    Consistency beats intensity—small daily habits create long-term radiance.

Decade 1: Thriving Through Your 30s

When clients enter their 30s we prioritize a simplified ritual that balances oil, restores barrier strength, and treats the “ghosts” of teenage breakouts. Think vitamin C each morning, clarifying serum two nights a week, and Ritual facials every quarter. Add microneedling if pregnancy or stress has left scars or melasma. Most importantly, build the SPF habit now—Calgary’s altitude magnifies UV exposure all year.

Decade 2: Hormone Wise in Your 40s

Perimenopause, caregiving, and leadership roles often converge during this decade. We schedule Renewal microneedling series to stimulate collagen, integrate Repair bio-retinol, and focus on cortisol-friendly Ritual facials. Exosome hair restoration keeps hormonal thinning in check, while hydration stacking—toner, essence, serum, moisturizer—keeps skin supple despite furnace heat and winter winds.

Decade 3: Flourishing in Your 50s and Beyond

Our 50s clients love combining lymphatic Ritual facials with LED therapy to counter puffiness, fluid retention, and bone structure changes. We pair bio-retinol with peptides at night, counsel on collagen-rich nutrition, and schedule maintenance exosome sessions annually. Focus shifts to maintaining fascia integrity, supporting neck and décolleté, and embracing makeup-optional confidence.
