Microneedling 101: What It Actually Is, and Why I'm Obsessed
Microneedling, in my opinion, is the MVP of anti-aging. The results take time, but once I started noticing changes in my skin, I understood the hype.
How does microneedling work?
Microneedling uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering its natural repair process and supporting collagen production.
It can help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, dark spots, and uneven skin texture. It can also help improve skin firmness.
Microneedling Prep: How I Set Up for a Safe, Clean Session at Home
If you're microneedling at home, prep is everything. Before I even pick up my device, I make sure my space, my tools, and my skin are completely clean.
Here's exactly how I prep, whether I'm working on my face, arms, legs, or stomach.
Tox Facial or Barbie Facial. What’s the difference?
Tox facial time again. Y’all always have questions about this, so let’s talk about it.
What is a tox facial?
A tox facial uses neurotoxin with the goal of improving the skin’s surface appearance. You may also hear it called a Barbie facial.
I’m microneedling neurotoxin at a very superficial depth with a 36-pin cartridge using my Dr. Pen M8S.

What Is Nano Infusion? My Favorite Treatment for a Glass Skin Glow
What is nano infusion?
Nano infusion, also called nano needling or nano microneedling, is one of my favorite ways to boost glow, hydration, and product absorption.
Instead of needles, nano cartridges use tiny silicone or rubber pyramid tips, usually round or square tipped, to gently press skincare into the very top layer of the skin (epidermis).
My Skin Flooding Routine for a Plump, Glass Skin Glow
Skin flooding changed my skin faster than anything I’ve ever tried. I saw a difference in days, and honestly, I thought my skin was already super hydrated.
Here’s what I do and how you can start without buying a whole shelf of products.

My Nighttime Anti-Aging Skincare Routine: How I Layer My Skincare
Does anyone else feel like doing their skincare at the end of the night is as good as taking off your bra? It’s the best thing ever.
This is my anti-aging nighttime skincare routine in my late 40s, and yes, it has 16 steps. Some nights it has five when I’m really tired. Some nights it might have 20. You guys already know I’m extra when it comes to skincare. I have a gazillion products, and I enjoy using them.
You don’t need to copy every step. But if you’re wondering what order everything goes in, let’s talk about how I layer my skincare, what I use, and what I love.
My Morning Anti-Aging Skincare Routine: Make It Work for Your Skin
I don’t share my full morning and nighttime skincare routines very often because there are so many steps, and I know that can feel overwhelming.
Everyone’s skincare routine looks different, and mine? Mine is a lot. I just love skincare.
Some people find one skincare line they love and use everything from that brand. I am not that girl. I’m a more the merrier kind of girl.
And surprisingly, I love over-the-counter skincare. I don’t think skincare has to be expensive to work.
Scalp Microneedling for Hair Growth: Why I Added Hair Stamping to My Routine
We’re not just microneedling our faces around here. Yes, I stamp my scalp too.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve noticed thinning around my hairline, and even my eyebrows aren’t what they used to be. Welcome to menopause.
Hair stamping is one of the things I’ve added to my hair growth routine.

What Is Mesotherapy? Why I Love Skin Boosters
This is a “we listen and we don’t judge” kind of skincare day, because we know Heather does a lot of things to herself in the name of beauty.
Today I’m going to share my experience from a full day of mesotherapy skin boosters.
First of all, what is mesotherapy?
My Hair Care Routine for Long, Healthy Hair
This is my real hair. No extensions.
I originally switched to Monat because I liked their ingredients. Their products are vegan, made without parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, or petroleum. That drew me in, but how my hair looks and feels and the growth I’ve experienced is what’s kept me using it for the past two and a half years.

My Anti-Aging Body Care Routine: What I Use and Why
I used to be a one-body-wash girl, and used one lotion after my shower. That was it.
Well, I’ve gotten older, I’ve had to step up my game, and my skin shows it. I want body products that do more than smell good. I want skincare for my body, too, and I went from one shower gel to a whole skincare routine!
I shower in the morning and apply my hydrating body care while my skin is still a little damp; the one little cutout in my shower doesn’t even come close to holding everything I use.
Why my body care has changed after 40
My Soft Feet Routine: No Crusty, Musty Feet Around Here
If you want super soft feet, this is a routine I’ve used for years. I saw it from another influencer, and I’ve used it ever since.
What I use
I use The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% solution and a urea foot cream. Both are in my Amazon storefront.
I concentrate on the areas that are extra dry. I like putting socks on after moisturizing. I cannot sleep with socks, so I always do my foot care during the day.
