Sattva facial care comes in six steps: cleansing, toning, serum, cream, oil and massage, and a mask. You don’t have to use them all at once. The basics are a gentle gel, a cream or serum matched to your skin’s needs, and SPF in the morning; you add the rest gradually. Below you’ll find the order in which to apply your products and a breakdown by skin concern.

Facial care routine order, step by step

The rule is simple: from the lightest texture to the richest, and in the morning, SPF goes on last.

Morning

1. Cleansing – a gentle gel, or just water if your skin is dry or sensitive.
2. Toner – mist your face after cleansing.
3. Serum – a light serum with vitamin C or bioretinol.
4. Cream – day cream and eye cream.
5. SPF sunscreen – always last.

Evening

1. Cleansing – a face wash gel that also removes makeup and sunscreen.
2. Toner.
3. Serum or oil – apply the oil after a light serum.
4. Night cream and eye cream.

Once or twice a week, add a mask, and a few times a week, a facial massage with oil.

Facial care by skin concern

• Anti-Wrinkle – Bioretinol serum and Pro-Age day, night and eye creams.
• Dark Spots and Radiance – Ayur Glow serum, Kumkumadi oil and a niacinamide cream.
• For Blemishes – cleansing gels, clay and herb masks, and a cream for breakouts.

What Ayurvedic facial care is about

Ayurveda isn’t one magic ingredient but an approach: simple rituals, herbs and oils with a long tradition of use, and choosing products for your skin’s needs rather than for a trend. We don’t promise miracles. We tell you what’s in the formula, how to use it and how long to wait before judging the results.

Frequently asked questions

Where should I start with facial care?

With three things: gentle cleansing, a cream or serum matched to your skin’s needs, and SPF in the morning. Add further steps after a few weeks, one at a time.

In what order should I apply products to my face?

From the lightest texture to the richest: cleansing, toner, serum, cream, and in the morning, SPF last. Apply oil after a light serum, before your cream, or in the evening instead of cream.

Do I need all the steps?

No. A minimal routine is gel, cream and SPF in the morning, and gel and cream in the evening. Add serum, oil, a mask and massage when your skin needs them.

Are Ayurvedic cosmetics natural?

They are based on herbs and plant oils, but some also contain preservatives and other auxiliary ingredients. The full ingredient list (INCI) is on each product page. Some products, e.g. SunBalance Mineral SPF40, are COSMOS Natural certified.

How long does it take to see results?

Skin renews itself in a cycle of about a month, so assess the results after about 4 weeks of regular use.

What facial care should I use after 30 and after 40?

There’s no strict age cut-off. At the first signs of lost firmness, it’s worth adding a serum and cream from the Anti-Wrinkle collection and remembering your SPF.
