how to use
bliss is loaded with extremely rich oils which have strong aromas and thick textures. Even so, bliss is non-greasy, and is quickly absorbed into the skin leaving a matte, velvety sheen. It leaves a notable ‘presence’ which lasts most of the day, so if you are used to products that completely disappear, this will take getting used to.
daily use
bliss is equally effective on its own or added to your favourite face cream. Begin with 1-2 pumps added to your face cream and applied to the face, neck and chest, or 3-4 pumps when used on its own.
with mineral powder
Mineral powders love a moist skin surface. If you have tried organic mineral powders in the past and found them to look dry and flaky, bliss may help. Exfoliated and well hydrated skin gives you the perfect canvas for mineral powder. Simply apply, wait a few minutes for bliss to absorb, then lightly apply your favourite organic powder.
with liquid foundation
Liquid foundation needs less moisture, therefore less oil is needed. Begin with 2 pumps of bliss on its own, or 1 pump with your moisturiser leaving time to absorb before applying foundation. Cut back if necessary.
the 3 minute regimen
In our busy lifestyles, no one has the time for a complicated skincare routine. Let’s face it, you are more likely to skip your routine if it’s time consuming, so the idea is to keep it simple. By combinding this powerhouse of ingredients into one product, your routine should take no longer than 3 minutes, twice a day.
step one
Start off with a quick, thorough rub with a microfibre cloth. This helps eliminate dead skin buildup on a daily basis, thus helping the product penetrate deeper and more efficiently. Dead skin and debris absorb most of a product which is wasteful, so daily removal of this build up will ensure all of the rich nutrients get into the deeper layers where they can work their magic.
step two
Add bliss oil to your favourite face cream and apply over face, neck and chest including the eye are. bliss is gentle and should not irritate the fine skin around the eyes, but in cases of sensitivity it is wise to avoid. make the most of any excess product and rub it onto the back of your hands and onto cuticles.
tips
one
As your skin improves, you will find less need to cover it with foundation, and you’ll want to show off your new glowing complexion. With a cocktail of questionable ingredients in most foundations, this is a great goal to reach. If necessary, a light dusting of organic and skin friendly mineral powder is all you should need.
two
Don’t wait until bedtime for your night application – it is best done when you get home from your day’s work or before dinner. This ensures that you are not too tired and likely to skip your routine, and also gives ample time for your products to absorb and not simply end up on your pillow!
three
Drink water! It’s free, easily accessed, and essential for every aspect of health, especially anti-ageing. Think of Hygroscopy, the phenomenon of water attracting water. When your organs and cells are well hydrated on the inside, the moisture rich products you apply on your skin are ‘pulled’ deep to a cellular level. Dehydration on the other hand will cause cells to shrivel, thus accelerating the ageing process. Remember, a great product can only do so much on its own, so aim to drink plenty of water daily.
