Many people have similar questions, and today, we’re going to clarify these common skincare queries.

Understanding the rules for using natural skincare products is essential and often tailored to fit your unique skin type. Before we dive deeper, let’s assess whether you know which natural skin care products are best suited for your specific skin needs.

In this comprehensive skincare user’s guide, we will provide you with detailed instructions on how to effectively use the most sought-after natural skin care products, including cleansing balms, cleansers, scrubs, toners, face masks, serums, facial oils, moisturizers, eye creams, night balms, and SPF.

Effective Techniques for Using a Natural Cleansing Balm

What benefits do cleansing balms provide?

Utilizing a cleansing balm can significantly enhance your makeup removal process, effectively degrease your skin, and provide moisture. Cleansing balms have gained immense popularity in the realm of natural skincare due to their dual-action capability to cleanse and hydrate simultaneously.

Our Blood Orange Cleansing Balm serves as a powerful multi-functional product (makeup remover, cleanser, moisturizer) and acts as a vital first step in any natural skincare routine. Even if you’re not wearing makeup, this balm’s antibacterial coconut oil and degreasing blood orange essential oil work wonders in removing dirt and oil from dry skin, effectively preparing it for the subsequent water-based cleansing step.

WHEN:

How Often: Once daily (or as needed to remove makeup)
AM or PM: As preferred

HOW:

To use, scoop a half-dollar amount of cleansing balm into your dry hands using clean fingers. Rub the balm between your fingers to emulsify it; the heat and friction will transform the balm into a creamy oil. Gently massage the formula in circular motions onto your makeup and dry skin, including the sensitive eye and lip areas. Remove the balm by wiping it off with a clean towel soaked in warm water, rinsing the towel as needed. This process will effectively lift away all traces of makeup and impurities.

Choosing the Right Natural Facial Cleanser for Radiant Skin

What role do facial cleansers play?

As the fundamental first step in a natural skincare routine, the primary purpose of a facial cleanser is to effectively lift away and wash off dirt, oil, makeup, and environmental pollutants from your face. Depending on the formulation of the natural cleanser you select, it can also provide soothing, brightening, detoxifying, and hydrating benefits for your skin.

PRO-TIP: Incorporating a facial brush or sponge with your cleanser can enhance the exfoliation process by loosening and removing dead skin cells, resulting in a healthier, more youthful complexion. This step is essential, so never skip it! Just remember to choose a cleanser that is appropriate for your unique skin type.

WHEN:

How Often: 1-2 times daily
AM or PM: As preferred

HOW:
Dispense a half-dollar-sized amount of cleanser onto a facial brush, sponge, or your hands. Apply it to your wet face and neck, then gently massage in circular motions for a minimum of 30 seconds to ensure thorough cleansing. Rinse well with warm water to remove any residue.

WITH:
Konjac Sponge. While clean fingertips can work, they are less effective at removing dead skin cells or dislodging deeply embedded debris from your pores.

Enhancing Your Glow with a Natural Facial Scrub

What are the benefits of facial scrubs?

Facial scrubs are vital for effectively removing layers of dead, dry, dull, or rough skin. The exfoliation process can be incredibly satisfying during your natural skincare routine. Smoothing away dry patches, brightening your complexion, and clearing out clogged pores with a facial scrub can feel like an indulgent spa treatment! Our Acai Pulp Facial Scrub utilizes crushed acai pulp, super fruits, and grape seeds to buff and refine your skin, resulting in a brighter and more supple appearance.

WHEN:

How Often: 1-3 times per weekAM or PM: As preferred

HOW:

Squeeze a half-dollar-sized amount of the scrub into your hands and gently massage it into your face and neck using circular motions for a minimum of 1 minute. You can rinse immediately with warm water or leave it on for an additional 15 minutes as a facial mask for deeper treatment.

Rejuvenate Your Complexion with a Natural Face Toner

What are the functions of face toners?

Face toners, particularly those formulated without synthetic chemicals, work wonders in achieving deeply hydrated and supple skin. They are capable of balancing the skin’s pH, providing intense hydration, and removing any remaining dead skin cells after exfoliation, making toners essential for any skincare routine.

Just finished exfoliating? Don’t underestimate the efficacy of your facial toner. Swiping a saturated cotton pad over freshly exfoliated skin can pick up any loosened skin cells, excess debris, and remnants of your facial scrub. Your skin will genuinely appreciate the soothing herbs and hydrosols infused in your natural face toner as they gently refresh and nourish the newly exposed layers.

WHEN:

How Often: 1-2 times daily
AM or PM: As preferred

HOW:

After cleansing or exfoliating, dispense toner onto a cotton pad and gently swipe it across your face and neck to ensure even coverage.

WITH:

Cotton pad

Boost Hydration with an Effective Natural Serum

<em>What advantages do serums offer?</em>

Incorporating a serum into your skincare regimen might seem daunting, especially if you’re uncertain about your skin type. However, serums are layer-able and can be customized to meet your specific skin needs, providing you with visibly supple and exponentially hydrated skin. Our concentrated serum formulas feature a smaller molecular size that allows for deeper penetration into cleansed pores, ensuring effective absorption.

Each carefully crafted serum is tailored to address a particular skin type and is formulated with natural ingredients aimed at hydrating and moisturizing while delivering high-potency nutrients deep into the skin.

