Natural Skin Care Routine For Oily, Acne Prone Skin

When it comes to Clean Beauty, there’s a whole range of differing opinions. But, at Adore Beauty we truly believe these matters come down to preference. 

We know that a lot of you love your natural skincare brands, especially the ones that use plant based actives to garner serious results, and frankly, we celebrate that! 

That’s where Mukti Organics comes in. We think Mukti is one of the best organic skincare brands, creating products that target a range of skin concerns using highly potent Australian actives.

So, we asked Laura Gallagher from the Mukti team to create a routine that incorporated their natural products to help tackle breakouts, as well as balance oily/combination skin types and acneic skin.

Why choose natural skin care products?

Certified organic skincare products avoid ingredients that have been grown with herbicides, pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They also avoid any form of genetic modification. The natural, plant derived ingredients they do use are then certified by a number of different organisations.

The big idea behind all this is that because skincare is absorbed into the skin, a lot of people prefer to know that their skin isn't absorbing the chemicals used to grow these ingredients along with the benefits these ingredients boast. 

Fair enough, really. 

Natural Skin Care Routine for Acne:

Step 1: Balancing Cleanser

The Mukti Organics Balancing Cleansing Gel is a gentle foaming gel cleanser created to control oily skin and balance combination skin types.

Formulated with Australian botanical extracts including Flame Tree and Mountain Pepper Leaf to assist with breakouts and hormonal acne as well as soothing and calming botanicals including Chamomile and Aloe Vera. Use Mukti Organics Balancing Cleansing Gel morning and night as Step 1 of your routine.

Step 2: Orange Blossom Mist

The Mukti Organics Orange Blossom Balancing Mist is created to balance combination skin and refine the pores leaving your skin feeling refreshed and revitalised.

Mukti Organics Orange Blossom Balancing Mist also assists with the absorption of moisturisers and oils and may be used throughout the day to uplift the skin and senses imparting a healthy glow. This will also allow greater product penetration for any serums or moisturizers to follow. You can use this morning and night.

Step 3: Aloe Vera Moisturiser 

Apply the light, refreshing Mukti Organics Aloe Vera Moisturiser that works to soothe and calm sebaceous (oil) activity.

Vitamin A (Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate HPR) is a gentle retinoid that works through the mechanism of inhibiting enzymes that break down collagen. It also increases cellular turnover, resulting in a softening of the lines and wrinkles. It works to fight acne by dissolving surface oil and diminishing pores, as well as fading dark spots and reducing pigmentation.
