Routine
AM
1. Quickly wash off the night using a Cleansing Bar and cool water.
2. Tone with a few drops of Cactus & Rosewater Prebiotic Tonic.
3. Apply HA+Rosehip & Centella Day Cream to face, neck, and chest.
4. Apply SPF of choice (for best results, never use a combination moisturiser and SPF. The ingredients do not combine and they should be kept seperate) followed by makeup, if any.
PM
1. Splash cool water over face & massage in Enzymatic Cleansing Balm for 90 seconds before rinsing clean with cool water. I use this as my only cleanse but if you want to you can follow with a Cleansing Bar.
2. Three nights a week (you can work up to every other night as we do), exfoliate with AHA+BHA Mask & Polish for 90 seconds.
3. Pat face dry and apply a HA+Bio Retinol 1% & Niacinamide 2% Anti Ageing Cream three nights a week and up to nightly. This can be used to spot treat the area around the eyes and lips or do as we do and use it over face, neck, and chest.
4. Apply a few drops of Rosehip & Centella Face Serum to face, neck, and chest and wake up to a gorgeous glow.
Packaging
We prefer to invest in high quality ingredients, not packaging. Cactus & Rosewater Prebiotic Tonic comes in an amber glass jar with aluminium lid and the option for a spray top (reusable!). There is no outer box as while we appreciate this looks lovely, it will at best go straight to recycling and therefore we deem it unnecessary.
Ingredients
rosa damascena flower water, vinegar (apple cider), opuntia ficus-indica (prickly pear) stem water, glycerin, lactic acid (AHA), allantoin, inulin, aqua, alpha-glucan oligosaccharide, lactobacillus ferment
