Not sure where to begin with your clean skincare journey? It can get overwhelming when you’re faced with an internet full of products and endless videos telling you what the “right” way to care for your skin is.
Skincare’s best kept secret is this: there is no one-size-fits-all skincare.
Searches for “best skincare for _____ skin” yield articles full of products recommended by editors but how can you know it’s the right product for you? Try it.
Really the only way to know if a product is right for you is to do some research, decide on a purchase, and give it a fair shot.
Below we’ve curated four beautiful and nourishing skincare rituals from the most essential to the more luxurious. All products are from our chosen skincare line, Green Envee. Learn more about their mission, ingredient transparency, and more here! For personalized recommendations, we recommend booking a session with one of our Holistic Estheticians but these rituals are beautiful suggestions for a place to begin.
Important note: each of these rituals includes an oil cleanser followed by an additional cleanser. This method of double cleansing is highly recommended for all skin types. Oil breaks down oils, allowing for a deeper cleansing of the skin. Sav, one of our Estheticians, notes that she recommends double cleansing morning and night but it’s ok to skip in the morning if needed.
Gently, Everyday - a simple, quick routine sticking to the basics
Great for: skincare newbies, teens and tweens, everyday rituals, low spoons/high pain days
Method: Spray suggested Aroma into your hands. Take a few deep, cleansing breaths with your hands near your nose. Begin by applying cleansing oil to dry skin and massaging in a circular motion. Follow up with a damp facial towel to wipe away residue. Cleanse once more with cleansing cream. Pat dry with a clean towel. With eyes closed, spray facial mist over face followed closely by moisturizer. Avoid allowing your face to dry as the moisture will help products penetrate deeper. Take one more cleansing breath.
