No lies are spoken in this video. I am 55 and have been diligent about skincare since my early 20s. Even when I hit 50, people would guess my age as mid-30s. Then, about a year ago, I noticed my skin was starting to sag. Now, don't get me wrong. It's still smooth, even tone and without lines and wrinkles... but it is sagging. Skincare can only do so much. Black may not crack, but it can certainly sag
I'm 52 and y'all she is not lying!! Aging is tripping me out!! Skin changed dramatically at 50 and now my stomach is trying to poke out! But I'm not not giving up without a fight! ❤
It's perimenopause for me. From my understanding menopause is one day, you are either in peri or post menopause. I'm not an age old gracefully girl. If there is a safe solution for the problem, I'm doing it!! Let me get one of these LED face masks!
The menopause conversation never happened in my family. My mother and aunts all had hysterectomies before the age of 45 and my grandmothers passed in their 50's. Thank you for keeping it real!!
Because doctors made women feel like they were crazy & even told them they were 😢 The medical community has been very dismissive of how the hormonal changes during this time could totally overhaul an aging woman's life. Self deleting rates & ideations go up during this time because our hormones are outta wack. And many doctors used to refuse HRT but this treatment could've saved so Many women the grief of dealing with these changes. However HRT & estrogen treatments are provided to those who have had gender affirming surgeries with no questions asked. It's actually wild. New information on all the symptoms associated with peri & menopause has only become available in the past few years and research is still ongoing. So please don't fault the women before us because they didn't know and didn't have as many resources as we do today.
She ain’t lying. I felt on top of the world at 42-45. My skin was beautiful. People never thought I was any older than 30-35. Unfortunately it felt like I woke up one day at 55 and looked and felt 60 plus. The changes in face laxity dæmn near felt like they happened over night. 😩
@@MO-ss5mj The loss of estrogen was only part of it. I am on HRT, but it’s aging in general. The muscle, bone, estrogen, and collagen loss in the face ramps up to high gear post 50 and the body becomes slow in new cell turn over. Aging is a crazy process. I definitely recommend starting HRT sooner rather than later. I thought I would look younger than my actual age forever, but woke up one day and it was like nope. You’re here now, what next. 😞
At 40 i was giving the youngins a run for their money. Met a monster ( energy vampire ) in the pandemic and 4 years later, i aged like no other. Let him go and my laugh lines and wrinkles are plumping out. The grey hair, im still working on it. We have to choose our mates wisely. ❤💐
@@styleandbeautydoctor Oh, I see it now. The " Energy Vampire" was a human being. I just saw the words "Energy Vampire", just assumed that it was an energy drink and pretty much stopped reading the rest of the statement. Thank you. This will help to remind me to get all of the information and facts before making an assumption.
Smh... the monsters. Smh. SAME for me. Givin the 20 yr olds a RUN at 40 too. The stresssssss that monster caused me aged the hell out of me too. Also, got rid of him and am regaining my more healthy youthful appearance as well. Just letting my gray hair go tho. 😅 So glad we had the sense to end those relationships. I will NEVER end up in a relationship like that again!
@@wendym3654 I am starting a weight loss journey because I am tired of being fat and grumpy..Yes it ages you and too many BW are overweight and we don't take care of ourselves in terms of what we eat and how much physical activity we take part in..So Thank you for your advice
Skin care is like keeping your house clean. It won’t help the structure of the house last long but keeping it clean prevents pest and maintains the appearance of surface areas.
That’s such a helpful analogy for me! The best skincare in the world can have you looking glowy, fix dryness or oiliness and minimize acne or hyperpigmentation but it can’t change how your bones sit or jowel development or anything structural or hormonal. Much like a house! You can give it a deep cleaning and polish the furniture but if you’ve got damage in the walls or outside factors affecting the foundation and pipes then all the polish and expensive furniture in the world won’t help.
I’ve been very blessed to have my mom talk to me about menopause very openly. I also have paternal aunts who told me what menopause was like for each of them. I’m 53 and I noticed that I have to take collagen pills, potassium, magnesium in order to remotely feel like myself. I do not eat very much processed food now I am mostly eating fruits and vegetables with lean proteins and that has really helped me as well. I make sure to drink mostly water in order to keep my skin well hydrated and I’ve had to really get lots of rest at night as I age. The weight gain has been a struggle for me, and even my mobility. Also, menopause has not been very kind to my hair at all. I used to have a long hair and now it’s like I have a lot of breakage in my hair is different lengths throughout my head.
Ladies try silica & biotin supplements for thinning hair and hair loss. Good for skin and nails too. Really can make a difference. Plus Growth Factors Skincare known as EGF. Not the cheapest but can definitely help. 👍🏾
@@chloeisme8783 😂lol. But I’m serious! I mean, you can’t just make a statement like that, not leave any advice and then peace out! 🤷🏾♀️ And I don’t care if she’s guarding her beauty secrets. I totally understand that & respect it IRL. But we’re faceless strangers on the internet, there’s no competition! Sneak a few pics of her products, please, sir! 🙏🏾😂
Hi beautiful, glad to hear you are covering menopause. I'm in menopause now and I swear I'm turning into my father with the amount of facial hair under my chin. Then there's the brain fog, the knee pain that suddenly came out of nowhere and the weight gain that I am struggling with as I watch my body change. I'm experiencing it like I woke up from a nightmare 😢
Skin is the largest organ of the body and everything we do eating food, exercise, stress level all play its part in the process as an esthetician I approve all of this
Yeah I'm 53 and menopause is not joke. I didn't have hot flashes but I feel like there has been muscle loss and issues hair in places where I don't want it and hair where I want it missing.
