Electrical current changed my life long before I ever used it on my face.

I live with a severe chronic migraine disorder. Cefaly — an external trigeminal nerve stimulation device worn across the forehead — has become one of the most consequential tools in my daily migraine management.

It didn’t cure me. But it helped me calm the trigeminal system, reduce the intensity of my pain and scale back my reliance on medication. No exaggeration: electrical neuromodulation helped give me my life back.

Cefaly isn’t a cosmetic microcurrent device. But it belongs to the much larger and genuinely fascinating world of bioelectric medicine — the use of carefully calibrated electrical energy to interact with the body’s own signaling systems.

That’s why my conversation with Bio-Therapeutic inventor David Suzuki became so personal.

50+ sunscreens. Six months of testing. These six deserve WAY more love. ☀️🇰🇷

I’m particular about sunscreen. The UV filters matter, but so does how a formula feels when I apply it generously — and then apply another layer.

These are six discoveries I genuinely love reaching for:

🧅 ISNTREE ONION FRESH FLUID SUN CREAM
My #1. A silky, disappearing fluid that layers beautifully, with five complementary UV filters. The ♾️/10 rating is deeply unserious. My love is not.

💛 ANUA ZERO-CAST MOISTURIZING FINISH
Lightweight moisture and an invisible finish on my skin, with both Mexoryl SX and XL in its five-filter lineup.

💙 ISNTREE HYALURONIC ACID FRESH SUN SERUM
Fresh hydration in a weightless light lotion. Same five UV filters as Anua, with its own lovely skin feel.

🚴 IASO SUN SHIELD WATERPROOF
My water-resistant cycling staple. A velvety cream with cushioned comfort that feels especially good on cooler mornings.

💛 DR.REJU-ALL ADVANCED PDRN CALMING SUN SERUM
An exceptionally elegant light lotion with PDRN, soothing skincare extras and the same five UV filters as my beloved Onion.

🤎 SKIN1004 PROBIO-CICA GLOW SUN AMPOULE
Juicy, milky and beautifully comfortable. Four complementary UV filters, a lovely glow and no particulate Tinosorb M.

All six are SPF50+ PA++++. My wildly inconsistent scores are for fun; the testing and preferences behind them are real. 😹

Save this for your next sunscreen restock — and tell me which ones you’ve tried!

What if visible aging is partly a maintenance problem — and the body is gradually losing the energy required to keep up?

Bio-Therapeutic CEO David Suzuki compares the body to a house. When we’re younger, he explains, abundant cellular energy helps us repair and regenerate with remarkable efficiency. But as ATP production declines with age, the body may have fewer resources available to keep pace — allowing damage to accumulate until we begin to see it reflected in the mirror.

It’s the foundation of what David calls his Energetic Theory of Aging: the idea that aging isn’t only about losing collagen, elastin or firmness. It may also begin further upstream, with the cellular energy required to maintain them.

Can microcurrent actually lift the face — and if the current is so low you shouldn’t feel it, what produces the immediate change?

According to Bio-Therapeutic CEO and inventor David Suzuki, visible twitching isn’t true microcurrent. It’s more characteristic of electrical muscle stimulation.

True microcurrent, he explains, operates below the sensory threshold. With the bt-sculpt GEN2, the immediate sculpting effect begins with kinesiology: physically shortening and repositioning targeted facial muscles while low-level current is intended to support cellular energy.

It’s an important distinction — because electricity, muscle stimulation and microcurrent aren’t interchangeable. And more sensation doesn’t necessarily mean a device is doing more.

Most serums specialize. This one multitasks.

Alpyn Beauty’s 3-in-1 Barrier Repair Serum was created to take on three persistent concerns at once: discoloration, visible redness and loss of firmness.

But the most interesting part isn’t simply that the serum does more. It’s how.

The formula pairs azelaic acid to help improve the appearance of uneven tone and redness with SNAP-8 peptide to soften the look of expression lines. Centella asiatica and Alpyn’s wildcrafted ghostberry help soothe stressed skin and support the barrier.

The botanicals aren’t being asked to stand in for clinical actives—they help create a calmer, better-supported environment in which those actives can perform. It’s Alpyn’s wild-meets-clinical philosophy captured in one very elegant pink bottle.

Founder Kendra Kolb Butler explains the thinking behind a hardworking formula designed for skin that may already be working far too hard.

One exceptional serum. Three serious jobs! 💗

The biggest conversations often come down to the smallest things.

After exploring wildcrafted skincare, barrier health and whether our obsession with stronger actives has pushed the skin too far, I asked Alpyn Beauty founder Kendra Kolb Butler one of my favorite lightning-round questions:

⚡️What’s one small thing that’s bringing you joy right now?

I love this question because the answers are rarely about achievements, launches or whatever comes next. They’re about the everyday rituals, people and moments that make life feel a little richer.

In an industry constantly chasing the new, the novel and the next big thing, it’s a lovely reminder that joy is often much closer—and much simpler—than we imagine.
