I'm 64. These Are the 5 Things I Do Every Day to Take Care of My Skin

Nothing extreme. No complicated routines. Just five simple habits I've learned to stick with since my 50s.

People compliment my arms, my neck and my hands more now than they did when I was 50. I wear sleeveless again. The funny thing is, I actually do less than I used to.

After years of firming creams, collagen powders, dry brushing and every body lotion at the drugstore, I've simplified everything down to five habits.

The first four are pretty boring. #5 is the one my friends always ask me about.

1. I move every day

I don't spend hours at the gym. I walk every morning, do a few minutes with light weights for my arms, and try not to spend the whole day sitting.

My rule is simple: do something every day.

2. I keep my food simple

Protein, vegetables, fruit and good fats: olive oil, nuts, salmon. Nothing complicated, and I still eat the things I enjoy.

I care more about what I do consistently than being perfect.

3. I protect my sleep

I used to treat sleep like the least important part of my day. Now I try to get 7 to 8 hours and keep a consistent bedtime.

It's probably the most boring thing on this list. It's also the one I rarely break.

4. I stopped buying every new firming cream

I used to have a drawer full of body lotions, firming creams and collagen serums. Every few months, I'd find a new jar and start over.

Then I flipped one over and read the first ingredient. It was water. On almost every one of them, it was water.

Body lotions are 70 to 80% water, and your skin is built to keep water out. So they sit on the surface, feel nice for an hour, and evaporate. Twenty products, all refilling the wrong tank.

So I cleared the drawer. And that's how I found #5.

5. Every night after my shower, I use one French-inspired body oil

This is the one people always want to know about.

Most women are never told this. Crepey, papery skin after 50 isn't really dryness. And it isn't just aging.

When your estrogen drops in menopause, your skin doesn't only lose collagen. It stops producing its own oils. Not a lack of water. A lack of oil.

That's why every lotion in my drawer failed. They sit on top. My skin needed oil.

What's in the bottle

Six cold-pressed oils, each with its own job:

And no water anywhere on the label.

Because oil is what your skin's barrier is made of, it isn't repelled. It melts straight through and replaces what was actually missing.

Two pumps after my shower: arms, chest, neck, the backs of my hands. That's the entire routine.

That's Evora Botanical Body Oil, and it replaced the twenty half-empty lotions in my drawer.

I don't expect any oil to make me 30 again. I just want my arms, my neck and my hands to look like mine again.

And that's exactly why Evora has become the fifth habit I stick with every night.

My Arms, Week by Week

Not an overnight transformation. Just one simple routine, every night, with photos along the way.

Day 1It sinks in within a minute, no film. Nothing you could see yet.

Week 1I ran my hand down my forearm and stopped. The papery feeling was quieter. Softer under my fingers.

Week 2My skin feels soft throughout the day.

Week 3My sleeves stopped catching on my upper arms.

Week 4It feels like there's something underneath the skin again.

Week 6The crepey texture above my elbows has visibly softened. My sister asked what I'm doing to my arms before I said a word.
