In my 30s, after I had my kids, IVF and postpartum hormones wrecked my pigmentation, and I honestly did not recognize myself in my own skin. And all I wanted was to feel good in my skin again. So I was layering 10+ different products, spending over $650 for my skincare routine. Just gone through my whole skincare for you guys, and I'm exhausted. As a new mom, the combination of a long skincare routine plus the price tag associated— I was never gonna stick to it. As a dermatologist, I knew there had to be a smarter way. And so I cooked. I made the exfoliating step a mask that brightens but I absolutely hate masks because A, I'm not patient, and two, who the hell has time? But that is the point because you will not use it every single day and you will not blow your face off. Times a week, et c'est parfait. And I know you're not supposed to have a favorite child, but hello, Hyper Serum. This powerhouse brightening serum both brightens and acts like a highlighter, so it's a win-win. And this baby, two in one vitamin C. In your moisturizer because we don't need another freaking step. 3 simple products, less than a quarter of what my old routine cost, and in a fraction of the time. Today in my 40s, I have never felt better in my own skin.
