If your skin has been irritated, breaking out, or just acting like it’s going through something… this episode is for you.Today I’m opening up about two chapters from my life that completely reshaped how I understand stressed skin — the first time in my early 20s as a young makeup artist when deep, painful breakouts appeared out of nowhere, and later in my 40s during a stressful, transitional season when my skin rebelled all over again.These experiences taught me one powerful truth:Your skin listens to your life louder than it listens to your products.And once you learn how to respond with compassion and the right tools, everything changes.In this episode, we break down how stress sneaks into your skin, and more importantly, how to help your skin calm down, recover, and glow again.You’ll learn:✨ Why stressed skin becomes reactive, inflamed, or breakout-prone✨ The “Less Is More” reset that soothes angry skin fast✨ Why blue LED light is a gentle, research-backed acne tool✨ How salicylic acid works (and how NOT to overdo it)✨ The real reason pimple patches work — and what they don’t do✨ Prescription options for hormonally driven or persistent breakouts✨ Why microdosing Accutane can be easier to tolerate✨ The surprising ways stress outperforms genetics and diet✨ My free Glow Back™ Recovery Guide — your simple roadmap to calmer skinThis episode is educational only and not medical advice — but it will help you better understand how to support your skin in the seasons when it needs more love.Remember, Beautiful… the more you know, the more you glow!Resources mentioned:Free Glow Back™ Recovery GuideGet my soothing, oncology-friendly routine for irritated or stressed-out skin👉 https://mailchi.mp/jentriquinn.com/skinguideAs a thank you for listening, use the link below and enter code BEAUTYBACKROADS at checkout to get my beauty guide completely FREE! https://jentriquinn.com/products/jentri-quinn-your-ultimate-beauty-guide-to-glowing-skin-after-40.htmlClinical References Blue LED Light & AcneSeaton, E.D. et al. “Blue light therapy for acne vulgaris: an evidence-based review.” British Journal of Dermatology, 2008.Omi, T. et al. “Photodynamic therapy with blue light.” Lasers in Medical Science, 2004.Skin Barrier & Stress ResponseElias, P.M. “Stratum corneum defensive functions: an integrated view.” Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2005.Denda, M. et al. “Stress and skin barrier function.” International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2013.Salicylic AcidKircik, L.H. “The role of salicylic acid in the treatment of acne.” Dermatology Research and Practice, 2015.Low-Dose (Microdose) AccutaneRademaker, M. “Isotretinoin therapy for acne vulgaris: how does low-dose isotretinoin compare?” Dermatology, 2013.Spironolactone for Hormonal AcnePlavan, R. et al. “Efficacy of spironolactone for the treatment of acne in adult women.” International Journal of Women’s Dermatology, 2020.Stress & Skin ConnectionArck, P.C. et al. “Stress and the skin: from epidemiology to molecular mechanisms.” Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2006.Thanks for listening to Beauty Backroads.If this episode spoke to you, be sure to subscribe and follow along for honest stories, beauty tips, wellness wisdom, and a little self-discovery for women navigating beauty, aging, reinvention, and life on the backroads.Join our weekly newsletter for insider beauty tips, behind-the-scenes updates, soulful inspiration, and first access to what’s happening at Jentri Quinn Makeup + Skin.Visit us at:www.jentriquinn.comThe more you know, the more you glow.

In this episode, I’m taking you back to a cold New Year’s Eve when five simple words shifted the course of my entire life. After a 15-year marriage ended, I found myself starting over, alone, uncertain, and stripped down to my core. But that moment of vulnerability became the foundation for everything that came next: love, healing, and a whole new chapter in beauty and in life.We’ll talk about what it means to truly let go, to trust the process, and how that same mindset applies not only to skin healing but to emotional recovery, too.So grab your coffee or your glow serum, and settle in. Because sometimes, the most beautiful things happen when we finally stop trying to control the outcome.The more you know, the more you glow. #WhatIfItsAllGood #BeautyBackroads #LifeAfter40 #HealingJourney #MidlifeReinvention #BeautyOver40 #TrustTheProcess #RestorativeBeauty#WomenOver40Thanks for listening to Beauty Backroads.If this episode spoke to you, be sure to subscribe and follow along for honest stories, beauty tips, wellness wisdom, and a little self-discovery for women navigating beauty, aging, reinvention, and life on the backroads.Join our weekly newsletter for insider beauty tips, behind-the-scenes updates, soulful inspiration, and first access to what’s happening at Jentri Quinn Makeup + Skin.Visit us at:www.jentriquinn.comThe more you know, the more you glow.

Ciao, Backroad Beauties!Today we’re getting real about eye-area safety for women 40+. If your eyes have felt drier or more reactive, you’re not alone. I’m Jentri—licensed esthetician and certified in oncology esthetics—and I’m walking you through what not to do around the eyes and the gentle, smarter swaps that keep them comfortable, bright, and makeup-friendly.We’ll talk about why non-sterile oils don’t belong in your eyes (even if some ophthalmic drops contain castor oil as a tiny, sterile emulsion ingredient), how waterline tightlining can push pigments into the tear film, why glitter fallout is extra tricky for sensitive lids, when to skip lash extensions/adhesives, and the nightly hygiene habits that prevent irritation and styes. You’ll leave with an oncology-safe routine you can start tonight.If you’re navigating sensitive or recovery skin, you’re in the right place. My goal is to help you glow back—safely, simply, and confidently.You can find all of my favorite sensitive skincare products here on my Amazon Fave's List, including the 2 eye drops and eyelid cleansing pads I personally use: https://amzn.to/4eJl0pnWhat you’ll learnWhy DIY oils in the eye are a no—and what sterile options to choose insteadHow to line your eyes above the lashes for lift without irritationSafer texture choices for mature lids (satin-matte over loose glitter)When lash extensions and adhesives can backfire—and easy alternativesThe 3-month mascara rule and a simple nightly removal ritualA soothing, oncology-safe eye routine you can follow step by stepThis podcast is educational and not medical advice.
