‍

When it comes to anti-aging skincare, consistency and ingredient quality matter more than expensive routines or overwhelming 10-step regimens. This guide walks you through a simple yet powerful routine that delivers visible results over time using our science-backed products.

Whether you’re just starting or refining your regimen, this guide is for you.

Step 1: Cleanse (AM + PM)

Cleansing removes dirt, excess oil, makeup, and environmental toxins that build up throughout the day.

‍

What to do:

• Use a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser suited to your skin type.
• Avoid harsh scrubs—aging skin needs gentle exfoliation.
• Pat dry with a soft towel. Don’t rub!

PRO TIP : A morning cleanse removes nighttime buildup, while an evening cleanse clears pollutants and product residue.

‍

Step 2: Apply Targeted Serums (AM or PM)

This is where real anti-aging power lies. Serums deliver concentrated active ingredients that address specific concerns like wrinkles, texture, or dullness.

‍

Key ingredients to look for:

• Peptides: Promote collagen production and skin repair.
• Niacinamide: Supports skin barrier and evens tone.
• Growth Factors: Encourage cellular turnover and regeneration.
• Vitamin C (AM): Brightens skin and protects against free radicals.
• Retinol (PM): A gold-standard anti-aging ingredient for fine lines and pigmentation.

PRO TIP : Use no more than 2 serums at once to avoid irritation. Apply from thinnest to thickest in texture.

‍

Step 3: Moisturize (AM + PM)

Hydration plumps up skin, reduces the look of fine lines, and keeps your barrier intact—especially important as we age

‍

What to do:

• Use a moisturizer rich in hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or panthenol.
• In the daytime, go lighter. At night, choose a richer texture for repair while you sleep.

PRO TIP : Use no more than 2 serums at once to avoid irritation. Apply from thinnest to thickest in texture.

‍

Step 4: Protect (AM Only)

UV damage is the #1 cause of premature aging. If you do nothing else—use sunscreen.

‍

What to do:

• Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every morning, even if you’re indoors or it's cloudy.
• Don’t forget areas like your neck, hands, and under the eyes.

PRO TIP : Look for sunscreens with added antioxidants like Vitamin E or green tea for added protection.

Step 5: Weekly Extras

• Use a gentle AHA/BHA exfoliant to remove dead skin cells and boost glow.
• Masks (1–2x per week): Hydrating or firming masks can supercharge your routine.
