Everything you need you know about Sea Buckthorn Oil
Read MoreThe magic of Sea Buckthorn Oil
You may have seen this ingredient all over your go to skincare products, but do you actually know what it’s good for? Let’s take a dive into the endless possibilities of Sea Buckthorn oil. Extracted from the berries of the sea buckthorn plant, this golden-hued oil is packed with a myriad of benefits for your skin. From rejuvenation to protection, sea buckthorn oil has earned its reputation as a beauty medicinal potion, especially on products that are aimed at decreasing fine lines and wrinkles. As we explore its incredible benefits, we will also discover why it is a perfect addition to face oils, and speak about the various ways you can incorporate it into your skincare routine. You can find sea buckthorn oil in one of best selling face oils “Wrinkle No More”.
Let's take a look at it's many benefits
Rejuvenates and Nourishes
Sea buckthorn oil is a powerhouse of nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and E, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants. When all of these components are packed in 1 product, they work synergistically to nourish and revitalize the skin, resulting to a youthful and radiant complexion. Sea Buckthorn contains such a high concentration of vitamin C that it stimulates collagen production, while vitamins A and E provide deep hydration and protect against environmental damage. If you use a small amount of sea buckthorn on a regular basis, it can absolutely help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while deeply moisturizing the skin for a smoother and plumper texture. You can use the Wrinkle No More on a daily basis morning and night as your facial moisturizer.
Enhances Skin Healing
You may be wondering why it has healing properties, but first let’s talk about what omega-7 fatty acids are. Omega-7 fatty acids are a type of monounsaturated fat that provide nourishment and support for various body functions, including skin health.Sea buckthorn is packed with omega-7 fatty acids, which makes it a skin healing oil. These fatty acids aid in the regeneration of skin cells, making it a valuable ingredient in addressing various skin concerns. Whether you're dealing with acne scars, sunburns, or eczema, sea buckthorn oil can help accelerate the healing process and minimize inflammation from that skin irritation. Its nourishing properties help repair the skin's barrier, leaving it healthier and more vibrant.
Protects Against Environmental Damage
What are environment stressors? Environmental stressors are considered to be those external factors that can negatively impact the health and appearance of the skin, such as: ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, air pollution, harsh weather conditions (such as extreme cold or heat), cigarette smoke, toxins, free radicals, and other pollutants present in the environment. These factors can lead to skin damage, inflammation, premature aging, and a compromised skin barrier. Do you ever feel “icky” after a long day of working outdoors, and all you need to feel better is along bath, a body scrub and a facial? Well, that’s your skin telling you that it’s been affected. One of the main benefits of sea buckthorn oil is its ability to shield the skin from environmental stressors. The oil forms a protective barrier that defends against harmful UV rays, pollution, and free radicals. Sea buckthorn oil's antioxidant properties neutralize free radicals, preventing oxidative damage and premature aging signs. By protecting the skin from external aggressors, sea buckthorn oil supports the overall health and resilience of your skin. Therefore, daily use of the Wrinkle No More provides a protective shield for these external stressors that we cannot really control.
Balances and Soothes the Skin
Sea buckthorn oil possesses natural astringent properties that regulate oil production and balance the skin's sebum levels. Let’s pause for a second. What does astringent mean? When we talk about skincare, an astringent is often used to describe a product or ingredient that helps to tighten or shrink the skin's pores. This makes it a valuable addition to face oils, especially for those with oily or combination skin since astringents work by removing excess oil, debris, and impurities from the skin, resulting in a temporary firming or toning effect. By providing the right balance of moisture, sea buckthorn oil helps prevent excessive oiliness without stripping the skin of its natural oils. Furthermore, its anti-inflammatory properties help soothe skin irritations, reduce redness, and alleviate conditions such as rosacea and dermatitis.
Brightens and Evens Out Skin Tone
If you are one of the girlies and gents who struggle with hyperpigmentation, dullness, or uneven skin tone, a product that contains sea buckthorn oil can be a game-changer and a major add-on to your skincare routine. Vitamin C is a top ingredient when it comes to brightening the complexion, fading dark spots, and improving skin tone over time, and since Sea Buckthorn is composed of Vitamin C, you may want to consider it. Regular use of sea buckthorn oil can help even out pigmentation, leaving you with a more radiant and youthful glow.
