227: Hormones, Facelifts & Skincare Truths: Dr. Mina Breaks It All Down

If you're in your  40s, 50s, or beyond and starting to notice changes in your skin—like loss of firmness, fine lines, or that youthful glow starting to fade—you are not alone. And today's guest is here to help you navigate it all with clarity and confidence. I'm joined by Dr. Mary Alice Mina, a Harvard-trained, double board-certified dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon with over 15 years of experience helping women age gracefully—with both in-office procedures and daily skincare strategies that actually work. In this episode, we're asking: What are the biggest skincare myths mature women still believe—and what should we be doing instead? When should you really start thinking about a facelift or cosmetic procedures? What are the most common mistakes Dr. Mina sees women making in their 40s and beyond? And how can we keep our collagen and skin plumpness without going overboard? Plus, Dr. Mina shares her personal skincare routine, go-to beauty devices, and the reason she decided to start a podcast of her own—despite her incredibly busy schedule. Whether you're a skincare minimalist or love trying all the latest treatments, this episode is packed with practical, age-smart advice you won't want to miss. Let's dive in!
