Would natural oils make my skin more oily? Are natural oils good for the skin?
Natural oils (provided they are processed carefully and minimally), are amazing for the skin! Some oils can also help to regulate sebum production. If you are starting out using oils, we highly suggest using a lightweight oil like Argan or Rosehip first. Some oils can also help to regulate sebum production and actually helps to control oily skin. A lot of people are genuinely surprised at not just how effective oil-based skincare can be, but also at how light it feels!

Do you have a recommended skincare routine? What order should I apply the products in?
We recommend a minimal and simple 3+1 routine. Start your routine by cleansing with our Face Wash (optionally, you can also double cleanse). After that, tone by applying one of our Face Mists. Finally, apply a layer of our high quality oils.
As a bonus step, you might consider using our Tea Tree & Lemongrass Blemish Serum for blemishes and spots or our Turmeric & Lemon Eye Serum for some eye care.
You can get the entire routine with a free Root Remedies canvas bag here.
Does natural skincare take a longer time to be effective?
Surprisingly, no! A lot of our customers see visible results within 2 weeks, with continuous improvements after.
We suggest cutting down on other products when you start off using natural skin care, at least until you figure out if a product works for you. Sometimes, less really is more, by focusing on a few key products you will understand which products suit your skin better and figure out a perfect routine for your.
