Skincare Cheat Sheet
Each of our skin, from texture, to color, to type, varies widely. We're all starting from different baselines, and healthy skin often means something very different to each of us. That's why we've invested in small-batch, regenerative skincare, which thoughtfully considers the unique needs of each individual. We know healthy skin isn't one-size-fits-all, and after years of research, we've learned what skin characteristics best coordinate to each product.
Acne & Breakout Prone Skin
Characteristics
Persistent breakouts of blackheads, pimples and cysts; skin can be oily or dry, enlarged and clogged pores, inflammation and redness around acne lesions, and may result in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) or acne scars. It has a tendency for new acne formations even after previous breakouts have healed.
Acne can be dry with flaky skin, or oily with large pores and a consistently oily sheen on skin. We offer products and protocols for both types of acne.
Treatment
Gently cleanse to remove impurities, use topical acne treatments and natural remedies like calming hydrosols to hydrate. Exfoliate once a week to help keep pores clear of acne-causing debris.
Protocol
- Butter Cleansing Oil
- Marshmallow Hydrosol
- Sacred Skin Acne Serum
- Tallow Beauty Balm use when you need more moisture and hydration for both dry and oily acne; may clog pores for those sensitive to oils and butters.
- Pearl Powder 1 x week
- Milky Mask every 3 days

Sensitive Skin or Rosacea
Characteristics
Characterized by reactivity that results in redness, dryness, itching, and a fragile skin. It is prone to irritation, allergic reactions, and may have occasional breakouts.

Dehydrated Skin
Characteristics
Dehydrated skin lacks water within the skin and feels tight, dry, flaky, and has fine lines and wrinkles. It has difficulty absorbing products and can be irritated and sensitive. Dehydrated skin often mimics dry skin (lack of oil) so its important to know the difference for proper care.
Treatment
The recommended treatment involves focusing on hydration and then moisturization. This includes using gentle cleansers, avoiding hot water (which can further dehydrate the skin), and applying moisturizer over damp skin, followed by an occlusive balm to trap hydration in the skin.
Protocol
- Butter Cleansing Oil or Chamomile Cleanser
- Marshmallow Hydrosol

- Ghee Balm night only

- Milky Mask 1x or 2x/week mix with milk (hydration) or full fat yogurt for gentle exfoliation and hydration, or honey for hydration.

Dry Skin
Characteristics
Dry skin lacks oil and shows up as a rough, dull appearance that has tightness or discomfort, increased sensitivity, itchiness, some flaking, and a tendency for fine lines and wrinkles.
Treatment
Treatment is to double cleanse to keep skin moisturized. Use tallow based moisturizers along with an occlusive like tallow balm as the last step to deeply moisturize. Avoid products that strip the skin of its natural oils.
Protocol
