You may have heard that skin completely renews itself every 28 days. While that’s often true for young adults, the cycle naturally slows as we age.
So what does that actually mean for your skin?
According to our CEO and resident board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Naana Boakye, skin cell turnover is a gradual, ongoing process, not a hard reset that happens on a perfect monthly schedule. In our 20s, new skin cells typically rise to the surface in about four weeks. Over time, that process slows, meaning dead skin cells linger longer and fresh skin takes more time to emerge.
As turnover slows, skin can appear drier, duller, or more sensitive; especially if the skin barrier is compromised.
This is why consistency matters.
Healthy skin isn’t built on quick fixes or constant routine changes. It’s supported through steady, barrier-focused care that protects the new skin coming to the surface at whatever pace your body is moving.
At Karité, we believe in simple, intentional formulas that nourish and reinforce the barrier with raw, unrefined shea butter at the center. Because renewal is happening every day, even if it doesn’t follow a 28-day calendar.
Long-term skin health begins with consistent care.
