My ZO Skin Health Routine, Plus Before & After Pictures

My 40th birthday is right around the corner (in December), and the more into my late 30s I’ve gotten, the more important great skincare has become to me. For months now (maybe even years), my Dallas-based friends have been raving about ZO Skin Health. A little background about ZO: ZO is named after Dr. Zein Obagi, a world-renowned dermatologist. With over 35 years of experience, Dr. Obagi has all but perfected the art of science + skincare and has the products and clinics to prove it! One of their clinics is located in Dallas, and although I’ve yet to secure an appointment when I’m in town, I decided to do an online skin consult with Bethany (@thedallasinjector). I filled out a brief questionnaire, sent in some pics and then patiently waited for her confirmation email. About two-ish weeks later, I was in! We discussed whether to go slow or fast in terms of seeing results/changes. At first I wanted fast results, but there can be much more visible "harsh" side effects. We decided it might be best to start slow and see how I liked it before doing something more extreme. She gave me a dedicated morning and evening routine based on my skincare needs/goals. Don't let the amount of products overwhelm you. I was using close to this many prior to ZO, I maybe added 1-2 more to the routine. Remember: This is self care, treating yourself and your skin to what it needs. I’ve been diligently following these routines since August and can honestly say I’ve noticed a huge difference in my overall skin thanks to ZO Skin Health products. In my opinion, these are the 11 best ZO skincare products, and using them together makes a huge difference in results. Check out Bethany's profile for some incredible results - I'll get there soon!

Let me break both routines down for you so you can read about which ZO products are the best, how much ZO skincare costs, and determine if it’s something you want to do for yourself! If you have any specific questions about my routine or any of the products I mentioned, please don’t hesitate to leave a comment on this post or DM me on Instagram!

UPDATE: After 3 months of being on the current routine, we are now ramping things up and I'm going to start a more accelerated routine. I'll be adding in a wrinkle and texture repair retinol .5%, accelerated brightalive serum, accelerated rozatrol serum, accelerated firming serum. These products should be arriving to me any day!