This is a blessing because I turned 58 in June and was preparing for a new job and overnight it seemed as if my face aged drastically. I NEVER had a Skin care regimen and just thought my black can’t crack and I would always look much younger than I am. I have SPENT SOOO much money one products the past couple of months being desperate to pull my face together because this was so unexpected 😱. I am seeing some noticeable changes and you definitely have given me hope❣️ Thank You❣️🥰
Menopause didn't have any negative effects for me. Only positive ones. I'm 60 now and I went through menopause at 54. I immediately started HRT (hormone replacement therapy) I don't have to suffer through painful periods anymore, but my hormone levels are still adequate enough for me to easily maintain my weight and they keep my skin looking young and glowing. Progesterone is great for skin. I look better now than before I went through menopause.
Speaking of plastic surgeons, Dr Amir Karam did a video on menopause. He's also done videos on diet and things to eat (food, vitamins/minerals, etc). As for face lifts, he said around 10 years and probably start around 50. He does say skincare can keep skin looking nice and of course he pushes his line but comparable products can probably be found for less money. Dr. Mary Claire Haver and Dr. Heather Hirsch talk about menopause in their videos. And I've seen a couple derms get more into drinking collagen (Dr. Haver sells one and also has a diet plan).
When it comes to facial aging from menopause, women born in the late 70s and after should consider themselves lucky. There have been lots of improvements made in HRT for the treatment of menopause that is so much safer.

I'm so glad you brought up weight. People don't realize just how much of a benefit it is in the long run to maintain a healthy weight. Just imagine a balloon that keeps getting inflated and deflated over and over again. It starts to get soft and wrinkled. Thats what happens to the skin with constant weight loss and gain.
💯 on all of this. I’m 41 and def prioritizing collagen boosters like retinal, peptides, microneedling and sunscreen (tinted SPF when I need a little extra protection). I think getting blood panel is also super critical as I’m extremely anemic and have low vitamin D so trying to supplement my deficiencies (which honestly got worse while on ozempic since I eat less) which has a big impact on overall body functions including skin and hair health. And TY for the lil cameo of Hydro Jelly Peptide serum on the balloon 🙃
Thank you for this information. And you even discussed menopause, THANK YOU!! Lol... you're right people don't want to talk about it, but I don't. Lol... I will tell somebody in a minute that I'm forgetting stuff because I'm in menopause. I have all kinds of menopause jokes. Lol... it's a part of life. I'm 52 and still have menstrual cycles 🙄 Lol... I'm so sick of it and I don't know when it will go away. But I love your content. Thank you.
One thing that's hardly discussed is eye health as we age. It looks like the light's going out when you look into an older person's eyes. Could be just my imagination, but we need to consider taking proper care of every part of our body as we grow older.
At almost 47 I agree with everything you say in this video. I plan on investing in a proper red light panel or mask. Bottom line with the neck is I plan to just get a neck lift if I have to. I really don’t want a turkey neck but the way my genetics setup and I can see the gobble gobble coming. 😭
Gurrrrrrrrrl menopause not for feint of heart! Its a nightmare! Menopause is like a 'punishment' for not being fertile anymore! u proper hukin perps up tho wi the info! Nice one! Good job! I can attest to 'every single word ur saying! Particularly the bit where u say its the best ive ever felt n myself but my body m mind sayin uh oh, we out! Lol. Im 58 fairly fit, woke up one day at about 45yo and looked in the mirror n my whole face had changed! Bug black bags under my eyes, literally like someone had punched me in the eye! They were not there the dau before! I was like wtf! I now kno sleepin on my back helps then disperse. Every part 0f ur life has to change! I eat better n exercise 'every' day now, but if i miss a week, u can tell! Boy o boy my advice to you young uns, START NOW. Build exercise into ur every morning, eat veg or salads or pro biotics for brekky, heavy lunch, very light dinner before 6pm! Listen, brain fog makin me feel like im stupid, n its very embarrassing too, im an established middle mgmnt but it feels like im incompetent! And the hot sweats ! Not good! I have to 'strip'. I cnt breathe sometimes, n they are thick n fast, at least every 30 mins! I shaved my head coz the jair was makin me tooo hot! Serious All thru the nite, sleep deprivation n broken sleep is debilitating as the hot sweats wake u all night! Some days im so tired i dont even kno my own name! My sheets soakin 'every nite', hot cold, cold hot! Divet on, divet off, alll nite! Its really not good at all. I have to wash sheets 'every' morning. And u have to manage all this silently like nothings up, when 'everything' is up! U can take hrt, which i tried, put on 2stone in a month! So came off focussed on diet which does work if u are committed! But listen, i was glad to lose my periods but wat i got instead by way of this menopause is a gazillion times worse! Listen,,,, This is how bad it messed me up, Id rather have the period back! U better look after wat the lord gave u ciz if u dont,,, itll b gone in the cluck of a finger! Frfr
My skin just started changing I am 61. I have no wrinkles or fone lines, just noticing loss of firmness. I will be getting a facial now every month and using led.
