At 48, my skin has completely shifted from the extremely oily, acne-prone teen years to something that now needs intention and strategy. In this video, I’m sharing what’s actually working for my perimenopausal combination skin — from internal support like collagen, hydration, and daily walking to my simple morning and nighttime routines. I talk about hormone changes, dryness and oil at the same time, texture shifts, and why aging didn’t ruin my skin — it just changed it. If you’re navigating midlife skin as a Black woman or dealing with hormonal changes after 40, this is my honest, real-life routine and what’s making the biggest difference right now.
