Kossma Beauty Routine
Step 1: Cleanse
Chamomile Cleanser - Wet your face with warm water. Apply a dime-sized amount of cleanser to your hands and gently rub them together to create a light lather. Massage the cleanser onto a wet face in circular motions, then rinse your face thoroughly with warm water.
Butter Cleansing Oil - Make sure your face is dry before applying a quarter-sized amount of Cleansing Oil to your hands. Then gently massage it into your skin for 1-2 minutes, focusing on any areas with congestion or makeup. To remove the oil, you have two options: dampen a washcloth with warm water and gently wipe away the oil and makeup, or for a deeper clean, follow up with the Chamomile Cleanser for a second cleanse.
Step 2: Serums | Vitamin C, New Moon, Sacred Skin
Serums work best on clean, dry skin. Unlike moisturizers, their primary function isn't to provide hydration, but rather to deliver concentrated active ingredients deep into your skin. So, skip the damp skin step and apply your serum directly after cleansing for maximum effectiveness.
Step 3: Hydrosols | The Damp Skin Method
Hydrosols offer a refreshing way to hydrate your skin and deliver beneficial water-soluble plant compounds to your skin. While they provide a nice burst of hydration, hydrosols evaporate quickly on their own. To maximize their effectiveness and lock in hydration, pair your hydrosol with one of our nourishing oils. This creates a synergistic effect, allowing the hydrosol to deliver its benefits while the oil helps trap hydration, leaving your skin feeling beautifully hydrated and revitalized.
Step 3: Moisturizers | Reishi Rose, Ghee Balm, Squalane
While your skin is still damp from the hydrosol, gently massage a small amount of your favorite Kossma moisturizer for 30 seconds, or until it's fully absorbed and the hydrosol has sunk in.
Step 4: Tallow Balm
For the final step, pamper your skin with our bestselling Tallow Balm. Gently swipe the balm stick across your face and massage it in using circular motions. Kossma fans love to finish their routine with a final layer of hydration. Simply pat a few drops of your favorite hydrosol after tallow balm and massage it in gently.
Step 5: Pearl Micro-exfoliant & Milky Mask
Add a dime sized amount of Pearl Polish to Chamomile Cleanser, mix together to form a paste and with light pressure massage over damp skin. Do not scrub or use strong pressure to exfoliate. Wash off and follow skin care routine as usual. Milky Mask will launch in late 2024 after its reformulation.
