MY EFFORTLESS 4-STEP SKINCARE ROUTINE: DOCTOR-APPROVED

Before I unveil my simple skincare secrets, let’s get one thing straight—I’m not one of those folks with a bathroom overflowing with products. I’m all about keeping things easy and breezy. Who’s got time for a convoluted routine, right? I’ve stuck with the same products for a solid decade, but recently, menopause threw me a curveball, and I had to shake things up to regain my youthful glow.

Here’s the shocker—I don’t wash my face (gasp!). Makeup? Nah, not my style. It all seemed to zap the life out of my skin, so I kicked the habit. But every once in a blue moon (like once or twice a week), I treat myself to the ZO Gentle Cleanser and Exfoliating Polish. It’s like a spa day in a bottle, with its delightful smell and skin-reviving exfoliation.

Step 1: TNS Advanced + Serum

Meet the star of my skincare show, TNS Advanced + Serum. I’ve been faithful to this baby for over a decade. As a doctor, I crave that scientific backing, and this serum delivers in spades. If I had to choose just one product, it would be this. Sure, it’s an investment, but you can put your Alle points to good use, and if you’re a monthly member, you’ll enjoy a sweet 10% discount, 15% when you’re ready for to re-purchase.

Now, about TNS Advanced+ Serum—it’s like a powerhouse of goodness, packed with growth factors, antioxidants, and peptides. This is the stuff that keeps my skin aging gracefully.

Step 2: SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic

SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic is another standout in my lineup. It’s my secret weapon for illuminating my complexion and tackling the woes of peri-menopausal skin.

This blend of vitamin C, vitamin E, and ferulic acid acts like a superhero cape against free radicals and sun damage. If you’re in the age-defying game and want to shine like a star, this is your go-to.

Step 3: ZO Illuminating AOX

In my morning routine, I’ve got a new addition—ZO Illuminating AOX. It’s a lightweight antioxidant with light moisture that’s a game-changer.

ZO Illuminating AOX is like that friend who can instantly boost your mood. It brightens your skin and makes you look fantastic. My estheticians gave me a gentle nudge to try it, and now I’m officially obsessed.

Step 4: SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Moisturizer (Evening)

When the evening rolls around, there’s one final step—SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Moisturizer. It’s the sole player in my bedtime routine. Let’s face it, I’m a wife, a mom to three amazing kids, and I have a full-time job. I don’t count wine as part of my evening skincare (though that would be fun). So, it’s Triple Lipid all the way!

Specialty Products:

• Need sun protection? I reach for ZO Smart Tone SPF, especially when I’m on vacation.
• The Phyto Corrective Masque is my post-sun-exposure secret. I don’t wipe it off; I let it work its magic overnight.
• Now, here’s a little confession—I probably use more of the Phyto Corrective Mist than I should admit. It’s like a quick pick-me-up, and guess what? My kids are huge fans and sneak it from my bathroom several times a week!
• Makeup isn’t my thing, but if I decide to dabble, the AGE Eye Cream is my secret sauce. It’s like a magic primer that keeps my makeup looking great all day.

In a Nutshell:

Skincare should be effortless and enjoyable. Find 2 or 3 products that you adore and stick with them for visible results. Here’s the kicker—all my products are top-notch medical-grade, providing quality without the hefty price tag. They’re probably a better deal than those department store options or the celeb-endorsed stuff.
