My Last Episode for Now. Here's Where We Go Next.
After nearly 300 episodes, this is the one I never planned to record.
Spa Skin and Beauty is going on a permanent pause. Not a never. A pause. I may pop ...back on for a seasonal appearance or to announce something big, but for right now, this is goodbye.
In this final episode, I'm sharing the moment on a church playground that made the decision for me. I'm 49, I have a toddler, and I realized I don't want to miss this season with him. I still see clients every Tuesday and Friday as a licensed esthetician and thermographer, so something had to give. It was never going to be my family or my clients.
In this episode:
Why I'm pausing the podcast and what "permanent pause" really means
The playground moment that changed everything
Where you can still find me every single week
A thank you to my listeners and guests over the years

LindseyShow More The Tiny Pump in Your Face Nobody Told You About | Menopause Skin + Botox Drainage
Your face has no heart pumping fluid through it. The muscles around ...
Your face has no heart pumping fluid through it. The muscles around your eyes do part of that job, squeezing fluid out every time you blink. And that muscle is ...the exact same one relaxed for crow's feet. Quiet the muscle, and in some faces you quiet the drainage too. That's where the puffiness, the under-eye bags, and the tired look come from after Botox.
Master Esthetician and Menopause Skin Specialist Lindsey Holder explains what Botox actually is, why some women get puffier after an appointment, and how to soften expression lines without a needle.
If you're deciding whether to start Botox, or quietly wondering if you can stop, this will change how you look in the mirror tomorrow morning.
The full written article is in this week's Skin Scholar Society on Substack.

You made peace with saying no to filler. But peace with a no is not the same as knowing your yes.
In this episode, I'm sharing why some of the most ...advanced facial surgeons in the country stopped reaching for filler more than a decade ago, and what they choose instead. Hint: your body has been making it your entire life.
We cover why filler disappoints on a menopause face (the problem was never the dose, it was the material), what fat transfer actually involves, and how to support the living fat and collagen your face still has right now, without anesthesia, downtime, or a five-figure bill.
If your mid-face has been sliding and you've been stuck between gadgets that feel like not enough and surgery that feels like too much, this episode is for you. There is a whole spectrum living in that gap, and it runs on one principle filler never had.
The full protocol, including what I personally use for volume loss, the clinical study behind it, and the barrier-first sequencing for your stage of menopause, is inside Skin Scholar Society on Substack this week:
I'm Lindsey Holder, Menopause Skin Specialist and Master Esthetician. I help women in menopause recalibrate their skincare to restore firmness, clarity, and structure without Botox or fillers. Because your skin didn't fail you. Your hormones shifted, and your strategy needs to shift with it.

Our face has a drainage system, and your mirror can't show it to you.
If you've been getting filler and you keep looking heavier instead of younger, there's a reason for ...it. It's a loop. Filler goes in, your body responds to the foreign material, fluid gathers, drainage slows. Then the puffiness that follows gets read as lost volume. So more filler goes in. And the cycle keeps building on itself.
In this episode I walk you through what's actually happening under the skin. Two fluid systems, one with a pump and one without. Why hyaluronic acid holds water in tissue that had no room to spare, especially under the eyes. And why the fix so many women keep getting handed may be feeding the exact thing they walked in about.
This is not filler fear content. Filler placed by a skilled, board-certified injector is considered safe, and the serious complications are rare. But rare is not zero, and you deserve the full picture before you book.
That full picture lives on my Substack, the Skin Scholar Society. The documented risks, all of them named and sourced. What menopause does to your tissue that changes the whole equation. And what really happens after the syringe, when a woman tries to dissolve what she put in and finds out it doesn't come back out the way it went in. That's where I go all the way in.
Come learn what's actually happening under your skin.

I help women in menopause recalibrate their skincare to restore firmness, clarity, and glow, without Botox or fillers. This is structural recalibration. Working with your biology, not against it.

You get dressed in the morning and your whole body feels thick and heavy, rings tight, everything a little full. That's fluid, not weight you gained overnight, and you can ...move most of it before you walk out the door. In this episode I explain why your whole body pools fluid overnight and when you sit, why your calves do more than any gadget, the honest truth about dry brushing and rebounding, and how moving this fluid supports your skin over time.
What you'll learn:
Why morning puffiness is a whole-body thing, not just your face
What actually moves the fluid (and what doesn't)
A simple whole-body morning reset before work or going out
A preview of the Big 6 routine

That softer jaw and heavier under-eye you meet in the mirror most mornings usually isn't new fat, and it isn't only sagging. A lot of it is fluid that pooled ...overnight in a system that only really moves when you do.
In this episode I break down why your face puffs while you sleep, what menopause has to do with it, and the honest truth about what facial massage can and can't do. Then I give you the one move most people get backwards, so the rest of your routine finally works.
The full step-by-step routine, plus a diagram of the actual moves you can print and keep by the mirror, is in this week's article inside my Substack, the Skin Scholar Society.

In this video, menopause skin specialist and Master Esthetician Lindsey Holder breaks down ...4 specific lab markers that directly control what your skin does in menopause (estrogen, free T3, cortisol, and ferritin) and what each one means for the dryness, dullness, fine lines, and dark circles you are already seeing.

She said: "You're my last shot before I do fillers."
She's 62. Hollow under eyes. She has spent thousands on skincare, tried everything, and is done being patient.

In this episode I sat down with Ivan Galanin, founder of Adipeau, to talk about what Adipeau is actually doing inside the skin, the science behind it, how to apply it, what to layer with it and what to avoid, and why so much of what the skincare industry calls clinical proof is not what it appears to be.
This is not a sponsored product review. It's a real conversation with a founder who has been treating only one side of his face for seven years and can show you the difference.
What we cover:
What Adipeau is and how it was discovered accidentally The two products: Strength Gel vs Volume Cream and when you need each How dermal fat cells drive skin strength, volume, and inflammation Why inflammation from bloated fat cells is blocking every product you're already using Adipeau vs estrogen cream: different mechanisms, not interchangeable The retinol debate and the 80 percent melanin reduction most people don't know about How to read a clinical study and the one question that exposes most brand research Upcoming studies on post-GLP-1 skin, breast laxity, crepey legs, and non-responders How to layer Adipeau with your current routine

If products you've used for years are suddenly stinging, your skin is flushing more easily, or you're dealing with redness that wasn't there before — this video explains exactly what's ...happening and why.
Menopause Skin Specialist and Master Esthetician Lindsey Holder breaks down the biology behind reactive skin during perimenopause and menopause: the barrier breakdown, the estrogen connection, and why what looks like rosacea in midlife is often something different entirely.
What's covered:
Why estrogen decline slows ceramide production and compromises skin structure
How loosening tight junctions cause products to penetrate deeper and sting
The vasomotor instability behind facial flushing and redness in menopause
Why rosacea-like symptoms appear in women who never had sensitive skin
What barrier stabilization looks like — and why it comes before everything else
This is the structural explanation most women in menopause never get. No trends, no product lists. Just the biology, clearly explained.