@@val6189it must be DNA because I didn't even take care of my skin at all in my youth and only started using facial cream and only the original oil of Olay about 10 years ago when I asked a colleague who was a year older than me how she had such beautiful skin and I didn't even use that religiously and I'm ashamed to say didn't even remove my makeup at night. I'm 72 years old now and even my doctors are surprised when they look at my chart. Went to the doctors two weeks ago and two ladies in the office maybe in their thirties or early forties told me I have beautiful skin. It's very even toned and people have mistaken me for wearing foundation which I only started doing in the last 10 years very lightly because now there is more variety and I finally found some colors that will match my skin. Currently I am using a face tint and I like that a lot better I just really never liked foundation. But since I never really took active care of my skin, it's got to be DNA😂. I only started looking at TH-cam videos for facial care and applying makeup when I asked another colleague also near my age always beautifully made up where she learned to do it and she told me you tube. My favorite makeup artist on TH-cam is a young girl in her twenties because she doesn't use expensive makeup. That's where I got the idea of using tints rather than foundation. I really think DNA is the main foundation for younger-looking skin more than anything else, definitely follow the advice of improvement from the inside out, water, sleep, rest, avoid drama, use retinol, avoid sun, don't frown!
Started sunscreen daily at age 47 on my chest and neck, even indoors. Put it on my face for yard work and shoveling. Now I use it on my hands and forearms when driving.
Literally winter is my friend. I'm 52, started Peri at 37 due to an old eating disorder. Now I take collagen, monitor every morsel on myfitnesspal. Summer is brutal for me, because I sweat in my hair more during that time. Can't even wear a silk press in the summertime lol. I take silica, collagen, hibiscus tea. I was on HRT for a year, and got off, lost 25 lbs immediately after ceasing. Vitamin D and K are your friend. Incorporate omega 3 in the diet. I eat a high fiber, protein, low-moderate carb diet. Love the video 🌺❤️
Great information!! At 57 I'm trying to lose weight (cause that menopause is not a myth) and to me my facial skin looks ok but I want to do more preventative stuff with out doing a facelift or injectables...alas I do love watching Dr. Truesdale turn back time with his facelifts. By the way you look beautiful with no make-up as well.
I was focusing on my eyes, but i am seeing things happening around my mouth😢. Sleep on your back, ladies. The side of my face that I slept on most of my life is dropping faster than the other 😂.
I'm 58. I was out n about with a friend, who is 68. Someone he knows asked if I was his daughter. When I told him my age, he said "no way, I thought you were in your mid 30's".... I'll take that 😊👌🏾😝
Consider your lifestyle: raised in the city vs. country; partying and indulging in alcohol; how much water you drink daily. These must be considered on top of diet and exercise. Caring for your skin is critical, as I began at she 19 and am now 64. Aging, family background, weight gain/loss, surgeries, and menopause aside, i started being aware of my skin and cared/watched over the years, so acne and other breakouts were minimal or absent.
Excellent video! At 62, 63 I began to struggle with hyperpigmentation and I have worn sunscreen for decades. But prior to Covid my drive to work was facing the sun and the drive home was facing the sun. I always had smooth clear skin but the struggle with hyperpigmentation now along with all the other facial changes, menopause suprises, etc. Whew! Great information! Just subscribed.
Yup 3 years ago at 46 I went from hating my baby fat cheeks to whoa where did it go? I started perimenopause at 48 and I am doing all the things to age as well as possible. The diet, the skincare and exercise and when I need it the procedures. I am going to try red light therapy to add to my arsenal for now,
Listen sis, not ☝🏾 lie told, especially when it comes to weight loss after 30. I had WLS and I experienced some premature aging due to it but I swear it worsened when I began taking Ozempic and then Wegovy. Truthfully between the WLS and the GLP-1s I still lost < a total of 100lbs and that was over a period of 4 years. My face and neck DROPPED 😢😬🫠🫠.
There are so many things you can do to turn back the clock but you can’t stop it from ticking. My face changed exactly at 44 years and 6 months. And that’s with some skincare dedicated towards anti-aging (10years), supplements anchored with collagen and silica (10years), a healthy-ish diet filled with G-bombs (40 years), and mostly consistent exercise (30 years). It’s like it just laughed and said AND SO?? I decided to just roll with it, I can’t come and kill myself with age defying calisthenics when chronos is more determined than I am.

47 yo going through peri… it’s sooo damn 😫😫😫. Brain fog so bad I thought I had oncoming dementia. Insomnia. Scalp issues/hair thinning. Child we can’t win 🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️
Doctors just had success with medication to make sure women can have their periods forever. Don't know what's worse. The only think I look forward to that comes with aging is not having a period. 😂😂😂
👀it’s all about your environment and your internal relationship with God and self!!!eat mostly natural foods along with exercise 3-4 days out the week!, have me time nails/hair/the works!, go on vacations or small get aways!, have goals or a bucket list, ALWAYS PUT GOD FIRST!🙏🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏🏿🙏🏾🌍🌎life is still a gift when you get older I PROMISE THERE IS SOME ONE WHO WANTS YOUR OXYGEN RIGHT NOW!, I’m 43 btw and some people think my kids (4-kids)are my brothers or sisters 😑but even if I were to look older IM STILL BLESS AND IM HERE!😀😇God bless you all!
