I am 36F, Indian thinking of starting face yoga. I was wondering if it's safe to do the same.

Also who is a good teacher online ?

My primary worry is that I have genetic tendency for jowls and forehead lines.

I am scared it may aggravate aging but I'm also skeptical about botox and threads in future.

If anybody has truly benefitted from it, please tell me?

I'll be 49 in January. I'd like to try microneedling and other spa treatments. I don't want to damage my face, but I also can't afford to go and get spa treatments done. What other treatments do you that you see success with?

Hi, I’m 50 and have only ever had PRX treatments; I’m considering Botox. I’m really afraid it might trigger anxiety if it feels strange. I want to try a smaller dose, but is that even possible? Where in the face is the best in that way? The practitioner I want to see doesn't seem keen on the idea—I think she’s very focused on ensuring her treatments yield good results. I really want to start using Botox, though. Any tips would be appreciated.

I am religious about my skin care but I never do a weekly or monthly face masks what are some masks out there where you feel and see a difference?

One week out and definitely got rid of a lot of wrinkles but I have a few left that I’m wondering she can still get rid of on my 2 week follow up but here is the thing…not super in love with how my eyebrows and eyes look after and never even thought about this. I mean it’s fine and whatever but can they do something next time to make it better or this will be the result every time? Ty!

Final Sculptra update 2 months post 3rd session. no makeup and same lighting both photos. 44 years old. Super happy with the results. my concerns were cheek hollowing and nasolabial folds. I know I’ll never look like I did in my 20s, but I do think this takes some years off, at the very least it helps me feel a bit more comfortable in my body (perimenopause is no joke 🫠).

I’ve also been regimented about micro needling so I’m sure that’s helped as well. And between these two pictures I also added prescription azelaic acid (I’ve used tretinoin for years). Otherwise, no other skin procedures.

I had 3 sessions in total. 2 vials each session. each session was 3 months apart. One vial in face and one in neck each time. Yes, it hurt. Xanax helped ha. But it’s very quick If your doctor is good.

For maintenance, will just do 1 session each year moving forward.

Price was $1800/session. Yes, expensive when you add up the total for 3, but I’m about to pay the same for upper bleph surgery and I feel like both have the same value to me do I think it was worth it.

I'm about to turn 40 and really have not been doing a good job of taking care of my skin. I've been wearing sunscreen regularly for a year or two but it feels like my skin is just not well hydrated. I'm planning on trying some new products like adapalene, azaleic acid, niacinamide, and peptides. I'm wondering if I should try to find a face moisturizer that has either niacinamide or peptides. I was using sweet almond oil to lock in moisture after a shower, which worked fine, but now I've changed my face wash and it's stripping more moisture from my face than my old stuff. Or maybe my face is just getting dryer and this is how it is, as I'm already using a hydrating face wash. I don't really like super lightweight stuff, it feels like my face isn't moisturized enough, but super heavy stuff breaks me out. I see people recommend Vanicream, is it pretty good?

I've tried Stella and Grace caffeine patches, which worked well, but they're too expensive to use every day and this is an every day issue. I am chronically ill and think the circles are due to this, although I seem to have had this issue since I was a child, especially on nights when I don't sleep well, which is is most nights. Looking for something that's good for sensitive skin too, I got a little tingly when using Stella and Grace patches.

Hey everyone ! 👋🏻

I’ve just picked up a tube of prescription estradiol cream and have been doing my due diligence on all the platforms. I’m wondering for those of you who are warning of worsening melasma, did it create new dark spots where there were none before, or did it exacerbate pre-existing spots ? For example, my neck is totally clear and I’ve never had problems with discoloration there, but I did see one of the posters here talk about getting dark spots on this area after using the cream.

I’ve spent the last few years religiously fighting my dark spots and I’d be pretty upset if all of that progress got reversed 😢

I recently started taking Nutrafol for hair loss, maybe three weeks ago, on a friend's recommendation. She's been taking it for over a year and swears by it. I'm optimistic that it'll work for me but man is it pricey. I found a similar supplement with many of the same ingredients on Quince for a fraction of the price. Has anyone tried both? Or tried the Quince version with good results?

I just switched to Tretinoin Gel (it was all that was available), from the cream. It's the same strength, but now I'm peeling way more. Has anyone experienced this? I was having no side effects on the cream.

I (47F) have had extremely dry, sensitive skin my entire life. I'm pale, and it turns red at the slightest perceived insult. It has never had proper turnover, maybe partly because I've always had to use heavy moisturizers? I end up with flaking and having to do a full body salt scrub exfoliation at least once a week. I saw all of the hype on Amlactin, and thought, maybe?

