Fascia is one of the most overlooked conversations in skin aging. We spend so much time thinking about collagen, serums, injectables, and trending tools, but very few people are talking about the structural system underneath the skin that influences how we actually age.
If you are dealing with under-eye puffiness, jaw tension, posture changes, facial asymmetry, or feeling like your face looks more tired than it should, this episode explores a deeper layer of the conversation. We dive into fascia, fluid movement, breathing patterns, and why your neck and jaw may be playing a much bigger role in your appearance than you realize.
In this conversation, we break down what fascia really is in simple terms and how it connects to collagen production, lymphatic drainage, nervous system regulation, and facial structure over time.
