Reflection: what is your shelf telling you?
Plan your four steps, and see what you can stop buying
You now know why your old routine stopped working, and what your skin needs instead. Before you buy anything, take ten minutes to look at what you already have. You may need less than you think.

Look at your shelf
- Which products are you using every day? Which haven't you touched in a month?
- Is your cleanser foaming? Does your skin feel tight afterwards?
- Is there fragrance in anything you put on your face?
- Is any hydrating serum sealed with an oil, balm or moisturizer?
- Do you have one product for each of the four steps? Which step is missing?
Where to go next
What to remember from Module 2
1
Your skin makes less of its own oils now. Replace them with fats it recognizes as its own.
2
Your cleanser sets the starting point for everything else. Clean should feel soft, never tight.
3
Reactive skin needs fewer products, no fragrance, and one change at a time.
4
Every hydrating step needs a lid of oil, balm or moisturizer.
5
Four steps, twice a day, for 8 to 12 weeks: cleanse, treat, restore, protect or seal.
If you'd like help putting this into practice
The guide works with whichever products you choose. If you'd like to know what I use for the four steps, it's the Resilience Reset Duo. The M-Veil™ Antioxidant Serum is my Treat step in the morning, and the Resilience Balm is my Seal step at night. Both share the same M-Veil™ Complex of biomimetic lipids, mushroom beta-glucans, antioxidants and bakuchiol. It's a 60-day supply, with a 60-day guarantee.
“My skin is fair, freckly, dry and sun-damaged and prone to rosacea flare-ups. I am very sceptical of any product's ability to make much of a difference to my skin, after trying a good number of them. But this serum has impressed me in every way. It is amazing, the way a tiny drop or two on my fingertip so easily and smoothly covers the entire face and just disappears. I really love how soft and nourished my skin feels afterwards. And after a week of using it, I feel excited about the way I look in the mirror. My skin looks better, healthier, and the rosacea flare-ups are much reduced. I think this product really has made a difference for me, and I intend to keep using it.”Linda W., 65
