How to Use Your Collagen Lift Cream
Begin by cleansing and toning your skin to prepare it for better absorption. Use one pump of the cream for your neck area and another pump for your face.
Warm one pump between your fingertips, then apply it to your neck using gentle upward sweeping motions, starting from the collarbone and moving towards the jawline. Warm the second pump and apply to your face using soft circular movements across the cheeks, forehead and jawline. Keep the pressure light so you stimulate the skin without dragging it.
Allow the cream a moment to settle into your skin before applying SPF in the morning.
Tip:
Using upward motions on the neck and circular motions on the face helps circulation, smoothness and absorption — especially supportive for midlife skin.
How to Use Your Stem Cell Regeneration Serum
Always begin by cleansing and toning your skin so the serum can absorb properly. Use one to two drops depending on how thirsty or dry your skin feels that day.
Warm the serum lightly between your fingertips, then apply it using gentle circular motions across the face. Work slowly and evenly, allowing the serum to glide over the skin. Spend a little extra time on areas where fine lines tend to appear, such as around the lips, across the forehead and around the eye area, keeping your touch light and comfortable.
Give the serum a moment to settle before layering anything on top. You can follow with your Collagen Lift Cream or another moisturiser if you wish, but there is no need to add more unless your skin wants the extra hydration.
Tip:
Using small circular motions helps the serum reach deeper surface layers of the skin and encourages a brighter, smoother finish.
⭐ Founder’s Note: A No-Fuss, Adaptable Approach
One of the core principles behind Balanced Botanics is that skincare should work around your life — not the other way around. Your routine should be easy, adaptable, and completely fuss-free. You choose the products you enjoy, and you choose the rhythm that feels right for you.
These routines are here to guide you, but they are not strict rules. Ideally, you’ll follow them morning and evening, but if that doesn’t fit into your day, once a day is absolutely fine — it’s far better than nothing, and your skin will still thank you for it. And if you skip a day or two, please don’t worry. Our formulations are designed to deeply hydrate and support the skin for up to 72 hours, so even on the days when life gets busy, your skin is still benefiting.
Use your products in a way that feels good, keep it simple, and trust that your skin is being looked after — even when your routine isn’t perfect.

YOUR DAILY ROUTINES

Your Morning Skincare Routine
Ideally, your skincare is done morning and evening to give your skin the best support — but Balanced Botanics is designed to work around your life, not take it over. If you only use one hero product, that’s perfectly fine. Consistency matters far more than doing every step.
In the morning, begin by cleansing your skin to refresh and prepare the surface. Follow with toner if you enjoy the extra comfort it brings. After that, choose the product that feels right for your skin that day — your serum, your Collagen Lift Cream, or both together.
If you’re using the serum, apply one to two drops with gentle circular motions. If you’re using the Collagen Lift Cream, apply one pump to the neck and one pump to the face using upward and circular movements. If you’re using both, apply the serum first and give it a moment to settle before applying your cream.
Finish with SPF once everything has absorbed.
Whether your morning routine is two steps or five, your skin will still feel fresher, smoother and more supported for the day ahead.

Your Evening Skincare Routine
Evening skincare is when your skin does most of its repairing, so this is a lovely time to give it a little care — whether that’s with one single product or a fuller routine. Twice a day is ideal, but if you only manage one routine, evening is the best time to do it.
Start by removing any makeup or SPF with micellar water if you use it. Cleanse to lift away the day’s impurities and follow with toner to soothe the skin. On the evenings you feel like it, you can exfoliate (two to three times a week is plenty for midlife skin) or use your face mask after cleansing.
After that, simply choose your hero — serum, Collagen Lift Cream, or both. Apply the serum with soft circular motions, especially around areas where lines are more visible. Apply your Collagen Lift Cream using upward and circular movements for nourishment and comfort overnight.
There is no strict rule — just use what your skin enjoys. Even a simple evening routine makes a real difference by morning.
A Simple Approach to Eye Care
The eye area is one of the first places to show signs of tiredness, dryness and fine lines — especially through midlife — which is why a dedicated eye cream can make such a noticeable difference. If you have one of our eye creams, apply a tiny amount after your serum and before your moisturiser, tapping gently with your ring finger around the orbital bone to support absorption without pulling the skin.
If you’re new to using an eye product, this is a lovely step to introduce whenever you feel ready. It doesn’t add complexity, and a small amount used regularly can brighten, smooth and refresh the delicate eye area far more effectively than facial moisturisers alone.
We also have an updated eye formula launching in the new year — a richer, more targeted blend designed especially for midlife skin. If you’re looking to refresh tired winter eyes or soften lines, it will be a beautiful addition to your routine.
A light touch and consistency are all you need — even a small daily amount can help your eye area look more rested and supported.
