What's your skin type?
Best practice for what your skin needs.

Oily skin

If your skin feels greasy to the touch, has enlarged pores, acne or spots and you find it difficult to keep makeup in place then it sounds like you may have oily skin.

If this is you, your skin will benefit from a skincare routine that helps to balance out your natural oil production and prevents it from creating excess oil.

Best practice.

1. Cleanse. First thing in the morning, cleanse with the Lemon Myrtle Cleanser which has been designed to remove excess sebum (oil) from your skin without completely stripping it (your skin still needs oil).
2. Moisturise. Follow your cleanse with the Light Balancing Crème which will provide your skin with enough hydration to prevent oil production but won’t overload it.
3. Sunscreen! Every skin, no matter what type will benefit from using sunscreen daily (no ageing to see here)! We recommend a zinc based, natural sunscreen.
4. Cleanse. At night before bed, cleanse with the Lemon Myrtle Cleanser to remove any makeup or build-up of environmental impurities from the day.
5. Moisturise. Follow your cleanse with the Light Balancing Crème to lock moisture back into your skin & balance your oils.
6. Exfoliate & Detox. Oily skin will hugely benefit from an exfoliation & clay detox once or twice a week (depending on your skin) to remove dead skin, ingrained impurities and encourage both skin cell turnover and to help your skin find a more natural oil balance. After cleansing (either morning or night), gently massage your skin with the Gentle Exfoliant before washing off and gently patting your skin dry with a clean towel. Apply the White Clay Mask with your fingers or a brush and allow to dry for 15 minutes. Wash off with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel. Follow with the above moisturising routine.

Combination skin

If your skin feels oily across your T-zone, but you are be prone to dry patches on your cheeks and jawline then you have combination skin.

If this is you, then your skin will benefit from a lightly hydrating but balancing skincare regimen.

Best Practice.

1. Cleanse. First thing in the morning, cleanse with the Lemon Myrtle Cleanser which has been designed to remove excess sebum (oil) from your skin without completely stripping it (your skin still needs oil).
2. Moisturise. Follow your cleanse with the Light Balancing Crème which will provide your skin with enough hydration to prevent oil production but won’t overload it.

5. Moisturise. Follow your cleanse with the Light Balancing Crème or Nature’s Antioxidant Crème (if you need a bit more hydration) to lock moisture back into your skin.
6. Exfoliate & Detox. Combination skin will hugely benefit from an exfoliation & clay detox once or twice a week (depending on your skin’s oil levels) to remove dead skin, ingrained impurities and encourage both skin cell turnover and to help your skin find a more natural oil balance. After cleansing (either morning or night), gently massage your skin with the Gentle Exfoliant before washing off and gently patting your skin dry with a clean towel. Apply the White Clay Mask with your fingers or a brush and allow to dry for 15 minutes. Wash off with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel. Follow with the above moisturising routine.

Normal skin

If your skin generally feels quite balanced, rarely oily and rarely dry then it sounds like you have normal skin.

Your skin will benefit from a routine that helps to maintain this balance of hydration.

Dry skin

If your skin often feels stretched, your pores are nearly invisible and you suffer from occasional flakiness or dry patches then you have dry skin.

Your skin will benefit from a deeply moisturising routine to help it regain its suppleness and hydration.

1. Cleanse. First thing in the morning, cleanse with the Lemon Myrtle Cleanser which has been designed to remove excess sebum (oil) from your skin without completely stripping it.

5. Moisturise. Follow your cleanse with the Intense Hydrating Crème to deeply nourish and lock moisture back into your skin.
6. Exfoliate & Detox. Dry skin will benefit from an exfoliation & clay detox once a week to remove dead skin, ingrained impurities and encourage both skin cell turnover and to help your skin maintain its oil balance. After cleansing (either morning or night), gently massage your skin with the Gentle Exfoliant before washing off and gently patting your skin dry with a clean towel.

Very dry skin

If your skin always feels tight and you often suffer from flakiness, dry patches or scaliness and your skin still feels stretched even after using a moisturiser then you likely have very dry skin.

If this is you, then your skin will benefit from a moisture intensive skincare program to help it regain its natural balance.

Best practice.

1. Cleanse. First thing in the morning, cleanse with the Lemon Myrtle Cleanser which has been designed to remove impurities from your skin without stripping it of its natural oils.
2. Moisture Boost. Our lightweight but hydrating serum gives your tired, dry skin that get up and go that it desperately needs.
3. Moisturise. Follow the Moisture Boost Serum with the Intense Hydration Crème which will deeply hydrate your skin for the day but not overwhelm it.
4. Sunscreen! Every skin, no matter what type will benefit from using sunscreen daily (no ageing to see here)! We recommend a zinc based, natural sunscreen.
5. Cleanse. At night before bed, cleanse with the Lemon Myrtle Cleanser to remove any makeup or buildup of environmental impurities from the day.
6. Moisturise. Follow your cleanse with the Intense Hydrating Crème to lock moisture back into your skin.
7. Oil. Follow the moisturiser with our Daily Rejuve Facial Oil which is non-comedogenic (won't block your pores), but deeply hydrating. After time, you may only need this as a weekly treatment.
8. Exfoliate & Detox. Even very dry skin will benefit from a weekly exfoliation & clay detox to remove dead skin, ingrained impurities and encourage both skin cell turnover and to help your skin find a more natural oil balance.

Other ways to help your skin

Drink plenty of water! Hydration starts from the inside out, so ensuring your body is receiving the right amount of water every day goes a long way towards supple, hydrated skin.

Clean, healthy eating. A healthy, balanced diet helps your skin from the inside to get all the nutrients that it needs to find your bloom.

Manage stress. Stress can take a significant toll on your skin as when your body is stressed, it creates more of the hormone cortisol which tells the glands in your skin to create excess oil. It can also aggravate inflammatory skin conditions such as dermatitis and psoriasis. If you are feeling stressed, it can be easy to forget about your skincare and looking after yourself. Take some time for yourself, put on a clay mask and some music, let yourself just breathe and talk to someone that might be able to help.
