How to Build a Skincare Routine That Actually Works (Starting with Just 3 Products)

How to Build a Skincare Routine That Actually Works (Starting with Just 3 Products)

Because your skin deserves clarity, not chaos.

There’s a strange moment that hits a lot of us—often in our 30s or 40s—when we suddenly think:
"Wait… do I actually know what my skin needs anymore?"

But it can also happen much earlier. Maybe you’re just starting to explore skincare, excited and curious, but the options feel endless—and somehow all wrong. So many steps. So much jargon. So little guidance.

Whichever point you’re at—welcome. You’re not late, and you’re not lost. You’re just ready. And that’s exactly where you’re meant to be.

I’ve always believed in a skincare approach that’s thoughtful, curious, and flexible. Not overloaded. Not underwhelming. Just intelligent, good-for-you formulations that work together, and leave room to grow.

So here’s the routine I start with.
Three products.
Endless ways to adapt.


1. Whipped Glow Moisturiser — Your Base Layer That Does More

If you’ve tried moisturisers that feel lovely for about 10 minutes and then… disappear? You’re not alone.

Whipped Glow is different. It hydrates—but it also stays. And more importantly, it plays well with other actives. It's lightweight, but not lazy. Simple, but not basic.

✔️ Hydrates and softens without heaviness
✔️ Barrier-supporting texture that works under SPF and makeup
✔️ Mixable with your serums or oils to customise your routine

This is my go-to for morning and night.
If I want a more targeted effect, I just adjust it:

It’s like a blank canvas—but way more nourishing.


2. Radiance Booster Serum — The Multivitamin Your Skin Craves

I don’t use this every day—but when I do, it’s a moment. The Radiance Booster is like a nutrient injection for skin that feels dull, tired, or a little “meh.”

It’s made with some seriously high-performance botanical oils that go beyond “hydrating.”

🧡 Seabuckthorn oil — rich in omega-7s + beta-carotene to support cell turnover and elasticity
❤️ Raspberry seed oil — high in vitamin E and polyphenols to protect and support barrier strength
🖤 Black sesame oil — full of essential fatty acids + zinc to calm redness and even tone

It absorbs quickly, nourishes deeply, and works beautifully alone or mixed into Whipped Glow. I sometimes even pat it around my eyes before makeup for a smoother finish.

This is what I use when my skin needs a boost, not just a seal.


3. Intensive Care Skin Balm — My Secret Weapon (That’s Not So Secret Anymore)

I used to carry a balm with me everywhere… until I read the label and realised it was 96% petroleum.
It didn’t nourish. It didn’t absorb. It just sat there.

So I made the one I actually wanted.

The Intensive Care Skin Balm is plant-based, rich, and endlessly useful:

🌼 Olive, rosehip, apricot kernel oils nourish and restore
🌼 Beeswax and candelilla wax create a breathable, soft seal
🌼 Calendula and chamomile calm irritated or sensitive skin

This one product has replaced lip balm, eye cream, cuticle oil, dry patch rescue, and even the occasional highlighter (yes, it melts beautifully on cheekbones).

You can even mix in a drop of Radiance Booster to make a glow treatment mask. There’s no wrong way to balm.


The Range is Flexible—So You Can Build What You Need

These aren’t the only products I use. I love our full range—and I use different ones depending on the season, my cycle, or how my skin feels that day.

But this trio—Whipped Glow, Radiance Booster Serum, and Skin Balm—is my skin’s constant.

From there, I can plug in:

Every formula is made to layer, mix, and coexist without cancelling each other out. Like skincare LEGO, but gooey.


Not Sure Where to Start?
