Avoid combining skin care brands
When switching skincare brands, it is important not to combine our products with other brands. Our skincare is made of natural, plant-based ingredients and does not work with products containing mineral oil as the latter removes the skin's own functions and locks the skin in. It is also unknown how products from different brands react with each other. We therefore always recommend switching your entire skincare routine to a single skincare brand for the best possible results.
Combining natural skincare with conventional make-up? Then use our cleanser PRE-CLEANSING OIL which removes mineral oil and silicones from the skin before applying your skin care products.
Switching from conventional skin care to natural?
If you've been using conventional skin care in the past, getting your skin used to mineral oil and silicones, there can sometimes be a reaction when you start using plant-based products that boost your skin with lots of nutrients. This can happen because you are switching ingredients and breaking your skin's habitual pattern. A skin reaction does not necessarily mean that you cannot tolerate the products or that they do not give you the desired results.
The skin needs to be cleansed of mineral oils and silicones before it can properly absorb the nutrients in our products and give proper results. The duration of this cleansing process is individual. During the transition period, you can use our products to calm the skin's reactions, see suggestions below.
Red dots
Counteract this by using COLD PRESSED JOJOBA OIL.
Dryness
You can counteract this by moisturising your skin with PAPAYA PEELING and FACE MASK MOIST. Also, make sure your daily skin care routine includes products that are highly moisturising.
Pimples, spots or blackheads
Make a cleansing treatment with AHA & JOJOBA PEELING and FACE MASK CLEARING. Also use products from our Clearing range daily.
Salon treatment
A facial treatment from a skincare therapist is an excellent investment. After a thorough analyzis of your skin, your skincare therapist will show you which products are suitable for you to use at home. We recommend getting a facial every 4 to 6 weeks to give your skin the very best treatment: a stimulating and deep cleansing facial massage.
At home
The most important part of your skin care is what you do every day. Use cleanser, toner, day cream and eye cream every day. If you feel that your skin needs more nourishment, we recommend supplementing with serum, oil and balm. Follow our instructions below to get the best results from your skin care products.
DAILY SKIN CARE ROUTINE
EVERY DAY
- Start by washing your hands.
- Clean your face with a cleansing product adapted to your skin type.
- Rinse and dry your face.
- Spray your face with Freshener.
- Apply eye cream, possibly serum and/or oil and day cream and/or balm.
- If you wear makeup, in this step, apply our skin-nourishing makeup in your favourite shades.
AT NIGHT
- Cleanse the skin (according to steps 1–4 above).
- Apply eye cream, serum and/or oil as well as night cream and/or balm. A few nights per week, you can sleep with our At Home Treatment Clearing instead (see below).
AT HOME TREATMENT: TWICE WEEKLY
- Apply a thin layer of AHA & JOJOBA PEELING and exfoliate for one minute. Let the skin absorb the exfoliator.
- Apply FACE MASK CLEARING on top of the exfoliator and let activate for at least 20 minutes, or overnight. Then rinse off.
