My dear friend Sierra once said, "Sixty is a powerful number." And she’s right. Sixty is often overlooked as a golden age for both women and their skin, but it’s a time of incredible strength and wisdom. So when I thought about who could tell the story of sixty, I thought of her.

Sierra, a dynamic force and advocate for women’s empowerment, lives by this philosophy. She embraces her sixties as a celebration of her goddess energy—a time to be unapologetically herself. Her vibrant energy and holistic lifestyle are a reminder that beauty comes from within, radiating outward.

How skin changes in your sixties

In your sixties, the skin undergoes visible changes, largely influenced by postmenopausal hormonal shifts (more on this next week), years of environmental exposure, and the natural aging process. 

Common skin concerns and their causes include:

• Deeper wrinkles and sagging: A decrease in collagen and elastin results in more pronounced lines and looser skin.

• Chronic dryness: The skin’s ability to retain moisture decreases as natural oil production slows with the decrease in estrogen.

• Loss of volume: The cheeks and areas around the eyes may appear hollow due to reduced fat and collagen as estrogen levels drop.

• Uneven skin tone and sunspots: Years of sun exposure can leave discoloration and spots become more prominent as skin thins.

• Slowed healing: The skin’s repair process slows down as you age, making it more prone to irritation and damage.

While these changes may feel like obstacles, they’re also an opportunity to care for your skin in gentle new ways to support its evolution.

A routine for sixties skin

Skincare should center around hydration, repair, and protection - key elements to support the needs of wise skin. No need for heavy actives. A consistent gentle routine will work to replenish moisture, restore strength, and protect delicate skin against environmental stressors. 

Sierra’s approach to her skincare routine is more like a practice: “A daily ritual where you honor yourself and the beauty within you. That care emanates through you, reflecting your health, happiness, and confidence. Self-care is self-love."

Cleanse: Gentle Cleanser
"Botnia taught me not to use bar soap on my face anymore. I use the Gentle Cleanser, which leaves my skin feeling soft and clean without stripping it of moisture."

Tone: Rose Geranium Hydrosol
"I’m obsessed with the scent of Rose Geranium Hydrosol. It softens and hydrates my skin, and I love that it’s antibacterial, helping to balance my skin while calming any irritation."

Serum for hydration: Hydrating Serum

A few drops of Hydrating Serum each day are all it takes to restore moisture and protect against dry skin.

Serum for repair and protection: Wisdom Oil

Massaging in the oil each morning and evening helps to target sun spots and leaves skin feeling deeply nourished and supported.

Serum for repair: Well Serum

A plant-powered alternative to traditional retinols—gentle enough for daily use and safe in the sun. Packed with antioxidants and essential fatty acids, it nourishes skin while addressing fine lines, uneven tone, and overall vitality, all without any harsh side effects.

Moisturize: Restorative Face Cream

Formulated to deeply hydrate and restore, plus crafted with plant peptides to support the skin’s natural plumpness and resilience.

If heading outside, don’t forget to prioritize sun protection with SPF.

Coming into the wild and wise years

"When you’re younger, you’re always looking at how you appear on the outside. But by sixty, you realize beauty is an inside-out job. Beauty is an attitude, and at sixty, I feel like a goddess: sexy, sassy, and confident."

Sierra reminds us that skin is more than just an outer layer—it’s a reflection of your health and happiness. "Take care of it: eat healthy, drink plenty of water, and never take your skin for granted."

At sixty, Sierra exudes a power that comes from embracing herself unapologetically, with years of self-discovery and intention behind her. Her story is a reminder that true beauty lies in self-acceptance—owning who you are and celebrating every step of the journey with confidence and joy.
