Skincare Guide

Your daily skincare ritual

A simple, gentle routine for sensitive skin — the correct order to apply our soaps, butters, and oils morning and evening. Tap each step as you go.

The golden rule: thinnest to thickest

Always apply products from lightest to richest — cleanse first, then lighter treatments, finishing with thicker butters. This lets each layer absorb properly without being blocked.

Sensitive skin wisdom

Listen to your skin

If your skin feels tight or irritated, scale back to just cleansing and face butter. Less is more for sensitive skin.

Patch test new products

Always test a new product on your inner wrist for 24–48 hours before applying to your face.

Consistency over intensity

A gentle daily routine is far more effective than occasional intensive treatments for sensitive skin.