I use ghee (ghee works wonders on under eye skin area) organic castor oil for my skin, only eat real butter, (good for hormone balance) olive oil, virgin coconut oil, bone broth, (organ) meat. I'm a multi racial woman, just turned 50, still look like in my mid thirties and in the process of launching an anti-aging skincare brand. Keep up the good work ladies!
Menopause literally took over my life. I have 10 plus symptoms. I thought I was dying. I had to fold and get the patch from Winona. Menopause is brutal!!!!! My body hurts, numbing and tingling in my foot, flashes, brain fog, acne, emotional, etc...
You look amazing for 43. At the same age, I (white though) suffer from fat pads loss and loose skin on my lower face , jowling and platysma. It all happened in last couple of years 😢
Love love lovvveeeee your content!! And you hit the nail on the head with that Menopause, can you do a segment on premi and meno? Bc it is something that isnt talked about enough.
Chile I’m an elder millennial and the perimenopause is kicking my butt. Acne, hair loss, brain fog the joint pain the irregular cycles. It’s ghetto over here.
Thank you! I also see all these black celebs 50-80+ with eyes snatched up so hard they look Asian and with the look of an facelift obvious, and everyone hollering “see Black don’t crack”. 😂
32 and already noticing jowls and fine lines on my forehead 🥲guess I should have had my kid in my early 20s and not when I almost hit 30 because I be aging FAST. these toddler years are NOT for the weak
As a farmer, it’s hard to stay out of the sun but I do use sunscreen, have a big hat, do retinol and red light therapy often. Sun avoidance is tough but I try. 🙏🏽
God has blessed black women in particular with looking young forever Lol . Like Oprah used to say if a black women looks old she really is "old"! Yup we are blessed!
It's only people in America and Europe that talk about skincare and sunscreen. You can live your entire life in Africa without seeing someone that uses skincare and sunscreen. The price is enough to drive many crazy. It's funny that the people that don't experience the African sun go out daily wearing them. Perhaps it's the change in weather summer and winter which is not the case in most African countries.
I'm a Herbologist over 30years. Weight control, eating healthy, drinking water and exercises also make a BIG DIFFERENCE which is more important than anything!! How we eat is for diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. Your skin will show it inside and out. You need more than red light or green light. Stay healthy, ladies, plus your genes.You don't want all that fat around your heart either.
I have always understood that the most serums or topical solutions can do at best and just barely is help with skin texture and discoloration. and the two most powerful ingredients are Retin A and Ascorbic acid with hydroquinone being the gold standard for discoloration
Where has this channel been when I needed you 10 years ago??!! Everything she's saying is on point. Very informative video and hilarious 😅🤣.......I'm also reading some of the comments and I'm creasing up about their menopause experience, I can totally relate.
I love your personality and smile! I believe I heard you on another podcast that tells celebrities stories. If it is not you, your voice is very charismatic like that TH-camr.
Listen! Changes do occur in earlier years, BUTTT, the real, visible changes happen, significantly, post menopause! Im 54 now, but 53 is really when muscle laxity started to become more apparent, visible and drastic because of everything mentioned in this video. So get ready. Dont say i didn't warn you. Lol! The information and advice given in this video are on point. Take heed! ❤ #excellentdelivery
This is the first time I’ve been on your channel and I have to tell you that although your make up looks bomb, genuinely your make up looks amazing, but those snapshots of you with no make up, knocked 10 years off you easily. It’s crazy, isn’t it? All of us over 40s ladies out here chasing youth and all it took was for us to take our makeup off and “puff years gone” (of course you are a lady of colour so you have an advantage). I’ll tell you who you remind me of without your make up, you look like a slightly darker version of Cyntoia Brown from that Netflix documentary “From Murder to Mercy” .
Tip for loosing weight I do is loosing ten extra pounds then bulking after that. It plumps everything out while still keeping in shape and the lean muscle I’ve built up. I be looking kinda 👀 while dieting but after bulking I look terrific
Good video! ❤️❤️🙌🏾🙌🏾I just subscribed! Thank you! I do wanna say though, that aging is a privilege. Not everyone MAKES it to middle age and beyond. Guess what?! We’re alive! Looking your age is a blessing and a privilege. The sag is real AND I’m grateful to have made it to 55! 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Great video but vitamin D from the sun is really important and we are lacking vitamin D. Balance is key when it comes to sun exposure. Also if our diet is not clean, sun exposure will impact our skin more in a negative way. Having measured exposure to the sun is absolutely necessary.
I love this. Because, I say to my Black friend's. Think of yourself as a bread already toasted, and now you decide to go outside without sun screen. What do you think will happen? Put your toasted bread back in the toaster for the same time, it start's to burn. Take a white bread and a toasted bread and put it in the oven together, what happens. So, thank you for sharing. I am doing what you talked about, which has made me take out my red light now.
For some reason as a young person, I always knew how I wanted to look as I got older. Great skin, body and teeth 😁😁😁. Watching all the glamorous older women around me inspired me!! Thank you for your channel..but don't forget about the thing that ages most women...STRESS!!
Honestly, if you're on the younger side, keeping up with your nutrition, sleep and stress is plenty enough unless you have certain conditions. I had absolutely horrific skin at 16 (I'm 20 now). Acne, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, I even had jowls forming and my neck started sagging. One blood panel later, we found out I was very deficient in vitamin B12, D and had low potassium. B12 and potassium are so important for nerve and muscle functioning, I felt an instant increase in strength and firmness after starting supplementation like B12 shots. Started a simple but targetted skincare routine, started working out for 30mins 3 days a week and started a daily pre+probiotic et voila, my skin's pristine. Acne gone (could just be that I grew out of my teenage acne), wrinkles gone, jowls gone, my skin is firm and I feel string.