WHEN:

How Often: 2 times daily (AM + PM)
AM or PM: Based on the serum formula; always follow the instructions provided on the packaging

HOW:

After cleansing, toning, and masking, dispense a pea-sized amount of serum onto your fingertips. Gently massage it into your cleansed skin, being careful not to pull or tug at the skin. Allow 90 seconds for the serum to absorb before layering with a facial oil or moisturizer.

Indulge in a Natural Face Mask Experience

What benefits do face masks provide?

Face masks are deserving of our affection (and sometimes our obsession) because they can be tailored to address every skin type, providing an at-home spa experience for your face. Our aloe and plant cellulose-based hydrogel masks, along with our Korean sheet masks made from bamboo fibers, contain targeted natural ingredients that cater to various skin concerns. They can effectively calm acne-prone skin, soothe sun-damaged areas, stimulate collagen production, hydrate dry skin, reduce puffiness around the eyes, and combat fine lines and wrinkles.

WHEN:

How Often: Daily
AM or PM: As preferred

HOW:

Carefully remove the mask from its packaging, holding it by the outer edges. Lean back slightly and carefully drape the mask over your face, ensuring proper alignment with the eye, nose, and mouth openings.

Allow the mask to remain on for 15-20 minutes, or longer if desired. As the mask absorbs into your skin, it may shrink slightly, indicating that the nutrients and moisture are being delivered. After use, simply discard the mask and refrain from rinsing your skin. With clean fingertips, apply any excess serum from the mask tray to your face, neck, and décolleté using a gentle massaging motion.

Revitalize Your Eyes with a Natural Eye Cream

What are the functions of eye creams?

Given the delicate nature of the skin surrounding our eyes, it’s essential to select a gentle, moisturizing base with a targeted ingredient profile. You can choose from a range of potent natural eye creams: our Coffee Bean formula brightens and reduces puffiness; the Super Fruit formula nourishes and protects; and the Retinol PM formula visibly firms while minimizing fine lines and wrinkles. Regardless of your skin type, incorporating an eye cream into your routine will enhance the overall vitality of your eye area.

WHEN:

How Often: 1-3 times daily
AM or PM: Based on the eye cream formula; always adhere to the instructions noted on the packaging

HOW:

Using your ring fingers, gently dab the eye cream onto the orbital area until fully absorbed. Avoid pulling or tugging on the delicate skin surrounding your eyes.

Achieve Optimal Hydration with a Natural Moisturizer

What key benefits do moisturizers provide?

Every skin type requires moisture (oil) just as much as it needs hydration (water)—a quality natural moisturizer will deliver both. Moisturizers play an essential role in maintaining a healthy lipid barrier, protecting your skin from environmental damage that can lead to dryness and premature aging. An effective emollient moisturizer will also lock in the nutrients and hydration imparted by the previous products in your skincare routine.

WHEN:

How Often: 1-2 times daily, depending on your skin type
AM or PM: Based on the moisturizer formula; always follow the instructions on the packaging

HOW:

After applying your cleanser and serum, dispense a quarter-sized amount of moisturizer onto your face and neck. Gently massage and press it into your skin, taking care not to pull or tug.

Apply with: Clean fingertips

Nourish and Protect Your Skin with a Natural Facial Oil

What benefits do facial oils offer?

Facial oils are among the most nourishing and beneficial elements in a comprehensive skincare routine. However, the use of facial oils is frequently misunderstood—particularly by those with oily skin who worry about excessive oil and breakouts. An effective facial oil should be rich in nutrient-dense natural and organic oils while being free from unnecessary fillers.

Our Argan Oil has a smaller molecular structure, allowing for superior absorption into the skin. Formulated with only pure, organic argan oil, it is naturally abundant in vitamin E, phenols, carotenes, squalane, and essential fatty acids. This particular oil is exceptional for deep moisture retention and nutrient delivery, regarded as a ‘dry oil’ that won’t leave your skin feeling greasy.

WHEN:

How Often: Daily
AM or PM: Argan oil can be utilized both AM and PM

HOW:

Gently massage the oil into your skin using soft, circular motions with your fingertips.

WITH:

Clean fingertips

Rejuvenate Your Skin Overnight with a Natural Night Balm

What purpose do night balms serve?

Night balms are specifically crafted to replenish and nourish your skin while you sleep. Our anti-aging Retinol Restorative Overnight Balm harnesses the power of retinol and avocado butter to enhance skin suppleness and reduce the appearance of dry, damaged layers. The sustained release of active ingredients and potent vitamins into your skin throughout the night allows for ample absorption, delivering deep moisturization and hydration for thirsty skin. Using a natural facial balm is straightforward: just apply it and then enjoy a restful night’s sleep!

WHEN:

How Often: Can be used daily, just remember to apply SPF the following morning!
AM or PM: PM

HOW:

Warm a quarter-sized amount of the balm in your hands before applying a thin layer to your face, ensuring not to apply it too close to your eyes. The next morning, follow up with a broad-spectrum SPF for protection.

PRO TIP: If you’re concerned about staining your pillowcases with an overnight balm, simply lay a small towel down to protect your bedding!

Shield Your Skin Daily with Natural Sunscreen/ SPF

What role does SPF play in skincare?

You may be diligent about applying SPF for outdoor activities, but do you remember to use it every day? SPF is an essential component of a comprehensive skincare routine and should be incorporated by everyone—regardless of age or skin type.

Our mineral-based sunscreens are designed to block harmful free radicals and UV radiation, which are the leading contributors to premature skin aging. Regular use of SPF can significantly lower the risk of painful sunburn, visible signs of aging, and even skin cancer. Therefore, it’s crucial to never skimp on your sunscreen
