Cleanse I know this will probably sound odd, but we don't recommend cleansing with a traditional cleanser in the morning, especially if you are break out prone. Reason being is that our skin needs to be balanced to fight off break outs, and over cleansing can disrupt the acid mantle and skin microbiome. So if you are willing (maybe give it a shot for 1 week?), only use a PH balanced, alcohol-free toner with a cotton pad to cleanse in the morning. We recommend using our Neroli Clarifying Toner. |
|
Mist Follow by misting our Neroli Clarifying Toner. We formulated it with vitamin C and B3 to helps reduce hyper-pigmentation, a hydrosol blend to combat inflammation and break outs, and willow bark to keep pores clear. The green tea in this toner also offers protection against free radicals. |
|
Moisturize Apply our Herbal Balancing Serum as your day oil. This oil serum will help balance sebum production and fight bad bacteria that cause acne, while keep your skin moisturized. |
EVENINGS
|

1-2X PER WEEK
| For a weekly deep exfoliating treatment (really helpful for reducing break outs), use our Hibiscus Exfoliating Mud 1-2x per week. It is very gentle to the skin, while offering antibacterial properties and a deep exfoliating experience. Weekly exfoliation is extremely helpful at reducing the occurrence of clogged pores and evening out the complexion. |
| 1x per week, do a facial steam using our Herbal Detoxifying Steam followed by a clay mask (try our Activated Purifying Mask) mixed with either chilled green tea, chamomile tea, hydrosols or our Neroli Toner. Doing a steam followed with a clay mask will help to gently clear out those hard to clear black heads. |
