Application
Face oils are best used as the last step in your skincare routine. After cleansing your face, apply serum and/or moisturizer followed by 2-3 drops of face oil. Distribute oil onto fingers or palms and apply by gently pressing all over the face to evenly distribute. For more minimalist routines, simply apply 4-5 drops to the face directly after cleansing while the skin is still damp.

The Layering Ritual
General rule of thumb | Apply your skincare from lightest to heaviest — start with water-based products like mists, toners, and serums, and finish with richer, oil-based products like face oils and balms. This helps each layer absorb properly and work more effectively, whether your routine has two steps or ten.

Step 1:
Cleanse
Start with a gentle cleanser to lift away impurities, sunscreen, and daily buildup without disrupting your skin’s barrier. Plant-based surfactants and soothing extracts help leave skin feeling soft, not stripped.
Hydrating mists and toners deliver an immediate dose of moisture from humectants (water-trapping ingredients) while helping to rebalance the skin after cleansing. This step preps your skin to better absorb the next layers.
Complete your ritual with these Hydrating Mists or Toners:
Serums are concentrated with active ingredients like antioxidants, botanical extracts, or peptides to target specific skin concerns like dryness or uneven skin tone. Their lightweight, water-based formulas penetrate quickly for visible results.
Complete your ritual with these Water-based Serums:
Moisturizers blend water-based hydrators and oil-based emollients to deliver lasting hydration and help prevent moisture loss. This essential step supports your skin barrier, leaving it soft, smooth, and balanced.
Face oils and balms are best used as the last step in any skincare routine
1. After cleansing the skin, apply mist, serum and/or moisturizer
2. Once the above products have mostly absorbed, distribute 3-4 drops of face oil onto clean fingertops or palms and gently press into skin
For minimalist skincare routines, apply 4-5 drops of face oil directly to damp skin after cleansing
Step 6:
Shield
Mineral sunscreens create a physical or chemical shield to protect against UV rays, premature aging, and sun damage. Always apply as the final step in your morning routine.
Step 7:
Renew
Incorporate a mask or gentle exfoliant once or twice a week to revitalize the skin. Ingredients like clays, fruit enzymes, or finely milled grains help clear congestion, brighten dullness, and boost overall glow.
Complete your ritual with these Weekly Masks or Scrubs:
Face oils are essential for locking in moisture and delivering rich nourishment to the skin. Contrary to common concerns, even those with oily or combination skin can benefit from a well-chosen face oil. With the right formula, oils help balance natural sebum production, which can actually lead to fewer breakouts and a healthier complexion
Will a face oil make my skin more oily?
Not at all! A well-formulated face oil won’t increase skin’s oiliness; instead, it can help balance natural oil production by supporting and harmonizing with your skin’s sebum. Our face oils are designed to absorb quickly, delivering essential nutrients and leaving your skin soft and nourished—without any greasy residue. Embrace the glow without the shine

I use oils, so why does my face feel dry?
Face oils and balms are fantastic for sealing in moisture, but they work best when your skin is already hydrated. To give your skin the hydration it needs, start with a water-based mist, then follow with a serum or moisturizer rich in humectants. This combination provides lasting hydration, while the oil helps lock it all in.
This is my first time trying a face oil and I'm glad I took the plunge! I apply a few drops after my moisturizer and love the way my skin feels after. I have combination skin and it doesn't make my t-zone too oily through the day. I also love how soft my skin feels the next morning when I wake up!
