Skin care rituals have become a little complicated, time consuming & expensive!! We’ve stripped things back and going back to the simplest of ingredients to cleanse, tone & moisturise.
Light coconut oil (light coconut oil is liquid at room temperature so easier to work with)
Flower water – geranium, neroli, lavender, rosemary.
Face oil.
Cotton pads
Flannel
Optional: Wheatgerm oil / Rosehip seed oil to use around the eyes.
INSTRUCTIONS:
First of all remove your eye make up by applying a small amount of oil to your eyes and removing it with a cotton pad – we love using reusable cotton pads like these
Massage coconut oil into face and neck.
Soak a flannel in hot water and cover face with it. Hold for a few seconds then wipe away oil. Excess dirt will be moved away & a little oil will stay on the face.
Spritz your face with your chosen floral water and wait for it to dry. If you’re in a mega rush just dab with a towel.
Next use your favourite face oil. We sell the beautiful Aphrodite Facial Oil by MOA
You can also try making your own facial oil with this simple formula.
