Skincare is so hit or miss, and it takes so. much. time. (BIG emphasis here) to find what works for you. I also feel like once I hit my 30s, things went haywire REALLY quickly. And while do think a good skincare routine for your 30s is VERY important, the amount of products that are out there, and the amount of information on DOs and DON’Ts is just way too overwhelming.
I finally decided to see Susie who I have seen for years here and there for facials (she’s done my hydra facials), and I’ve finally given her complete control over my skincare routine. I’ll admit I was a bit scared and worried about how things would go, but the last 9 months or so have been amazing. I’ve LOVED my results.
Now, the products are a pretty penny (?) and again I am not claiming to know it all. I am not trying to sway you into buying these or that you NEED these. What I will say is, go see somebody who knows what they are doing. If you are in Houston, go see Susie! Do your research, find someone locally, and take care of your skin! You do not need a lot of these, and a little goes a long way. I’ve only restocked once in the 9+ months I have been using everything.
I have shared my results and before and afters on social media, so I thought I would round everything up, what I am using in the morning and PM. I can’t guarantee you will get the same results as I will. But everything I am using is below.
P.S. If you are not using retinol – start NOW. That was one product I was afraid to start using, and the results have been incredible!
AM SKINCARE ROUTINE;
Papaya Enzyme Cleanser // papaya Fruit Extract lifts away impurities, gently polishes away dead skin cells, and nourishes skin with vitamins and minerals. Leaves all skin types feeling soft, clean and moisture-balanced.
NUFACE Trinity Facial Toning Device // good for all skin types. A microcurrent facial-toning kit that helps tone, lift, and contour with an interchangeable red-light attachment to diminish the look of wrinkles. I try to use this daily, but aim to at least 4x a week in the mornings!
Lancer The Polish // infused with antioxidants and magnesium crystals, this face scrub helps slough away dead skin cells to boost skin texture and diminish signs of aging. I use this 2 or 3 times a week- it can be a little rough, so use light pressure!
A.G.E. EYE COMPLEX FOR DARK CIRCLES // for normal to dry skin types, its an advanced anti-wrinkle eye cream that improves the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, and crow’s feet. Also includes optical diffusers to diffuse light and immediately improve the radiance of tired dull-looking eyes.
Discoloration Defense // for dry, normal, oily, and combo skin. A dark spot corrector clinically proven to reduce the appearance of key types of skin discoloration in all skin tones, including hard-to-treat forms such as stubborn brown patches and post-acne marks.
Vitamin C Serum for Dark Spots Discoloration // for normal, oily, and combo skin. Phloretin CF features a patented synergistic combination of 2% phloretin, 10% pure vitamin C, and 0.5% ferulic acid for enhanced protection against atmospheric skin aging – environmental damage and premature signs of aging caused by free radicals from UVA/UVB, infrared radiation, and ozone pollution.
Hydrating Serum // features two forms of Hyaluronic Acid plus a blend of powerful natural fruit extracts, antioxidants and a peptide leaving skin with a smooth, refreshed appearance. The ultra-light texture absorbs instantly without leaving skin feeling greasy.
D·E·J Face Cream // a moisturizer inspired by the Dermal-Epidermal Junction (DEJ) which is a critical factor in skin aging. It’s a moisturizer that firms, lifts and smooths the skin.
Intellishade TruPhysical // first-of-its-kind, all-inclusive moisturizer designed to deliver the power of 5 anti-aging products in 1. With over 20 anti-aging ingredients and true 100% mineral sunscreen that is free of hidden chemical sunscreens.
PM SKINCARE ROUTINE;
Papaya Enzyme Cleanser // Papaya Fruit Extract lifts away impurities, gently polishes away dead skin cells, and nourishes skin with vitamins and minerals. Leaves all skin types feeling soft, clean and moisture-balanced.
A.G.E. EYE COMPLEX FOR DARK CIRCLES // for normal to dry skin types, its an advanced anti-wrinkle eye cream that improves the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, and crow’s feet. Also includes optical diffusers to diffuse light and immediately improve the radiance of tired dull-looking eyes.

Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 is an anti-aging cream that contains the optimal and patented lipid ratio of 2% pure ceramides 1 and 3, 4% natural cholesterol, and 2% fatty acids, which is proven to nourish skin and correct signs of aging. This unique lipid correction cream contains the first 2:4:2 cholesterol-dominant ratio to help restore skin’s external barrier and support natural self-repair, while nourishing skin for improvement in appearance, smoothness, pores, and overall radiance.
Babe Eyelash Serum // this lash-enhancing serum is full of ultra-nourishing and performance-based ingredients like biotin and amino acids that give you longer-looking lashes with the consistent nightly application. Take a look at my results here.
LED FACE MASK // I try to use this nightly, but it doesn’t always happen. I aim to use it at least 3x a week. The benefits are amazing, and it really does work. For a review on LED face masks, check out my YouTube.
