A short YouTube monologue by board-certified dermatologist Shereene Idriss presenting an observational framework of three 'peaks' of facial aging. The clip explains the first peak—typically around ages 28–30—attributed to collagen loss and early changes in facial bone structure based on trends seen in patients.

If you're not aging, you're dead. I'm not Einstein. I am a board certified dermatologist who focuses on cosmetics. Something that you may have noticed if you are in your late 20s, early 30s, is your first peak of aging. And I like to say that there are three peaks of aging in life. And this is purely observational from my patients, because if there's one good thing dermatologists are good at, it is trends and observing trends. So if you're in your late 20s, early 30s, and you notice in the past six months that your face isn't quite right, it's normal. Their first peak hits us around 28, 29, 30, when the combination of the loss of collagen and your bone structure beginning to recede starts to take a toll on our face.
