I work a lot. Yesterday I took the day to reflect on it. It’s been a lot of up and downs to get here, and no one will see them but my husband and parents. Just know you have to be the duck. Calm on the surface but paddling like hell under water. taken in Ocean Skin and Vein Institute by @drdivyashokeen

It’s not a balance, it’s willing yourself to be in a room people told you is not possible.

I grew up in a very small village in India. I moved here when I was 8 and I did not fit in. As many people before me have said, thank god for that.

I forced open doors people literally refused to let me through. I want my children to know I got them. I will force open the doors with them just like my parents did for me. I will be the rock and I will push them wherever they want to go. It’s not easy, but who said anything worth having is easy.

I am blessed every day to be tired and I am so grateful that I get to do my dream job. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder they say, well I get to behold it everyday 🤏 taken in Ocean Skin and Vein Institute by @drdivyashokeen

It’s officially laser season, and we are here to burn the summers damage right off. This is an @ultraclearlaser done by @dr.nicolesalame because a well don’t procedure is a game changer. Post recovery, I used @oathology Cu peptide moisturizer and the @aveneusa 💕#laser taken in Ocean Skin and Vein Institute by @drdivyashokeen

Workout essentials that I think make your gym session that much better:

• Resistance training. A 2023 study found strength training increased skin thickness and elasticity in women. Lifting = collagen support.
• Hypochlorous spray. Gentle and antimicrobial, great for acne- and rosacea-prone skin post-sweat.
• @headandshoulders or nizarol or @selsunblueus as hair AND body wash. It helps prevent sweat-triggered fungal rashes. Let it sit 2–3 minutes.
• Ditch the sweaty clothes ASAP. Damp fabric = body acne.

I didn’t realize the last one needed to be said, but in case there was any question … #dermatologist taken in Ocean Skin and Vein Institute by @drdivyashokeen

Aging doesn’t happen in a straight line. It happens in waves.

A Stanford study found our bodies go through two big shifts in molecular aging, around 44 and again around 60. In my practice, I see the skin version of this every day. Patients often say it felt like they “aged overnight.” In a way, they did.

My advice: get ahead of the wave instead of chasing it.

Small, strategic steps now can change how you age later:
→ Neurotoxin to soften movement lines before they set in
→ monopolar RF or ultherapy to support lift in the brow, jawline, and neck
→ Fractional resurfacing to keep texture and tone in check
→ Sculptra or Radiesse to stimulate your own collagen and maintain structure

None of this stops time. But it can mean needing less, later, with more natural results when you do decide to do more.

Prevention is the least dramatic part of aesthetics. It’s also where I see the best long-term results.

As a derm, these are the absolute essentials for shaving:

1. Always use a single blade
2. Go with the grain
3. Use conditioner if you don’t have shaving
cream
4. Sal acid or lactic acid post to minimize breakouts.
