In this episode of The 3rd Phase, host Lori Carpenter sits down with licensed aesthetician and professional skin therapist Susan Sorensen of About Face Skin Therapy to demystify skincare for women over 60. Susan explains why it's never too late to start caring for your skin and breaks down what really happens to mature, menopausal skin — from transepidermal water loss and declining collagen and elastin to the important difference between dryness and dehydration. She shares practical, expert-backed advice on staying hydrated, the ingredients that actually work (ultra-stable vitamin C, niacinamide, retinol and the gentle plant-based alternative bakuchiol), and the treatments worth your money, including professional red and blue light LED therapy. Susan also cuts through the hype around glass skin, beef tallow, coconut oil and Korean skincare, makes the case for daily sunscreen (her favorite: SolaVida Face SPF 30), and reveals her single most important habit for healthy, glowing skin at any age. A must-listen for anyone 60+ who wants radiant, vibrant skin in this third phase of life.