I'm absolutely 😅 cracking up, l am 54 ,and my confidence is on fire 🔥, and yes the tummy or waist has tripled lol and other menopausal impacts. The impact of poor broken sleep is constant concern.
Ladies weight train and kick excessive cardio to maintain bone density. For the collagen don't just drink collagen or take supplements get your oranges or foods high in vitamin c. Skin massage massage massage everything. And use sunscreen going out and Aloe Vera on exposed skin coming in. Eradicate all unhealthy relationships business or personal as you will age even faster staying in them. Have a place to pray, meditate, full of love , peace positive ideas and put up pictures to remind you how beautiful you are. Best to you ladies 50 and embracing it.

what I noticed is not only stress but grief can really show in your face. Following the passing of my mother, it truly hit me.
FACTS! When I lost my mom at 45, I aged 10 years. Her death was unexpectedly. So was the aftermath of my face.
I’m 45 started strength training , keeping the weight off , high protein diet and little sugar. Weight can age us
YES!! I THINK WEIGHT IS NUMBER ONE FOR US, ESPECIALLY IN REGARDS TO HOW IT AGES US! EXERCISE SLOWS THE AGING PROCESS TREMENDOUSLY!!
@@wendym3654 I am starting a weight loss journey because I am tired of being fat and grumpy..Yes it ages you and too many BW are overweight and we don't take care of ourselves in terms of what we eat and how much physical activity we take part in..So Thank you for your advice
I'm sorry gaining weight aged me. Losing weight makes me look younger. Gaining weight gave me jowls
Same here I look younger when I'm at the right BMI
Yep,weight ages bw big time!
Opposite for me.
This is so true I’m so glad I lost over 50 pounds in the last year because it does make me look and feel older!
@@MsLotusBlooms So true. I've always wondered why. Like my face looks like a different person when I'm overweight vs when @ ideal weight.☹
Skin care is like keeping your house clean. It won’t help the structure of the house last long but keeping it clean prevents pest and maintains the appearance of surface areas.
That’s such a helpful analogy for me! The best skincare in the world can have you looking glowy, fix dryness or oiliness and minimize acne or hyperpigmentation but it can’t change how your bones sit or jowel development or anything structural or hormonal. Much like a house! You can give it a deep cleaning and polish the furniture but if you’ve got damage in the walls or outside factors affecting the foundation and pipes then all the polish and expensive furniture in the world won’t help.
I’ve been very blessed to have my mom talk to me about menopause very openly. I also have paternal aunts who told me what menopause was like for each of them. I’m 53 and I noticed that I have to take collagen pills, potassium, magnesium in order to remotely feel like myself. I do not eat very much processed food now I am mostly eating fruits and vegetables with lean proteins and that has really helped me as well. I make sure to drink mostly water in order to keep my skin well hydrated and I’ve had to really get lots of rest at night as I age. The weight gain has been a struggle for me, and even my mobility. Also, menopause has not been very kind to my hair at all. I used to have a long hair and now it’s like I have a lot of breakage in my hair is different lengths throughout my head.
Yeah those supplements that you are taking are necessary. Electrolytes and collagen are necessary 🙂
Ladies try silica & biotin supplements for thinning hair and hair loss. Good for skin and nails too. Really can make a difference. Plus Growth Factors Skincare known as EGF. Not the cheapest but can definitely help. 👍🏾

Hi beautiful, glad to hear you are covering menopause. I'm in menopause now and I swear I'm turning into my father with the amount of facial hair under my chin. Then there's the brain fog, the knee pain that suddenly came out of nowhere and the weight gain that I am struggling with as I watch my body change. I'm experiencing it like I woke up from a nightmare 😢
Adapt.. is the only way to survive..
Skin care: rose hip oil, olive oil
Body care: coconut oil, almond oil
Dificult parts(feet, hand, knees, elbows): shea butter, cocoa butter, lard..
Hair care: nettle lotion, castor oil for scalp and balding spots; for hair: lavender oil, olive oil, argan oil..
NO: added sugar, alcohol beverages, procesed food.. (just sometimes)
YES: coconut oil, butter, olive oil, eggs, meat, healthy carbohidrates.
Exercise: weight lifting, calistenics.. walking... dancing.. anything you like..

8:50 Thank you. People don't want to hear this. They think skinny is beauty and don't consider skin quality and healthy teeth.
Me too! Excessive weight gain just makes me look older and frumpy.
@nicoleraheem Same here, unfortunately.
Skin is the largest organ of the body and everything we do eating food, exercise, stress level all play its part in the process as an esthetician I approve all of this
Yeah I'm 53 and menopause is not joke. I didn't have hot flashes but I feel like there has been muscle loss and issues hair in places where I don't want it and hair where I want it missing.
Awwww😂 I'm sorry sis to laugh but I hear this so much.

