Face Cream or Face Oil?
Have you ever looked at our chamomile infused face products and wondered "which one's for me?" "how do I choose?" "can I use it at night?"
You've come to the right place! All our most commonly asked questions are answered...
The Detour Co Face Products are Designed to....
Replenish
Enhancing the health of your skin barrier is our top priority. Healthy skin is slower to damage, faster to repair (and more likely to glow all day long). Nutrient rich skin care is sure to replenish vitamins and minerals your skin needs to be its best.
Repair
Acne, blemishes, scarring, redness, rashes. These are all-too-common, can lead to insecurities and even destroy our confidence. The Detour Co Chamomile infused face products want to help, twofold. Not only are these products designed to support the healing of common skin imbalances and damage, but in doing so, we hope you're able to love the reflection you see looking back at you. Repair your skin. Repair your relationship with yourself.
Protect
We live in a world inundated with chemicals. They're unavoidable. They're in our food, water and air - not to mention bed sheets, clothing and most mainstream skincare. This can all contribute to damaged skin over time. We are here to help you counteract some of the negative effects of free radicals like smoke, smog, ultraviolet damage and more.
The Ingredients
Okay, I get it, theyre both great...
But what's the difference?!
(Please know: your skin care rituals are yours to create. Find some insights here and ultimately choose the one that's calling you. Trust yourself. They really are both amazing, truly natural options that can offer radiant and glowing skin through all ages and stages of life. Get one or get both. Create your own adventure.)
Dry and Sensitive Skin. Honey and zinc help the skin hold moisture so you don't dry out as the day goes on. Suggestion: morning care for all day protection.
Combination and OIly Skin. Calendula and carrot seed are known to support skin on a cellular level. Repair sun damage, scarring, discolouration. Makes a great night oil!
A match made in heaven
Both the face cream and face oil are best pals with this toner. It's important to apply any oil based product to damp skin to increase absorption! Sure, you could just slap that cream on after a quick wash, but why not elevate your experience and offer your skin some super power plant hydration?
The Detour Co toner is made with chamomile hydrosol, aloe juice and witch hazel. Slightly astringent. Super regenerative. Surprisingly soothing.
Three Routines For Day & Night
1. SUPER SIMPLE
This is your most basic skin ritual. It's the routine I lean on when I'm short on time and know I'll feel better after taking two minutes to care for my skin! Less than two minutes. Only two products. Let's go....
- CLEANSE - grab a cotton ball or small reusable makeup pad. Spray it with your toner 3 or 4 times. Rub it around the face to remove excess dirt.
- BALANCE - Now spray the toner around the face to prepare the skin for what's next.
- MOISTURIZE - apply your oil or cream lovingly.
That's it!
2. Skincare is Self Care
My morning routine. This is the routine I do 98% of the time. It takes a few minutes and leaves me feeling radiant and fresh!
- CLEANSE - a small scoop of body butter, softened into your palms. Rub around the face for a minute or three. This is called an oil cleanse. It draws excess oils and dirt OUT of the skin while helping your skin retain all the good oils and nutrients in needs. Wipe away with a warm (or slightly cool) wash cloth.
- BALANCE - A few refreshing sprays of Chamomile Aloe Toner, a big breath and a smile (I can't not smile when I use this spray).
- MOISTURIZE - apply the face oil or cream lovingly. Slow drags down the neck and chest for lymphatic drainage. Gentle upward circles with some extra TLC around wrinkles and fine lines. Remember our skin was made to move! Don't be afraid to play!
3. I've got all the time in the world
It's Sunday night, you're heading to bed early, but first, let's care for that beautiful skin that helped make this weekend so fun and productive!
CLEANSE - body butter oil cleanse: a small amount of unscented body butter, softened in your palms, rubbed around the face for a few minutes. Draw out dirt. Eliminate excess oils. Wipe it all away with a warm wash cloth.
EXFOLIATE face mask: a few shakes of Flower and Clay Cleanser into your hand and just enough water to form a paste. Rub it around, maybe leave it on long enough to dry (I love a lengthy face and chest mask in the bath) then wipe it away with a warm wash cloth.
MOISTURIZE - herbal oil cleanse: I'll reach for my yarrow or chamomile or lavender infused oil to repeat another luxurious oil cleanse, this time bringing in the flower power. Remember: This process removes what the skin doesn't need while replenishing what it does.
CLEANSE - toner wipe: I'll wipe excess oils away one more time with toner on a reusable makeup pad.
BALANCE - toner spray: now spritz the toner around for the grand finale.
MOISTURIZE - face oil: Hello gorgeous. Triple C Face Oil, everywhere. Behind the ears, along the hair line, down the collar bones, over the lips. Radiant era activated.
