Concentrate on Concentrates: Why Less is More with Rich Skincare
If you’ve ever dipped your finger into Honey Girl Organics’ Face & Eye Crème and thought, “Wow, this feels rich,” you’re absolutely right!
That’s because our creams are true concentrates: dense, nutrient packed formulas without fillers, thickeners, or excess water. Every drop is potent.
But here’s the secret: the less you use, the better your skin will feel, and the longer your jar will last!
The “Greasy” Myth (and Why It’s Actually a Good Sign)
“I love the results, but it can feel a little oily!”
What’s really happening is simple: your skin just needs less than you think. Our Face & Eye Crème is formulated with raw Hawaiian honey, beeswax, extra virgin olive oil, and royal jelly: all rich, skin loving ingredients that deeply nourish and hydrate.
Unlike lightweight lotions that evaporate quickly, these natural emollients are concentrated: your skin only needs a tiny amount to soak up the benefits.
Think of it like honey itself. One spoonful sweetens an entire cup of tea. Too much creates an overpowering taste. Just enough creates the perfect balance.
Pro Tip: Warm It Up, Don’t Slather It On
- Scoop a pea sized amount (yes, really: that’s enough for your whole face).
- Warm it between your fingers for a few seconds.
- Press or gently pat into your skin. Ideally apply when your skin is slightly damp from cleansing or misting.
Warming the crème helps it melt and absorb more evenly. Applying to damp skin locks in extra hydration and creates that soft, luminous “Honey Girl Glow” without any oily feel.
Find Your Perfect Amount
Everyone’s skin has its own rhythm. The right amount depends on your skin type and your environment:
- Oily or Combination Skin: Use a tiny dab once a day on damp skin. Your skin will drink it up, with no greasy finish.
- Normal or Balanced Skin: Use a pea sized amount twice a day, or once daily if the weather is humid. The goal is supple, not slick.
- Dry or Mature Skin, or Dry Climates: Use a slightly heavier application once daily, or two light layers morning and night. Even then, each layer should still be no more than a pea sized dab.
Remember: your skin should feel comfortably nourished, not shiny. If you notice residue, you’ve simply used more than your skin needs.
Why Concentrates Are Better for You and the Planet
- Less waste: one jar lasts longer.
- Fewer preservatives: we skip unnecessary water.
- More potency: every ingredient actively benefits your skin.
When you apply Honey Girl Organics, you are not just caring for your skin. You are practicing mindful beauty.
Quick FAQ
“I love the results, but sometimes it feels greasy. What should I do?”
Use a tinier amount and warm it up first. Start with a pea sized dab: warm it between fingertips and press into damp skin. If it still feels heavy, reduce the amount slightly or apply only at night. Your skin will tell you when you’ve found the sweet spot.
“How do I know if I used too much?”
If your skin looks shiny or feels like product is sitting on top, you used more than you need. Blot gently, then use a bit less next time. Concentrates work best in feather light layers.
“Can I layer for extra dry areas?”
Yes. Tap on a rice grain sized amount over dry patches after your pea sized base layer. Always let each thin layer absorb fully before adding more.
