49. No filter. No foundation. No time to get ready. 😂💁🏼♀️
Watching a video of myself, I immediately started picking myself apart. WHY do we do this?! 🤦🏼♀️
As an aesthetics provider, my brain automatically assesses EVERYTHING. So here’s my vulnerable little self-assessment. 🔍
I’m 49, working full-time at Mayo, running Meraki & being a wife/mom. Who has time for hair & makeup?! 😂
Regular phone. Bright light. NO filters or foundation. Just mascara, tinted Youthful Lip Replenisher & Meraki Tinted SPF.
Here’s what I see…
🌱 HAIR: Those crazy baby hairs?! Xtressé Hair Growth Gummies DAILY for 2+ months! ⭐️ Loving that growth!
🤨 BROWS: Teen in the ’90s, partying in the 2000s. Plucked the $h!t out of those girls. 😂
👃 NOSE: Why is it crooked?! 🤷🏼♀️ Character!
💉 FACE: Volume loss at 49 is REAL! LOVE my Sculptra, Radiesse & filler. Natural looking… but not ALL natural. 😂
🌸 CHEEKS: Not blush! Rosacea. Prescription skincare has helped tremendously! YES, Meraki offers prescriptions for common skin concerns!
✨ SKIN: Proud to feel confident without foundation! Medical-grade skincare, treatments & SPF make a difference. Makeup settling into wrinkles?! LESS is MORE!
💋 LIPS: Tinted Youthful Lip Replenisher! pH-adjusting for YOUR perfect pink. Different on everyone!
👀 NECK + CHEST: Ladies, don’t neglect them! Sun damage, wrinkles & crepey skin don’t stop at your chin. We treat those too!
HERE’S MY POINT…
I’m not trying to look 25. I want to look & FEEL my best at 49.
I see things I’d improve AND the results of caring for my skin. BOTH can be true. 💕
At Meraki, we’re not here to change your face. We’re here to help you LOVE your skin with personalized skincare, injectables, regenerative treatments & lasers. ✨
The goal isn’t looking younger than everyone else. It’s CONFIDENCE at every age!
Are YOU your own worst critic?! 😂👇
