I actually hollared WOW out loud in an empty room when I heard about to turn 40. You look at least 5-10 years younger. Sometimes people look younger but you can still kinda sense their age but I was shocked. Beautiful skin and kind spirit. Love your channel and I will be doing whatever your doing to my face! 🤩

[@katgreer6113]

theres no way...she looks 32 at most.

[@lakeleaf9]

I feel like if I only saw a pic of her, without hearing her wiseness that reveals an older age (because medical school takes a long time), I'd legit believe she's in her early 20's

[@not-even-german4892]

We are melaninated🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@serenawill128]

Anyone else not seeing that lol. Maybe its because I'm used to seeing so many beautiful brown skinned women. But she looks like a black 40. There's black 40 and white 40 imo 😂. Black 40 is much younger looking than white 40. But she looks black 40 and gorgeous to me.

Melanine + self care

[@FateOfTheElephant]

@@not-even-german4892 - Just self-care, I've seen a lot of melanated people that look way older than their chronological age.

[@bleachedout805]

@@FateOfTheElephant Yeah but they still look younger than most pale skinned people as they tend to have firmer skin. But it is likely lifestyle. Most of the very pale people I know who look old tend to be alcoholics and smokers but it's also just that the sun is more damaging for paler people so it is down to genetics and environmental factors. But you are right melanin doesn't keep someone youthful. It's elastin.

[@Yall-are-mad-dumb-vl7zs]

@@FateOfTheElephantits prolly the crack and the average age for noticeable aging is different for most races because of skin tone and its sun protection depending on the tone

This was super helpful. I turned 38 last month & I think thus far I've done great with taking care of my skin. I had a NASTY adult acne flare up a few days after turning 30. I had NEVER been one to have acne, just a pimple here & there so it freaked me out. But it caused me to research, learn & implement. I have been using your channel as a resource for years. So thank you for taking the time to continue educating us. Also, you look stunning & not 40 @ all 🤌🏾💕😍📍

Not trying to be harsh, but it's a little odd for you to think a board-certified physician with a healthy practice can be 27. You have to go to undergrad which is four years, medical school which is four years, and residency for another three years.

@@nadzideaz9341 we do know the duration of her training because it's law. To be a physician in the United States, you have to do all the things I named. No different than law school where you need four years of undergrad and two years of law.

[@trentrogerss]

Hi Dr Alexis! You suggest doing your skincare routine not too close to bedtime so your facial products don’t sink into your pillow. In a similar way, when you use body products, like AHA’s and tretinoin on your body, should you wait before getting clothed, dressed and hopping into bed. I’m afraid that getting dressed too soon after I apply my products will result in them absorbing into my clothes instead of my skin.
