So because a wrinkle, and I think you're going to like this, Vonda, a wrinkle is showing decrease in hydration, but it's also showing you on the surface a decrease in collagen one and three.

That is a sign of collagen decline that is as accessible to our eyes in the mirror as that is actually paralleling decline in collagen one and three in our bone health.

there? Right? Which we can't see until someone orders a DEXA scan or if you have a non-traumatic fracture and And all of a sudden your bone density is literally screaming at you.

I take them as messages that are communicating with us what's happening in our bodies, not to be read as flaws or failures or cosmetic defects, but as a signal.

That we need to pay attention to our hormones and what else could be going on in our bodies that we can't see that we need to pay attention to.
So my sentinel wrinkle should have been the first sign that I need to pay attention to my bone.
Because for me, I noticed it at 47, which was the blast onset of my perimenopause, which we know is when we'll start to lose weight.
So you know what, traditionally, and I may not have been doing this right my whole life, but we learn about good cleansing.
We learn about a real moisturizer, not just something somebody's put in a tube.
And We hear about the research for triretinoin, which I've never been able to use because no matter how diluted it is, it peels my face off in like five minutes.
As I think about this, routines, and I opened our show here today with this, our routines need to change.
