Eps 404: How to Take Care of Your Skin in Your 40s & 50s with Jess Iturzaeta

Ever feel like your skin woke up one day and decided to do its own thing?

There’s a real shift happening in midlife, and for most women, it shows up right on the surface first. Skin starts to feel drier, duller, more reactive… and suddenly you’re stuck trying to decode a world of products, advice, and conflicting information that just makes everything more overwhelming. What actually moves the needle isn’t more steps or more products, it’s understanding what your skin needs now, how it’s changed, and how to support it in a way that’s simple, realistic, and effective.

I’m joined by Jess Iturzaeta, esthetician and founder of Simply Just Skincare, who has over 20 years of experience helping women cut through the noise and focus on what actually works from hydration and exfoliation to non-toxic products, Botox alternatives, and building a routine that fits real life.

If you’ve been feeling confused, overwhelmed, or like your skin has a mind of its own lately, this is the episode that will finally help it make sense. Listen Now!
