Are You Missing These 3 Must-Have Skincare Products?

You’ve got cleansers and maybe a serum - but are you skipping these skincare staples that protect, hydrate and transform your skin?

In this guide, we’re breaking down three must-have skincare products every routine needs and more importantly, how to layer them like a pro. Whether you're managing combination skin, navigating skin concerns like dullness or dehydration, or just want to level up your routine with clean, Australian made skincare - this is where to start.

Let’s get into the what, why, and how of your core skincare lineup: exfoliator, moisturiser, and SPF.

Why Skincare Layering Matters

Think of layering skincare like dressing your skin — you wouldn’t put your coat on before your shirt, right? Applying skincare products in the right order ensures each one can do its job properly and won’t block the next. It’s also key for maximising the effect of active ingredients like Vitamin C, and antioxidant-rich plant extracts that support skin goals like hydration, glow, and skin correcting.

Step 1: Exfoliate with the Gentle Facial Scrub

Exfoliation is where it all begins. This step removes dead skin cells and clears the path for your actives to shine.

⭐ Product: Gentle Facial Scrub

• Key Ingredients: Bamboo powder, Snowflower & Lemon Myrtle

• Why It Works: Gently exfoliates without stripping moisture, clears congestion, and revives tired, dull skin  ideal for any skin type including dry, oily, and combination skin.

How to Use: 2–3 times a week, apply to damp skin in gentle circular motions. Rinse well and pat dry. Follow immediately with moisturiser or your favourite Revival serum. It also pairs beautifully with a gentle cream cleanser like our Snowflower Cream Cleanser for a double cleanse.

Step 2: Hydrate & Replenish with the Kakadu Plum Hydrating Face Cream

After exfoliating or cleansing, your skin is perfectly primed to soak in hydration.

⭐ Product: Kakadu Plum Hydrating Face Cream

• Key Ingredients: Kakadu Plum, Jojoba Oil, Shea Butter

• Why It Works: Rich in natural Vitamin C and essential fatty acids, this lightweight cream helps boost collagen, improve elasticity, and support overall skin health. It targets common skin concerns like dehydration, dullness, and fine lines.

Pro Tip: Apply while skin is still slightly damp to lock in maximum moisture and allow the active ingredients to penetrate deeper. For enhanced benefits, follow with a nourishing face oil & eye cream.

Step 3: Protect with the Pure Natural Facial Sunscreen SPF 50

Moisturised skin? Check. Now lock it all in with serious sun protection.

⭐ Product: Pure Natural Facial Sunscreen SPF 50

• Key Ingredients: Kakadu Plum & Hyaluronic Acid

• Why It Works: This 100% mineral SPF offers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection with added antioxidants to shield your skin from UV rays, pollution, and daily stressors - a must-have in every skincare routine.

Sunscreen is always your final skincare step before makeup. Use daily — even when you’re indoors or it’s cloudy. 

The Correct Skincare Order Recap (Key Products):

1. 1. Gentle Facial Scrub (1–2x weekly)

FAQs

1. Can I use exfoliant and moisturiser together?
Yes - exfoliating before moisturising boosts product absorption and smooths the surface.

2. Should I exfoliate daily?
No. 1- 2 times a week is ideal to avoid over-exfoliating.

3. When do I apply sunscreen in my routine?
Always last in your morning skincare routine — after moisturiser.

4. Can I use the moisturiser at night too?
Absolutely. It’s nourishing and gentle enough for both AM and PM.

5. Is mineral sunscreen better for sensitive or combination skin?
Yes. Our SPF 50 uses zinc oxide and botanical ingredients that protect without clogging pores or causing irritation.
