I can’t lie: I love saying “Now that I’m in my 60s…” no matter what comes after it. While revealing my age was never an issue for me, it’s empowering to lead with it now. Today I’m rounding up a few essentials I have relied upon for years along with brand new finds to pamper my sensitive, extra dry skin and fragile, fine, prone-to-shed hair. I have wanted to help my hair out for some time, and I’ll introduce you to a fabulous system from Bomme. Also, for bird lovers like me, these cards I found will awaken your spirit!
Over-60 Healthy Beauty & Lifestyle
Over-60 Healthy Beauty: SKIN
Here’s a new mood board with gorgeous products currently on my vanity here in Arizona at our snowbird house.
I am sold on the Vanilla Skin deodorant from Phlur (are you reading this, mom? this is the one I think you’ll love). It’s subtle with the most amazing gourmand fragrance. Please, don’t ever stop making this, Phlur! Their body mists are *chef’s kiss* too, and I bought multiples to layer since they work so well together. My favorite combination may be Coconut Skin and Beach Skin. But you can’t go wrong with any of the options. My husband wears their unisex colognes so don’t overlook those. My skin needs extra love here in the Southwest where a lack of humidity means a dewy glass skin look demands effort.
This sun blush (IT Cosmetics) is beyond amazing from the texture to the color to the way it makes my skin actually look like healthy skin to the way it acts like skincare. No idea how they keep getting better at doing that! Can’t live without a magnifying mirror, and a handheld one makes sense for me since it is so light and just the right size. It’s also easier to throw in my bag for travel.
Hair, Skin, Nails
Do you take supplements for hair, nails and skin? Bomme sent me these hair growth supplements to try (see my mood board above), and I can’t go a day without this collagen every morning. I appreciate how gentle both are on my stomach as they strengthen hair, nails, and skin and will keep you posted on results. Now seems like the perfect time to try new things blooming in the market for Spring. Did someone say SPRING:
Ahhhhh. Love those sweet, slightly ’80s colors above that girls to grannies will enjoy. Oak Essentials remains the skincare routine I choose day and night. It’s pure luxe pleasure, and I never tire of the products. Everybody’s holy grail from the collection is their Rich Moisture Balm…the balmiest! Should you want to try the complete skincare routine before investing in the full size, the mini routine is adorable, and allows you to experience the quality and results.
Over-60 Healthy Beauty: HAIR HEALTH
Autoimmune issues and nutrition deficiencies mean I lose too much of the thin hair I have remaining…I hope to give my scalp a little TLC with this new-to-me system.
Here’s how it looked right out of the box as the sun was setting the other night:
There’s shampoo, toner, supplements and an LED Red Light Therapy Device to pop on your head for 15 minutes. I am excited to see how these offerings from Bomme work together since I’d like to see a return to how my hair looked in 2019:
Results for Bomme’s Revitalizing Scalp Toner are impressive: 71.6% reduction in shedding after four weeks. Yes, please!
I love the application system for the toner–these cushiony finger-like projections softly dispense the goodness I then massage gently into scalp.
The Bomme System
The ingredients include Persimmon leaf (antioxidant & anti-inflammatory support), Green Tea (Catechin-rich botanical support), and Sophora Fruit (resilience-focused isoflavones). Bomme is a 2026 C&T Allē Awards Finalist for Ingredient Innovation.
If you’re up for a far-out hair health rejuvenation journey as I am, maybe try their Red Light Therapy. I pop this soft cosmic lit oversized beret on my head for 15 minutes daily. It forces me to find a moment for stillness, and THIS MOMENT IS ALWAYS NEEDED since I can get carried away with all things productive not rest.
Red light therapy (there are also near-infared wavelengths in the device!) for hair is magic. It encourages growth and increases blood flow (good gracious, I need that, doncha know.)
I’m not delusional. I am not counting on a head full of hair like I had in my 40s:
Yet it feels so right to be taking these little, healthy, researched, scalp energizing steps with Bomme toward the healthiest mature hair possible. My gluten-free, low-fat diet features plentiful colorful vegetables and fruit. When you’re after healthier hair and getting intentional with a hair system like Bomme’s, there’s even more incentive to eat clean!
These abs sure aint steel, but my legs and glutes are getting there thanks to distance speed walking. As an early riser, I try to wrap up my workday by noon then head to the track after lunch. Sauna is amazing for detoxing and health, so I often hop in there, shower, then massage a luxurious, all natural oil blend (I make it myself!) into skin all over my body. Since I am protecting my fragile hair, I don’t comb through wet hair…rather, I exit the gym and head into the sunshine glistening like an underweight, over-the-hill Cullen granny.
Ageless Wisdom for Wellness
Ever feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of books, courses, seminars, retreats, and sources for inner wisdom and spiritual growth out there?
While it’s swell to have variety, word of mouth recommendations seem to be disappearing as we become siloed off from each other in the algorithmic tailored realities of our devices. How to wisely discern? I listen to my intuition, and this card deck with wisdom caught my soul’s attention. It can be pre-ordered, and I highly recommend THE WISDOM OF BIRDS!
Whether it’s the patient heron, the hopeful bluebird, or the perceptive owl, birds are potent symbols for transformation, freedom, and spiritual connection.
Each card pairs a stunning bird illustration with an empowering meaning drawn from global myths, folklore, and the natural behavior of the species itself.
Aren’t the colors healing? The guidebook suggests multiple ways to work with the cards, and you’ll make connections with each bird’s message to gain insight for your own life.
Peace to you right where you are.