Why Sea Buckthorn Oil is Ideal for Face Oils
Sea buckthorn oil's unique composition and benefits make it an excellent choice for face oils. Here's why it stands out.
- Lightweight Texture: It’s lightweight texture allows the product to be easily absorbed into the skin without leaving a greasy residue, something a lot of us are afraid of. But the truth is that the ingredient is actually suitable for all skin types, including oily and combination skin, as it doesn't clog pores or cause congestion.
- Synergistic Blending: Sea buckthorn oil blends well with other carrier oils and essential oils commonly used in face oils. Its vibrant orange color and natural aroma complement other ingredients, enhancing the sensory experience and efficacy of the face oil blend. The Wrinkle No More is compromised of top notch oils that truly make it the perfect add on to your skin care routine.

Summer is practically here and we can’t leave you hanging. After all, we are from the prettiest island in the world, where the sun hits, and tanning comes in naturally. So we want to share some secrets with you. We know how important protecting you skin from UV rays are but we also know how tanning is practically a hobby for most of us during the summer time, where you are where the sun is shining.
To top this off, we want to start by emphasizing that we believe that tanning is your dose of vitamin D, and that bronzed color, but also a time to moisturize your body while you lying on the beach chair. While tanning is a popular summer activity, it's important to understand that it can also be harmful to your skin if we don’t approach it the right way.
This is where the beauty of natural oils comes into play. Unlike conventional tanning products that can strip the skin of moisture, natural oils keep your skin supple, smooth, and beautifully hydrated throughout your tanning journey. Taking advantage of nature’s raw natural oils offers so many benefits that not only enhances your bronzed look but also nurtures and protect your skin. Say goodbye to harsh chemicals and embrace the beauty and benefits of natural ingredients as we explore why using natural oils to tan during the summer is an add on to a healthy glow.

Deep nourishment and hydration
Natural and rich oils are are rich in vitamins and nutrients that really penetrates deep into the skin's layers, replenishing moisture and promoting a healthier complexion. Silky smooth that last longer than lotion.
Gentle Sun Protection
This can be a bit tricky, but “I’ve had so many people tell me that they’ve achieved the tan they are looking for without getting a sunburn, when they use Babe Essentials Tanning Oil”, says founder Alexa. Although natural oils do not contain SPF, some of then do have sun-blocking abilities such as carrot and olive oil, which adds that extra layer of defense against harmful UV rays.
Smooth Canvas for a radiant tan
The nourishing elements in natural oils can accelerate the tanning process, helping you achieve your desired bronzed look in a shorter time, which means less time to achieve what you are looking for.
Healing and rejuvenating properties

So natural oils can be used before a tan and after a tan to keep protecting your skin.
Here are out top choices of natural oils that make the best tanning oil for perfect summer bronzed glowing skin.
Coconut Oil
First of all, coconut oil is known to deeply hydrate your skin, while keeping it hydrated and smooth while you tan. Additionally, it has natural SPF qualities that provide a low amount of UV protection and lower the likelihood of sunburn. In addition, because coconut oil attracts and holds sunshine, it can speed up and improve the development of your tan. Its nourishing qualities aid in maintaining an even, long-lasting tan, while its calming and soothing properties lessen any irritation brought on by the sun. Last but not least, coconut oil is bursting with antioxidants that support healthy skin and guard against early aging brought on by UV exposure. Consequently, using coconut oil allows you to not only get a lovely tan but also nourish and protect your skin for a radiant and healthy glow.
Carrot Oil
Carrot oil tanning has several skin-friendly properties, making it a great option for people looking for a safe and efficient tanning solution. Beta-carotene, a potent antioxidant that helps shield the skin from free radicals and UV damage, is abundant in carrot oil. By promoting the formation of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color, it aids in developing a deep, golden tan. A more vivid and long-lasting tan is the outcome of this. Carrot oil is also well recognized for its moisturizing qualities, which keep your skin hydrated and prevent dryness when exposed to the sun. Your skin's overall elasticity and smoothness can be improved by its renewing properties, leaving it glowing and smooth. You can nurture your skin while getting a gorgeous tan with carrot oil.

