Super-Powered Midlife Skincare from Beauty Industry Veteran Celeste Lee of Caire Beauty May 02, 2022

Show notes

Are you a skincare junkie? Meet beauty industry pro, Celeste Lee of Caire Beauty, who hit midlife and said enough is enough—too many of the big-brand skincare products on the market are designed to make women feel like crap about their skin, instead of truly addressing the challenges of maturing skin. Celeste co-founded Caire Beauty, after decades in the beauty industry, to address the needs of menopausal skin where it really counts, on the dermal level. We cover how to care for “grown-up” skin, potent ingredients that treat dry skin and fine wrinkles, the power of Gua Sha, and the special challenges of treating irksome adult acne. Bonus! Listen to the end when Celeste shares a special offer for A Certain Age listeners you won't want to miss!

We cover ideas for finding light in darkness, how to reframe misfortune, and why we need to break free of the “age cage.”
