Natural Anti-Aging at 50

It’s been ages since I last posted a video! Since I turned 50 earlier this year, I thought it was the perfect time to make a video about natural anti-aging and what’s working for me. There’s definitely been a big shift in my skin in recent years (a lot more dryness, sensitivity and, of course, the lovely signs of aging). As I get older, I’m finding the best results come from focusing on my skin health, which in turn gives me softer, firmer, more supple and balanced skin (everything we want for a luminous glow). In today’s video, I’m sharing the skin care and lifestyle go-tos that have made the biggest difference.

In this video, I talk about:

What great skin really looks like as we age. It’s not about having no lines or wrinkles. It’s skin that’s soft, supple, smooth and luminous.
Taking an honest look at your skin care routine and letting go of products that no longer give you results, or that have started making your skin worse.
Double moisturizing, the one change that’s made the biggest difference for my skin. I layer a facial oil with a cream or balm, plus tips if your skin is normal or combination.
Hydrators vs. moisturizers, and why your skin needs both.
Using actives wisely. When it comes to vitamin C, retinol, exfoliating acids and peptides, less is often more.
Diet for healthy skin, including whole foods, variety, healthy proteins and fats, and being mindful of carbs, sugar and salt.
Why exercise transforms your skin, and how running and resistance training help keep my face and body firmer and more lifted.
Mindset, and why some of us actually get better as we age.

What’s working for your skin right now? And if there’s a topic you’d like me to cover in my next video, let me know in the comments below!