Olive Oil is perhaps the most underrated carrier oils in skin care. It has so many benefits and is one one of the best oils to use when tanning under the sun. Packed with antioxidants and vitamins, such as vitamin E, are responsible for protecting the the skin from free radicals and lessen the negative and dangerous effects of sun exposure. Like many other oils mentioned in this blog, olive oil, despite its strong smell, intensely hydrates and nourishes the skin while preventing dryness. While tanning, it enhances the sun’s rays to the skin while also protecting it. It keeps the skin's moisture balance, while encouraging an even and long-lasting tan. Olive oil also has calming and soothing properties that make it perfect for minimizing the redness and irritation brought on by sunburn. When tanning with olive oil, you not only achieve a beautiful tan but also provide your skin with essential nutrients and hydration for a healthy and glowing complexion.
Grapeseed Oil
Grapeseed oil is super lightweight and easily absorbed, making it ideal for sunbathing or obtaining a long lasting tan. It is rich in antioxidants, such as vitamin E and proanthocyanidins, which help protect the skin from free radicals and sun damage, reducing the risk of premature aging. The oil is so moisturizing and hydrating that your skin will be silky smooth throughout your whole tanning session. Grapeseed oil also contains linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid, which is an important factor in maintaining the skin’s barrier function. Essentially this is the result of a healthier and glowing complexion from head to toe. Additionally, the oil's light texture allows for even application and absorption of sunlight, leading to a more uniform and long-lasting tan. With grapeseed oil, you not only achieve a beautiful tan but also nourish and protect your skin for a radiant and healthy glow.

Sesame oil is known for its rich antioxidant properties, including vitamin E and sesamol, which help protect the skin against free radicals and UV damage. This helps decrease the signs of premature aging and maintain an overall youthful complexion. Sesame oil is so hydrating and nourishing to the skin, preventing dryness by leaving it smooth and supple. Sesame oil also contains natural SPF properties, offering a mild level of sun protection and reducing the risk of sunburn. The reason we love this oil is because it has a light and airy texture, not making it too thick for the pores, which makes it easy to be alien and absorbed by the skin, facilitating an even and long-lasting tan. To add to its wonderful benefits, sesame contains anti-inflammatory properties, soothing the skin and reducing redness and irritation caused by sun exposure.

A Simple & Effective Skincare Routine - What you actually need.
Read MoreHow to Achieve Radiant Skin with Easy Rituals: A Comprehensive Guide
Everyone wants to have radiant skin, but not everyone knows how to get it. A good skincare routine is essential for achieving a healthy and glowing complexion. Here is a comprehensive guide on how to achieve radiant skin, including tips for cleansing, exfoliating, toning, moisturizing, using serums, and protecting your skin from the sun. But let’s make it easy for you. Sometimes the word “skincare routine” can be overwhelming or intimidating. Here at Babe Essentials, we are taking you back to the basics.
Step 1: Cleanse
First, let’s ask ourselves this question… Do you really need to cleanse your skin twice a day? Our simple answer is: it depends on your skin type and of course your lifestyle. We prefer opting out in the morning. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, you may need to wash your face twice a day to remove excess oil and dirt. However, if you have dry or sensitive skin, washing your face twice a day can be too harsh and can strip away your skin's natural oils. In this case, you may want to simply rinse your skin with micellar or regular room temperature water.
Speaking of cleansing, we know that it’s the first step to any good skincare routine. Cleansing removes dirt, oil, and makeup from your skin, leaving it clean and refreshed. The Babe Essentials “Daily Dose” is pure castile soap that is gentle and made for all skin types. If you have dry skin, using castile soap once a day is all you need. You may want to look for a creamy or lotion-based cleanser, with natural and clean ingredients of course. If you have oily skin, the Daily Dose is perfect. We believe in fragrance free products, so whatever cleanser you decide to use,
Step 2: Exfoliate Your Skin Once or Twice a Week
We said it before and we’ll say it again! Do not exfoliate your skin every day. Exfoliating helps to remove dead skin cells and reveal the fresh, new skin underneath. This can help to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and make your skin look brighter. Choose a chemical exfoliant or a gentle physical scrub.
