The method to our madness

Thank you for choosing Earnest Skincare !

Some would say that you are treating yourself but really you just simply owe it to yourself. And perhaps you are new to the natural, organic, oils and butters game of skin care or you just aren't too sure ?

We thought we would help you know a little more about why it's so good. And here are some methods we use to maximise the effects of our products to enhance your skin. Knowledge is power so they.

Here is to spa days, every day!

ACCLIMATIZE

It is important to mention that when starting any new skin care routine your skin needs to undergo a period of acclimation. Sometimes with a new natural product the skin is working to balance itself after years of harsh and chemically-laden product usage. And using something natural will push out all the toxins and impurities to the surface. So those with highly-congested skin may experience the appearance of pimples after using the products. If this happens to you there are two ways of dealing with this, one would be to sit it out, this may take from a few days to several but if after a month your skin is not improved and you have good health, diet and hydration, it just may not be compatible with your skin. The second would be to slowly introduce the new products into your routine, for example, use every two days until you slowly up the usage, this is the gentle way of introducing a new product into your skin routine. If you would like to know more or have any questions please contact us and we can do our best to help!

OILS IN SKIN CARE?

A lot of people are terrified of putting oil on their skin especially their face but there is nothing to be scared of. Oil does not cause breakouts or blackheads or blemishes they are a result of a number of different causes, hormones, bacteria, dead skin cells and diet being some of the factors. Oils naturally occur in your skin and being your largest organ, it needs oil to moisturise, heal and protect it so that it can function properly and at its best. The oils Earnest Skincare products contain will work alongside these oils to benefit and support your skin so that it can be its best. Be sure to look at the details of ingredients and the part they play in our products to help you understand why they were chosen.

SUNRISE OR SUNSET MINI FACIAL

This is a great daily, every two days or weekly routine it is really up to the amount of time you have, some weeks and days seem so short that finding time to sit down can be a challenge. Just remember to take some time for yourself within the madness. This is a great time to perhaps consider the things you have to get done for the day or perhaps reflect on the things you have accomplished. Just try and relax and know you are being nice to yourself

STEP ONE

CLEANSE - Do this whilst showering or at your sink. Using either our Botanical Milk (dampen and lightly lather face and rinse) OR our Micellar Water (cotton swab and gently wipe).

This will remove residue and makeup from the skin prepping it for the next step.

STEP TWO

SOFTEN PORES - Getting a warm steamy face cloth or muslin as hot as you can handle place over your face using light even pressure with your palms

STEP THREE

ACTIVATE & DEEP CLEANSE - Whilst your face is still damp and warm. Apply one of our Face Oils (Restore & Rejuvenate or Balance & Protect), choosing the one that has the active botanicals best for your skin, apply liberally massaging in gentle upward strokes . Once again with a warm steamy cloth place over your face with light even pressure. Leave as long as you can or until the cloth has cooled, depending on the time you have.

This will get the active botanicals into the pores so they can work there magic and in turn deeply cleanse the skin.

Spritz with our Botanical Mist for an extra luxurious step

Your skin should feel clean and plump and your mind and mood uplifted!
