Say Hello to Glow

It depends on your #1 skin goal right now:

• Uneven tone / Dark spots → Brightening Duo (Serum + Lotion)

• Fine lines / Mature skin → Glowing Serum

• Dehydration / Loss of bounce → PlantMucin Essence

• Dullness / Lack of radiance → Daytime Radiance Maracuja Oil

• Dry, stressed, or sagging skin → Black Currant Restorative Face Cream

With daily use (2–4 drops per application), a 1 oz serum usually lasts 6–8 weeks. All serums are best used within 6 months of opening. Store in a cool, dark place away from heat and direct sunlight.

At Rooted in Love Farm, we focus on natural, clean skincare. That means we use Ecocert-approved and naturally derived preservatives — powerful enough to protect our products and ensure safety, but free from harsh or harmful chemicals often found in conventional skincare that is made to sit on shelves much longer. This allows us to deliver formulas that are effective, safe, and true to our values of clean beauty.

Here are six examples of the most common dual skin concerns and our recommendations.

1. Dry or Dehydrated Skin

Hydrate: PlantMucin Essence
Treat: Glowing Serum (nourishing oils + elasticity)
Moisturize: Black Currant Restorative Cream or Lavender Lullaby Night Cream
Use When: Daily, AM + PM
Why: Deep hydration + barrier support + long-lasting moisture.

2. Dull Skin + Uneven Tone (Brightening)

Hydrate: PlantMucin Essence
Treat: Brightening Duo Serum
Moisturize: Brightening Duo Lotion
Use When: PM preferred, 3–5 nights/week
Why: Fades dark spots with clinically proven TXA, Kojic Acid, and Alpha Arbutin in one layering system when used together.

3. Fine Lines + Mature Skin

Hydrate: PlantMucin Essence
Treat: Glowing Serum (restorative oils + elasticity support)
Moisturize: Black Currant Restorative Cream or Illuminate Green Tea Face Cream
Why: Deep nourishment + antioxidant repair for smoother, firmer-looking skin.

4. Nighttime Nourishment

Hydrate: PlantMucin Essence
Treat: Glowing Serum (restorative oils that support elasticity and overnight repair)
Moisturize: Lavender Lullaby Night Cream (deep hydration + calming botanicals for optimal overnight recovery)
Why: This pairing delivers your richest nourishment — Glowing Serum provides reparative oils while Lavender Lullaby seals in moisture, calms the skin, and supports a smoother, softer complexion by morning.

5. Dull Skin + Dry/Barrier-Depleted Skin

Hydrate: PlantMucin Essence
Treat: Maracuja Oil Daytime Radiance (lightweight brightening oil that restores glow and smooths fine lines)
Moisturize: Black Currant Restorative Cream (rich, barrier-repairing cream that deeply nourishes and comforts dryness)
Why: This duo targets two concerns at once — dullness and dryness. Maracuja boosts radiance and softness, while Black Currant improves resilience and locks in lasting moisture, leaving skin luminous, cushioned, and restored.

6. Wrinkles + Loss of Firmness

Hydrate: PlantMucin Essence
Treat: Glowing Serum (restorative oils that support elasticity, smooth fine lines, and improve skin suppleness)
Moisturize: Black Currant Restorative Cream or Lavender Lullaby Night Cream (deep nourishment that strengthens the barrier and supports overnight repair)
Why: This combination targets two key signs of aging — wrinkles and reduced firmness. Glowing Serum delivers elasticity-supporting oils, while your chosen moisturizer provides rich hydration to plump, cushion, and visibly smooth the skin for a more lifted, youthful appearance.

THE STEPS. Your best skin starts with a simple, intentional routine. Each step builds on the one before it — cleansing away impurities, replenishing hydration, delivering targeted treatments, and sealing everything in for long-lasting radiance and protection. Follow this order daily for healthy, balanced, beautifully prepped skin:

Clean ➡️ Hydrate ➡️ Treat ➡️ Eyes ➡️ Moisturize ➡️ SPF ➡️ Primer

This order follows the “lightest to heaviest” skincare principle — allowing thin, 💦water-based layers to absorb first, 🌿treatments to penetrate effectively, and 🧴richer creams and lotions + SPF to lock everything in. It ensures each product performs at its best and your makeup (if any) applies flawlessly afterward.

AM/PM Recommendations. These routines give you flexible options so you can choose what your skin needs each day. When you see “or,” feel free to use one product, layer a few, or alternate them on different days based on your concerns. As long as you follow the order, the routine stays effective and customizable.

🌞Morning

1. CLEAN. Willow Wash

2. HYDRATE. PlantMucin Essence

3. TREAT. Maracuja Oil Daytime Radiance (antioxidant-rich oil-serum for soft, sun-kissed radiance) OR Glowing Serum (anti-aging, hydrating for glowing skin) OR Brightening Serum (dark spots)

4. EYES. Bakuchiol Eye Cream

5. MOISTURIZE. Illuminate Green Tea Face Cream (soothing, lighter, general use) OR Black Currant Restorative Cream (repair, restore for dry, stressed, barrier damaged skin) OR Brightening Lotion (dark spots + moisture)

6. SPF

7. PRIMER. Velvet Touch Primer

🌛Evening

1. CLEAN. Willow Wash

2. HYDRATE. PlantMucin Essence

3. TREAT. Glowing Serum OR Brightening Serum

4. EYES. Bakuchiol Eye Cream

5. MOISTURIZE. Illuminate Green Tea Face Cream OR Black Currant Restorative Cream OR Lavender Lullaby Night Cream (hormonally stressed skin) OR‍ ‍Brightening Lotion OR Thirsty Whipped Body Butter (very dry skin, great for hands and feet or all over)

Primer goes after skincare, but before makeup.

That means prep your skin to get ready for any makeup in this order:

1. Cleanser (Willow Wash)

2. Essence/Serums

3. Oils (Glowing, Maracuja)

4. Cream/Lotion (Illuminate, Brightening Lotion, Calming, etc.)

5. SPF (always last skincare step in AM)

6. Primer (first makeup step, smooths canvas for foundation or tinted SPF)

7. Makeup (if wearing)

🌸 Why This Order Works

• Oils and creams need to fully absorb to hydrate and treat skin.

• SPF must always be the final skincare layer to protect properly.

• Primer sits on top, creating a smooth, even surface that grips makeup without interfering with your active skincare.

✅ So the short answer: Primer comes after oils and creams, but always after SPF, and before foundation/makeup.
