A simple skincare routine for mature skin: how to use our collection

A good skincare ritual does not need to mean using every product at once. Our Mature Skin collection brings together a cleanser, toners, moisturisers, facial oils and a few optional extras, so you can choose a routine that feels right for you.

Start with cleansing, toning and moisturising. We recommend an eye cream or facial oil if you enjoy those extra steps, and adjust the amounts rather than automatically applying more. Here is how the products fit together.

Your morning skincare routine

1. Cleanse with Geranium Cleanser

Apply a small amount of Geranium Cleanser to a damp cotton pad or muslin cloth. Sweep gently over your face using circular movements, then remove with a warm damp cloth or rinse with warm water. There is no need to scrub.

The formula includes sweet almond oil and organic macadamia nut oil alongside geranium essential oil and organic rose water, making it a nourishing, cleansing option for mature or dry skin.

2. Follow with Rose Toner

Spritz Rose Toner onto a damp cotton pad to remove the final traces of makeup after cleansing. Alternatively, use it as a facial mist before moisturising. 

This is a simple product, containing no alcohol, just pure hydrating floral water.

3. Add Frankincense & Rose Eye Cream

Use Frankincense & Rose Eye Cream sparingly, an amount approximately the size of a grain of rice, dotted gently above and below the eye area using your ring finger. Keep it out of your eyes and avoid rubbing. The skin around your eye is thinner than the rest of your face and will not benefit from rubbing your eye cream on.

This formula contains frankincense, which is toning, firming and rejuvenating - perfect for crows feet and fine laughter lines. It also contains anti-ageing, plumping and smoothing rose absolute, organic jojoba oil and organic rosehip seed oil. These are some of our favourite ingredients combined in a light eye cream to nourish and feed the skin around your eyes. It can be used morning and evening after cleansing.

4. Apply either Rose or Frankincense Facial Moisturiser

Choose either Rose Face Moisturiser or Frankincense Face Moisturiser, applying a modest amount up over your face and neck in gentle sweeping movements and circles.

Rose Face Moisturiser is our best selling day moisturiser for mature, dry or dehydrated skin. It is softening, smoothing and plumping whereas Frankincense Face Moisturiser pairs frankincense with organic macadamia nut oil, shea nut butter and cocoa butter. It is slightly heavier in texture and is toning, firming and rejuvenating. If your skin is sensitive or slightly sensitive we recommend the rose moisturiser. 

Neither cream should be treated as a sunscreen. Complete your daytime routine with your chosen sunscreen, following its application directions.

Where does a facial oil fit?

We offer three facial oils for mature skin. 

Neroli & Rose Facial Oil is naturally packed with powerful anti-oxidants and is perfect for mature skin or skin which is exposed to the outdoors, or city life. It blends organic rosehip seed, jojoba and macadamia nut oils with rose absolute and neroli. To use it as a serum, apply a small amount and allow it to absorb before your moisturiser. 

Frankincense Facial Oil combines frankincense, geranium & orange with organic macadamia, hemp seed oil, apricot oil and rosehip oil. These are a powerful combination of skin food ingredients promoting toned, firmer looking skin.

Rose Facial Oil offers a rose and geranium blend with organic rosehip seed oil, organic macadamia nut oil and apricot oil. 

When using a facial oil beneath your cream, the sequence is cleanser, toner, eye cream, facial oil, then moisturiser. 

A comfortable evening routine

Cleanse with Geranium Cleanser, follow with Rose Toner, and add your eye cream if you use one. For your evening cream step, choose Rosehip & Geranium Night Moisturiser, a richer option within the collection. Apply according to its packaging directions.

If you enjoy an oil beneath your night cream, use a small amount of Neroli & Rose or Frankincense Facial Oil as directed before moisturising.

Alternatively, keep things simple with Neroli & Rose Facial Oil’s standalone bedtime use. 

Beauty Balm: an alternative for cleansing or bedtime

We love this product rich and nourishing product!

Beauty Balm contains organic macadamia, rosehip and jojoba oils, rose absolute, neroli and organic beeswax. A treatment balm it can be applied to skin before going to bed. Use on your face, neck and decollete and see the difference!

As a cleansing balm, gently massage a small amount onto dry skin and remove with a warm damp muslin cloth.

As a night balm, apply a small amount to clean skin in the evening and gently massage into your face, neck and décollete.

Rub any residue over your lips or in the ends of your hair.

Once a week: a gentle exfoliation

The Chamomile Facial Scrub directions recommend once-weekly use. Apply a small amount to clean, damp skin and massage gently using circular movements. Rinse thoroughly with warm water or remove with cotton pads, then follow with your moisturiser or facial oil.

Keep this as an occasional step once a week, not as a daily requirement. Skip exfoliation if your skin feels irritated, and stop if a product causes discomfort.

Start small with a discovery box

If you would like a simple starting point, the Rose & Geranium Facial Discovery Box contains mini versions of Rose Facial Moisturiser, Geranium Cleanser and Rose Toner. Use them in the order cleanser, toner, moisturiser.

The Frankincense, Geranium & Rose Facial Discovery Box follows the same three-step approach, with Frankincense Facial Moisturiser instead of Rose.

For a gift or a larger version of the rose routine, explore the Rose Facial Gift Box, which also brings together Rose Facial Moisturiser, Geranium Cleanser and Rose Toner.

Make the ritual your own

Your starting point can be as simple as Geranium Cleanser, Rose Toner and one moisturiser. Eye cream, facial oil, Beauty Balm and a weekly scrub are choices you can introduce gradually, not a checklist you must complete.

Patch test new products before wider use, particularly if your skin is sensitive, and introduce one new product at a time. Botanical ingredients and fragrance do not suit everyone. Stop using a product if irritation occurs.
