🌟 Weekly Add-Ons

✨ Exfoliation

If skin is dull or congested:
Use Glycolic Acid Serum once or twice weekly.

✨ Hydration Boost

If experiencing dryness:
Apply an extra layer of the Embrace Collagen Moisturizer at night.

💡 Tips for Best Results

  • Introduce glycolic + retinol slowly.

  • If your skin is sensitive, use glycolic OR retinol, not both on the same night.

  • Hydrate daily — prevention starts now.

  • Sunscreen is your biggest “anti-aging” product.

  • Consistency over perfection.

Why This Ritual Matters (30–45)

  • Collagen production begins to slow, leading to early signs of firmness loss + fine lines.

  • Skin turnover may be less consistent → texture, dullness.

  • Hormonal changes / stress can affect skin’s moisture and radiance.

  • Using actives + barrier-supporting hydration helps maintain a youthful glow and bolster the skin’s structure.

🧖‍♀️ Daily Routine (AM / PM)

Morning (AM)

  1. Cleanse

    • Use a gentle cleanser to start the day fresh without damaging the skin barrier.

    • Product: Kale Face Cleanser — soothing botanical-based cleanser.

  2. Tone / Prep (Optional)

    • If you like a light mist or toner for prep, you can use a hydrating toner (if you have one) or skip to serum.

  3. Antioxidant / Boost Serum

    • Apply a serum that fights free radicals + brightens skin.

    • Recommended Product: Firm Serum — for firmness and early preventative support.

  4. Moisturize (AM)

    • Lock in hydration and support elasticity.

    • Product: Embrace Collagen Moisturizer — rich yet not heavy, with collagen, vitamin E, and barrier-supporting ingredients.

  5. Sun Protection

    • Use a broad-spectrum SPF daily. (Vital, especially when using actives.)

Evening (PM)

  1. Remove Makeup / SPF + Cleanse

    • If you wear makeup or SPF, do a double cleanse (oil-based first, then Kale Face Cleanser).

  2. Apply Treatment Serum

    • Use a more active serum in the evening to boost collagen / renewal.

    • Product: Collagen & Retinol Serum — the retinol supports cell renewal + collagen, while hyaluronic acid helps maintain plumpness.

  3. Night Repair / Cream

    • After your active serum, apply a richer, restorative cream.

    • Product: Night Renewal Crème — helps to support skin overnight; includes glycolic acid + retinyl palmitate.

🔄 Optional / Weekly Step(s)

  • Glycolic Exfoliation: Use Glycolic Acid Serum 1–2× per week (if your skin tolerates) to gently exfoliate, improve texture, and boost radiance.

  • Hydrating “Boost Nights”: On nights where skin feels dry or stressed, skip the active + just apply the Embrace Collagen Moisturizer + maybe a drop of face oil if desired.

💡 Tips for Best Results (30–45 Skin)

  • Start Slowly with Retinol: If new to retinol, begin 2–3 nights per week; increase gradually as skin tolerates.

  • Protect with SPF Always: Your active night treatments make daily sun protection even more essential.

  • Be Consistent: The benefits of collagen + retinol build over time, so stay steady.

  • Hydrate Internally: Encourage good water intake + healthy lifestyle (sleep, diet) — these support collagen too.

  • Mind Sensitivity: If you experience irritation, reduce active usage and prioritize barrier recovery with your moisturizer.
