Your 6-Step Shine Solution
Puberty. For many of us, those were the years when our days were defined by a never-ending battle with breakouts. But what happens when your skin still insists on shining – or worse – refuses to outgrow its Age of Acne?
Let’s break it down: Does your skin have enlarged pores, dark marks, and blackheads? Is it shiny with a slippery texture? Do you have the constant need to reapply your makeup? If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
There are many factors that trigger oily skin, such as genes, hormones, stress, and yes, even this summer’s humidity - which is why we whipped up the perfect 6-step regimen for combination to oily skin, culled from Mother Nature herself.
Step 1: Effectively Remove Makeup
There’s no better way to begin than with a clean slate! Take it all off with 2-3 pumps of our premium Cleansing Oil. Made with pure sunflower oil, it gently erases all traces of makeup, even the most stubborn waterproof mascara! Just massage it on your face in a gentle circular motion and wipe it off using a clean tissue or warm facial towel. It works double-time too – whereas most cleansing oils and make-up removers are packed with chemicals that strip your skin, ours is a naturally healthy oil which actually conditions your lashes and nourishes your skin.
Step 2: Cleanse
Choosing the right facial wash for your oily skin makes a world of difference. Our hypoallergenic Balancing Facial Wash is formulated with manila elemi, a natural ingredient prized by top beauty brands for its skin care benefits and healing properties. It effectively eliminates excess oils, dirt, and makeup that can clog pores, leaving skin moisturized and shine-free. Alternate your Balancing Facial Wash with our Purifying Facial Scrub 2-3 times a week to gently exfoliate and smoothen your skin, and then cap off the cleansing with a weekly facial with our Detoxifying Mask+Scrub.
Step 3: Tone
Keep skin oil-free longer with our Balancing Face Toner, which is infused with manila elemi and sugar beet to help keep oil under control. It helps remove deep-seated dirt that may have been left behind by your facial wash, plus it primes your skin for easy absorption of moisturizer. The best part? Our toner is alcohol-free and contains soothing aloe vera, so it works gently without stinging, tightening, or drying out skin.
Step 4: Spot-On Treatment
Because greasy skin is identified by excess oil and built-up sebum, pimples are often part of the oily story. Combat pimples without collateral damage with our Acne Defense Solution Gel. A potent blend of tea tree oil and pimple-fighting actives penetrate the skin to help fight pimple-causing bacteria without drying and peeling.
Safe and non-irritating, our Acne Defense Solution Gel is clinically tested to effectively dry out pimples, prevent pimple breakouts, and help reduce oiliness and the appearance of redness.*
For best results, dab (don’t rub!) a thin layer of the gel on clean, dry skin. You can also keep pimple mini-mergencies at bay by carrying it around in your purse or storing it in your medicine cabinet as a quick, handy first aid solution.

Step 5: Miracle Care
Raising a brow at this oil-on-oil step? Oily skin can be a little high-maintenance and while it may seem like applying natural oils on your skin is a beauty nightmare waiting to happen, it’s not! Keeping your skin’s moisture balance in check will help make your skin less keen on producing excess sheen.
Half a pump of our Sunflower Beauty Oil will help give your skin the moisture it needs while also working a few miracles on the under eyes, uneven skin patches, and pigmented spots. At night, massage 3-4 drops of Overnight Elixir all over your face and neck to revive, soften, and smoothen tired skin– its light oil texture and easily absorbed formula spreads smoothly and gently even oily skin.
Step 6: Moisturize
Maintain a healthy balance of moisture all night long with our Night Moisturizer. It contains plant collagen, a natural and major source of skin-renewing collagen, to help stimulate cell renewal and help prevent skin troubles. Plus its pure jojoba oil helps calm skin and maintain its natural balance.
Looking to keep your face flawless and shine-free all day? Before you apply your makeup, apply 1-2 pumps of our lightweight 100% Natural Day Moisturizer to create a smooth canvas that locks in moisture while nourishing your skin with its 15 essential vitamins and minerals. Top it off with your favorite 100% natural powder or foundation and you’re good to go!
