How to Preserve Your Skin Results
Taking care of my skin has become more than just a routine—it’s a deeply personal ritual that connects me to myself in a way I never expected. Through facial massage, fascia manipulation, and lymphatic drainage, I’ve completely transformed not just my skin, but my overall well-being. Where I once relied on Botox, I now find fulfillment in nurturing my skin naturally, and I no longer feel the need for injections. Whether you choose to get injections or not, taking steps to protect your skin and facial structure is essential to preserving all the hard work you put in.
Here are the key things I do daily to protect + enhance the results of my skincare rituals:
- I USE THE SLEEP & GLOW PILLOW: This ergonomically designed pillow prevents sleep wrinkles, lymphatic stagnation, and toxin buildup while I rest. As someone who dedicates time to facial exercises, lymphatic drainage, and fascia manipulation, I need to ensure my efforts aren’t undone overnight. The Omnia Pillow supports my facial structure, helps me wake up with a refreshed, sculpted appearance, and has become an integral part of my skincare routine. It’s not just comfortable and beautifully designed—it’s one of the greatest inventions in the healthy aging movement!

2. I PRIORITIZE PROTEIN: Protein is essential for building and maintaining facial muscles, which support skin structure and help prevent sagging. Collagen, elastin, and keratin—three key components of healthy skin—are all made up of protein. Ensuring I get enough lean meats, fish, eggs, legumes, or other protein-rich foods everyday helps keep my skin firm, lifted, and resilient over time.
For a major protein and nutrient boost, I love incorporating Kroma Wellness products into my diet. I have a whole bunch of their products available under the "STUFF I LOVE" tab with a special discount, but my top recommendation is their 5 Day Reset

3. I DRINK A LOT OF WATER: Hydration is one of the most shared beauty secrets – but it’s true! Drinking enough water flushes out toxins, supports cellular energy, and keeps skin clear and plump. When the body is dehydrated, the skin can appear dull, fine lines become more pronounced, and toxins aren’t eliminated as efficiently. By staying hydrated, I ensure my skin stays radiant, dewy, and detoxified from within.
To get more hydration and energy out of your water, try adding electrolytes. I love using the Re-Lyte Hydration packs!

4. I REDUCE FACIAL STRESS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE: Our face tells the story of our life—it reflects our emotions, experiences, and the burdens we carry. If we want to change our face, we have to change our emotional state and raise our vibration. One of the simplest and most effective ways I’ve learned to shift my vibration instantly is by maintaining a subtle smile throughout the day. This small action trains my facial muscles to stay lifted while also signaling to my brain that I’m happy!
Beyond facial expressions, emotional well-being plays a major role in how we age. When we shift our consciousness to a state of peace, gratitude, and love, our face softens, tension releases, and our overall appearance reflects a lighter, more radiant energy.

5. I USE LED LIGHT THERAPY: This is a non-negotiable in my daily routine. Particularly, red light therapy supports skin health on a cellular level, penetrating deep into the skin to stimulate collagen production, accelerate wound healing, calm inflammation, and even aid in muscle recovery.
