At Food for Skin, we don't believe in a complex skincare routine where you use one product to repair the damage caused by another.
Three skincare products are all you need. Additionally, it's important to use sunscreen on sunny days. For some extra care, we have developed a peeling and eye cream. Food for Skin is for everyone, regardless of age, gender, skin type, or skin color.
When you start using Food for Skin, your skin may feel a bit drier, or you may experience pimples and blemishes. Don't be alarmed by this, but persevere! Your skin needs time to recover. Especially if you've used more aggressive products, your skin needs to get used to natural products. We recommend using the products for at least 3 weeks because your skin renews every 3-4 weeks. A trial set will be enough for this.
Evening routine:
- Wet your face. Apply 2-3 pumps of Carrot Cleanser to your hand and massage it in to cleanse your skin. Use a lukewarm wet washcloth to wipe your face with soft, circular motions. If you wear a lot of makeup, you can repeat this step (double cleanse).
- Apply 1-2 pumps of a Serum of your choice to your face, neck, and around your eyes.
- Protect your skin with the Tomato Base Cream. Take a pea-sized amount of cream and spread it over your face and neck.
Extra: twice a week in the evening, generously apply the serum of your choice to clean skin, without the Tomato Base Cream. This way, the serum acts as an overnight mask to provide extra nourishment to the skin.
Morning routine:
Repeat the steps above.
Good to know about the Carrot Cleanser:
- If you are not used to cleansing with oil, it may take some getting used to. It works easier/better if you wet your face before using the cleanser.
- The Carrot Cleanser can be safely used to remove eye makeup.
- Please note that the Carrot Cleanser cleanses and nourishes your skin, instead of just cleansing it. After cleansing, you will see that your face has a glow because it is clean and nourished with vitamins.
- You no longer need to buy cotton pads or makeup wipes, because you only need a warm, wet cloth to remove all dirt, makeup, and eye makeup.
Sunscreen
Shake the SPF before use
- First use: remove the seal from the tube by twisting off the cap.
- Apply a small amount to your fingertips.
- Apply to face and body.
- Repeat regularly, at least once every two hours.
After use: it is important to cleanse thoroughly with an oil-based product, such as our Shower Oil or Carrot Cleanser.
Avoid the sun between 12 and 3 pm, seek shade and wear protective clothing. Keep children out of direct sunlight as much as possible. Suitable for everyone from 6 months old.
The sunscreen is durable for up to 36 months after production. After opening, it can be kept for 12 months.
Water-resistant ≠ waterproof
Our mineral SPF is water-resistant. This means that the sunscreen continues to offer protection even while swimming. In an independent ISO test, an average of more than two-thirds of the original protection remained after 40 minutes of immersion.
Water-resistant is not the same as waterproof. No sunscreen will continue to protect equally well indefinitely during prolonged swimming, sweating, or towel drying. Due to movement, water, and drying, a small amount of the protective layer on the skin disappears each time.
Therefore, we recommend reapplying generously after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.
Apple Peeling
Use twice a week, preferably in the evening. Do you have sensitive skin? Then we advise you to first test how you react to it in your elbow.
1. Cleanse your face, for example with the Carrot Cleanser.
2. Use 1.5 pipettes and spread with your fingertips over your face and neck. Avoid contact with eyes.
3. Let it work for a maximum of 10 minutes.
4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
5. Then use a serum and cream.
6. Use an SPF30 to protect the exfoliated skin during the day.
In case of contact with eyes, rinse with water with open eyelids.
The Apple Peeling is durable for 36 months after production. 6 months after opening.
Rocket Eye Cream
1. Take an amount the size of a grain of rice and dab small dots under your eyes.
2. Gently tap the product into your skin.
3. Wait 2 minutes until fully absorbed before applying makeup.
The eye cream can be kept for 6 months after opening.
Body Bars
Wet the bar and rub it between your hands or directly on the skin to create a soft lather. Massage the lather over your body or hands and rinse with water.
After use, let the bar dry thoroughly, preferably on a dry soap dish, so that it lasts longer.
Elderberry Shower Oil
Step 1: take 1 pump of shower oil and rub it over wet skin or on a Loofah sponge.
Step 2: massage into the skin. The oil transforms into a milky substance.
Step 3: rinse off
