1 The purpose of a cleanser is to remove dirt,

makeup, and other impurities from your skin.

You want to look for a pH-balanced cleanser,

meaning one that is on the acidic side, which is

the natural pH of your skin.

Ingredients to look for in your cleanser are aloe

vera, oils like coconut, and antibacterial herbs

like neem.

If you’re using our line, drier complexions favor

the creamier Aloe Herb Cleanser, while acne

prone complexions are better suited for the

Citrus Mint.

In general, cleansing is done twice a day, in the

morning and at night before bed.

2Toners used to serve the purpose of rebalancing the skin’s

pH after cleaning the face with an alkaline cleanser.

Since we are using pH-balanced cleansers, our toners

serve more to refine pores, soften skin, and balance oil

production, depending on the skin type.

For dry complexions, we recommend our Neroli Toning

Mist, which has aloe vera juice infused with neroli

essential oil, which helps to soften skin while also

invigorating your sense with a calming aromatherapy.

Or substitute rose water from your local health food store.

For oily complexions, we recommend our Rosemary

Toning Mist, made simply of rosemary distillate.

Rosemary is naturally antibacterial and helps to balance

your skin’s oil production. In place of this toner you can

rinse your face with herbal tea.

Did you know there’s a difference

between dry skin and dehydrated skin?

In skin care, hydrating means

increasing the amount of water in your

skin cells, which results in a healthy,

smooth and plump complexion. When

your skin is properly hydrated, it keeps

the appearance of fine lines and

wrinkles at bay. In addition to

appearing younger, your skin cells

maintain their overall cellular functions

when hydrated.

(Moisturization serves to prevent this

water from evaporating out of our skin.)

Hydrating ingredients are called

humectants, which means they bind

water to your skin. While that

word might sound intimidating, these

ingredients are anything but. Our

favorite humectant is aloe, which is

why it’s the first ingredient in both

of our serums.

C H O O S E Y O U R H Y D R A T O R :

· Anti-Aging Serum —

This aloe-based serum is targeted to

minimize fine lines and wrinkles and

increase skin plumpness. Hyaluronic acid

(also a humectant) helps your skin hold

water, keeping it plump and minimizing

wrinkles. Anti-aging herbs like plantain

nourish the skin, and cucumber and rose

distillate make this serum incredibly

soothing. Even if your skin isn’t mature,

this serum is helpful for controlling acne,

moisturizing sensitive skin, and

preventing wrinkles.

· Honey —

A natural humectant, you can mix honey

in your DIY skin care formulations to

help bind water to your skin and keep

it hydrated.

· Repair Serum —

If you’re looking to fade scars and even

out your skin tone, hydrate with our

Repair Serum. With an aloe vera base

and natural ingredients like licorice root

and stem cells from oranges, it’s

designed to naturally lighten skin

discoloration while giving your skin the

hydration it needs.

· Aloe Vera —

There’s a reason we make this the first

ingredient in both of our serums! Aloe is

hydrating, in addition to helping to heal

past skin damage and acne. Essentially,

it’s great for most all skin types and

pretty readily available.

Some people need to moisturize

more than others. If your skin is dry,

moisturizing is a big part of your skin

care routine. If your skin is oily,

you may favor serums and use

moisturizer as needed.

We’re going to highlight our 4 facial

oils to help you choose which one is

right for you, while also highlighting

the ingredients inside them so you can

substitute simple oils into your routine

if you prefer.

If your skin is dry, you want to prevent

or reduce fine lines and wrinkles,

4 If your skin is prone to acne breakouts or

excessive oil production:

If you thought oils weren’t for oily skin.

this product will make you rethink

everything! Grapeseed oil is non-pore

clogging, plus neem and white willow

bark naturally keep acne in check.

Clementine and sandalwood oils give

the oil a refreshing scent, just one more

reason to slather it on!

If you are sensitive to scent or if you want

anti-aging benefits with a lighter formula.

· Unscented Facial Oil —

This herb-infused oil is perfect for those

who want to reduce the appearance of

fine lines and wrinkles without irritating

sensitive skin. The light yet fully

grapeseed oil-based formula penetrates

deep into your pores, bringing with it

powerful, nourishing antioxidants from

seed oils like pomegranate, cranberry,

and rosehip as well as a simple, gentle

herb infusion.

Suitable oils for this skin type:

grapeseed, avocado, fractionated

coconut oil.

The final piece to your skin care routine

is using masks as needed, exfoliating

regularly, applying an eye cream

if desired, and wearing natural sun

protection every day.
