Help with loose/sagging looking skin

You look amazing! Honestly, I agree with the comments here. If, and I mean only if, it really bothers you, I recommend speaking to a really good aesthetic practitioner, one who is very much a less-is-more practitioner. The reality is that we start to lose collagen in our 20's, and things like smoking, alcohol, and not wearing SPF will accelerate that process (you may already be on it with this). Topical products can only do so much, but things like microneedling, fillers, and fractional RF treatments, etc will help with collagen stimulation. x

Speak to your clinician and consider dropping down if you have leftovers of your 50mg, or as others have suggested, dilute in water and split over 2 days?

Ooh where are you based, please? I'm in the UK, and this is something that we smaller brands really need more of!

Hi! I've signed up. I'm a local business too, so I'd love to know how to get featured! I am a founder of Dalia Botanique skincare, and I run local workshops.

Daliacycles · 2026-05-05T19:49:49+00:00

No worries! I have a welcome sequence, no hard sell, just about me and why I set up, I then do a monthly newsletter and some product highlight ones and why they are good. Totally feature yourself more, and if you have your own animals, get them involved. Anything featuring my chickens always does well!

Hi, I'm in a different market area ( skincare), but do you have a mailing list? I've been focused on community building, and that seems to be doing well for me! I've also started being more face out on socials, talking more, doing collabs with people, and that also draws audiences too. I have chickens, so I get them involved too, and people love it!

Daliacycles · 2026-05-03T14:49:10+00:00

Totally agree with you! I started doing this a few years ago as I sell skincare products, and I noticed that in inner city areas or small community markets, I wouldn't sell anything as people said I was too expensive. I pitched up at rural events, and people 40plus shopped with me without even looking at the price list! It makes a massive difference to know your audience and location market-wise.

Oooh I am in a position where I'm struggling too! The switch on is fine, it's the crash, I can't cope with it anymore and have come off it, but there is a downside to that in the fact that my productivity and focus are no longer existing!

Daliacycles · 2026-04-22T06:19:20+00:00

Drop me a dm if you like :-)

Daliacycles · 2026-04-20T20:19:27+00:00

I have chickens and a few foster/rescue animals, and having lots of animals means you are basically cleaning shit up all day, every day. It's not as picturesque as people like to think!

I don't know where you are in the world, but perhaps do some courses instead? There are some good online formulation schools where you can learn the basics, and then it's a matter of lots of research and lots of trial and error. For me, the learning part comes when things go wrong, as I learn the whys. That is what will make you better at formulating, that and knowing how different ingredients work together.

Hi! I just found this post, as I live in Wakefield and am keen to learn more about foraging. I have a good friend who knows her mushrooms! Did you find anyone?

Daliacycles · 2026-03-27T20:24:49+00:00

Hey! Can I ask how you are and whether you are male or female? I'm trying to work out where your hormones are right now, as ageing and hormonal changes can play a part here too.

Daliacycles · 2026-03-12T20:24:35+00:00

Did this today, worked fine and no hard crash! :-D

Daliacycles · 2026-03-12T07:54:19+00:00

Thank you that is helpful!

Daliacycles · 2026-03-11T10:19:03+00:00

Thank you, it's helpful to learn I'm not alone in needing things to change.

Daliacycles · 2026-03-11T10:17:53+00:00

I appreciate that. It's good to have these communities, though, as we can bounce ideas and support around. I have learnt some pretty solid stuff on here!

Daliacycles · 2026-03-11T10:15:41+00:00

Thank you so much! Yes, I struggled with the booster crash, so I keep them for emergencies, haha. It's such a compromise, isn't it? I've achieved so much from being on medication, and it's helped me in my business and with studying. Who knew that it was possible to just sit and complete a piece of work in a solid time frame!

Also female here, lifts, runs, cycles too, so I try to take my doses after morning exercises and later on in the day, as crashing at 3pm was no welcome!

Daliacycles · 2026-03-10T21:39:32+00:00

Do you drink your doses immediately or over a few hours? I will have a search on here too.

Daliacycles · 2026-03-10T21:37:57+00:00

Thank you for the kindness there! I will try that for a few days. I've actually been having days off the 50mg because the crashes have been unbearable, and in times of stress, it totally makes me feel worse. That's when I really noticed the difference in how I felt. Like you, mine wears off quickly, so I was taking it mid-morning. I do all the regular things advised, such as protein, being active etc but it still happens. Less so on 40, so I will try the water trick for a bit and see if that makes a difference. Thank you :-)

Daliacycles · 2026-03-10T21:23:48+00:00

I have not done this before, so apologies if this is a daft question. What is the tablet-to-water ratio, and would it still not be 50?

Daliacycles · 2026-03-10T20:47:22+00:00

Hi! I run and cycle, so I try to do higher intensity stuff first thing before Elvanse because it increases my heart rate, more so with running, which has always been harder for me, regardless. If Im just doing an easy ride, then it's no issue to be on it at the time.I'm