There are 2 types of exfoliants: Chemical and Physical Chemical exfoliants work by breaking down the bonds that hold dead skin cells together, and these include alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), such as glycolic acid and lactic acid, and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), such as salicylic acid. Physical exfoliants work by physically removing dead skin cells from the surface of the skin and come in a variety of forms, including scrubs, gloves, and brushes. Always go for the gentle exfoliant. Don’t overdue it!
Step 3: Use a Toner
We love toners here at Babe Essentials. A toner helps to restore your skin's pH balance and remove any remaining dirt or oil. Look for a toner that is alcohol-free and contains hydrating ingredients. Some common ingredients found in toners include aloe vera, rose water, and glycerin.
In the past, toners were primarily used to restore the skin's pH balance after cleansing. However, modern toners offer a variety of additional benefits and have been developed to address a wide range of skin concerns. Toners are formulated to hydrate, exfoliate, shrink pores, regulate oil production, calm and brighten the skin.
The Babe tonics include the ingredients of Aloe or Rose Water. Both tonics are packed with natural source of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. You can’t go wrong, especially if you have sensitive skin. Our toners are free from toxic chemicals and alcohol. You can get your hands on The Tonic Duo to have the best of both worlds.
Step 4: Apply a Serum
Serums are concentrated formulas that can target specific skin concerns. If you have dry skin, look for a serum that contains hyaluronic acid. If you have acne-prone skin, look for a serum that contains salicylic acid. If you have hyperpigmentation, look for a serum that contains vitamin C.
Serums are usually lightweight and are quickly absorbed by the skin. Serums can be used to address a variety of skin concerns, including: acne, age spots, dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles, dry, oily, and sensitive skin.
Choose between our 2 serums:
The Cure: Rich in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, and antioxidants, our Aloe Clarifying Serum hydrates, soothes, nourishes, calms irritation, prevents and treats acne, heals and repairs, prevents fine lines, and evens out skin tone.
Vita-C: This is a 2-in-2 Vitamin C serum and tonic that is ultra-hydrating, and formulated to brighten the skin. We created this serum especially for your morning skincare routine. The benefits are endless but here are the main reasons you would want to use a vitamin c serum: Fades dark spots and acne marks, provides a healthy glow, boost collagen production, soothes and hydrates, and aids as an anti-aging add on.
Step 5: Moisturize Your Skin Every Day
Moisturizing is essential for keeping your skin hydrated and healthy. Look for a moisturizer that is appropriate for your skin type and contains ingredients that will help to nourish your skin. Some common ingredients found in moisturizers include ceramides, peptides, and natural oils.
At Babe Essentials we love face oils: We have one for each skin type. Here, you can read more about why we love face oils and why you shouldn’t be afraid to use them. Choose between these 3 face oils to use as your everyday moisturizer.
Step 6: Wear Sunscreen Every Day
Sunscreen is the most important step in any skincare routine. It helps to protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays, which can cause premature aging, skin cancer, and other sun-related damage. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher every day, even on cloudy days.
Here, you can find all of our skincare routines, curated for your specific skin type.

If you don’t have access to the Aloe plant, you can find a natural or pure aloe gel at your grocery store. Rule of thumb: If you’re purchasing an aloe vera gel, make sure the ingredients are natural and pure. Apply a thin layer of the gel on your face and leave it on as your moisturizer.
One of Babe Essentials’ best seller is The Cure Aloe Vera Gel, packed with enzymes, Vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory essential oils that help calm & reduce irritation, acne and breakouts.

Benefits of Glycerin For Skincare
Read MoreThe Amazing Benefits of Glycerin for Healthy Glowing Skin
In today's world, where people are increasingly concerned about the health of their skin, the demand for top-notch skincare remedies and products has skyrocketed. Among the myriad options available, glycerin has emerged as a highly effective ingredient in various skincare products. Let's delve into what makes glycerin so remarkable in the realm of skincare.
If you are someone who constantly suffers from dry and tight, prepare to be amazed by what glycerin can do for you. While it may not be the first ingredient that comes to mind when you think of popular moisturizing agents, a closer look at the ingredient lists of leading skincare products reveals that glycerin is a staple in almost everything. When we first started formulated our products, glycerin was a staple ingredient in all of our products that aid in replenishing dry skin.
