Ritual notes
Seasonal skin advice, ingredient stories and news from the Fernhill fields.
An evening ritual in ten minutes
Cleanse for one minute, press three drops of oil, seal with a little cream. Why three steps are enough, and the order that makes them work.
Start with a balm on dry skin: it melts make-up and sunscreen without stripping the barrier. Rinse with warm water and a soft cloth. While the skin is still slightly damp, warm three drops of oil between your palms and press them in. On dry days, finish with a pea-sized amount of cream.
Rosehip: the oil we press in March
Wild dog roses grow along every hedge of our fields. We pick the hips in late winter and press the seeds within a day.
Rosehip seed oil is naturally rich in vitamin A and essential fatty acids. It softens dry patches and evens tone without clogging pores, which is why it is the heart of our renewal oil.
What your skin wants when the heating goes on
Warm, dry air pulls water out of the skin. Swap your gel for a balm, add a mist, and keep a richer cream by the bed.
Our autumn swaps: oat milk barrier cream instead of a light lotion, the rose and aloe mist on your desk, and a magnesium bath once a week.
