As part of my year-long Road to 70 mini-series, I’m inviting one top expert each month to help guide me—and all of us—as we prepare to enter our next decade feeling informed, confident, and strong. 

In this episode, we focus on skin—not just how it looks, but how healthy it truly is. 

I’m joined by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Doris Day, a trusted voice many of you already know from her previous appearances on Age Better. I asked her to get very clear and very practical: What are the absolute skin-care non-negotiables in your 60s? And what’s actually worth considering—and what’s not—when it comes to non-surgical options as we head toward 70? 

I also shared my own skin concerns, including crow’s feet, slight jowl drooping, and redness on my face, including a lingering red spot from a past biopsy. Plus, we brought listener questions directly into the conversation. 

This is a no-hype, science-backed discussion designed to help you make smart decisions for healthier, better-looking skin—now and in the years ahead.  

WHAT WE COVER 

• The absolute non-negotiables for healthy skin in your 60s 
• Sunscreen: what really matters and how to use it correctly 
• Retinoids: when to start, how to use them safely, and who should avoid them 
• Red light therapy masks—do they actually work? 
• How to properly layer skincare products 
• Redness and post-biopsy scarring: what can help 
• Crow’s feet, skin laxity, and early jowling—realistic expectations 
• Botox, lasers, and energy-based devices: who they’re for and who should skip them 
• How to avoid overdoing treatments and compromising skin health 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Consistency beats complexity when it comes to skin care 
• Healthy skin and better-looking skin go hand in hand 
• Not every trending treatment is right—or necessary—at this stage of life 
• Strategic, informed choices matter more than doing “everything”
