How can I use NURTURE as a oil/ balm cleanser?
You can use NURTURE as a balm cleanser and makeup remover. To double cleanse, gently massage NURTURE into your skin using circular motions for about a minute, paying extra attention to areas where makeup tends to build up like the hairline and jawline. Next, use a warm, damp washcloth followed by a lukewarm rinse to remove the balm. Don’t worry if there is some residue; the second cleanse will take care of this. For the second cleanse, keep your skin damp and use PURIFY or CLEANSE. Massage the product in for about a minute, covering the same areas. Rinse thoroughly, pat dry, and immediately follow with your LINNÉ treatment products.
What is “slugging” and how do I do it?
Slugging is the process of applying an occlusive product, like oils and waxes, to create a physical barrier on your skin. This helps improve the skin barrier function and prevent trans-epidermal water loss. Adding an occlusive to your skincare routine can be particularly beneficial for those with dry, dehydrated, sun-damaged, or injured skin. As a protective agent, occlusives can also prevent irritation from environmental stressors such as wind and pollen. Applying an occlusive, or slugging, is often done as a final skincare step before bed but can be used during the day, especially in cold or dry climates. While occlusives prevent moisture loss, they aren’t necessarily humectants themselves, so it's beneficial to first hydrate your skin. We recommend starting with a generous misting of REFRESH mineral mist followed by RENEW serum. If desired, apply a face oil before slugging for additional nourishment. Finally, liberally apply SMOOTH or NURTURE balms to seal everything in.
Can I use NURTURE on my child?
These products are safe and recommended for babies and children over 6 weeks old. We believe less is more when it comes to newborn skin and advocate for infrequent baths using water only before 6 weeks of age. However, should your newborn have a diaper rash or need a veil of protection against dry climates, NURTURE and REPLENISH can be used in these first weeks. All ingredients in NURTURE are food-safe and can also be used on mother’s nipples while breastfeeding.
