Want to achieve the ideal base before applying your make up? Removing dry, uneven skin and rehydrating is key! The skincare duo that's essential for achieving a flawless makeup application.

Why Exfoliate? Exfoliation is the cornerstone of any comprehensive skincare routine, especially before applying makeup. Our Essentials Rosehip Cream Exfoliant, a proud finalist in the Clean + Conscious Awards 2023, is more than just a scrub; it's a gateway to healthier skin. By gently removing dead skin cells, it helps to unclog pores, prevent acne, and allow your skin to better absorb the products that follow.

How to Exfoliate with Organic Ministry Start with a clean face, using your preferred Organic Ministry cleanser. Apply a small amount of the Essentials Rosehip Cream Exfoliant to damp skin. With gentle, circular motions, massage the exfoliant over your face for about one minute. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry. Your skin will immediately feel smoother and look more vibrant.

The Power of Masking Following exfoliation with a face mask allows you to tailor your skincare to your current needs. Whether it's hydration, oil control, or a dose of antioxidants, a mask can deliver concentrated ingredients to your freshly exfoliated skin.

Choosing Your Organic Ministry Mask Select a mask that complements your skin's needs. For a hydrating boost, our Thirsty hydrating Gel Mask works wonders, infusing your skin with moisture, peptides to increase collagen production while providing an anti-inflammatory properties. Great for reducing inflamed skin before applying your make up.

How to Mask Effectively Apply your chosen mask in a thin, even layer over your face, avoiding the eye area. Leave it on for the time specified in the instructions—usually between 10 to 20 minutes. This is the perfect moment to relax and let the organic, high-quality ingredients work their magic. Rinse off with warm water and enjoy the sensation of refreshed, deeply nourished skin.

Before the Makeup Now that your skin is exfoliated and treated with a mask, it's primed for make up application. Your foundation will glide on smoothly, concealer will blend seamlessly, and your entire make up look will benefit from the even, supple canvas you've created.
