Beauty isn’t a 10-step routine - especially for busy, midlife women. In this candid chat, beauty industry powerhouse Bahar Etminan (Ageless Radiance) reframes “longevity” as vitality and shares the simplest path to real-world radiance: know your health dashboard, protect your skin barrier, and stop doing the most. We cover perimenopause and missed symptoms, what actually works in skincare, how to choose clinicians (and when to skip them), and why “less is more” might be the glow-up you’ve been waiting for.

In This Episode We Cover

• Sensitive vs sensitised skin: why over-treating wrecks your barrier—and how to fix it with fewer, smarter steps.
• The Health Dashboard: the midlife game-changer for energy, mood, hormones and skin.
• Perimenopause & menopause: real symptoms, missed cues, and getting support early.
• Skincare that works (for real life): cleanse → serum → moisturiser → SPF; when to add eye cream/oils.
• Actives that matter: Vitamin C (brightening), Vitamin E (barrier/soothing),
  Vitamin A/retinol (renewal), hydrating molecules.
• Home vs clinic: peel pads, masks and massage at home; when a
  professional consult is worth it.
• Choosing experts: word-of-mouth over coupons, loyalty over deal-hopping,
  clinics with options over one-machine-fits-all.
• Injectables & lasers: why they’re medical decisions, not “lunchtime tweaks,” and how to proceed safely.
• Longevity reframe: less “how long you’re pretty,” more strength, clarity,
  libido, vitality.
