SKIN PHASES
BARRIER BOOTCAMP
Barrier Bootcamp is the foundation of skin fitness. This phase restores hydration, repairs the skin barrier, calms inflammation, and rebuilds tolerance. It corrects damage caused by over-exfoliation, aggressive treatments, acne medications, environmental stress, or poor skincare habits. Healthy barrier function is essential before introducing active correction.
WHO IT’S FOR
• Sensitive, reactive skin
• Dry or dehydrated skin
• First-time skincare users
WHEN TO PROGRESS
Progress once skin feels calm, hydrated, and stable with no persistent irritation, redness, or sensitivity. At this point, skin is ready to build strength through controlled actives.
RESISTANCE PHASE
The Resistance Phase builds skin endurance. This phase introduces low-to-moderate strength actives to improve pigmentation, texture, breakouts, and early aging while maintaining barrier integrity. It conditions the skin to tolerate actives safely.
WHO IT’S FOR
• Skin ready for corrective care
• Uneven tone, mild pigmentation, congestion
• Early aging and textural concerns
• Clients who tolerate basic actives well
WHEN TO PROGRESS
Progress once skin shows consistent tolerance and improvements begin to plateau. This signals readiness for advanced corrective actives.
SKIN HIIT
Skin HIIT is the high-intensity correction phase. It delivers advanced actives to drive cellular renewal, collagen stimulation, pigment correction, and acne control. This phase delivers visible transformation but requires well-conditioned skin.
WHO IT’S FOR
• Resilient, well-trained skin
• Advanced pigmentation or melasma protocols
• Acne scarring and texture correction
• Photoaging and collagen decline
WHEN TO PROGRESS
Skin HIIT is cyclical, not permanent. Rotate back into Recovery Mode regularly to prevent over-stimulation and maintain long-term skin health.
RECOVERY MODE
Recovery Mode is the reset and repair phase. It focuses on wound healing, inflammation control, barrier restoration, and pigmentation prevention. This phase is essential after in-clinic procedures or during flare-ups, stress, or sensitisation.
WHO IT’S FOR
• Post-microneedling, peels, laser, IPL, or spicule therapy
• Inflamed, sensitised, or over-treated skin
• Rosacea, acne-inflamed, or barrier-impaired skin
• Clients at risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation
WHEN TO PROGRESS
Progress once the skin has healed fully, redness has resolved, and sensitivity is under control. Recovery Mode can be re-entered at any time when skin needs rest.
SKIN GYM
Skin Gym provides at-home skin conditioning treatments that bridge the gap between professional treatments and daily skincare. These products deliver controlled stimulation through exfoliation, masks, and boosters to maintain results and enhance skin responsiveness.
WHO IT’S FOR
• Clients between in-clinic treatments
• Dull, congested, or uneven skin
• Skin needing regular renewal and refinement
WHEN TO PROGRESS
Introduced after Barrier Bootcamp and adjusted based on tolerance. Frequency increases as skin strength improves.
UV DEFENCE MODE
UV Defence Mode is non-negotiable. Daily broad-spectrum SPF protects collagen, prevents pigmentation recurrence, reduces inflammation, and preserves all results achieved in other phases.
WHO IT’S FOR
• Every skin type
• All ages
• All Skin Fitness phases
• Essential for pigmentation, acne, and anti-aging
WHEN TO PROGRESS
This phase never ends. UV Defence Mode runs alongside all phases for lifelong skin protection.
