this isn't about recreating some over-the-top royal spa treatment. It's about understanding why this ritual worked for inflammatory skin and how you can bring that same genius into your own life without needing a palace, a staff, or a dairy farm. In this episode, you'll learn: What inflammaging actually is and why it's wrecking your skin after 40 Why piling on more "anti-aging" products can backfire when your skin is inflamed The anti-inflammatory science behind milk and honey (it's legit) How to create your own weekly ritual that calms your system and gives your skin permission to heal Why this approach works when everything else has failed If you're tired of your skin feeling like it's constantly fighting you, this episode might just change everything.

    251: Why Your Winter Skin Feels Off (and the Lymphatic Fix No One Talks About)

    If your skin feels dry, puffy, or like your trusted products have suddenly stopped working, you are not imagining it. This episode breaks down exactly why winter is so hard on skin over 40 and what is actually going on beneath the surface. In this conversation, I walk you through the key changes your skin goes through in your 40s, why winter magnifies those changes, and how your lymphatic system plays a critical role in how your skin looks, feels, and functions. This is not about adding more steps or more products. It is about understanding your skin differently and learning how to support it with less, not more. If you are ready to stop second-guessing your routine and start seeing real results in the mirror, this episode will give you the clarity and direction you have been looking for.

    250: What Actually Changes Skin After 40 (And What's Just Hype)

    In this episode, I'm breaking down what really shifts in your skin after 40—and what's just overhyped noise. I'm sharing the physiological changes no one talks about, how your gut and inflammation play a surprising role, and the tools and treatments I'm currently loving (including Adipeau, A02 Hydrate, and why I personally lean on dermarolling over retinoids). You'll also hear a real client story that shows how getting to the root can change everything—from under-eye bags to forehead lines. If you're in your 40s or beyond and your skin feels like it's suddenly harder to figure out, this episode is for you.

    249: The Skin Reset That Actually Works (And What to Stop Doing First)

    Why Guessing With Your Skin Is Making Things Worse (And What to Do Instead) One of the biggest mistakes I see in skincare isn't neglect. It's reacting too quickly. When something feels off, irritated, or inflamed, most people rush to fix it. Add something new. Remove too much. Overcorrect. And that's often when real damage happens. In this episode, I'm breaking down why guessing with your skin almost always backfires and how to approach skin changes in a calmer, smarter way. We're talking about: Why "doing more" usually leads to more inflammation What to stop when your skin feels reactive or confused What is often safe to keep, even when everything feels wrong How to handle flare-ups without damaging your skin barrier This is a mindset shift as much as it is a skincare conversation. If you've ever thought, "I was just trying to help my skin… why is it worse?" this episode will bring clarity. Press play and learn how to do less, the right way.

    246: Lip Lines Aren't Random: What's Really Behind Them (and What Works)

    Lip lines aren't random and they're not just a sign of getting older. They're your skin's way of sending a message about how your body's really doing beneath the surface. In today's episode, we're breaking down the real reasons those fine lines are showing up around your mouth even if you're doing 'all the right things.' I'll share why I don't recommend injectables, what small daily habits could be making things worse, and what actually helps without disrupting your natural systems. If you've been staring at those little lines and wondering if you're too late… you're not.

    245: The Glow Reset: Fasting Your Way Into Radiant Skin This New Year

    What if glowing skin started in your cells — not your skincare bottle? In this episode, we're talking fasting, autophagy, and the science behind giving your body the ultimate reset. I'll share how the Prolon Fast can rejuvenate your skin, reduce inflammation, and even support long-term health — plus, my real-life tips to make it through all five days without giving up. Whether you start now or in January, this episode will help you plan your Glow Reset the smart way. Hey everyone, it's Lindsey — your licensed esthetician, thermographer, and wellness bestie — and okay… before I lose you, hear me out. 😅 Yes, today's episode is about fasting, but it's not what you think. We're not talking about deprivation or some wild juice cleanse. We're talking about fasting as a way to get glowing skin, lower inflammation, and totally reset your body for the New Year. Now, even if you're not ready to jump into fasting right this second, that's totally okay. Think of this as your prep episode. I almost waited to release this closer to January, but then I realized — if you want to start strong January 1st, you've got to plan now. You need time to research, order your Prolon kit, and mentally prep so you're ready when the holidays wind down. I personally started my fast right after Thanksgiving — and it was the best timing ever. After all that rich food, pie, and the general holiday chaos, my body was like, "Okay Lindsey, we need a reset." I felt bloated, sluggish, and my skin was just dull. So instead of waiting until January, I thought — why not clean up now and head into the holidays already feeling light and glowing? And that's exactly what happened.