Same here 😊
This is a blessing because I turned 58 in June and was preparing for a new job and overnight it seemed as if my face aged drastically. I NEVER had a Skin care regimen and just thought my black can’t crack and I would always look much younger than I am. I have SPENT SOOO much money one products the past couple of months being desperate to pull my face together because this was so unexpected 😱. I am seeing some noticeable changes and you definitely have given me hope❣️ Thank You❣️🥰
Menopause didn't have any negative effects for me. Only positive ones. I'm 60 now and I went through menopause at 54. I immediately started HRT (hormone replacement therapy) I don't have to suffer through painful periods anymore, but my hormone levels are still adequate enough for me to easily maintain my weight and they keep my skin looking young and glowing. Progesterone is great for skin. I look better now than before I went through menopause.
Proper nutrition, water, exfoliating, serums, vitamins and menopause all play parts in your aging skin.
Speaking of plastic surgeons, Dr Amir Karam did a video on menopause. He's also done videos on diet and things to eat (food, vitamins/minerals, etc). As for face lifts, he said around 10 years and probably start around 50. He does say skincare can keep skin looking nice and of course he pushes his line but comparable products can probably be found for less money. Dr. Mary Claire Haver and Dr. Heather Hirsch talk about menopause in their videos. And I've seen a couple derms get more into drinking collagen (Dr. Haver sells one and also has a diet plan).
When it comes to facial aging from menopause, women born in the late 70s and after should consider themselves lucky. There have been lots of improvements made in HRT for the treatment of menopause that is so much safer.
I have quite pale skin but clicked out curiousity and really liked your approach-- we can be interested in looking our best, while not fighting aging.

I'm so glad you brought up weight. People don't realize just how much of a benefit it is in the long run to maintain a healthy weight. Just imagine a balloon that keeps getting inflated and deflated over and over again. It starts to get soft and wrinkled. Thats what happens to the skin with constant weight loss and gain.
I'm sooo glad someone mentioned it. Menopause is horrible. It's a 🤬 curse
💯 on all of this. I’m 41 and def prioritizing collagen boosters like retinal, peptides, microneedling and sunscreen (tinted SPF when I need a little extra protection). I think getting blood panel is also super critical as I’m extremely anemic and have low vitamin D so trying to supplement my deficiencies (which honestly got worse while on ozempic since I eat less) which has a big impact on overall body functions including skin and hair health. And TY for the lil cameo of Hydro Jelly Peptide serum on the balloon 🙃
Thank you for this information. And you even discussed menopause, THANK YOU!! Lol... you're right people don't want to talk about it, but I don't. Lol... I will tell somebody in a minute that I'm forgetting stuff because I'm in menopause. I have all kinds of menopause jokes. Lol... it's a part of life. I'm 52 and still have menstrual cycles 🙄 Lol... I'm so sick of it and I don't know when it will go away. But I love your content. Thank you.
thank you 💕
If you still have your menstrual cycle then I guess you would be perimenopausal.
@@blueseptember2174 yes. Getting ready for the change. 😊
One thing that's hardly discussed is eye health as we age. It looks like the light's going out when you look into an older person's eyes. Could be just my imagination, but we need to consider taking proper care of every part of our body as we grow older.
At almost 47 I agree with everything you say in this video. I plan on investing in a proper red light panel or mask. Bottom line with the neck is I plan to just get a neck lift if I have to. I really don’t want a turkey neck but the way my genetics setup and I can see the gobble gobble coming. 😭
Gurrrrrrrrrl menopause not for feint of heart! Its a nightmare!
Menopause is like a 'punishment' for not being fertile anymore!
u proper hukin perps up tho wi the info! Nice one! Good job!
I can attest to 'every single word ur saying! Particularly the bit where u say its the best ive ever felt n myself but my body m mind sayin uh oh, we out! Lol. Im 58 fairly fit, woke up one day at about 45yo and looked in the mirror n my whole face had changed! Bug black bags under my eyes, literally like someone had punched me in the eye! They were not there the dau before! I was like wtf! I now kno sleepin on my back helps then disperse. Every part 0f ur life has to change! I eat better n exercise 'every' day now, but if i miss a week, u can tell! Boy o boy my advice to you young uns, START NOW. Build exercise into ur every morning, eat veg or salads or pro biotics for brekky, heavy lunch, very light dinner before 6pm! Listen, brain fog makin me feel like im stupid, n its very embarrassing too, im an established middle mgmnt but it feels like im incompetent! And the hot sweats ! Not good! I have to 'strip'. I cnt breathe sometimes, n they are thick n fast, at least every 30 mins! I shaved my head coz the jair was makin me tooo hot! Serious
All thru the nite, sleep deprivation n broken sleep is debilitating as the hot sweats wake u all night! Some days im so tired i dont even kno my own name! My sheets soakin 'every nite', hot cold, cold hot! Divet on, divet off, alll nite! Its really not good at all. I have to wash sheets 'every' morning. And u have to manage all this silently like nothings up, when 'everything' is up! U can take hrt, which i tried, put on 2stone in a month! So came off focussed on diet which does work if u are committed! But listen, i was glad to lose my periods but wat i got instead by way of this menopause is a gazillion times worse! Listen,,,,
This is how bad it messed me up, Id rather have the period back!
U better look after wat the lord gave u ciz if u dont,,, itll b gone in the cluck of a finger! Frfr
My skin just started changing I am 61. I have no wrinkles or fone lines, just noticing loss of firmness. I will be getting a facial now every month and using led.
