You can't care for what you don't know. Take a moment to find out your skin type and what routine we recommend. There are four skin types: dry, oily, combination, and normal.
Have you ever been told that you have sensitive skin? We're here to tell you that you can have dry skin and sensitive skin, just as you can have acne and sensitive skin. All of our products are hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, so all of the routines we recommend are ideal for sensitive skin.
Does your skin feel rough, dull, and hard? The best routine for dry skin typically includes products that help keep it hydrated. Dry skin's protective barrier is more compromised as it appears fragmented, allowing moisture to escape through the cracks and irritants to more easily penetrate.
Wash your face with Prebiotic Wash from Blooms and Blends for Babies. It strengthens the skin's protective barrier and contains agave inulin, an important prebiotic that nourishes the skin's probiotics. Your goal when cleansing your face should be to keep your skin moisturized and protect it from UV rays and free radicals that oxidize the skin.
Next, Bi-Phase Makeup Remover restores the protective barrier thanks to its collagen peptide content for hydration. It also contains rosehip, which helps restore natural moisture and protects against pollutants.
Balancing Snail Serum regenerates and stimulates collagen production in your skin. It also contains vitamin C, which acts as an antioxidant, protecting the skin from sun damage and free radicals that cause premature aging.
As a day cream for your face and eye area, we recommend Pomegranate Pure Youth . It contains antioxidants that prevent premature aging. It also contains tamarind seed extract and reishi (an adaptogen with rejuvenating and nourishing properties). Follow with your favorite SPF. Keeping your skin hydrated is very important to maintain elasticity and prevent compromising our protective barrier.
If you suffer from dry skin, we suggest carrying Nurturing Balm in your bag all day to keep your lips hydrated. Available in mint or orange scent.
For nighttime, you would use the same routine, but replace Pomegranate Pure Youth with Bakuchiol Midnight Recovery . It contains oils that hydrate the skin at different levels to achieve complete moisture in all layers. Bakuchiol extract evens out skin texture, diminishes fine lines, marks, and sun spots. The oils in this nighttime treatment mimic the natural lipids in your skin and repair your skin's protective barrier. Start by using it three times a week for the first two weeks, then daily.
Additional recommendations: Never over-exfoliate your skin. It can be tempting when you see a lot of roughness. But remember that what our dry skin needs most is hydration. If you must exfoliate your skin, remember to use Balancing Snail Serum , which contains gentle exfoliants like bromelain and papain (papaya and pineapple enzyme extracts).
Oily skin typically has larger than usual sebaceous glands and overproduces sebum. This is often genetic , so when you have oily skin, your priority should always be to reduce sebum production by moisturizing lightly and properly. Your routine should include ingredients that help control excess sebum production.
For oily skin: Excess sebum + dead skin buildup = acne breakouts and blackheads (comedones). Wash your face twice a day with Marigold Face Cleanser , a sulfate-free bar soap that purifies your skin without drying it out. It contains antibacterial ingredients like calendula and melaleuca (Tea Tree) to fight blackheads, and chamomile to soothe irritations. TIP: Don't overwash your face; this can cause unnecessary sebum production.
Afterward, a good alcohol-free toner will help retain moisture, balance your skin's pH, and purify. Our Calming Toner reduces inflammation and contains snail secretion , which helps progressively improve the appearance of damaged skin and prevents acne scarring.
Balancing Snail Serum will help reduce the appearance of pores, brighten, and hydrate your skin without leaving it greasy. Its star ingredient is orange blossom hydrolate, which has sebum-regulating properties. It also contains snail slime and kojic acid, which act as exfoliating and regenerating ingredients. It fades dark spots and evens out your skin tone.
Rose Hydro Protect works as your day cream, sunscreen, and foundation. With a matte effect and SPF 30, it corrects, moisturizes, and protects. Formulated with zinc oxide , it's perfect for oily skin due to its matte effect. It's also antibacterial and perfect for acne-prone skin.
TIP: Use Aloe Depuff all over your face once a week as a mask to hydrate, soothe irritations, and heal acne breakouts. No need to rinse; use it after Balancing Snail Serum and you'll love the results.
COMBINATION OR NORMAL SKIN
A combination skin routine contains ingredients that address various skin concerns. Essentially, having combination skin means you're oily in some areas and dry in others. You don't necessarily need to use two different routines; just find one that helps combat both issues. This routine is easy to use since it's used day and night.
Use a dermo-cleanser like Prebiotic Wash . If you have acne breakouts or your skin feels a little oily, you can use Marigold Face Cleanser .
Opt for a pH-balancing toner like Calming Toner . It refreshes and keeps your skin free of dryness.
Balancing Snail Serum will help balance sebum production in the T-zone. If you suffer from acne breakouts, the kojic acid and papaya and pineapple enzymes will help keep your skin irritation-free. Follow with your favorite sunscreen—we love the matte and hydrating effect of Rose Hydro Protect .
