The Golden Order of Skincare: How to Order Your Natural Skincare Routine
Let’s be real—crafting an effective skincare routine isn’t a one-size-fits-all kind of deal. Your skin has its own personality, and your routine should honor that. Whether you’re dry, oily, or somewhere in between, each step matters—from cleansing to that final dab of moisturizer!
Honey Girl Organics products are ultra-concentrated powerhouses, jam-packed with natural goodness—no fillers, preservatives, or anything synthetic. Just pure, potent ingredients that work with your skin, not against it. Since we don’t use any synthetic preservatives, remember to wash your hands before interacting with your products!
This will ensure your product stays fresh, and your face free of any pollutants. Start with just a little product (trust us, a little goes a long way), then adjust as your skin whispers (or shouts) what it needs.
When creating a personalized routine, remember The Golden Order of Skincare:
- Cleanse – Sweep the day away.
- Exfoliate – Out with the old skin cells.
- Tone – Restore balance and prepare your pores!
- Serum – Feed your skin nutrients galore.
- Moisturize – Lock in all the love.
- Protect – Need daytime sun protection? Our Protect Stick has you covered.
Below you’ll find a go-to guide for creating your own routine, complete with product recommendations based on your skin type!
🌞 Daytime Moisturizers
Face & Eye Crème • Face & Eye Crème Extra Sensitive • Rose Crème • Matte
No skincare routine is complete without one of these natural & non-comedogenic organic moisturizers.
- Dry skin:
- Apply Face & Eye Crème (or Extra Sensitive) 1-2 times daily to cleansed skin.
- If you need extra soothing, substitute or layer with the Night Crème in the evening.
- Mature skin types, say hello to our Rose Crème. She’s the queen bee of hydration—just one morning application and you’re glowing all day.
- Combination skin:
o Use Face & Eye Crème/Extra Sensitive/Matte once per day
o Not sure where to begin? Try the Extra Sensitive version. It contains all the same indulgent ingredients as the regular variant, but without the essential oils.
- Oily skin:
- One light application of Face & Eye Crème/Extra Sensitive/Matte in the morning and/or one light application of Night Crème in the evening will provide ample moisture, without sending your pores into a panic.
- Sensitive or unknown skin type:
- Stick with Face & Eye Crème Extra Sensitive while you and your skin get to know each other better. If your skin desires a little extra love and hydration, upgrade to the regular Face & Eye Crème.
🌙 Nighttime Renewal
Night Crème • Night Crème Extra Sensitive • Matte
Feed, repair, and moisturize your skin while you sleep. Wake up feeling wonderful!
- Dry skin: Apply your chosen Night Crème every evening after cleansing for deep nocturnal repair.
- Combination skin: Use every other night post-cleanse, letting your skin breathe on alternate evenings.
- Oily skin: Nighttime moisture is still important! Use 2-3 times per week to balance overnight hydration without excess oil. Honey Girl Organics Matte is a powerful & lightweight moisturizer, and a great option for anyone wanting to lock in moisture without giving your pores more than they can handle.
🧪 Power Serums
HoneyGLO Regenerating Facial Serum • Rose C Serum
Small bottles, big impact.
· Dry skin:
o Use both AM and PM. Layer after cleansing, then seal in with your favorite moisturizer for next-level hydration.
· Combination skin:
o Just one nightly application is enough to keep things balanced and radiant.
· Oily or sensitive skin:
o Start slowly: try every other night after cleansing, exfoliating, and toning. Follow with a light moisturizer to lock everything in, then pat yourself on the back.
🌿 Exfoliation Essentials
Rejuvenating Mask • Facial Scrub
Scrub away yesterday. Mask for tomorrow.
· All skin types:
· Use up to three times a week for skin that looks as refreshed as you feel.
· Scrub first to clear the way, then Mask so all that nourishing goodness can really sink in.
o We recommend gently massaging the scrub in circles to stimulate blood flow, and the same goes for the Mask. After applying, let the mask do its magic for 10-15 minutes while you rest & relax!
· Sensitive skin:
o Gentle is your mantra. Use light pressure with the Scrub and Mask
🧼 Cleansing Trio
Foaming Facial Wash • Facial Cleanser • Facial Cleanser Extra Sensitive
Never underestimate the power of a good cleanse. It sets the tone for everything that follows.
Ensuring your skin is cleansed helps prevent oil buildup, removes impurities that might cause acne, and allows your skin to more fully absorb the nourishing ingredients of our natural skincare.
· Dry or sensitive skin:
o Stick with our Facial Cleanser or Extra Sensitive formula. Use nightly and skip the foam to protect your skin’s precious natural oils.
· Combination skin:
o Choose your favorite cleanser and go once a night. If you use a richer cleanser, pat down with a damp cloth to avoid oil buildup.
· Oily skin:
o Foaming Facial Wash is your go-to. Deep clean, tight pores, fresh face.
· All skin types – want a super cleanse?
o For the toughest cleaning jobs…Start with the Facial Cleanser (or Facial Cleanser Extra Sensitive), then follow with the Foaming Facial Wash. Warning, you’ll be a brand-new person after this. Literally.
💧 Toners
Facial Toner • Rose Toner
Not just fancy water, these toners help to rebalance your skin's pH, prep your skin, and refresh.
Most skin types:
- Use after cleansing and exfoliating, before applying serum. It can be spritzed directly onto face or applied with a small cotton-round.
Sensitive skin:
- Ease in with every other day, same spot in the routine—post-cleanse, pre-serum.
These guidelines offer a starting point for those new to Honey Girl Organics or seeking structure in their regimen. Our formulations are highly concentrated and free of any unnecessary additives, so always begin with the smallest effective amount and increase slowly.
Don’t forget to always cleanse your skin before applying Honey Girl Organics products and always wash your hands before getting started!
Over time, you’ll discover the perfect cadence for your complexion, then sit back, and let the finest in natural skincare do the rest.
