At YEOUTH, we believe that beauty is more than skin deep—it’s found in the strength, resilience, and real-life experiences of the people who use our products every day. That’s why we created Real People. Real Stories.—a space to share the inspiring journeys, challenges, and life lessons of our YEOUTH community.

These aren’t skincare testimonials. They’re stories of growth, self-love, and transformation—told by real people, for real people. Whether it’s a moment of personal triumph, a fresh start, or a powerful lesson learned, each story is a reminder that we’re all in this journey together.

Welcome to a place where beauty meets authenticity.

Real People. Real Stories.

LaNette’s Story – Love, Care, and Strength Through Dementia

LaNette’s story begins with a question she often finds herself asking: “How does a beautiful, strong-minded, intelligent, caring woman—a mother and grandmother—get dementia?” This disease, she explains, doesn’t care about how much love or kindness someone has given throughout their life. Yet, despite its challenges, LaNette refuses to let it define her mother’s identity.

Her mother, she says, is and always will be “beautiful inside and out.” Even as dementia makes it harder for her mother to remember the little things, LaNette is committed to preserving the heart and spirit that shaped her life.

Growing up, LaNette watched her mother give selflessly. “She would help a mom in need buy groceries for her children without hesitation. She once even gave the shoes off her feet to someone who needed them more,” LaNette recalls. Every week, her mother fed long lines of people, prayed with those who sought comfort, and celebrated birthdays with joy and love. Her life was one of generosity, positivity, and unconditional care.

Caring for a loved one with early-stage dementia is not easy, LaNette admits. “Some days are harder than others,” she says. “But each day is a chance to start fresh. My mama gave me so much—her love, guidance, and support during my own fresh starts. Now it’s my turn to give back.”

Her daily routine is both structured and nurturing:

• Morning rituals: waking up, helping her mother with medication, preparing breakfast, and feeding her therapy cat.
  
  

• Activities: attending silver sneakers class, biking, painting, coloring, phone games, walks, Sabbath lessons, and enjoying musical performances on YouTube.
  
  

• Memory support: family photos, schedules, calendars, and checklists help her mother feel accomplished and connected.
  

Evenings can bring sundowning, moments when confusion, mistrust, or frustration surface. LaNette explains, “These times are confusing and challenging, but patience, love, and prayer guide us through.”

She also wants other daughters and caregivers to understand the emotional complexity: “I am not always happy about the changes in our relationship, but I am deeply grateful for this time with my mama.” Therapy, personal exercise, and support from her husband help LaNette maintain her energy and balance as a caregiver.

Skincare has long been an important part of LaNette’s self-care routine. She shares, “I have always taken care of my skin—from my teenage years to teaching my daughters the importance of caring for themselves.” A few years ago, she discovered YEOUTH products. “They not only make my skin glow and feel soft, but the people behind the brand remind me of the kindness and generosity my mama lived every day,” she says. Using these products has become a way for her to feel rejuvenated and vibrant, even amidst the challenges of caregiving.

Reflecting on this journey, LaNette notes, “Writing this blog has given me a chance to remember cherished memories with my mama and the lessons she passed on. Her spirit, love, and resilience continue to inspire me every single day.”
