For healthy, beautiful skin, consistency and minimalism is the key to success. However, as your biological clock ticks, your skin may start demanding something more powerful and perhaps more efficient at maintaining a youthful appearance for the longest time period of time.
So, is now the right time to improvise your anti-aging skincare regimen? Since our environment, our age, the weather, stress, and other variable factors change over time, evolving our regimen (with certain add-ons to the basics) can cater to these changing needs.
Once you have assessed your skin’s current state (and waited for the first round of results), here’s how you can hack/improvise (or add the missing steps) to your anti-aging skincare regimen for more effective net results:
1. Exfoliate for a 2X (twice!) Anti-Aging Boost
Exfoliation is a very important part of anti-aging and preventive skincare regimen by removing dry, dead skin cells, improving circulation, clearing blocked pores, and eliminating free radicals while brightening the skin.
Exfoliating with enzyme-based natural exfoliators boosts collagen production. It also allows for better absorption of products (such as serums) to penetrate deeper into the skin. Our Papaya & Honey Mask & Scrub (for Normal/Dry/Oily Skin) and SBR Papaya & Honey Facial Mask (for Sensitive/Blemished/Rosacea-prone skin) is recommended to be used 2-3X times per week for visible results from its first use.
2. Using a Broad Spectrum Sunscreen is Imperative
If you aren’t using sunscreen yet, other treatments might just completely be non-functional. Even when the weather is cloudy or in the winter, you can’t afford to skip using sunscreen in the daytime. So much so, we also recommend it while driving or staying in a partially protected environment.
Broad Spectrum SunProtect SPF30+ prevents sunburn, protects against sun damage and hyperpigmentation, sun spots, wrinkles, premature signs of aging, and free radical damage by physically reflecting – UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C radiations from the sun rays.
3. Moisturize with Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and Cold-Pressed Oils
As you age, your skin loses net Hyaluronic Acid content, the latter being imperative for your skin to look soft, supple, and healthy. Hyaluronic Acid supplementation (naturally-extracted using biotechnology from beneficial bacteria or from ingredients like Almond & Kale that naturally promote natural production of HA – learn more), is the best known humectant currently and naturally locks in water.
Using Hyaluronic Acid along with Aloe Vera and Cold-pressed Hempseed, Sea Buckthorn, and Apricot Kernel Oil prevents dry skin and leaves skin with a youthful-looking glow. In addition, these oils are rich in Vitamin A & E, which improves the appearance of fine lines and reduces signs of aging.

4. Add Peptides & Vitamin C to Your Regimen
Starting from your late-20s, ‘Vitamin C and Peptides’ – can be lifetime game-changers for healthy, low-maintenance, youthful skin. As the first line of defense, Vitamin C neutralizes free radicals, and stimulates the production of collagen.
Next, naturally-derived Peptides (from Organic Brown-rice Substrates), are small proteins that rebuild collagen, make skin firm, and smooth fine lines and wrinkles by ‘filling them in’ from the lower levels of the dermis.
Argireline (also known as ‘Botox in a Jar’) keeps the facial muscles from contracting deeply, and is clinically proven to reduce by up to 60% the appearance of wrinkles with regular use for 6 to 8 weeks. Matrixyl – another latest generation peptide, stimulates the ‘matrix layers in the skin’ to increase overall collagen production by up to 117%.
Together, Argireline + Matrixyl peptides (as used in their most optimum concentration (10:15) and Vitamin C in BioScience Peptide Complex) provides visible results within 60 days of regular use:
- Diminish fine lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet
- Improve hydration
- Lock moisture loss and improve hydration.
- Improve firmness and elasticity.
- Repair damaged skin.
- Brighten skin and boost complexion.
5. Eyeline Repair
Using an eye serum is a good idea when leveling-up your anti-aging regimen. Eyeline Prevention Oil with its in-built massager and powerhouse lineup of eye-care botanicals (like Echinacea, Eyebright, Bilberry, and Sweet Almond Oil) stimulates a quicker renewal of skin cells to combat the signs of aging around the delicate eye area. It is especially proven effective for preventing and repairing crow’s feet.
Overnight targeted treatment gives faster results when used with Aloe Eye Serum (for Daytime) and BioScience Peptide Complex.
6. 2X Serum Solutions
Last but not the least, for 2X results, amplify the effects of BioScience Peptide Complex with the advanced power of Collagen Boost Serum (CBS). CBS is especially important for skin over 35.
Our PVO double-strength collagen repairing serum is infused with anti-aging botanicals Gotu Kola, Gingo, Bilberry, Allantoin, and Naturally sourced (not synthetic) Vitamins to repair the skin daily from sun and free-radical damage. Diminished expression and fine lines are usually seen within 2 weeks of use.
