Morning Routine
When you wake from sleep, your skin has produced oil and dead skin cells. Using oil cleansers in the morning can help hydrate the skin for the rest of the day and help combat any free radical damage. Beginning each day with an oil cleanse can help you have a healthy-looking complexion and a clean canvas for your skin to effectively absorb actives, enabling your treatment products to work their best.
Step 1:
Cleanse with Nourishing Cleansing Oil
In the morning, apply a small amount of cleanser to a wet or dry face and neck, gently massage in circular motions, then with a warm wet cloth, wipe the face clean. For best results following with hydrating serum and always SPF.
Store below 30°C.
Caution: For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes. If contact with the eyes does occur, rinse well with clean water. In the unlikely event of skin irritation, please discontinue use and consult your healthcare practitioner. Parental supervision advised. Patch test recommended. Please retain packaging for ingredient reference.
Step 2:
Apply Intensely Hydrating Serum
Topical antioxidants are an absolute must in your daily routine. Intensely Hydrating Serum with Niacinamide (provitamin B3) strengthens the skin's lipid barrier by increasing the production of ceramides that form a protective layer to lock in moisture and lock out environmental stressors. It also acts as a hydrating barrier between makeup, sunscreen, and the skin.
Hyaluronic acid serums like Intensely Hydrating Serum can be applied twice daily. After cleansing and while your skin is still damp. Apply 2–3 drops onto face, neck and top of hands in the morning after cleansing. Always follow with SPF for the daytime.
Store below 30°C.
Caution: For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes. If contact with the eyes does occur, rinse well with clean water. In the unlikely event of skin irritation, please discontinue use and consult your healthcare practitioner. Parental supervision advised. Patch test recommended. Please retain packaging for ingredient reference.
Step 3: Always Apply Sunscreen Daily
The sun emits two types of ultraviolet radiation, ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) with UVB responsible for tanning and burning while UVA reaches deep into your skin causing more silent damage at each level. Since your skin is being exposed to both UVA and UVB rays, sunscreen is an absolute necessity. Make sure you use a broad spectrum sunscreen. In the morning, after cleansing and applying serum, apply sunscreen as the last step in your morning skin care routine, but before you begin applying any makeup.
Night Routine
The nighttime is a crucial period for the skin's natural processes, and tailoring your skincare routine to this rhythm can yield great benefits. Let's delve a bit deeper into the science behind cleansing, hydrating and nourishing your skin at nighttime.
Circadian Rhythm and Skin Regeneration: The circadian rhythm is a natural internal clock that regulates various biological processes over a 24-hour cycle. It's not only tied to sleep-wake patterns but also affects physiological functions, including skin health. During the night, while we sleep, our body's internal repair mechanisms kick into high gear. This includes increased blood flow to the skin and heightened cell turnover, both of which contribute to the skin's regeneration. Skin cell division and turnover tend to peak during the night, promoting the replacement of damaged or aged skin cells with new, healthier ones.
Enhanced Absorption and Permeability: The skin's permeability increases during the night. This is partly due to the body's effort to repair itself while we sleep. The skin's barrier function becomes more flexible, allowing active ingredients in skincare products to penetrate more effectively. This is why applying targeted treatments, like serums and moisturises, during the night can lead to better absorption and efficacy.
Step 1:
Cleanse with Nourishing Cleansing Oil
Remove Makeup and Cleanse: Cleansing is a crucial first step in any skincare routine, especially at night. Throughout the day, the skin accumulates dirt, sweat, makeup, and pollutants that can clog pores and lead to various skin issues. Properly cleansing your skin removes these impurities and prepares it for the absorption of subsequent skincare products. Using the gentle yet effective Nourishing Cleansing Oil helps maintain and nourish the skin's natural balance while ensuring a clean canvas for the next steps.
At night, apply a small amount of cleanser to a wet or dry face and neck, gently massage in circular motions, then with a warm wet cloth, wipe the face clean. For best results follow with hydrating serum and face oil.
Store below 30°C.
Caution: For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes. If contact with the eyes does occur, rinse well with clean water. In the unlikely event of skin irritation, please discontinue use and consult your healthcare practitioner. Parental supervision advised. Patch test recommended. Please retain packaging for ingredient reference.
Step 2:
Apply Intensely Hydrating Serum
Treatments - Serums and Actives: After cleansing, applying targeted treatments becomes even more effective during the night.
Ingredients like retinoic acid, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, panthenol, peptides, and antioxidants can work their magic while the skin is in its repair mode. Retinoic acids, for instance, promote collagen production, help reduce the appearance of fine lines, and improve skin texture. Serums containing vitamins B3 and B5 Vitamin B3 minimises visible signs of ageing, blemishes, and supports the function of the skin's barrier, and vitamin B5 helps to hydrate and nourish. They also can provide antioxidants that combat free radicals accumulated during the day.
Topical antioxidants are an absolute must in your daily routine. Intensely Hydrating Serum with Niacinamide (provitamin B3) strengthens the skin's lipid barrier by increasing the production of ceramides that form a protective layer to lock in moisture and lock out environmental stressors. It also acts as a hydrating barrier between makeup, sunscreen, and the skin.
Intensely Hydrating Serum can be applied at nihgt after cleansing and while your skin is still damp. Apply 2–3 drops onto face, neck and top of hands.
Store below 30°C.
Caution: For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes. If contact with the eyes does occur, rinse well with clean water. In the unlikely event of skin irritation, please discontinue use and consult your healthcare practitioner. Parental supervision advised. Patch test recommended. Please retain packaging for ingredient reference.
Step 3:
Nourish with our Vitamin A Face Oil
MOISTURISE: Applying a night moisturiser is essential to lock in hydration and support the skin's barrier function. Night moisturisers are often formulated with richer textures and ingredients that promote hydration and repair. This step helps prevent transepidermal water loss and keeps the skin plump and nourished throughout the night.
Vitamin A Face Oil will leave your skin feeling softer, firmer, and glowing. It has amazing anti-aging benefits, helping to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Apply 2-3 drops to the face and neck after applying a hydrating serum. For best results, we recommend using Vitamin A Face Oil (which contains a natural alternative to retinol in the form of retinoic acid) at night rather than during the day. Rosehip oil which contains natural retinoic acid has been extensively used to prevent and treat photoaged skin and psoriasis. If you do choose to use Vitamin A Face Oil during the day, always follow with SPF.
Store below 30°C.
Caution: For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes. If contact with the eyes does occur, rinse well with clean water. In the unlikely event of skin irritation, please discontinue use and consult your healthcare practitioner. Parental supervision advised. Patch test recommended. Please retain packaging for ingredient reference.
