About ...

I’ve always been a little obsessed with how small tweaks or simple beauty habits can make a big difference in how you look.

I didn’t try anything extreme — just simple things — and noticed that over time, my face and neck looked better.

I honestly didn’t expect some of this stuff to work as well as it did.

I spent years experimenting with beauty gadgets, skincare, makeup — and even food. Eventually, that led me to facial fitness and becoming a Certified Facial Fitness Specialist.

I kept trying things and kept what actually worked and was easy to do.

Here, I share what I’ve learned, what I’ve tried myself, and what I keep coming back to because it works for me.

How my approach was shaped

I was raised by two strong Polish women who shaped how I think about beauty to this day.

My mother was a hardworking immigrant who believed beauty wasn’t about vanity, but about taking care of yourself. She took pride in how she looked and focused on simple, inexpensive routines that worked for her — not what was trendy.

My grandmother (Babcia) relied on simple, homemade skincare using ingredients like honey, buttermilk, herbs, and foods she had on hand. Born in 1899 in Poland, she lived through war and hardship, yet still found practical ways to care for herself.

Watching her sparked my interest in natural skincare and daily habits that support healthy-looking skin — including the foods we eat.

From them, I learned two things that still guide me:

• It’s okay to take pride in how you look.
• You don’t need expensive products or drastic measures — just smart, thoughtful care.

Curiosity, experiments, and strange gadgets

Over the years, I explored facial exercises, massage techniques, skincare ingredients, tools, and everyday beauty habits — long before many of them became popular.

Some things worked beautifully.
Some didn’t work at all.

That process taught me something important: price doesn’t equal results. Technique matters more than hype.

I’ve also tried just about every facial gadget, device, and “interesting” beauty tool you can imagine. Some were helpful. Some were strange. Some were a complete waste of money.

That’s why I don’t recommend anything I haven’t personally used. Everything on Anti-Aging Beauty Zone is filtered through real experience — not trends.

My background & training

Experience matters — especially when it’s paired with real-world testing.

I trained under Carolyn Cleaves, creator of Carolyn’s Facial Fitness®, and was awarded Honorary Certificates in Facial Fitness and Face Lift Through Exercise.

I also spent over 10 years as an Anti-Aging Health Advisor at the Life Extension Foundation, where I contributed to Life Extension Magazine and the Disease Prevention & Protocols book. That experience deepened my understanding of how skin, nutrition, lifestyle, and aging all work together.

In addition, I studied herbal therapy and holistic skin health under Ric Scalzo, founder of Gaia Herbs, and continue to follow science-based wellness research through organizations like the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI).

I don’t believe in choosing between science and practical experience — the best guidance usually comes from understanding both.

If you enjoy practical, at-home beauty ideas, you might like the recent features I was part of in The GB News and Beauty Box Magazine.

They covered facial exercises, massage techniques, skin-nourishing foods, and realistic skincare routines.

What Anti-Aging Beauty Zone is about

Not about:

• chasing youth
• fixing flaws
• meeting impossible beauty standards

But about:

• helping things work better
• making small adjustments
• choosing what you care about

Some women focus on eyes. Others on cheeks, skin texture, or their neck. There’s no “right” priority — only what matters to you.

Not just the owner—I’m the test subject

Everything I talk about on this site, I actually do myself. 

• I use the tools.
• I follow the routines.
• I test the products.

Some of my favorites include the Kansa wand for massage, facial exercises (the foundation of my routine), and puffy-eye serums.

You’ll also see real before-and-after photos of my face, neck, and dark spots throughout the site — no filters, no skin-smoothing, no retouching.

What I believe

What guides my work:

• Aging is natural — but looking tired doesn’t have to be
• Small daily habits can make a noticeable difference
• Not everything can be reversed, but a lot can be improved
• The best beauty advice comes from real women with real experience
