If you've been slathering on the same products for years, wondering why your skin is getting worse instead of better...

Dr. Aleksandra Brown is here on the pod this week and she has some things to say about that!!

Dr. Aleksandra Brown is a board-certified dermatologist who has personally dealt with acne in her teens, pregnancy, postpartum, and is now navigating perimenopause herself.

She is not gatekeeping a single thing 👏👏

In this episode we cover:

Hormonal acne and why it literally follows you through every stage of life.

What perimenopause actually does to your skin barrier and why the routine you've had for years is suddenly working against you.

When to start retinol, how to layer it without torching your face, and the sandwich method she swears by.

Why skin checks should start in your 30s, not your 50s like most doctors tell you.

The viral skincare trends she is begging you to stop following.

And the honest conversation about Botox, fillers, and why a good injector should sometimes just tell you no.

Your skin is always changing and the sooner you stop fighting it the better it gets.

Dr. Brown makes sure you leave this episode actually knowing what to do about it.
