In Your 30s: Smooth With An Exfoliating Peel
The Fix: Skin's natural exfoliation process starts to slow in your 30s, which can lead to dullness. This spa-grade peel is packed with lactic, glycolic and fruit acids to resurface the skin and increase cell turnover. Apply a teaspoon over your face with the applicator brush, leave on for 10 minutes then rinse with lukewarm water.

In Your 40s: Brighten With A Treatment Creme
The Fix: Accumulated sun exposure along with hormone fluctuations in this decade can produce pigmentary changes-a.k.a. sun spots and melisma. This treatment cream brightens the complexion with potent botanicals including plum pulp extract, soybeans and wasabi extract. Apply a small amount in the morning and evening over the entire face with a light, upward motion or tap directly on dark spots.

In Your 50s: Seal In Intense Hydration With A Mask and Mist
The Fix: Restore plummeting moisture levels with a moisturizing ritual-this gel mask, derived from tender coconut fruit, forms an occlusive barrier on the face, enabling the potent serum of red algae and bio-derived hyaluronic acid to penetrate deeply. (It claims to boost skin's moisture by up to 200% in 15 minutes). Finish with a mist of botanical water with humectants to rehydrate your complexion minus any drying alcohols, so you look luminous all day.