Same here. Just turned 61 this past August. No wrinkles or fine lines. A little loss of firmness around jawlines.
Same here. I didn't even have cellulite until I turned 61 and then bang creepy skin, cellulite and crow feet starting to form.
Please share your secrets, ladies
@@val6189it must be DNA because I didn't even take care of my skin at all in my youth and only started using facial cream and only the original oil of Olay about 10 years ago when I asked a colleague who was a year older than me how she had such beautiful skin and I didn't even use that religiously and I'm ashamed to say didn't even remove my makeup at night. I'm 72 years old now and even my doctors are surprised when they look at my chart. Went to the doctors two weeks ago and two ladies in the office maybe in their thirties or early forties told me I have beautiful skin. It's very even toned and people have mistaken me for wearing foundation which I only started doing in the last 10 years very lightly because now there is more variety and I finally found some colors that will match my skin. Currently I am using a face tint and I like that a lot better I just really never liked foundation. But since I never really took active care of my skin, it's got to be DNA😂. I only started looking at TH-cam videos for facial care and applying makeup when I asked another colleague also near my age always beautifully made up where she learned to do it and she told me you tube. My favorite makeup artist on TH-cam is a young girl in her twenties because she doesn't use expensive makeup. That's where I got the idea of using tints rather than foundation. I really think DNA is the main foundation for younger-looking skin more than anything else, definitely follow the advice of improvement from the inside out, water, sleep, rest, avoid drama, use retinol, avoid sun, don't frown!
Facial exercises okay sis, check it out!
Started sunscreen daily at age 47 on my chest and neck, even indoors. Put it on my face for yard work and shoveling. Now I use it on my hands and forearms when driving.
Don't forget your ears. 😊
I 😂😂😂😂 totally get it. 43 as well. Don't understand what happened between 39 and 41. It's awful. My goodness!!!
Facial massages and facial exercise 😀
Literally winter is my friend. I'm 52, started Peri at 37 due to an old eating disorder. Now I take collagen, monitor every morsel on myfitnesspal. Summer is brutal for me, because I sweat in my hair more during that time. Can't even wear a silk press in the summertime lol. I take silica, collagen, hibiscus tea. I was on HRT for a year, and got off, lost 25 lbs immediately after ceasing. Vitamin D and K are your friend. Incorporate omega 3 in the diet. I eat a high fiber, protein, low-moderate carb diet. Love the video 🌺❤️
Great information!! At 57 I'm trying to lose weight (cause that menopause is not a myth) and to me my facial skin looks ok but I want to do more preventative stuff with out doing a facelift or injectables...alas I do love watching Dr. Truesdale turn back time with his facelifts. By the way you look beautiful with no make-up as well.
I was focusing on my eyes, but i am seeing things happening around my mouth😢. Sleep on your back, ladies. The side of my face that I slept on most of my life is dropping faster than the other 😂.
God, you’re so good at explaining concepts from a different but very good perspective x
I'm 58. I was out n about with a friend, who is 68. Someone he knows asked if I was his daughter. When I told him my age, he said "no way, I thought you were in your mid 30's".... I'll take that 😊👌🏾😝
Consider your lifestyle: raised in the city vs. country; partying and indulging in alcohol; how much water you drink daily. These must be considered on top of diet and exercise. Caring for your skin is critical, as I began at she 19 and am now 64. Aging, family background, weight gain/loss, surgeries, and menopause aside, i started being aware of my skin and cared/watched over the years, so acne and other breakouts were minimal or absent.
This is so educational while being entertaining! Thank You for sharing this information
Excellent video! At 62, 63 I began to struggle with hyperpigmentation and I have worn sunscreen for decades. But prior to Covid my drive to work was facing the sun and the drive home was facing the sun. I always had smooth clear skin but the struggle with hyperpigmentation now along with all the other facial changes, menopause suprises, etc. Whew! Great information! Just subscribed.
Yup 3 years ago at 46 I went from hating my baby fat cheeks to whoa where did it go? I started perimenopause at 48 and I am doing all the things to age as well as possible. The diet, the skincare and exercise and when I need it the procedures. I am going to try red light therapy to add to my arsenal for now,
Listen sis, not ☝🏾 lie told, especially when it comes to weight loss after 30. I had WLS and I experienced some premature aging due to it but I swear it worsened when I began taking Ozempic and then Wegovy. Truthfully between the WLS and the GLP-1s I still lost < a total of 100lbs and that was over a period of 4 years. My face and neck DROPPED 😢😬🫠🫠.
Diet is key. Low sugar high protein.
I agree, microneedling and acid peels will help the most which I think people should start using in their early 30s
Retinol A is a game changer , start using as soon as possible
Retain A or retinol?
There are so many things you can do to turn back the clock but you can’t stop it from ticking. My face changed exactly at 44 years and 6 months. And that’s with some skincare dedicated towards anti-aging (10years), supplements anchored with collagen and silica (10years), a healthy-ish diet filled with G-bombs (40 years), and mostly consistent exercise (30 years). It’s like it just laughed and said AND SO?? I decided to just roll with it, I can’t come and kill myself with age defying calisthenics when chronos is more determined than I am.
You sound Nigerian 😅

I’m 56 and have been eating organic since 1994 and it does payoff! Trust! 💯 🎉❤
Avoiding stress, EATing right, proper hydration, facial exercises, collagen supplements, and an overall clean healthy lifestyle are key as well ❤
I use ghee (ghee works wonders on under eye skin area) organic castor oil for my skin, only eat real butter, (good for hormone balance) olive oil, virgin coconut oil, bone broth, (organ) meat.

