Beyond The Hype: A Professional's Guide To Skincare That Actually Works

Benchmark Happenings

The quest for healthier, more youthful skin can be overwhelming with contradictory advice and miracle promises flooding social media. Kelli Rogers from Performance Medicine cuts through the noise in this enlightening conversation about what truly works in skincare.
Kelli reveals why your daily skincare routine forms the essential foundation upon which all other treatments build—comparing skincare neglect to only flossing right before a dentist appointment. She expertly breaks down the science behind the two non-negotiable skincare ingredients everyone needs: Vitamin C for morning application and Vitamin A (retinol or tretinoin) for nighttime use. Far from just another anti-aging recommendation, Kelli explains how Vitamin C actively protects skin not just from sun damage but from indoor lighting, computer screens, and environmental heat exposure that most people never consider.
For those intimidated by retinol, Kelli provides a practical, step-by-step approach to introducing this powerhouse ingredient without irritation—starting with lower concentrations used just once or twice weekly before gradually increasing frequency. She dispels common misconceptions about high-SPF sunscreens and explains why physical sunblocks that reflect UV rays offer superior protection compared to chemical formulations that absorb them.
What sets this conversation apart is Kelli's refreshing honesty about skincare marketing hype. "If it's too good to be true in skincare, it is," she warns, encouraging listeners to approach viral TikTok and Instagram products with healthy skepticism. Instead, she details how professional treatments like Ultherapy, Cool Peel CO2 laser, and microneedling work synergistically to address different aspects of aging skin—all with minimal downtime compared to procedures from a decade ago.
Ready to stop wasting money on trendy products that don't deliver? Listen now to discover how to build a skincare routine that actually works, customize it to your lifestyle, and combine it with the right professional treatments for naturally beautiful, healthy skin that truly stands the test of time.