But what is it about glycerin that makes it such a powerful skincare component, sought after by renowned brands? Let's uncover the secrets below!
What is Glycerin?
Glycerin is a white, thick, and viscous fluid derived from both plants and animals. In most cases, skincare products utilize plant-based or synthetic glycerin for topical application. Here at Babe Essentials, we use plant-based glycerin.
As a humectant, glycerin retains moisture within the skin by drawing water from the innermost layers to the outer surface. Moreover, its key role is to attract moisture from the surrounding atmosphere, ensuring that your skin stays hydrated and nourished. Hydration is the key word when we talk about glycerin.
You might be wondering about the best ways to incorporate glycerin into your facial routine. Well, the beauty of glycerin lies in its versatility—it can be found in a range of formulations, including toners, serums, cleansers, moisturizers, face masks, and soaps. Babe Essentials offers a selection of glycerin-rich products, such as our soap bars, our face toners, our serums, and our body scrubs. We pretty much use glycerin in everything.
The Beauty Benefits of Glycerin
Youthful Radiance
Glycerin can be found in numerous skincare products, particularly moisturizers. As a humectant, it has the remarkable ability to attract and retain moisture by drawing water from the environment. Additionally, glycerin serves as a natural emollient, effectively softening and smoothing the skin. By enhancing skin elasticity, glycerin helps diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, leaving you with a youthful and vibrant complexion.
Acne Fighter
Contrary to common misconceptions, glycerin does not cause acne. In fact, it helps combat acne-related concerns.
Acne is a prevalent skin condition, especially among young individuals, often triggered by hormonal changes and stress. Fortunately, simple measures can control and reduce acne. Glycerin is one such measure that can aid in your battle against acne. As a prevalent ingredient in skincare products, glycerin acts as a superb moisturizer and humectant. It keeps the skin moisturized while assisting in regulating excess oil production.
Moreover, glycerin possesses antibacterial properties that help control the growth of acne-causing bacteria. For even better results, you can combine glycerin with other skincare products, such as tea tree oil, to further reduce acne occurrences.
We've made it easy for you Babes! Our best seller face serum The Cure is packed with acne fighting ingredients that will truly make a difference in your skincare rituals.
Skin Healing Wonder
Glycerin is renowned for its exceptional skin-healing properties. It effectively softens the skin and offers significant benefits for individuals with both dry and oily skin types. Those suffering from eczema and other forms of dermatitis can rely on glycerin to keep their skin hydrated, soothe redness, and alleviate irritation caused by these conditions.
Moisture Magic
As a humectant, glycerin works wonders in ensuring optimal skin hydration. That's precisely why it has become one of the most sought-after ingredients in skincare products. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with dry skin, as it helps restore moisture balance on the skin's surface.

With people becoming more and more cautious towards their skin and body, it has become important for them to choose the right self care products and follow a ritual that best suits their skin type to get the best results. Want to know how? Well, keep reading this post to discover more.
Eye cream before or after moisturizer? Serum before or after the mask? Face oil or serum first? Most of you must have come across these questions while following any skincare routine. What’s the way out? Here's a rule of thumb: Layer your products by starting off with the thinner textures first.
Well, what can we say? Everyone is different. Sot the short answer is: There's really no "best" way. It's about listening to your body. However, we can show you the best ways that have been proven to be more effective when applying so many products on your skin and body. Here we will talk about the right order, the duration, and the knowledge of applying different skin care products. We'll make it easy to understand... we promise!
If you have always failed to implement the accurate morning or night time skincare routine, we will also go into a deeper dive on how to set up your skincare routine in the right way.
A Healthy Skincare Routine
Step 1: Cleanser
The first step is to wash your face! The role of a face wash in a skincare routine is essential for maintaining healthy, clean, and balanced skin. Essentially what it does as the first step is: remove the impurities, makeup, dead skin cells, oil, dirt and other types of pollutants that your skin endured.
Cleansing the skin, controlling oil, maintaining hydration, prepping the skin for other products, and providing a refreshing and soothing experience are the main benefits of a face wash. It's an essential step towards achieving and maintaining healthy, radiant skin.
