After my recent blog on Night Repair Therapy from The Skin Diary, I was genuinely touched by the overwhelming response. So many of you reached out, not only to share your own experiences with skin health, but also to ask me one clear question:
“If Night Repair Therapy is your night-time essential Rozina, what does the ultimate skincare regime look like? “
It’s a brilliant question, because while a single product can be transformative, true skin health is built on consistency and synergy. A carefully chosen system of products that protect by day, restore by night, and strengthen your skin’s structure over time.
And this is where both personal and professional perspectives matter. The skin is the largest organ of the body, a living, breathing structure that acts as our natural barrier, insulating us against dehydration, sunlight, pollution and the many elements that drive accelerated ageing. Having spent almost 30 years in Plastic surgery, I see skin not as simply the surface, but as a complex organ system, that accumulates and reflects both our inner health and our external environment. The skin remembers.
In my surgical practice, I work daily with skin at its deepest levels: repairing, rejuvenating and restoring function and form. This means I understand not just how skin looks, but how it moves, stretches, behaves. How it repairs itself, and how it ages.
Pushing the boundaries beyond conventional skincare appearance, I want to help my patients achieve strong, radiant skin using a system of intelligent daily care and innovative in-clinic techniques such as micro-needling, injectables and regenerative therapies. If I do recommend a skincare regime, it isn’t about a passing trend or any marketing promises, it’s based on science, evidence and decades of clinical experience. It’s an awareness of what has improved and strengthened my skin, making life easier by improving appearance and texture.
So here it is, by popular demand, my personal and professional ultimate skincare regime, The five carefully selected products Dr Rozina Ali recommends to help you unlock your skin’s full potential and embrace a smooth, glowing and healthy complexion.
Step 1: Brightening Foam
Every great skincare regime begins with a cleanser that does more than just remove dirt and debris. My go-to is Brightening Foam by mesoestetic. It’s a creamy foam cleanser to be used with water, that does more than just remove impurities; it gently renews the skin, leaving it feeling smooth and elastic, not dry or tight. What makes it special is the way it balances care with results. Gentle exfoliating acids help to refine texture and boost brightness, while a post-biotic ingredient works to support your skin’s natural barrier and keep it healthy. At the same time, its anti-pollution complex helps to sweep away the daily build-up from city living and protect against the oxidative stress that speeds up ageing. The result is a cleanser that not only lifts away what your skin doesn’t need, but also prepares it beautifully for the actives that follow. A radiant, rebalanced base is the first step in every effective skincare regime.
Step 2: D|TOX & RE|PAIR (Exosome Therapy)
Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles, think of them as mobile repair kits released by cells to promote healing and regeneration. Exosome therapy stimulates collagen production, boosts hydration, improves elasticity, and calms inflammation. One of the most actively revolutionary products is Exo|E, a plant-based exosome proven to increase collagen expression by 165%, hyaluronic acid by 198%, and elastin by 891%, while reducing inflammation by 61%. This data is truly remarkable, and there is currently no other technology available that can deliver these kinds of results.
Exosomes are applied as a serum – just 2 to 3 drops, on freshly cleansed skin. Chemical-free, water-based, and highly effective, this breakthrough in regenerative skincare supports recovery, resilience, and long-term radiance.
Application guidance:
Morning: (Step 2) After you have cleansed with brightening foam, apply a few drops of D|TOX to exfoliate, resurface and rehydrate your skin throughout the day.
Evening: ( Step 4) Apply RE|PAIR to calm down inflammation, upregulating peptides to repair and regenerate your skin cells while you rest. This should be applied immediately on cleansed skin. It contains anti-inflammatory properties that up regulate DNA genes meaning it can also be used to treat sunburn or after aesthetic treatments such microneedling.
Then you WAIT. The hardest part of all, just wait 10 mins whilst the exosomes are absorbed. Night Repair Therapy see step 5 below.
This simple AM/PM routine maximises the regenerative benefits of exosome therapy, ensuring hydration, collagen support, and reduced inflammation day and night.
Step 3: The Everything Day Cream, from The Skin Diary
I’m so excited to introduce this – The Everything Day Cream from The Skin Diary has only just launched, and it’s already become a daily essential in my own routine. It’s not a moisturiser, it’s a next-generation powerhouse formula that protects against environmental and UV light damage. It incorporates DNA repair mechanisms and provides free radical combating antioxidants to restore your skin suppleness and glow. All in one simple step.
Every day our skin is under attack from UV rays, pollution and other environmental stressors. These don’t just cause surface damage; they accelerate deeper DNA changes that lead to lines, loss of firmness and dull damaged skin. The Everything Day Cream was created to tackle exactly this, giving you intelligent, 100% mineral- based UV sun protection everyday.
What sets this product apart is the science behind it. It combines advanced DNA repair enzymes to help correct sun damage, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients to calm stress in the skin, and a high-level SPF 50 | PA++++ that protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Despite this powerhouse line-up, it feels beautifully lightweight, sits comfortably under makeup, and is suitable even for sensitive skin. This is skincare that goes beyond hydration. It’s about age-proofing your skin, keeping it strong, resilient and intact, less prone to UV induced damage and disease. It’s not just for appearance for today, it’s for protection everyday, for years to come.

Step 5: Night Repair Therapy
Finally, we have the bed-fellow (quite literally) to the Everything Day Cream; Night Repair Therapy from The Skin Diary, the star of my recent blog. The skin’s natural repair processes peak at night, making it the ideal moment to deliver deep-acting actives. Night Repair Therapy, recommended by myself has become a cornerstone of my philosophy of slow-ageing.
With its mousse-like texture and restorative formula, it strengthens the skin barrier, calms inflammation, promotes dermal repair and boosts hydration, all without irritation. It’s a product I trust not only for daily use but also to support recovery following aesthetic procedures. Night Repair Therapy can be applied following an evening cleanse and the use of
the RE|PAIR treatment mentioned earlier.
So there you have it. My ultimate skincare regime. It’s about intelligent care, working smarter not harder, protecting by day, repairing by night, and strengthening consistently over time. That’s what this synergistic, smart routine delivers.
All of these products are available for purchase on my website and when the R&A Clinic opens shortly in South Kensington, this philosophy of quality, integrity and evidence-based care will underpin everything we do.
So what are you waiting for? The days are drawing in, let’s nurture ourselves.
