Listen, I got my first gray hair when I was in law school at the age of 28. Suffice it to say, I was sufficiently freaked out and called my mom, aunts, and grandmas to see if it was genetic. The answer was a resounding no! ?????????? ????????, ??’???? ???????? ?????????????????? ???????? ?????????????? ?????? ???????? ???????????????????? ?????? ???? ?????? ???? ?????? ???????? ????????????!

(1) It’s time to start using some anti-aging face products ?????? - not when you are in your early 30s.
(2) In your 30s, ????’?? ???? ???? ?????? ?????????? ?????? ????????????! But don’t do it just because everyone else is. Do it because you’ve done your due diligence and you feel it is the best decision for you! ?????? ??????: always get a reference from a friend! Do not book just based on TikTok! ( I haven't done this yet, but I am 100% considering!)
(3) Big law is a lot of long hours, never enough sleep, and a ball of daily anxiety. ?????????? ???? ???????????????? ?????? ???????????? ???? ?? ???????? ?????????? ?????? ?????????? ??????! Team #noundereyebags

It’s time to go beyond a basic cleanser and moisturizer and it is expensive - but totally worth it! I am a TATCHA girly myself and washing my face feels like a ritual now and I love it! I spend about $400 every quarter and the way my skin feels so deeply moisturized and nourished makes it worth every penny!
(5) Bring the product all the way down to the front and back part of your neck - ?????????? ????.

(7) ???? ???????????? ?????? ?????????? ?????? ??????, do your full face routine every morning and every night. It’s a slog but the goal is to get to a point where you don't even feel right to go to bed without doing it!
