Your Skincare Didn’t Stop Working. Your Skin Changed. | Dr. Jessica Weiser

At a certain point in midlife, many women start noticing something frustrating: the skincare routine that used to work suddenly… doesn’t.You buy better products. Add more steps. Spend more money. Maybe even consider lasers or injectables. And yet your skin still feels duller, thinner, drier, more reactive, or somehow just not like you anymore.So what’s actually happening?In this episode of The Iconic Midlife, Roxy sits down with renowned board-certified dermatologist Dr. Jessica Weiser for a smart, nuanced conversation about what really happens to skin during perimenopause and menopause — and why pushing your skin harder may actually be the wrong approach.They discuss:Why skincare routines plateau in midlifeThe hormonal shifts affecting collagen, hydration, elasticity, and recoveryWhy “more aggressive” skincare can backfireThe overlooked middle ground between topical products and cosmetic proceduresWhy many women feel disconnected from their reflection during this stageThe emotional side of skin changes and identityHow practitioners are rethinking skin renewal and resilienceThe difference between “pushing” the skin and supporting its natural renewal processWhat Dr. Weiser would simplify immediately in most midlife routinesThe biggest myths women still believe about aging skinIf what we talked about resonates with you — the idea that your skin still has the ability to renew, it just needs the right support — DefenAge has put together a breakdown of exactly how this works and what makes their approach different.✨ Visit: defenage.com/renewal✨ Use code ROXY29 to get the DefenAge Fly Kit for just $29 (normally $98)-a special starter set designed to support midlife skin renewal.Follow Dr. Jessica WeiserInstagram: @weiserskinmdFollow DefenAgeInstagram: @defenageskincareJoin the Inner Circle: https://the-iconic-midlife-with-roxy-manning.kit.com/3433416614Want bold guests, unfiltered stories, and iconic midlife insight in your inbox?Listen & FollowThe Iconic Midlife is where smart, stylish women over 40 come to rebrand midlife on their terms.New episodes every Tuesday.