The Daily Dose Purifying Facial Cleanser is a face wash we swear by. 100% organic, and natural Castile soap is a multi-purpose product that not just removes impurities from the skin but also maintains its pH. The natural ingredients in Castile soap is rich in antioxidants and fatty acids that help moisturize and nourish the skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple. When used as a face wash, Castile soap provides a mild and effective cleansing action, removing dirt, oil, and impurities without stripping the skin of its natural oils.
Step 2: Toner
The primary role of toner in the skincare routine is to rejuvenate your skin without eliminating its natural moisture. It also preps the skin to absorb the rest of your routine. Hint: Always apply your face serum on a damp skin from the toner. When your skin is slightly damped, your skin absorbs the following products better with a deeper penetration.
Here are a few toning benefits we simply love, and this is why it's a major step that we don't want to miss out on:
- Helps to restore the skin's natural pH balance
- Strengthen its natural protective barrier
- Acts as a secondary cleanser, effectively removing these impurities and ensuring a thorough cleansing process
- Tighten and minimize the appearance of pores
- Contain humectants, which help to attract and retain moisture in the skin
- Provides an added layer of hydration, leaving the skin plump, refreshed, and prepped for other products
- Soothing and calming properties
At Babe Essentials, we have you covered with 2 amazing facial toners.
The Rose Tonic will help to remove excess dirt, traces of oil, balance the skin’s pH level, and reduce the presence of pores. Rose water is an ingredient more people should take advantage of. It has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe irritated and sensitive skin, and is particularly beneficial for reducing redness, inflammation, and skin conditions such as rosacea and eczema. Rose water also contains antioxidants that play a big role in controlling premature aging, fine lines, and wrinkles.
The Aloe Tonic on the other hand is made from Aloe Vera. Aloe is known to soothe and calm any skin reactions or irritations. If you had a long day under the sun, run straight to aloe vera, packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that nourish the skin and support its healing process.
Step 3: Serum
Serums are essentially the combination of concentrated nutrients, hydrators, and antioxidants that treat and soothe the skin. The role of a serum is to treat a specific concern by penetrating deeply into the skin, provide nourishment, hydration, and repair, while also offering brightening, even-toning, and antioxidant protection. There are so many serums you can choose from, but you know we love to keep it simple with the most natural ingredients.
We have 2 serums that you can benefit from: The Cure Clarifying Serum and the Vita-C Vitamin C Milky Serum. You can also get them as a set right here.
The Cure Aloe Clarifying Facial Serum boosts your skin and keeps it hydrated, while also targeting those who have acne-prone skin. This serum will help regulate oil production, while also preventing breakouts, and treating acne and acne scars.
The Vita-C is a serum we like to incorporate in the morning to boost glow, and brighten the skin. The purpose of a vitamin C serum is to brighten the complexion, even out skin tone, and provide antioxidant protection against environmental damage.
Step 4: Eye Serum
After applying a layer of your serum, now comes treating the eye area. We always neglect that art of the routine, thinking that other products were applied there, but sometimes, products never really make it to the smallest parts of your face. This area is prone to various concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness, dark circles, and dryness. So let's give it some love.
Step 5: Moisturizer and/or Face Oil
You've properly heard it a million times. Don't forget to moisturize your skin. The role of moisturizer in skincare is to improve skin hydration, cover small skin fissures, soothe protective film and prevent skin friction. Moisturizers are formulated with ingredients like humectants, emollients, and occlusives, which work together to attract, seal in, and retain moisture in the skin.
At Babe Essentials, we love a good facial oil to seal your skincare routine, and we have one for each and every skin type. And no! A face oil doesn't make your skin greasy or oily, just listen to your skin and body. If it doesn't work for you, then don't use it.
The Rescue for Oily, acne-prone and irritated skin
Wrinkle No More for those who want to take extra care of their fine lines
Multitasker for all skin types, especially those with dry skin.
Face oils as a protective barrier that works to lock all the ingredients you just applied to your skin so that they don’t evaporate quickly and leave the skin silky and smooth. The reason why face oil is applied at last is that the oil has a thick texture due to which no products can penetrate oil.