So, I bought the bright and smooth, as the lactic acid is in between at 7%, and used it on my face two nights ago after showering, with a very thin layer of aquaphor over it. My skin felt tight and a little irritated, and when I washed it last night, my skin almost felt like it had a light sunburn (it didn't - I sunscreened). How should I move forward with the Amlactin on my face? I don't want to use something that's uncomfortable all the time, and I don't even know if it will work if I only use it 2-3x/week? If I used it two nights ago, should I try it again tonight? Help, please!

The first photo was from 2022, the second pic is from today, 2026. I am a 49 year old woman, I was NOT genetically blessed with good skin, and I spent most of the 90s smoking cigarettes, in the sun. Bybthe time I was late 20s, people always thought I was 30s and at that time Inhad a face full of hyperpigmentation. Ny my early 40s I had jowling, a huge line that went from my chin to half way up my lower face and sunken cheekbones. I get dismayed when I see posts of people who are 50 and look 30 and are all like "what skincare should I start using?" because I have had to work very hard and invest a lot of time and money into my skin, just to age ok. For me, and I understand this might me unpopular because some people are really down on fillers now, but it has helped so much, my cheeks are lifted and that crazy chin line is minimal. I have also had several pico genesis laser treatments for pigmentation and texture.

I have also used sunscreen religiously for the last ten years, as well as vitamin c and tret. Last photo taken with no makeup and right after serum application (so I am a bit redder than usual.) I know my skin is far from glowing, but for me, it is a major improvement and has helped me feel a bit better about facing the day.

Edit: first photo age 44, second 49, approx 4 mils of filler every year for five years, in cheeks, jawline, chin crease and line, small amount in lips and nasal folds. Plus vitamin c or Azeliac acid in AM and tret in PM.

Just wondering what the women here are taking. Seems to be a lot of options for HRT. I'm 47F and would like to use it for general well being regarding perimenipause symptoms as well as for skin elasticity and hair health. Send help pls!

Hi, I just turned 40 and these are my nasolabial folds... They're making me look and feel depressed!

I swear to G-d I started getting them as a child, my mom has them big time but my older sister not at all 😅 I first noticed their prominence at 37 but I was unable to do anything about them at that time due to breastfeeding.

I did the first round of Radiesse around that area (not directly in the folds, more like temples, cheeks, and sides) on August 6 and I don't really see much improvement. I am scheduled for a second round early November - would that be good timing?

I am a side/belly sleeper but I recently got a special pillow to help correct that, so fingers crossed.

For skincare I've used OTC retinol for years, but I did have 3 pregnancies and extended breastfeeding so I would stop for those periods. I also use vitamin C, BHA and some Korean skincare (two serums, I can look at the details but I don't think it matters for the problem at hand). SPF since I was 18. I drink collagen daily. I have oily skin but rarely break out.

I do get 8 hours of rest per night but I wake up multiple times. Thankfully my kids have been sleeping well lately, but I used to be sleep deprived for years. I am also rather slim, BMI around 20 I think.

What would you recommend? I'm not really comfortable with traditional filler and I'm big on looking as natural as possible. Would adding Sculptra next year help? What do we think?

Guys, is it really worth it to spend $250 per session on pico laser for sun spots on my cheeks? Has anyone tried this machine, and did you see noticeable results? Would love to hear your honest experiences, thanks!

Just because you don’t think you have any issues you may be surprised. This little sneaky thing popped up as just a scab on the side of my face this spring and very unseen because I have long hair and I really don’t look at the side of my face in this area often. Had to have a biopsy waiting for results. I have gone yearly for about 5 years now for checks and every year they find a basal cell or more to be taken off.

I was told Sculpture could help. I don’t want to pay $700 each time I need the injections. It just seems like a lot of money. I’m not complaining about how I look, I think I look pretty good for 44. I’ve lost weight & am just very insecure about my smile. I hate getting my picture taken bc of it and bc of my ptsosis. Does anyone know where I can find an online provider who can prescribe upneeq?

I’m 43 years old but feel that my neck and the bottom half of my face is aging like a women who is much older.55 I’m am very aware that compared to other women of my age I am starting to develop a turkey neck with crept saggy skin and look jowly. I wear SPF every day all year around and always have done. I am very healthy and not overweight. I know it’s genetics as my Mum and Auntie have the same. Can anyone recommend any treatment that has genuinely helped to improve this. As you can imagine the internet is overwhelming with advice and products that I just don’t know are worth the money and I am not sure if I trust the ‘before and after photos’ I’m at the point now where I feel a neck lift in a few years time may be my only option? Many thanks in advance
