Daily Regimen
For optimal anti-aging benefits, use a hydrating peptide cleanser in the morning and evening, followed by a bakuchiol + peptide moisturizer. Apply a mineral antioxidant boosting sunscreen in the morning for UV protection.
If tolerated, exfoliate 1-2 times per week with a gentle scrub or chemical exfoliant to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover.

Anti-Aging Ingredients
Bakuchiol is a plant-derived retinol alternative that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles without the irritation associated with retinol.
Peptides are amino acid compounds that can stimulate collagen production, improve skin firmness, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Hyaluronic acid is a powerful humectant that can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, helping to deeply hydrate and plump the skin.
Antioxidants like vitamins C and E neutralize free radicals that can damage skin cells and accelerate the aging process.
Signs of Aging
Common signs include fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, dullness, loss of elasticity, and uneven skin tone.
It’s recommended to start using preventative anti-aging products in your 20s to delay the onset of visible signs of aging.
Skincare for Men
While the basic principles of anti-aging skincare apply to both genders, men’s skin is typically thicker and oilier, so they may prefer lighter, oil-free formulations.
Protection and Benefits
UV exposure is a major contributor to premature aging. A broad-spectrum sunscreen helps protect against sun damage and the formation of fine lines and age spots.
Mineral sunscreens use physical blockers like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to deflect UV rays, while chemical sunscreens absorb UV radiation. Mineral sunscreens are generally less irritating.
A hydrating cleanser gently removes impurities without stripping the skin’s natural oils, helping to maintain a healthy skin barrier and prevent dryness.
Incorporate additional treatments like serums, masks, and professional treatments as needed. Maintain a healthy lifestyle with proper nutrition, hydration, and stress management.
