The order of a good routine
Skincare works best in a simple sequence. Follow it loosely, and use only the steps your skin actually needs.
1CleanseStart clean. A gentle cleanser lifts the day without stripping the skin, so everything after it absorbs better.
2TreatYour active step. A facial oil, serum or weekly mask targets your main concern while skin is still slightly damp.
3MoisturiseSeal it in. A moisturiser locks in water and the actives beneath it, and keeps the barrier calm and comfortable.
4ProtectMornings only. Finish with a broad-spectrum SPF; it is the single most effective anti-ageing step there is.
The rules we build every routine on
We reach for the mildest thing that works. Strong is not the same as effective, and a calm barrier does most of the work.
Introduce a single active and give it a couple of weeks before adding another, so you always know what is helping.
No routine is complete without daily sun protection. It guards both your skin and the results of everything else.
With any new active, dab a little on the inner arm and wait a day. Natural does not always mean no reaction.
Routine questions, answered
How many products do I actually need?
Fewer than you think. A cleanser, a moisturiser and a daily SPF is a complete routine. Add a treatment oil or a weekly mask only for a specific concern.
Does the order really matter?
A little. As a rule, thinnest to thickest: cleanse, treat while skin is damp, then moisturise to seal, and SPF last in the morning.
How long before I see a difference?
Hydration and comfort are immediate. Tone and texture take four to eight weeks of consistent use. Give any new step a fair, patient trial.
Can I use a facial oil if my skin is oily?
Yes. A well-chosen, lightweight oil can actually help balance oil production. Start with a few drops at night and see how your skin responds.
What if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
Our routines lean on gentle botanicals, but always check with your doctor before starting anything new, and let us know so we can suggest suitable options.
