Meet Lisa – Be You Skincare Europe (English)

Hi Lisa, can you share your skincare routine with us? 

Ha, you can really call my facial routine a routine because I barely deviate from it. I love the soothing effect and how it makes my skin look and feel!  

First step - Cleansing

In the morning and evening, I wash my face with the Be You Skincare oil. I rinse my face with warm water, then massage the oil onto my face and take a second to breathe in the pure rose oil. Then, I dip a soft cloth into warm water to wipe my face. I sometimes repeat this process when I feel that my skin needs another round, but usually, once is enough.

Second step – Moisturizing

Moisturizing is straightforward. I use 6 drops of oil, warm it in my hands and then massage it onto my face and neck. I am meticulous with counting the drops, which is kind of funny when I think about it. My husband used to apply just whatever amount of oil onto his face as a moisturizer, and I didn’t want him to waste the precious oil. That’s why I encouraged counting, and we figured that 6 drops are ideal for my face and neck and perfect for his face. So 6 drops it is. Not more. Not less.

Optional step – Scrub

Once a week, I use the Gentle Exfoliating Rice Scrub in the evening. I sprinkle half a teaspoon into my hands, mix it with a few drops of oil and massage it onto my face. I wash it off with warm water, and I use a cloth to ensure that all the scrub is gone. Then I add the oil as a moisturizer (step 2), and I can almost feel how my skin absorbs it and enjoys this special treatment.

 

Do you use any additional skincare products for your face? 

In the mornings, I wait a few minutes until the oil has been absorbed completely, then I add an SPF to protect my skin against UVB and UVA rays. In the evenings, I don’t use any additional products. 

 

How did your skin change when starting your Be You Skincare routine?

I used to struggle with an oily forehead, some redness around the nose and dryness lines at the end of the day. After a week of using the oil, those problems started disappearing, and I couldn’t believe it.

The Oil Cleansing Method was without a doubt the biggest game-changer for me because I had never heard about it before. I used to wash my face with a mild cleansing gel, but I think it was still too strong for my face, stripping my skin's natural protective barrier and causing it to react. 

 

Do you use the oil only for your face? 

I use most of the oil for my face. I also apply it to my hair, hands, feet or any dry skin area, but not every day. I also use it to spoil my children with a massage after a bath or to comfort them when they have a little bruise. When they fall down, they come to me and ask if they can use “mummy’s special oil”. They enjoy the wonderful rose smell and a cuddle… and then they ask for a plaster because for them, nothing can beat a good big plaster!