This was great, I’m so happy this came up in my feed
This was a great suggestion from TH-cam , I like her 😊
heyyy! thank you so much 💕
Thank you! I also see all these black celebs 50-80+ with eyes snatched up so hard they look Asian and with the look of an facelift obvious, and everyone hollering “see Black don’t crack”. 😂
32 and already noticing jowls and fine lines on my forehead 🥲guess I should have had my kid in my early 20s and not when I almost hit 30 because I be aging FAST. these toddler years are NOT for the weak
As a farmer, it’s hard to stay out of the sun but I do use sunscreen, have a big hat, do retinol and red light therapy often. Sun avoidance is tough but I try. 🙏🏽

God has blessed black women in particular with looking young forever Lol . Like Oprah used to say if a black women looks old she really is "old"! Yup we are blessed!
It’s not true, my coworkers are black and look old.
@@MBT372 Yeah right!
@@MBT372Maybe it's because they're actually old, like Oprah said?
They're in their late fifties
Alcohol plays a huge role. My great grandma is 95 she never drank she looks younger than her sisters 65 year old children.
So how come the African street vendors still look young despite spending most of their lives under the sun with no sun tan?
Genetics, healthy diet and a hat
+ Natural sun protectants like Shea butter
It's only people in America and Europe that talk about skincare and sunscreen. You can live your entire life in Africa without seeing someone that uses skincare and sunscreen. The price is enough to drive many crazy. It's funny that the people that don't experience the African sun go out daily wearing them. Perhaps it's the change in weather summer and winter which is not the case in most African countries.
Natural skincare, drinking plenty of water, shade during the sun's most hot time...little to no processed food.

I'm a Herbologist over 30years. Weight control, eating healthy, drinking water and exercises also make a BIG DIFFERENCE which is more important than anything!!
How we eat is for diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. Your skin will show it inside and out. You need more than red light or green light.
Stay healthy, ladies, plus your genes.You don't want all that fat around your heart either.
I have always understood that the most serums or topical solutions can do at best and just barely is help with skin texture and discoloration. and the two most powerful ingredients are Retin A and Ascorbic acid with hydroquinone being the gold standard for discoloration
I really appreciate this lady! She helps me teach my loved ones about the face!

This was such a great video. Thank you Sis. You're amazing!... from one 40-something product junkie serious about to anti-aging sista to another.
This is the first time I’ve been on your channel and I have to tell you that although your make up looks bomb, genuinely your make up looks amazing, but those snapshots of you with no make up, knocked 10 years off you easily.
It’s crazy, isn’t it? All of us over 40s ladies out here chasing youth and all it took was for us to take our makeup off and “puff years gone” (of course you are a lady of colour so you have an advantage).
I’ll tell you who you remind me of without your make up, you look like a slightly darker version of Cyntoia Brown from that Netflix documentary “From Murder to Mercy” .
I love your humor and the way ❤❤ you deliver the truth 😊😂😂
Tip for loosing weight I do is loosing ten extra pounds then bulking after that. It plumps everything out while still keeping in shape and the lean muscle I’ve built up. I be looking kinda 👀 while dieting but after bulking I look terrific
What is bulking?
I think they mean to add muscle after you lose the amount of fat you desire to be rid of.@@TheLoveweaver

Great video but vitamin D from the sun is really important and we are lacking vitamin D. Balance is key when it comes to sun exposure. Also if our diet is not clean, sun exposure will impact our skin more in a negative way. Having measured exposure to the sun is absolutely necessary.
I love this. Because, I say to my Black friend's. Think of yourself as a bread already toasted, and now you decide to go outside without sun screen. What do you think will happen? Put your toasted bread back in the toaster for the same time, it start's to burn. Take a white bread and a toasted bread and put it in the oven together, what happens. So, thank you for sharing. I am doing what you talked about, which has made me take out my red light now.

I'm 37 and I'm realizing how dry my skin is becoming. Moisturize, moisturize and moisturize people 😂 and don't forget sunscreen
Honestly, if you're on the younger side, keeping up with your nutrition, sleep and stress is plenty enough unless you have certain conditions. I had absolutely horrific skin at 16 (I'm 20 now). Acne, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, I even had jowls forming and my neck started sagging. One blood panel later, we found out I was very deficient in vitamin B12, D and had low potassium. B12 and potassium are so important for nerve and muscle functioning, I felt an instant increase in strength and firmness after starting supplementation like B12 shots. Started a simple but targetted skincare routine, started working out for 30mins 3 days a week and started a daily pre+probiotic et voila, my skin's pristine. Acne gone (could just be that I grew out of my teenage acne), wrinkles gone, jowls gone, my skin is firm and I feel string.
I'm absolutely 😅 cracking up, l am 54 ,and my confidence is on fire 🔥, and yes the tummy or waist has tripled lol and other menopausal impacts.
The impact of poor broken sleep is constant concern.
Ha. The walking dead segment had me rollin😂 I was thinking the same thing on my weight loss journey.
lmaooooo gotta be in fighting mode because you nevaaaaaa know lol
In my personal experience, dark skin girlies age so gracefully. They look the same for years! ❤
