Ever wonder what an esthetician actually keeps on hand for daily use? Not the sponsored products or glossy ads — the real tools and supplements that support skin and hormone health every day. Let’s open up the drawer.
Tools I Can’t Live Without

Chilled Rollers & Gua Sha: Reduce puffiness, stimulate circulation, and feel instantly soothing on sensitive or inflamed skin.
-
Facial Cups: Support lymphatic drainage and blood flow for a natural glow.
Supplements in the Drawer
-
Spirulina & Chlorophyll: Antioxidant powerhouses that support detoxification and help brighten skin from within.
-
Beef Liver Capsules: Rich in bioavailable nutrients like vitamin A, iron, and B12 for skin resilience.
-
Krill Oil: A potent omega-3 source to reduce inflammation and support skin elasticity.
-
Oil of Oregano: Immune and gut ally that helps indirectly calm skin flare-ups.
Why These Matter for Women 40+
During perimenopause and menopause, skin becomes more reactive and less forgiving. These tools and supports work because they:
-
Calm inflammation.
-
Feed the skin with nutrient density.
-
Support hormonal balance naturally.
-
Create rituals that reduce stress (which directly impacts skin).
How I Use Them in Routine
-
Morning: Rollers + chlorophyll drops in water for a fresh start.
-
Midday: Krill oil or beef liver capsule for nutrient support.
-
Evening: Gua sha massage with nourishing oil, followed by spirulina smoothie.
