Feel the benefits of double cleansing! A skincare refresh for the New Year.
In the first step, an oil-based cleanser removes makeup, and in the second step, a cream-based cleanser deep cleanses your skin - removing dead skin cells and drawing out impurities from pores.

Step one
Take a scoop of Radiance Face Balm, soften it between your fingers and then apply to the skin using gentle circular movements, getting the balm into all the parts of your face and décolletage. Using your cloth with warm water (our organic muslin squares or organic unbleached cotton cloths are ideal), remove the product from your face.

Step two
Take a pump or two of our Petitgrain & Everlasting Flower Cream Cleanser and apply to the skin, using gentle circular movements, into all the parts of your face and décolletage. Using your cloth with warm water, remove the product from your face.

Avoid very hot and very cold water.

Use a muslin or organic cotton square for gentle exfoliation and product removal. These can be washed and reused many times over.

Follow up with a plant-based moisturiser - in the form of a face cream or a face oil. Shop to suit your skin type.
