Last night, as I was performing my evening ablutions, I decided to listen—really listen—to my skin. Do you ever do that? Just pause for a moment, hand to heart, and gently ask, “What would feel really good right now?”

To my surprise, my skin asked for something different. After cleansing, instead of my usual layered peptides and moisturizers, I reached for the Nectar Oil. As soon as I smoothed it over my face, my skin felt alive—comforted, nourished, glowing from within. It was delicious.

It reminded me of something simple yet essential: our skin, just like our digestive system, has an appetite. It craves variety. It thrives when we nourish it in different ways. Seasonal shifts, time spent indoors or out, travel to new places—all these things subtly change the skin’s needs. Paying attention to those quiet messages keeps the skin barrier vibrant and healthy, not just surviving, but truly flourishing.

Sometimes, the skin hungers for light, watery layers of different molecular peptides, offering deep, cellular-level communication and support. Other times, it simply craves the satisfying richness of pure, luscious oils—something hearty and grounding.

Just like we might reach for a fresh salad one day and a warm bowl of soup the next, our skin benefits from surprising, delightful nourishment too. Modality can also be a form of nourishment: Microcurrent, Gua Sha, Nanoinfusion, Massage—each offers a new stimulus, inviting the skin to respond, to regenerate, to wake up.

If your routine is feeling a little stale—or your skin isn’t singing the way it usually does—take a peek through your skincare cupboard. Rediscover those products you may have set aside. Often, what “stopped working” can simply be a case of skin boredom.

Especially when working toward goals like hyperpigmentation repair or barrier healing, reintroducing nourishing, loving ingredients (in fresh combinations) can create beautiful, renewed momentum.

Let your skincare be a conversation, not a checklist.
Your skin is speaking.
Listen. Surprise it. Nourish it. Love it.
