When you use nutrient-dense skin food, your skin is going to thank you with a noticeable radiant glow. Starting out it might feel different. And that is OKAY. Your skin might need time to adjust.

Give it Time. Oils, balms and butters are going to feel different because they ARE different from water based creams and moisturizers. They contain lots of fatty acids and rich nutrients that condition and moisturize skin. If it feels a little heavy, a little “greasy” at first, typically that is because either your skin needs time and consistent use to adjust to the change, OR you need to create a usage routine that is suited for you. That will take you some time to tweak and figure out, and with our help before long your won’t feel greasy at all. If you are really serious about it, the key is to commit to consistent use for 2-3 weeks at minimum. If you are ready to do that, then our further tips will be helpful.

Understand How They Work. If you want a matte /dry finish to your face, then our products probably won’t work for you, especially in the beginning of the transition. Simply because they contain properties that plump and feed your skin cells, balance sebum production and nourish your skin in a way that is going to give it a natural, glowing appearance (With time your skin will adjust to a more balanced look – it might even look matte 1 hour after application).

Learn What Works Uniquely For You. While our products are perfectly suited for all skin types, the results will vary person to person because each one of us is unique and some of us need more, others less, some need both butter and oil while others need just one. It may take time to understand what works for you. Take your time.

Work in LAYERS. Start by applying a small amount of product in a thin layer and gently work it into your skin till it is absorbed (for best results wash/wet face, pat dry and apply OR use skin mist or a serum prior to application). Follow that with another thin layer of product, and maybe another if/when needed.

Re-apply Product as Needed. You can re-apply product through the day as needed. Typically my skin absorbs the product within 4-5 hours and I love to wash my hands and give it a boost around lunch time.

Lock In More Moisture. For an extra boost of hydration, apply oils/butters over a water based moisturizer/mist/serum OR right after the shower/washing your face (and gently pat drying.

Combine with other toxin free products to enhance your skin care routine. Depending on how my skin is doing I may use a serum or moisturizing cream first and then follow with the oil and balm. 

Trying Wearing Your Skin BARE. The thought may sound scary. While our products are 100% compatible with make up, (just apply under make up as usual), we want to encourage you to try going bare skinned for a few weeks after you start using our oils, butters and balms. This will give you the opportunity to watch your skin change and adjust and truly see the impact of the products. You might actually realize you like to wear your skin bare as your skin tone evens out and you embrace the glow it comes with. Let your tiny imperfections come through; they are part of what makes you natural and beautiful!
