Before we begin

This started with our own skin.

Amy Lacey founded Livyond after falling for soursop and wondering what the plant could do beyond nutrition. Jimi Sturgeon-Smith had spent decades as a licensed aesthetician, loved botanicals, and was watching her own skin change: less hydration, less firmness, more dullness, and somehow acne and wrinkles at the same time.

“I didn’t want to fight aging. I wanted to age powerfully.”

Jimi Sturgeon-Smith, Licensed Aesthetician

Day 2 · Start at the sink

Sometimes the routine itself is the problem.

A woman can spend hundreds of dollars fixing dryness while unknowingly making it worse every morning and night. Check anything that sounds familiar.

If you finish washing your face and immediately feel like you have to get moisturizer on it, notice that.

  • I wash my face with very hot water.
  • My skin feels tight after cleansing.
  • I like my skin to feel “squeaky clean”.
  • I’m using several strong actives at once.
  • I exfoliate more when I see flakes.
  • I switch products frequently.
  • I assume burning or stinging means it’s working.

What’s inside

Three days. Stop, look, plan.

This isn’t a finish line. Three days is enough to stop, look at what you’re doing, and make a better plan.

  1. 01

    What do you mean by “dry”?

    Dry skin lacks oil. Dehydrated skin lacks water. Get specific about which one you have, then just notice.

  2. 02

    Find what’s working against your skin

    Start at the sink. Two honest checklists, then a reset that asks you to do less, not more.

  3. 03

    Now let’s nourish your skin

    Hydrate consistently, eat your water, build a plate with protein, vitamin C and a healthy fat.

Day 3 · Nourish your skin

What does my skin need more of now?

Hydrate

Fluids and electrolytes, spread consistently throughout your day, not chugged all at once.

Nourish

Protein, healthy fats, and colorful foods that give your body real raw materials.

Treat intentionally

A targeted step, like Vitamin C, chosen with a specific job to do.

We don’t believe healthy-looking skin begins and ends with what you put on your face.

Looking ahead

Cleanse. Vitamin C. Moisturize. Simple.

Once your basic routine is working and your skin feels comfortable, that’s when targeted treatment makes sense. The guide ends with the two steps Amy and Jimi would add next, and when to wait.

The serum isn’t the point of this reset. Understanding your skin is. And if your skin isn’t ready for another active yet? Listen to it.
