Mille Fleurs Clinic

In your 20s and 30s, your skin begins to shift—sometimes subtly, sometimes seemingly overnight. From hormonal changes to heat, humidity, and UV exposure unique to our tropical climate here in Trinidad & Tobago, your skin is navigating a lot more than just the basics.

Whether you’re dealing with occasional breakouts, dryness, or noticing your first fine lines, this is the time to set the foundation for skin that ages gracefully and gorgeously. The good news? With just a few essential steps (and the right guidance), you can future-proof your glow.


Know Your Skin First


At Mille Fleurs Clinic, we believe no two skins are the same—especially in a climate like ours. That’s why your anti-aging journey should begin with a professional skin consultation. We use advanced skin analysis tools and personalized evaluations to identify your skin type, condition, and the best products for you.

Many clients come to us using decent products—but they’re not seeing results because the formulas don’t suit their skin or they contain hidden irritants. Our team helps you skip the trial-and-error by curating routines with cosmeceutical-grade skincare, including trusted lines like Nelly DeVuyst and Klapp Cosmetics.


The 4-Step Skin Ritual for Your 20s & 30s


This isn’t about overloading your routine. It’s about smart, simple steps that work, especially in our Caribbean environment.


Step 1: Cleanse + Tone

Start with a gentle, skin-type-specific cleanser and a pH-balancing toner morning and night. The goal? To remove excess oil, sweat, SPF, and pollution—especially after long days in Port of Spain traffic or a beach lime in Maracas.

Try:

🧴 Klapp Clean & Active Cleansing Gel

💧 Nelly DeVuyst pH Toner BioAcne


Step 2: Exfoliate Weekly

Exfoliation is your shortcut to glow—but skip the harsh scrubs. Go for enzymatic or AHA-based peels that renew your skin without causing irritation or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (common in melanated skin).

Try:

Nelly DeVuyst 3-Minute Gommage – a client fave for instant brightness.


Step 3: Treat + Hydrate

Your moisturizer should do more than hydrate. In your 20s and 30s, go for multi-tasking formulas with ingredients like Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, and natural lipid complexes to treat, protect, and plump your skin.

Try:

🧴 Klapp Immun Sun Cream SPF 30 (with Vitamin C)

🌿 Nelly DeVuyst BioTense Cream for hydration + anti-aging in one.


Step 4: Sunscreen is Non-Negotiable

Even on cloudy days or “just running out real quick,” UV exposure is aging your skin. Protect it daily with a mineral-based SPF, especially before heading to the Savannah, Las Cuevas, or anywhere the sun kisses your face.

Try:

☀️ Nelly DeVuyst SPF 30 Mineral Tinted Sunscreen


Bonus: Beauty from the Inside Out

Your skin reflects your lifestyle. To reduce signs of premature aging, remember:

  • Hydrate like you’re on a coconut water run. Aim for 2–3 litres daily.
  • Cut back on sugar and processed foods (doubles on Fridays count, but maybe skip the second one).
  • Prioritize sleep, stress relief, and movement—your skin will thank you.
  • Book a monthly facial or peel for deeper rejuvenation.
