DAY 12 of 50 DAYS TO NEW SKIN… and I’m starting to see the changes.

We’re officially 12 days into my DMK StemZyme journey, and this is the part I’ve been waiting for, actually watching my skin begin to change.

The first few days were all about following the protocol, being gentle with my skin and trusting the process. Now I’m starting to notice the little things.

How soft my skin feels.
The texture.
The tone.
The glow.
And the overall health of my skin.

Is it perfect? Nope. And we still have a LONG way to go. But I’m already starting to see skin results, and that’s exactly why I wanted to document all 50 days.

I want you to see the skin progress in real time, not just a polished before-and-after at the end.

And doing this at 50 makes it even more interesting to me. Mature skin doesn’t need to look younger to be beautiful. I want healthy, strong, glowing skin that looks and feels its best at the age I am NOW.

Because great skincare isn’t about an age - skincare is for all of us.

Day 12 ✔️ Only 38 days to go.

Let’s see what my skin does next…
Who is ready to start their StemZyme Treatment?

72 HOURS AFTER STEMZYME… I made it!

The first 72 hours of my 50 Days to New Skin journey are officially complete!

For the past three days, I’ve been following the StemZyme protocol every 8 hours: keeping my skincare routine simple, consistent and VERY gentle.

And I have to say… this was so much easier than I thought it was going to be.

My skin has definitely gone through some changes already. I’ve had redness, sensitivity, a little dryness and moments where I wondered, what is my skin doing?!

But that’s exactly why I wanted to document this.

I don’t want to just show you the pretty before and after. I want you to see the actual skin progress along the way - especially what this process looks like on 50-year-old skin.

Now that the first 72 hours are behind me, I’m excited to see what happens next as my skin continues through this process.

This is only the beginning of my 50 Days to New Skin.

At 50, I’m not chasing younger skin. I’m chasing healthy, strong, glowing skin that feels good to live in.

72 hours down… bring on the next phase!

Follow along for the real skin transformation, skin education, facial tips, skincare tips and every stage between now and Day 50.

SKIN PROGRESS: This is where it starts getting interesting…

Another check-in on my 50 Days to New Skin with DMK StemZyme.

One of the reasons I wanted to document this entire journey is because real skin transformation doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a process, and I want you to see all of it.

Not just the final glow.

The sensitivity. The changes in texture. The days my skin looks amazing and the days when it’s still very clearly working through the process. This is skin progress in real time.

StemZyme is all about working with the skin and supporting its natural renewal process, and I’m paying attention to all those little changes along the way.

At 50 and fabulous, my goal isn’t perfect skin. I want healthy skin that looks vibrant, strong and like the best version of MY skin.

And I have to say… I’m getting very excited to see where we end up.

50 Days to New Skin continues…

Follow along because I’m sharing the entire journey: skin education, facial tips, skincare tips, my skincare routine and the real before, during AND after.

**24 HOURS IN… and here’s what my skin is doing **

We are officially through the first 24 hours of my 50 Days to New Skin with DMK StemZyme.

And yes… I’m a little red. A little rashy-looking. My skin definitely feels sensitive. And at moments it looks like I’m being WAY too aggressive with it. 

But I’m following the StemZyme protocol exactly as instructed.

For these first 72 hours, it’s all about keeping things simple, being consistent, and letting the process do what it’s designed to do.

What surprised me most? The routine has been so much easier than I thought it would be.

I’m documenting this entire 50-day skin transformation because I want you to see the REAL process - not just a pretty before-and-after photo at the end.

The redness. The sensitivity. The awkward stages. The skin progress. And hopefully… some really beautiful changes along the way. 

At 50 and fabulous, I’m not trying to look 30. I want healthy skin that looks and feels its best at 50. 

24 hours down. Let’s see what happens next.

Follow along for skin education, facial tips, skincare tips, and my completely unfiltered 50 Days to New Skin journey.

I’m 50. I don’t want to look 30. I want my skin to look REALLY good at 50.

There’s a difference.

For me, healthy skin and healthy aging aren’t about trying to erase every line or chasing younger skin. It’s about supporting the skin I have, helping it function at its best, supporting collagen, and seeing what it’s capable of when I give it what it needs.

That’s exactly why I decided to do StemZyme.
And because I spend my days as an esthetician talking about Skin Education, facial treatments and healthy aging with my clients, I thought…why not put my own skin to the test?

So I’m documenting the whole thing.
The treatments.
The changes.
The weird stages.
The before and after.
The good skin days.
ALL of it.
No filters. No hiding.
50 days. One Skin Transformation.
And we’re just getting started.

50 days. One skin transformation. And I’m taking you along for ALL of it.
I turned 50 this year, and instead of chasing “younger” skin, I’m much more interested in what happens when we support the skin to function at its best.

So here we go… my first StemZyme Treatment and officially the beginning of my 50 Days to New Skin.

As an esthetician, I’m always educating my clients about skin health, collagen, healthy aging and why real change takes time. Now I get to be the client, and document the process on my own 50-year-old skin.

I’ll be sharing the good, the weird 😂, the changes I notice along the way, and of course…the final Skin Transformation.

Day 1. Let’s see what this skin can do.

**Okay… it’s officially getting real. **

The DMK StemZyme has arrived, so obviously we need to unbox it together!

If you missed my first video, I’m putting my **50-year-old skin through a 50-day skin transformation** and documenting the entire thing.

The goal isn’t to look 25 again. I’m **50 and fabulous** and very happy to be here. What I *am* interested in is supporting healthy aging and seeing what happens with my skin’s texture, firmness, pigmentation, overall appearance and collagen over the next 50 days.

And because I’m an esthetician, you know I won’t be able to just show you the before and after. I’ll be sharing plenty of **skin education** along the way and explaining what I’m doing, what’s happening to my skin and what I’m actually seeing.

For now… **let’s see what’s inside the box.** 

Next up: **my first StemZyme treatment.** 

Follow along for **50 Days to New Skin** because I have a feeling this is going to get interesting…

I’m 50, my skin is 50… so what can I realistically change in 50 days? 👀

Welcome to 50 Days to New Skin  - my personal DMK StemZyme skin transformation.

I’ve spent over 20 years as an esthetician working on other people’s skin, and now I’m turning the camera on mine. 😬😂

Over the next 50 days, I’m going to document EVERYTHING: the treatment, the peeling, the good days, the questionable days 😂, and ultimately the results.

Why am I doing it?

At 50, I’m not trying to make my skin look 25. I want healthy, strong, beautiful skin that ages WELL. I’m especially interested in what I see with texture, pigmentation, firmness, overall skin health and the appearance of collagen-rich, healthy skin.

And because I’m doing this as both an esthetician AND the guinea pig, I’ll be sharing plenty of skin education along the way - what’s happening, what I’m noticing, and whether I think it’s worth it.

No filters. No hiding the ugly days. Just my 50-year-old skin and a 50-day experiment.

Day 1 starts now. ✨

Follow along because we’re going to find out together…

Can DMK StemZyme really transform my skin in 50 days?
