That extra pump is tempting. Especially when your skin feels dry and you want to give it a little more love. š
But before adding more serum, Iād check how youāre using it.
Clean skin. The recommended amount. A gentle application. And dry or damp skin? That depends on your serum - not a universal skincare rule you saw online.
For dry, sensitive midlife skin, I want the routine to feel manageable, not like another thing to get āperfect.ā
Save this for your next skincare evening. And tell me honestly: do you follow the amount on the bottle, or add a little extra ājust in caseā? š

Bakuchiol doesnāt need to borrow retinolās name to earn a place in your routine.
I understand why ānatural retinolā caught on. Itās familiar. But it also makes two different ingredients sound interchangeable.
When Iām choosing ingredients for dry, sensitive, midlife skin, Iām not looking for the closest copy of something else. Iām asking: what does this ingredient offer, and how does the whole formula support the skin using it?
Thatās the thinking behind superRenew: 0.5% bakuchiol alongside CoQ10, sea buckthorn, rosehip and squalane oils, in a fragrance-free formula.
Not a retinol impersonator. A formula with its own purpose. š
Had you heard of bakuchiol by its own name - or only as ānatural retinolā?

āMy skin is changingā doesnāt have to mean āI need an entirely new shelf.ā š
Sometimes, itās a reason to pause and be more thoughtful about what youāre using.
I love how she puts it: being more intentional. Thatās the thinking behind superPeptide- skincare made with changing midlife skin in mind, where the whole formula matters, not just the ingredient on the front.
And yes, Iām rather fond of the little blue bottle too. š
Whatās one thing youāve become more particular about in your skincare?
When I formulate for midlife skin, I think about the whole formula.
For superPeptide, that meant pairing 1% GHK-Cu copper peptide with Palmitoyl tripeptide-5 and choosing the ingredients around them just as carefully.
Ectoin, Centella, multi-molecular Hyaluronic acid are part of that thinking - with hydration, comfort and barrier in mind.
Every ingredient has a reason to be there. And every choice starts with the skin this serum is made for š
Do you include copper peptide in your routine?
Tell me your experience with it.

But coming back to what I wanted to say:
Once you reach midlife, the advice can start sounding like a shopping list. Another serum. A stronger active. One more step.
As a founder, my question is simpler: what is each product actually doing for your skin?
A longer routine isnāt automatically a better one. And a product doesnāt earn its place just because it says ānaturalā or leaves your face feeling squeaky clean.
Iām not against actives. Iām for a thoughtful routine where every step has a purposeāand your skin feels comfortable with it.
Which of these have you heard most?
1ļøā£ More products as you age
2ļøā£ Natural is always better
3ļøā£ Tight means clean
Tell me your number. š
What does āBiomimeticā actually mean for your skin?
It sounds technical, but the idea is simple: take cues from how skin naturally works.
Think of ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids, copper peptides, CoQ10- all naturally found in our skin cells.
They are one example of how understanding skin can guide the ingredients we choose.
As a Formulator creating for midlife skin, this is where I start: what does changing skin need, and how can the whole formula support it?
That thinking is at the heart of Pure & Cimple.š
What skincare term would you like me to explain next?

My 30-year-old self would be quite surprised that Iām enjoying my 50s. š
Not because everything gets easier. But because Iām getting clearer about what deserves my time and what really doesnāt.
Seeing my friends. Trying something new without needing to be good at it. Resting without first completing every task known to mankind.
And skincare? Iām more interested in skin that feels comfortable than skin that looks like it belongs to someone else.
I can enjoy this chapter without loving every change. Thereās room for both. š
What do you enjoy more now than you did ten years ago?

A full skincare shelf can still leave you wondering what to use tonight.
If I were sorting mine, I wouldnāt start by asking what else I needed. Iād ask why each product was there.
Does my skin like it? Do I actually use it? Or am I keeping it because it was expensive ā or looked convincing in someone elseās routine?
When our skin changes in midlife, it makes sense to take another look at what weāre using. No guilt about what we bought. No pressure to replace everything.
My goal wouldnāt be the smallest skincare routine. Just one where every product has a reason to stay.
Comment SHELF and Iāll send you my Keep, Pause or Toss checklist to work through your own collection. š

By bedtime, youāve done enough. Taking your makeup off shouldnāt feel like another project. š
Hereās superLumine doing the evening shift: start on dry skin, massage gently for 30 seconds, then add a little water and massage until milky. Rinse thoroughly.
A simple cleansing ritual for those āmakeup off, hair up, nobody needs anything else from meā evenings.
Are you taking your makeup off the moment you get homeāor leaving it until the last possible minute? š
āItās amazing!ā Okay, but tell me what made you buy it again. š
Was your skin less tight by lunchtime? Did you stop reaching for another layer? Or did you just love how it felt going on?
As a founder, those details mean more to me than a glowing first impressionāespecially when weāre talking about dry, sensitive midlife skin.
Thatās the conversation I want us to have about moisturisers, including our own superSupple. Beyond the lovely texture: how does your skin feel as the day goes on?
Think of the last moisturiser you repurchased. What earned it a second bottle?
