Skincare with Greg Gennaro

ANTI-AGING… but below the neck. 👀

We talk a LOT about taking care of the skin on our face—but your face makes up only a small part of your skin.

And there’s an interesting piece of aging research I think more people should know about: inflammation.

Researchers use the term “inflammaging” to describe the chronic, low-grade inflammation associated with aging. In the skin, aging is also associated with changes in barrier function, oxidative stress and cellular processes that affect how well skin maintains its structure and function.

So when we talk about “anti-aging” skincare, I don’t think the conversation should stop at the jawline.

That’s one reason I like Mary Kay TimeWise® Targeted-Action® Toning Lotion.

This isn’t just a basic body moisturizer. It combines serious hydration with ingredients including:

🧬 Encapsulated resveratrol
💧 Vitamin B3 (niacinamide)
🧬 An age-defying peptide
🌿 Vitamin E + açaí berry antioxidants
✨ Glycerin, argan oil, caffeine + pumpkin fruit extract

The antioxidant ingredients help protect skin against environmental stressors and neutralize age-accelerating free radicals on the skin, while the formula provides 24 hours of hydration and supports smoother, firmer-looking skin.

And the results?

After 2 weeks, 94% of women reported smoother skin.

After 4 weeks, 81% reported firmer skin and 77% reported more toned-looking skin.

After 8 weeks, 76% reported improved skin definition.*

That’s the part of skincare I find fascinating: our skin is an organ, and caring for it shouldn’t end at our face.

We can’t stop aging—and a lotion isn’t going to eliminate inflammation throughout the body. But we can support our skin barrier, keep our skin well hydrated and help protect it against some of the environmental stresses that contribute to visible premature aging.

Face skincare is important. Whole-body skincare deserves some attention too.

If you want to know whether adding an anti-aging body product makes sense for your routine, message me. I’m always happy to help you sort through what’s worthwhile and what’s just hype.

So, why choose Mary Kay when there are SO many skincare options out there?

For me, one of the biggest differences beyond our fantastic product quality and efficacy is actually pretty simple: personal service.

There are a lot of great skincare products on the market. But figuring out what your skin actually needs—and what’s actually worth spending your money on—isn’t always so simple.

That’s where I come in.

When you shop Mary Kay with me, you have a real person you can call or text. I can help you understand what a product does, whether you actually need it, and how it fits into the rest of your routine.

I can help you build a skincare routine around your skin, your goals, and your budget—not just sell you a box of products.

And it doesn’t end when you place an order. I follow up. If something isn’t working for you, we’ll figure out why. If your skin changes, we’ll adjust. And when you’re ready to reorder, you don’t have to remember what you bought six months ago.

And the products have some pretty impressive recognition behind them, too. Mary Kay has been named the #1 Direct Selling Brand of Skin Care and Color Cosmetics in the World by Euromonitor International for four consecutive years.

So yes, there are a lot of skincare options out there. With Mary Kay, you’re not just choosing high quality products—you have someone to help you make them work for you.

If it’s been a while since you’ve tried Mary Kay—or you’ve never tried it at all—I’d love to show you what’s new and help you find what actually makes sense for your skin.
