About this episode

The episode features dermatologist Dr. Lori Sanford discussing skincare and aging for busy moms in their 40s.

We brought in Dr. Lori Sanford, board certified dermatologist, because aging gracefully sounds great but we also have questions. Lots of them. What actually works, what is overhyped, how do you start with injectables without looking like a completely different person, and what does a real skincare routine look like for a busy mom in her 40s. Dr. Sanford gives us the real talk on what to do at home, what is worth spending money on, what perimenopause does to your skin that nobody warns you about, and the one thing every woman in her 40s should be doing right now.