Step 7: Sunscreen on in the AM routine
Sunscreens are one of the most crucial parts of the skincare routine. However, often people remain confused about the application of sunscreen-they have questions like, “do you put moisturizer before sunscreen”, or “why is sunscreen applied after oil”, then here are the answers to all questions.
Yes, the moisturizer and face oil are applied before sunscreen because the role of sunscreen is to protect your face and combat external impurities. It acts as a barrier between the external world and your face. Although, there are many moisturizers and foundations available in the market with a considerable amount of SPF, the required level of SPF on our face is SPF 30.
FINAL WORDS
To recap on the above... always listen to your skin. Everyone is different, but don't neglect your skin from powerful and natural ingredients. A consistent skincare routine can truly do wonders to your skin. Just remember the basic steps: Clean, Tone, Treat, Target, Moisturize.
Here you can find 3 Skincare Routine Sets Formulated just for you.

Read MoreBODY OILS VS BODY LOTIONS
Find out why we are obsessed with body oils instead of lotion base moisturizers
If you had to choose between body oils or body lotions what would you choose? The truth is that both are beneficial to the health of the skin, of course both would need to contain beneficial and natural ingredients that are effective in the skin’s health. You may already know that we are suckers for oils. In this article, we will point out the benefits of using body oils as oppose to lotion base moisturizers. We will also dive into their differences, and why we believe that body oils are the way to go.
Let’s talk about the differences.
A body oil and a body lotion have one main goal, and that is to moisturize the skin. You might be now wondering what makes them different then? They become separate based on the benefits they bring to the table, and of course the texture of both are different, which in fact does make a difference on the skin’s health. Because of their nature, body oils quickly penetrate the skin once applied and do an exceptional job at replenishing the moisture that the skin lost. When body oils are used immediately after bathing on damp skin, the oil acts a sealant, thus locking moisture deep within the skin.
Body lotions on the other hand hydrate the skin because of their water base nature but moreover provide specific benefits based on particular skin issues. Body lotions are great at sealing in moisture and absorbing water into the skin.
The difference truly stands based on the need for your skin at a particular time.
The Benefits of Body Oil
One of the significant benefits of using oil on your skin instead of body lotion is the nutrients it transports directly to the skin. Other fantastic benefits include:
- The Ability to Naturally Normalize The Production Of Sebum.Body Oils are similar to the natural oils found within our skin. This proves beneficial because it repairs and reconstructs your skin's moisture barrier that creates oil production.
- Strengthens Skin. The use of oil on skin builds a protective barrier that enhances the skin and protects it from moisture loss, thus effectively repairing and maintaining the skin.
- Organic Cold Pressed Oils are Free of Chemicals.A lot of lotions are made with preservatives and chemicals that can be toxic. Natural cold-pressed oils tend to be free of harmful ingredients because they are straight from the earth and need no additives to maintain their shelf life, like lotions.
The Benefits of Body Lotion
Though body oils offer more incredible natural benefits to improve skin, lotions too address specific skin issues and improve the skin's moisture balance.
- Improves the appearance of dry skin. When body lotion is directly applied to the skin because of its water content, it aids in keeping skin hydrated and moisturized due to its oil and water content. However, don't forget that the other ingredients in some lotions are not organic and from natural sources.
- A quick way to re-moisturize skin.Lotions provide a quick moisturizing boost to the skin when on the go and faced with dryness. Though oils are more superior in providing long-lasting moisture, lotions can give you a top-up when on the go.
- Soothes skin aggravations. Lotions can provide nourishing skin aids to soothe the skin types that are sensitive.
Why do we prefer body oils?
As you consider making the switch from body lotion to body oil consider these options:
- Your skin will experience better moisture retention. Body oils provide better opportunities for your skin to be moisturized; even if you suffer from acne or oily skin, it naturally aids in balancing the production of sebum, thus limiting the occurrence of your skin overproducing oil that leads to breakouts.
- Your skin will be able to heal damages better. Body oils provide a natural moisture barrier that repairs skin and prevents skin from becoming damaged.
- Prevents free radical and other environmental damage. The use of body oils provides better protection against premature aging signs like fine lines and wrinkles.
