The Night Shift
There's a reason they call it beauty sleep.
While you rest, your skin doesn't.
Nighttime is when your body shifts into repair mode - cell turnover increases, collagen production ramps up,
and your skin works to undo the damage of the day. What you put on before bed determines how well it can do that job.
Here's exactly what I recommend:
Step 1 — Double Cleanse
Oil and water don't mix , which is exactly why an oil cleanser is your critical first step.
Sunscreen, makeup and daily pollution are mostly all oil-based. An oil cleanser dissolves and lifts them in a way water-based cleansers simply cannot.
The second cleanse removes any remaining residue, rebalances the skin and ensures you're going to bed with a truly clean canvas, so every product that follows can fully absorb and do its job.
Skip either step and you're layering your nighttime products over the day's buildup. Not ideal!
One important rule for every step after your cleanse, always extend to your neck and chest. Every single time. 🤍
The Routine:
• Step 1 — Oil Cleanser
• Step 2 — Gel Cleanser
• Step 3 — Pomifera Oil
• Step 4 — Night Cream
• Step 5 — Collagen Shot

Step Three - Pomifera Oil
Pomifera Oil $67
I do not see myself ever not using this one... I am hooked!
Pomifera Pure is a carrier oil meaning it actively carries all of the products you have applied before it even deeper into your skin while sealing everything in. Packed with polyphenols, antioxidants and skin loving omegas it deeply hydrates, supports the skin barrier and visibly reduces fine lines and wrinkles. It came out on top when tested against market leading oils for neutralizing free radicals. Nature's most powerful oil... and I believe it.
Step Four - Night Cream
Counter’s Tripeptide Supreme Cream $98
Years in my routine and still my favorite nighttime cream. Rich and deeply comforting it firms, smooths and replenishes moisture overnight. Bakuchiol and Tetrapeptide do the heavy lifting while you sleep. Your skin will thank you in the morning.
Pomifera Tallow Butter $30
A rich tallow based cream balm hybrid that deeply moisturizes, locks in moisture and supports the skin barrier with a nourishing blend of fatty acids and skin compatible oils. It’s also great for you hands or any other dehydrated areas.
Step Five - Liquid Collagen
Liquid BioCell® Life
$79.99
Skincare is just half of it. No topical reaches the structural layer where collagen is actually produced and this is where Life+ comes in. A simple liquid shot twice a day that works across your entire collagen lifecycle... protecting what you have, stimulating renewal and rebuilding what is weakening. Skin, joints, bone density, hair and nails. This one is non-negotiable for me.
