Welcome to Skin Off the Record with Dr. Anna, a feel-good skincare podcast for women over 40 whose skin has changed and who are ready to feel like themselves again. In this first episode, Dr. Anna shares the personal and professional moments that shaped the way she sees skin, confidence, aging, and what it really means to get your glow back.

Dr. Anna reflects on one of her very first patients, a woman whose skin condition had started to affect her mood, confidence, work, and social life. That experience showed her that skin is never just about the surface. Years later, when Dr. Anna’s own skin changed during early perimenopause, motherhood, and exhaustion, she found herself feeling self-conscious too, even as a cosmetic doctor and skin expert.

This episode sets the tone for what Skin Off the Record is here to do: cut through skincare noise, simplify anti-aging advice, talk honestly about perimenopause and menopause skin changes, and help women over 40 understand what their skin actually needs without overwhelm or pressure to fix themselves.

In this episode you'll hear...

• Why changing skin can affect confidence, mood, and the way women feel about themselves.
• The early patient experience that changed how Dr. Anna approached skincare forever.
• Why traditional skin types like oily, dry, and combination do not tell the whole story.
• How Dr. Anna’s own skin changed in her 40s during motherhood, exhaustion, and early perimenopause.
• What you can expect from Skin Off the Record: honest skincare advice, anti-aging guidance, and simple steps to help you feel good in your skin again.
