What if I have oily skin?
What if I have oily skin?
It might seem counterintuitive, but a face oil can actually help decrease your skin's excess oil production. Skin that has been stripped of its natural oils is out of balance and can compensate by producing too much oil. Applying a face oil can help correct this, leading to a balanced, even skin tone and texture.

Amber Elix is formulated using oils with a low or non-comedogenic rating, which means it will not clog your pores or cause breakouts. However, with any new product your skin might go through an adjustment period of about two weeks. We recommend waiting until after this period to assess how a product is working for your skin.

A day cream supplies moisture to the skin and if applied immediately after a face oil, the oil can hinder the moisture from entering the skin. It is best to apply your face oil after a day cream as the oil can help seal in moisture. If you apply a face oil first it is best to wait until it is fully absorbed until applying your day cream.
What is stressed skin?
What is stressed skin?
When our body is stressed it releases cortisol which has a negative effect on the skin. Cortisol breaks down important building blocks of the skin like collagen and elastin. This can lead to dull and tired looking skin. Stressed skin is more susceptible to environmental damage and can become irritated and inflamed easily.
How does a cleansing balm replace a traditional face wash?
How does a cleansing balm replace a traditional face wash?
Traditional face washes use harsh soaps to remove makeup, sunscreen and dirt. While effective, the harsh cleansers also strip your skin of its natural oils leading dryness and irritation. Our cleansing balm uses natural oils and butters to gently remove makeup and sunscreen. When activated by water the balm transforms and rinses away leaving your skin's natural oils in place. This leads to healthier, hydrated and better looking skin.
