rosehip, explained

Why this small red fruit is in so many of our formulas, and what it does for scars, spots and fine lines.

Start with clean skin

Whatever comes next works better on skin that is clean and still a little damp. A gentle cleanser that leaves it soft, never tight, is the best first step.

Less is more

Two or three drops of oil are enough for the whole face. Warm them between your palms and press, rather than rub, into the skin.

• Morning: a light serum, then sun cream.
• Evening: cleanse, then a richer oil.
• Once a week: a mask to clear the pores.

Give it time

Skin renews itself in about four weeks. Keep a routine that long before you judge it.

care for your skin as slowly as the plants we make it from.
