New to Clean Beauty? Your Honey Girl Organics Starter Skincare Guide!
Switching from conventional skincare to active ingredient formulas can feel like a big leap, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. At Honey Girl Organics, our products are concentrated, purposeful, and designed to work with your skin, not sit on top of it. That means your routine gets simpler, your shelf gets lighter, and your skin gets happier!
Use Less Than You Think
If you come from conventional products, you’re probably used to pumping, squeezing, and layering generously.
With active botanical formulas, a little truly goes a long way!
Here is a secret most people are shocked by when it comes to Honey Girl Organics. Using less actually helps your skin look and feel better and makes your products last longer, too. These active formulas are concentrated and intentional, so your skin gets what it needs without overload.
Think about quality over quantity, always.
When it comes to our facial moisturizers, a pea-sized amount is truly enough for your entire face.
We also suggest gently pressing or patting it in rather than rubbing. This encourages absorption and keeps your skin calm and balanced.
For best results, apply when your skin is slightly damp from cleansing or misting with a toner. Damp skin helps draw moisture in, allowing the formula to melt in more evenly and seal in hydration.
Your Beginner Routine Baseline
Start with cleansing, always!
Most skin types will love the Facial Cleanser & Makeup Remover for daily use. If your skin is reactive or easily irritated, the Facial Cleanser & Makeup Remover Extra Sensitive is a beautiful alternative that still cleans thoroughly while staying ultra-gentle.
Next comes the Facial Toner, a must for everyone year-round. In winter, it delivers lightweight hydration and helps calm dryness. In summer, it cools, refreshes, and balances after the sun and heat. Many customers also love using it as a body mist for an all-over skin reset. And if you wear makeup, this step becomes magic. Mist before application to prep the skin, then finish with one or two light spritzes to set everything in place so your makeup looks fresh and skin like all day!
To seal it all in, reach for the Face & Eye Crème or the Face & Eye Crème Extra Sensitive. This step locks in moisture, supports your skin barrier, and gives your complexion that soft, healthy glow without heaviness.
Cleanse, tone, moisturize.
Simple, effective, and powerful when done in this order!
When to Add More Products
Starting with this core routine gives your skin time to reset, rebalance, and show you what it truly needs. Introducing fewer products at first makes it easier to notice real changes and understand what your skin loves without overwhelming it.
Once your skin feels settled and comfortable, it’s the perfect time to explore targeted treatments such as serums, masks, or scrubs. Adding products slowly and intentionally helps you get better results and keeps your routine feeling supportive rather than complicated.
If you are curious about what to add next or want help customizing your routine, drop your questions in the comments. One of our Busy Bees will be there to share a personalized recommendation based on your skin type, goals, and lifestyle.
And finally, if you are new here, welcome! We are so excited to have you in our hive of non-toxic, organic skincare. You made an important switch, not only for your skin and your health but also for the planet, and that deserves a round of applause!
Love,
