The ultimate skincare routine with Okana Skincare

If you’re ready to jump into Okana natural skincare boots ‘n’ all, we have the daily regime you’ve been dreaming about. To embrace this top-to-toe routine, you only need one thing – the Okana radiant skin box. Not only does this kit have everything you require, it represents the most cost-effective natural makeover your skin will ever enjoy – six Okana products for just under $100.

When you switch entirely to Okana for skincare, you’ll see results within a week of starting our day and night routines. We recommend you take a couple of ‘before’ pictures, so that you can do a comparison at one month. It takes an average of four weeks for your skin cells to turn over completely.  If you’re older, this renewal process takes a little longer.

If you renovate some lifestyle habits at the same time as switching to Okana, you can expect to see benefits unfold month after month.  Simple things like eating a mostly-plants diet, drinking at least 1.5 litres of plain water each day and getting a minimum of 30 minutes of pulse-raising exercise four times a week can make a big difference to your skin, body and state of mind.

Okana’s ultimate skincare routine for daytime

1 - Wake up and smell the roses. If you have enough time in your day, do a quick bit of yoga stretching before you head for the bathroom.  A couple of sun salutations or another full-body stretch routine is a great way to recover from being horizontal all night. You Tube has plenty of videos to help.

2 - In the shower, wash your face with our apple juice foaming cleanser. It gives you all the satisfaction of a wash-off cleanser, but without the skin-stripping action that usually comes with foaming formulations.

3 - A couple of times a week, use our bamboo bead face scrub to exfoliate your face, neck and décolletage. This will gently remove dead skin cells from the surface of your skin, so that the new skin can shine through. It’s also essential for preventing pore blockages that contribute to breakouts and acne.

4 - After your face wash, turn the water off and have a toes-to-neck rub down with our brown sugar body scrub. Made with just five ingredients – brown sugar, apricot kernel oil, olive oil, rapeseed oil and apricot wax – this scrub gets you super-smooth. The oils also do an amazing job of dissolving sebum, sweat and dirt, so that you’re deliciously clean. Problem areas, such as elbows and knees, can get extra scrubbing attention to eliminate rough skin.

5 - Rinse off, towel yourself dry and give your face and décolletage a spritz of cucumber and lettuce toner. This vitamin-rich formula balances skin pH and provides a mist of hydration that you can seal in with moisturiser.

6 - Moisturise with our vegetable garden day moisturiser, made with just four vegan ingredients: apricot kernel oil, olive oil, carrot juice and tomato juice. Entirely fragrance-free, this non-greasy moisturiser is quickly absorbed. It’s a perfect base for foundation or a mineral powder.  Use the moisturiser on your neck and décolletage, as well as your face.  Feel free to add a mineral sunscreen after moisturising, to protect against UV damage.

7 - Hydrate areas of body skin that are prone to dryness with avocado smash body butter. Smooth and rich, this moisturiser is great for hands, arms and legs. A little bit goes a long way, so don’t go overboard.

Okana’s ultimate skincare routine for night time

1 - As soon as you can in the evening, relieve your skin of the day’s grime and makeup with our special double cleansing ritual.

2 - Tie your hair back and massage our mango and apricot cleanser all over your face and neck.  It will dissolve everything, including eye makeup. Remove with a soft washcloth and warm water.

3 - Follow with another cleanse, this time with our apple juice foaming cleanser. This will remove any remnants left over from the previous cleanse

4 - Rinse and towel dry, then spritz the cleansed area with cucumber and lettuce toner to balance skin pH.

5 - Moisturise with our berry blend natural night moisturiser, made with just four vegan ingredients: apricot kernel oil, macadamia oil, mixed berry juice and red grape extract. This intense night-time moisturiser helps with hydration and skin renewal while you’re sleeping. It’s also rich in antioxidants, to target free radicals that contribute to ageing.

6 - Just before you turn out the lights, massage a dab of avocado smash body butter into your hands. Ensure you rub a little into the cuticle area of each fingernail.
