Bryan Johnson's Skincare Protocol: AM & PM Routine
Bryan Johnson's complete skincare protocol for reversing skin aging. When he started Blueprint, his skin was in the 98th percentile for damage with a skin age of 64. Now his skin age has improved to 36. Disclaimer: This guide is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Consult with a dermatologist before starting any new skincare routine.
Protocol Steps
1
Get Morning Sunlight (Before 10 AM)
15-30 mins
Get sunlight early in the mornings and later in the afternoons. Avoid direct sun exposure when the UV index is high (10 AM to 4 PM). Early morning sun supports vitamin D production and circadian rhythm without excessive UV damage.
2
Morning Face Wash
2 mins
Wash your face with a gentle, hydrating cleanser. Bryan uses Blueprint face wash in the morning and a gentle cleanser in the evening. Avoid harsh cleansers that strip natural oils.

3
Vitamin C Serum (AM)
1 min
Apply vitamin C serum after cleansing. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that protects against UV damage, brightens skin, and supports collagen production.
4
Moisturizer (AM & PM)
1 min
Apply moisturizer to lock in hydration and protect the skin barrier. Use a fragrance-free, sensitive-skin formula. Apply morning and evening.
5
Mineral Sunscreen (AM, if going outdoors)
1 min
Apply mineral (zinc oxide) sunscreen SPF 46+ when going outdoors during high UV times. Mineral sunscreen sits on top of skin and reflects UV rays rather than being absorbed. Reapply every 2 hours if in direct sun.
6
Body Exfoliation (2-3x per week)
5 mins
Exfoliate the body 2-3 times per week using a Japanese exfoliating washcloth or African net sponge. This removes dead skin cells and promotes cell turnover.
7
Retinol Serum (PM Only)
1 min
Apply retinol serum in the evening only (retinol increases sun sensitivity). Retinol promotes cell turnover, reduces fine lines, and improves skin texture. Start slowly and build tolerance.
8
OneSkin OS-01 Peptide (AM & PM)
2 mins
Apply OneSkin's OS-01 peptide to face and body. OS-01 is a proprietary peptide shown in studies to reduce biological skin age by targeting senescent cells.
9
Evening Routine (8:00 PM)
5 mins
Evening skincare routine before bed:
1. Wash face with gentle cleanser
2. Apply retinol serum
3. Apply moisturizer
4. Apply hair and skin serums
Keep it simple and consistent.
