Skincare at 42
I'm so excited to share my current AM and PM skincare routine with you, and promise—it’s NOT crazy. It only takes me five minutes in the morning and maybe six minutes at night (with a little face taping). After experimenting for three months, I’ve landed on this routine, and I’m absolutely loving it. My skin has never felt better.
I swear by a combo of Osmosis products (an old fave of mine) and the Young Goose line (a recent addition). Together, these two brands are skincare magic. Here's everything step-by-step so you, too, can steal my routine!
Morning Routine (5 Minutes)
Step 1 | Skip the Cleanser
Instead of cleansing, I wet a Clean Skin Club cotton square with filtered water (ps, if you don’t have a sink filter, get one ASAP—here’s a link).
Why no morning cleanse?
Your skin’s natural oils and microbiome need to stay balanced. Over-cleansing strips away these protective oils, leaving your face working overtime to replace them—oily T-zones or super dry, dull skin. Trust me, skipping cleansers in the AM is a game-changer.
Step 2 | Spritz BIO C Peptide Spray
This refreshing spray is full of peptides + vitamin C that I gently press into my skin with my fingertips. Don’t worry about letting it fully dry—skin absorbs serums much better when it’s slightly damp!
Step 3 | Apply RENEW MD Advanced Retinal Serum
This is my holy grail anti-aging product. RENEW MD contains liposomal retinaldehyde, a powerful yet gentle alternative to harsh retinols like tretinoin. It delivers all the anti-aging benefits without irritation or inflammation. Plus, it’s safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women and doesn’t increase sun sensitivity.
Note: *If you’re new to retinal, start slow—just 3-4 times a week at night—and work your way up to daily use.

Step 4 | Add StemFactor MD Serum
This serum is packed with 600+ growth factors to encourage your skin to repair and rejuvenate itself. Think fresh, youthful skin at any age. Fun facts about growth factors in this serum:
Stimulates collagen production
Boosts wound healing and skin repair
Accelerates new cell growth
Step 5 | Moisturize with YOUNG GOOSE Youth Daily Moisturizer
This lightweight moisturizer combats all 12 hallmarks of aging while hydrating your skin to perfection. Key ingredients like spermidine, copper peptides, and fermented resveratrol add significant anti-aging benefits.
Step 6 | Care for Your Neck and Chest
Don’t neglect this area! I use YOUNG GOOSE Firming Neck and Chest Cream to target fine lines and maintain elasticity.
Step 7 | Protect with BIO SHIELD SPF
This SPF is on a different level. It hydrates, fights aging, and shields your skin from blue light, pollution, and EMF damage. Never skip your sunscreen, especially one this amazing!
Night Routine (6 Minutes)
If I’ve been wearing makeup or sunscreen during the day, my nighttime routine starts with a double cleanse.
Step 1 | Double Cleanse with an Oil Cleanser (coming soon) & YOUNG GOOSE Adaptogenic Cleanser
*The Oil Cleanse: Start by using 3-4 pumps to break down makeup and sunscreen for 30 seconds, the wipe the oil using a clean skin club towel. Then repeat with a gel cleanser for another 60 seconds to deep-clean your skin. Rinse & dry.
*I am currently formulating an oil cleanser that will be available coming soon!
Step 2 | Targeted Makeup Removal
For stubborn areas like my under-eyes and hairline, I use Bioderma Micellar Water. It’s gentle and effective for those hard-to-reach spots.
Steps 2, 3, 4, 6 | Repeat Your Morning Routine
Spray BIO C Peptide Spray, apply RENEW MD Retinal Serum, and follow up with StemFactor MD Serum + Neck & Chest Moisturizer.
Step 7 | Overnight Moisturizer
For nighttime, I use YOUNG GOOSE CARE Moisturizer, which reduces fine lines, boosts brightness, and improves skin texture while you sleep.
Step 8 (Optional) | Lock in Hydration with Osmosis Immerse Oil
On nights when I skip face taping, I finish with this deeply hydrating oil. It locks everything in and gives you that “glass skin” glow.
Step 9 | YOUNG GOOSE EyeC.A.R.E. Serum
Don’t forget about the delicate under-eye area. This serum targets fine lines and wrinkles with NAD+ precursors for visible results.
Final Step | Face Taping
Face taping is my little secret weapon. It keeps everything smooth overnight by targeting areas prone to wrinkles or lines, like my forehead. Most nights, I just use 1-2 strips to keep things simple.
And there you have it—my FULL skincare routine. I’m so obsessed with this combo of Osmosis and Young Goose products, and it feels amazing knowing my skin is thriving. Whether you’re new to skincare or looking to upgrade your routine, I hope this guide helps!
