Beauty that lasts is built in the daily choices, not smoking, applying SPF, gentle exfoliation, deep sleep, and smart supplementation that keep collagen plentiful and inflammation low. But biology evolves, what serves you at 25 isn’t identical to what your 45-plus body needs. Lets take a look at a healthy, glow focused morning routine at 25 vs. 45+.
The Age Hack 25 vs. 45+ Routines at a Glance
Age 25 (Skin Support + Simple Hydration)
- Cold dip face
Helps de-puff quickly via vasoconstriction; a classic dermatolagist tip.
- Apply eye masks
The Age Hack Under Eye Masks contain Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid to reduce fine lines and replenish tired eyes. - Big glass of water + 1 scoop CGN+
Support skin elasticity and brightness, improve skin barrier strength to reduce congestion. - 1 HLA Capsule
Randomised, double-blind trials (120 mg/day for 12 weeks) report higher skin hydration and improvements in wrinkle appearance. Expect visible changes in 8 - 12 weeks with consistency.
- Healthy breakfast
eg. Eggs & Avocado on Toast, Fruit Smoothie with CGN, Acai Bowl with Greek Yoghurt and Fruit.
Age 45+ (Nurturing Repair of Skin, Enhance Energy & Metabolism)
- Cold dip face + Apply Eye Masks
Same quick wins as above, depuff and improve alertness.
- Big glass of water + 1 scoop LIV
Your "everything in one" longevity base - 1 HLA Capsule
Benefit from improved skin hydration and appearance as well as providing sore joint relief. - 1 NAD⁺ Capsule
NAD⁺ levels decline with age across multiple tissues; supporting this pathway is a midlife priority. NAD⁺ infustions are price and experience prohibitive with a limited half life, our pure NAD⁺ supplement offers an easy way to support this essential longevity co-factor.
- Fast until 11am (gentle time-restricted window)
Studies suggest fasting up-regulates autophagy pathways helping your body to clear out damaged or old cells. - Break the fast with a high–good-fat, low-sugar breakfast
Eg. Eggs with Avocado and Tomatoes, Smoked Salmon with Cucumber and Walnuts, Greek Yoghurt with Hemp Seeds and Cinnamon. Lower-sugar, higher-protein/fat first meals typically produce a gentler glucose response and better satiety, useful as insulin sensitivity naturally ebbs with age.
Why The Routines Differ
At 25: Prevent & Fortify
At 25, your cellular engines hum along efficiently: your natural NAD⁺ is comparatively high, repair processes are brisk, and collagen is plentiful. The smartest play is prevention protect what you have and keep the skin barrier strong.
If you’re passionate about proactive aging, start with gentle, inside-out support. HLA Capsules help lock in deep hydration for a smoother, bouncier complexion. Pair them with CGN+ Marine Collagen to support collagen integrity and skin elasticity, key for delaying the look of fine lines. Many also notice a calmer, less congested-looking complexion when the barrier is well-nourished and inflammation is kept in check.
At 45+: Renew & Preserve
By midlife, NAD⁺ production naturally tapers. Energy can dip, repair slows, and skin often shows more dryness, laxity, and uneven tone. This is the moment to emphasize regeneration and preservation. Our signature all-in-one longevity formula LIV, alongside our pure NAD⁺ supplements, offers a way to reverse the visible and invisible signs of ageing and restore energy.
Consider a later first meal to encourage autophagy, and shift nutrition toward steadier fuel: fewer fast-release carbohydrates, more protein, fiber, and quality fats to support brain health and all-day energy.
FAQ
Can a 25-year-old fast too?
You can, but it’s not required for benefits. If you do, keep it gentle to reduce the risk of doing metabolic damage (12 - 14 hours), listen to your body's energy levels, and reduce the fasting window, or stop fasting if training quality or mood dips.
Can someone 45+ do the 25-year-old breakfast?
Absolutely, just watch sugars at your first meal. A higher-protein/fat first plate tends to stabilise glucose and appetite better in midlife.
How long until I notice changes?
- LIV/CGN+: 4-6 weeks for a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, many people using LIV notice an immediate improvement in energy.
- HLA Capsules: 8–12 weeks for a visible improvement in skin hydration/texture. Those with joint pain often notice an improvement after the first dose.
- Time Restricted Eating (fasting window): Some people feel steadier energy and better appetite control within 1–2 weeks; metabolic markers change over months.
Beauty that endures is about matching your ritual to your season of life. At 25, your job is prevention: keep what’s abundant by locking in deep, inside-out hydration and supporting collagen integrity and elasticity. By 45+, the brief shifts to renewal and preservation: improve cellular energy and repair visible skin vitality, make small changes to your nutrition to support your changing metabolism and cell production, consider a later first meal to encourage autophagy, and pivot nutrition toward steadier fuel, fewer fast-release carbs, more protein, fibre, and quality fats, to support brain and skin health throughout the day.
