On the Personal Side

At 40, the signs of aging appeared swiftly—the crow’s feet, age spots, and creases on my forehead. When hair started thinning, I knew it was time to take action. But toxic chemicals like Botox, fillers, and harsh facial peels were never an option. I sought something different: natural, holistic therapies that could rejuvenate beyond the skin.

As a doctor trained in acupuncture and herbal medicine, I began my own journey toward radiant aging. I discovered that maintaining youthful vitality goes deeper than the skin; it’s about nurturing the body, calming the mind, and cultivating the spirit. After seven years of exploration and self-care, I founded Skinovation to share what I’ve learned and help others feel better, look better, and live healthier.
