Face to Collarbone: The 60-Second Neck Massage August 17, 2025 15:37

From Face to Collarbone: A 60-Second Neck Massage Enhancing Product Performance

If you’re applying skincare only to your face, you’re leaving results on the table. The neck and chest (décolleté) show fine lines and crepiness sooner because the skin is thinner and gets a lot of sun and movement. A quick, gentle 60-second neck massage helps your serum spread evenly, absorb better, and feel more comfortable—no fancy tools required.

Why your neck & chest need extra love

  • Thinner skin: Less natural oil and resilience than the face.

  • High motion area: Turning, bending, looking down—skin stretches a lot here.

  • Sun exposure: Daily UV adds up (SPF is non-negotiable!).
    Good news: a simple application ritual improves glide, minimizes tugging, and makes it easier to stay consistent—key for visible results over time.

What you’ll use (keep it simple)

  • 4-6 drops of a our Advanced Face & Neck Serum with bakuchiol + THDA Vitamin C + CoQ10 in a cushiony base of  squalane, rosehip, and argan.

  • Clean hands and a comfortable, upright posture.

Tip: Warm the serum between your palms for 2–3 seconds. Warm product spreads with less friction.

The 60-second routine (timed and easy)

0–10s: Set your canvas

  • Lightly cleanse or refresh the area; pat dry so there’s no water slick.

10–40s: Press, don’t rub

  • Dispense serum onto palms.

  • Press upward from the collarbones to the jawline using full palms (not just fingertips). Think gentle “lift” motions—no dragging.

  • Move from center out: center line → right side → left side.

  • Add 1 more drop if you need extra slip for the upper chest.

40–55s: Side angles & back of neck

  • With flat fingers, sweep upward from the side of the shoulder toward the ear/jaw hinge (both sides).

  • Lightly smooth the back of the neck upward—great if you wear your hair up or use SPF there.

55–60s: Pause & pat

  • Finish with soft pats over the whole area to encourage even laydown and reduce excess rubbing.

Comfort check: You should feel glide, not pull. If it tugs, add a half-drop more serum.

Technique matters (tiny tweaks, big payoff)

  • Use palms over fingertips to spread pressure and avoid micro-tugging.

  • Upward strokes = supportive. Downward rubbing can crease delicate skin.

  • Stay off the voice box (center front of neck) with firm pressure; keep it feather-light there.

  • Go slow. Smooth, steady passes beat fast back-and-forth rubbing.

Pair it with the right formula

Our Advanced Face & Neck Serum is designed for slip + comfort:

  • Bakuchiol – retinol-like visible smoothing, gentler track record

  • THDA Vitamin C – oil-soluble brightening without a sting

  • CoQ10 – antioxidant support for a bouncier look

  • Squalane + Rosehip + Argan – lightweight moisture lock and cushion

Because everything here is lipid-loving, the all-oil base improves stability and glide—perfect for this 60-second ritual.

When to do it (AM, PM, or both)

  • Morning: After cleansing, before SPF. The thin layer sinks in quickly and layers well under sunscreen and makeup.

  • Night: After cleansing; you can follow with a light cream if you like.

  • Consistency > intensity: Daily gentle application beats occasional heavy rubbing.

Common mistakes (and easy fixes)

  • Using too little product:   If skin tugs, simply add another drop of serum.

  • Rubbing downward: Switch to upward presses

  • Going too fast: Quick rubbing = friction. Keep it slow and smooth.

FAQs

Can I use tools (gua sha, rollers)?
Sure—keep pressure light and use plenty of slip. Hands are perfectly effective for daily use.

How soon will I notice anything?
Most people feel immediate softness from the extra glide. Visible improvements in tone/texture come from consistent daily use of the serum over weeks.


The takeaway

One minute. Two hands. Big difference in how your products feel and perform. Make the face-to-collarbone ritual your new non-negotiable—your neck & chest will look and feel more supported, hydrated, and cared for.

Unlock Radiant Skin: The Powerful Benefits of CoQ10 for Your Skin August 6, 2025 12:00

CoQ10, also known as Coenzyme Q10, is a powerful antioxidant that naturally energizes skin cells, boosts collagen production, and protects against signs of aging. As we age, our natural CoQ10 levels decline, leading to wrinkles, dullness, and reduced skin elasticity. This blog explores how CoQ10 restores firmness, smooths fine lines, and revives tired skin—making it an essential ingredient in any anti-aging skincare routine. Learn why CoQ10 is a must-have for achieving radiant, youthful skin and how to easily incorporate it into your daily regimen.

Using plant-based skincare products will help improve the overall health of your skin. Whether you are young, middle-aged, or basking in the golden years, it's never too early or too late to start taking care of your skin. If you have sensitive or problem skin, stay away from applying anything that contains chemicals, to your skin.

Chemicals & Skin Care June 19, 2015 14:58

People are looking for safer, more natural skin care products, but there is a lot of confusion about what "natural" actually means.  The word "natural" is on labels everywhere, yet there is no regulated definition. The U.S. government does not require health studies or pre-market testing for personal care products so there are many non-natural components and processes in most U.S. body care products. Even those labeled "natural" may contain harsh preservatives or ingredients.

Preservatives are necessary in most body and skin care products, especially products that contain water, and we know that preservatives and chemicals such as parabens, polypropylene and polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl and laureth sulfates are not only bad for our body but also for our environment because the body care products that everyone uses eventually go down the drain and into our environment.

Fragrance is a word found on many products that claim to be natural, the fact is most fragrance is man made to mimic the the smell of something else.  Fragrance oils should be naturally derived, if it is not, it shouldn't be used on your body. When looking for a special scent or aroma it's best to use products that contain  Essential Oils. Essential oils are not only good for the skin but may have aromatherapy benefits, as well.

All of our products are made with ingredients that actually nourish your skin and body. We use no water in any of our skin care products so we don't need preservatives. All of our products have a shelf life of approximately 8 months to a year.

Our goal is to be the go-to place for the highest-quality, natural skin care products.
