At this point in my life, staying youthful is less about doing more and more about doing what actually works. These are the habits and non-negotiables I rely on to support my skin, body, and mindset—and to feel my best at 40.

This isn’t a “do everything” list. It’s a realistic overview of what has worked for me over time.

Completely sober for almost 12 years

Botox for nine years until August 2023, followed by a two-year break, then a small amount again in October 2025

Surgical tweaks thoughtfully done over the course of a decade

Yearly laser treatments on my body (IPL, Fraxel)

Laser treatments on my face—last done in 2023 (Fraxel)

Good, consistent skincare. No matter what lasers, injectables, or surgeries you do, if you’re not taking care of your skin daily, results will only go so far

Professional facial massage and facials whenever I can

Face taping about three nights a week

A silk eye mask (if you know, you know)

A silicone chest wrinkle patch when I sleep

Lots of water, plus salt and electrolytes

Sun protection, while still making room for vitamin D

Good sleep hygiene—prioritizing 7–9 hours a night (Click my link OR use code ARIELLE to receive 20% off your first order at Coop. Coop also offers a 100-Night Better Sleep Guarantee so there’s no risk in trying!)

Walking often and exercising regularly

Eating healthy and cooking as much as possible

Infrared sauna four or more days a week

Red and near-infrared light therapy on my face, neck, and chest three to five days a week

A very busy social life, healthy relationships, and prioritizing fun and connection

Meditation and being mindful of stress

Acupuncture for whole-body balance and hormone support

Aging well isn’t about perfection or doing everything—it’s about understanding your body, supporting it consistently, and choosing habits you can sustain long term. Take what resonates and leave what doesn’t.
