About Me

Hello and welcome to my blog!

My name is Susanne and I'm a 50-something-year-old who has been passionate about skincare for decades! Growing up I suffered from severe acne which was a continual source of stress as a pre-teen, teenager, young adult and well into my adult years. I tried to manage my acne but mostly resorted to covering it with makeup.

By the time I was 30 and had just become a new Mom, I was beginning to see age-related changes I did not like while I was STILL also experiencing acre breakouts too! That was the year I decided to commit to disciplined skincare before it was too late (I wanted to have clear AND youthful appearing skin for at least part of my adult life)!

Since then I've found partners in my skincare journey (a great aesthetician is a wonderful partner to have if you can find one)! I've also studied and learned a lot on my own and experientially about the benefits of simple products with good active ingredients that will not break a budget (consistency is key)!

I'm a skincare adventurer and willing to try things and plan to share my findings here! At this stage of my life I am also realizing that all the topical treatments in the world won't matter if I don't do better from the inside out. I am busy like all working women are and I don't eat well and love junk food (especially when I'm under stress). My meditation game and workouts are minimal at best and this blog and journey I'm going on might have started with skin but I believe there is inner work to do that will show up on the outside (great skin)!

We'll see how this goes...I'm excited to share anything I find that has topical or overall anti-aging benefits (ultimately your skin will reflect your health) we'll see what we can find together!

In addition to my passion for and commitment to skincare and this journey I'm embarking on to find improvements to the inside that will show up in my skin as well, I love spending time with my husband and adult children. I'm also huge 80's music fan, love my dogs, love cars, love decorating, reading (fiction and self-help), am obsessed with tiny houses (I can't fit in one but I love them nonetheless) and I hope to do more traveling once my kids are through University!

Thank you for visiting my blog! I truly hope you find something here that's helpful for your own skincare , anti-aging and overall wellness journey!
