Ep 2: Midlife Makeover: The Truth about Botox, Fillers and Skincare with Audi Patmasuta from SkinSpirit

OK everyone, as my favorite podcaster Danny Pelligrino says, pull over if you’re driving.  This episode is one of my absolute favorites because we’re talking about something that seems to be of interest to a lot of middle aged people - how do I look my absolute best?  With such an overwhelming amount of options on every spa menu, I figured more people than just me might want to know the details of every procedure out there. 

 The are SO MANY OPTIONS available on how to fight the aging process - injections, lasers, threading, body contouring, GIVE ME IT ALLLLLL!   Here we go. We also segue into skin care which is a super passion of mine, so buckle your seatbelt.  If you’re a beauty junkie like me, this episode is for you.  

I invited Audi Padmasuta, Aesthetics Nurse Specialist at SkinSpirit in Seattle, to sit down with me and walk me through alllll the options for maximizing our snatched jawlines, eliminating our pigment, tackling our fine lines and ultimately feeling our best.  We mention it all… procedures, facials, and home care. It’s quite literally my favorite topic so prepare for a deep dive.

In our discussion, we chat about how we can present our best self, but we also discuss how skewed our desires are, how we foolishly compare ourselves to filtered social media images , and how we can all do a better job of presenting our real selves to the world in the healthiest way possible. 

A year has passed since this interview and I’m now 46, but this conversation has helped me make my decisions about my body and face in the most informed way possible and I hope it will help you too!
