The Simple Start Skincare Routine

Before we get into the full routine, I want to show you the simplest version of skincare possible — the version most people can use forever.

If you don’t wear makeup, prefer a minimalist approach, or simply want to avoid the pitfalls of using too many products, this is the routine to start with.

Everything else in this book builds on this foundation. You can add more steps later if you want to, but you don’t have to.

This routine uses just two products:

  • Oil Cleanser
  • A moisturizer

That’s it.

You can follow this routine forever, or use it as a starting point before adding more steps later.

Evening Routine

1. Cleanse with Oil

The Oil Cleanser isn’t just for your face. Because it’s gentle, barrier‑safe, and microbiome‑friendly, you can also use it as a body cleanser and a hand cleanser. If you leave out essential oils, it’s suitable for all ages. It dissolves buildup without stripping, and it rinses clean with water. If you prefer a single product for multiple steps, this one can easily do all three.

2. Moisturize

Choose one and apply to slightly damp skin to lock in hydration.

  • Meadowfoam Oil
  • MCT Oil (best for fungal concerns)
  • Malassezia Moisturizer
  • Repair Cream
  • Face and Body Oil

Morning Routine

1. Cleanse (Optional)

If your skin feels clean, rinse with water only.

If you need a refresh, use Hydrating Cleanser or Oil Cleanser.

2. Moisturize

Apply your chosen moisturizer.

Why This Works

  • It protects the skin barrier.
  • It avoids irritation from too many actives.
  • It prevents over‑exfoliation.
  • It reduces microbiome disruption.
  • It saves time and money.
  • It’s ideal for sensitive, reactive, or overwhelmed skin.
  • It’s perfect for people who don’t wear makeup.
  • It’s a safe starting point for beginners.

Healthy skin thrives on simplicity.

When You Might Add More

This routine is complete on its own, but you may choose to add additional steps if you have specific goals:

Super Serum for pigmentation, sensitivity, barrier repair, or fine lines

Manuka Mud for gentle exfoliation and fungal support

Zit Zap for occasional breakouts

These are optional — not required.

Your skin will tell you when (or if) you need more.
