A Clearer Routine Starts with Simple, Natural Steps

Acne can feel unpredictable, but your skincare routine doesn’t have to be. By keeping things simple, gentle, and consistent, you can support healthier skin without harsh chemicals, drying cleansers, or complicated 10-step rituals.

This guide shows you how to build an easy, natural skincare routine using ingredients that actually help calm breakouts — tea tree, aloe, charcoal, calendula, peppermint, and other plant-based essentials.

Let’s keep it simple, effective, and kind to your skin.

1. Morning Routine (AM): Start Calm, Stay Balanced

Step 1: Gentle Cleanse

Use a mild, plant-based soap that cleans without stripping your skin.
These soaps work especially well in the morning:

Aloe Calendula (Unscented) — best for sensitive or irritated skin

Blissful Shea (Unscented) — gentle, minimal, calming

Oatmeal Milk & Honey — soothing for redness and uneven texture

A morning cleanse removes nighttime oil buildup and prepares your skin for the day.

---

Step 2: Hydrate (Optional but Helpful)

If your skin feels tight, use a lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer. Natural soaps don’t strip your skin, so most people need much less moisturizer than before.

---

Step 3: Don’t Skip Sunscreen

Sun exposure can make acne marks darker and slow healing.
Choose a non-comedogenic mineral sunscreen if you’re acne-prone.

2. Evening Routine (PM): Deep Clean and Reset

Step 1: Cleanse Thoroughly

Your evening wash is where you can use a slightly stronger bar to detox pores and break down buildup from the day.

Great PM choices:

Tea Tree Herb & Mint — antibacterial, clarifying, great for breakouts

Eucalyptus Hemp & Tea Tree — cooling, balancing, great for oily skin

Lavender Charcoal — activated charcoal pulls impurities from pores

Rhassoul Aloe — clay-based detox without harshness

Let the lather sit on the skin for 10–20 seconds before rinsing.

Step 2: Soothe & Restore

If your skin is inflamed, alternate your evening soap every other night with something calming like:

Aloe Calendula

Blissful Shea

This rotation keeps your routine balanced.

---

3. Weekly Reset (1–3 times per week)

Gentle Exfoliation

Over-exfoliating causes irritation and more breakouts.
But gentle exfoliation helps remove dead skin and prevent clogged pores.

Use a sisal soap saver bag lightly 1–3 times per week — that’s enough.

---

4. What NOT To Do (Common Acne Mistakes)

Don’t scrub aggressively

Don’t use harsh alcohol-based toners

Don’t wash your face more than twice a day

Don’t pick at spots

Don’t jump between too many products

Acne improves with consistency, not intensity.
