Application

Prepare

Each morning and evening, begin your skincare practice by grounding yourself with our presence audio melody. Gently wash your skin and pat dry.

Step 1: Experience

Apply one drop of Brilliance Oil Concentrate to each cheekbone, then gently massage upward and outward, moving across your face and down to your neck and décolleté. Pause to inhale the delicate botanical aroma, allowing yourself to be present in the moment as you enjoy the smooth, velvety texture against your skin.

Step 2: Amplify

Allow full absorption of Brilliance Oil Concentrate, then follow with 1 pump of the Superior Refining Serum and smooth evenly over your face, neck, and décolleté, with special attention to areas that need extra care. Pause to inhale the botanical aroma, allowing a moment of calm to anchor your practice.

This sequence allows the oil to help cushion the skin while the serum works to enhance the look of smoothness, radiance, and comfort.

Practice Presence

Download our presence meditation to enjoy with each application.