- Nourishes skin. The use of oils exposes skin to soak in more nutrient-rich properties like vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals.Body oils are also known to provide anti-inflammatory benefits when applied to skin.
- Free of Chemical and artificial ingredients. Many harmful chemicals like parabens are added to lotions to prevent bacteria growth within the product.
- Moisturizes while providing aromatherapy benefits. When oils are applied to the skin it hydrates as well as provide holistic healing to ease possible stress and anxiety being experienced.
The truth is that both body oils and body lotions provide exceptional benefits to boost the skin's health. However, we still prefer the use of body oils. We believe that it simply provides all the positive benefits with a better potential of healing and nourishing the skin long-term without harmful chemicals.
As you consider to make this important switch from body lotion to body oils you can be comforted in the fact that Babe Essentials has the health of your skin covered with Antidote, Jet Setter Body Oil and Fresher Than You.
The benefits these oils offer for your body and mind are unmatched!
Benefits of Face Serums

Hopefully this convinces you to start adding a clean, effective, and toxic free serum to your routines.
- Calm skin reaction from sensitive skin
When you have sensitive skin, you are likely to face redness, itchiness, or rashes on your skin. People with sensitive skin tend to react easily and quicker to external factors, or even products that may not fit to your skin type. To calm your skin of such concerns, incorporating a light, and chemical free serum will be helpful. People tend to think that using over the counter creams, harsh ingredients, and even expensive skin products will help in reducing the reaction, but it’s actually the contrary.
So, when the skin is damaged and is extra sensitive to chemical products, you can improve it by adding a face serum with ingredients that are calming, such as aloe. The most natural ingredients are usually the better solution.A good face serum will helpin reducing inflammation and irritation by soothing the irritated and stressed skin.

Anti-aging concerns such as: dark spots, fine lines under the eyes, wrinkles, dark circles and pigmentation are all treated with the use of good and beneficial anti-aging face serum. This will be benficial for rough, flaky, and dull skin. A good serum will contain active ingredients such as vitamin C, E, A, glycerin, Hyaluronic acid and more. All these active ingredients will improve the texture of your skin, tone and firm and boost hydration and brightness.
- Help in oil buildup
When we talk about the usage of face serums, the question arises as to what is a face serum used for, and who can use a face serum? Some of you may be confused if you are a candiate for a good face serum or not, especially if you have sensitive or even oily skin. Some people avoid face serums that contain any fatty acids or oils because of their oily skin. Oil based serums will not make your skin even more oily. On the contrary, adding moisture and hydration is key to helathy looking skin. A good face serum will actually control the your skin’s natural oil production.
- Control blemishes
As far as skin and skin-related issues are concerned, acne is one of the most common problems. Most of us have experienced acne at some point in our lives. Whether moderate or severe, acne tend to leave blemishes (a mark on the skin) once they disappear from your skin. One can argue that acne left a mark on your skin, claiming its territory. You might fail to achieve flawless skin due to blemishes, scars, and pimples. But there is always a solution. At Babe Esentials, the natural way is always the solution.
Investing in a natural base facial serum that is formulated with acne-fighting ingredients, will keep your skin blemish-free. It will also aid n unclogging pores, absorbing excess oils, and decreasing breakouts. You should also ensure that the face serum you choose should have powerful ingredients such as Sulphur, BHA’s, and zinc oxide so that you get clearer flawless skin.
- Boost Hydration
You often hear how hydration is the key to flawless skin. Yes yu can drink water all day, but what you topically apply on your skin makes a big difference. Therefore, when you purchase your face serum, it is important to read for the ingredients that are ultra high in hydration to get a daily dose of moisture and obtain the dewiest skin. To bost even more hydration and moisture, you can add a natural moisturizer right after the serum. We love to use a good facial oil to sea; the skincare regimen as the last and final step.
How to use a face serum?
Now that you know some of the benefits, the application is also key to getting the most out of your serum. It is completely safe to use one to two different serums morning and night. A serum can be applied right after you tone your skin with your facal toner. For optimal absoroption, apply the serum while you skin is a bit damped from the toner. Whether you are dealing with anti-aging issues or blemishes on your skin, you can add the use of facial serums to your skincare regimen to get the flawless skin you need and want.
