Eminence Organic Skincare Routine
The 5 essential steps for your Eminence Organic Skincare Routine
1. Cleansing
Why it's important
Cleansing is a fundamental step in any skincare routine. It removes dirt, oil, and impurities that accumulate on your skin throughout the day. These impurities can clog pores, leading to breakouts and other skin issues. A clean face is essential for healthy skin as it allows subsequent skincare products to penetrate more effectively.
Eminence Organic Skincare Routine Product: Stone Crop Gel Wash
This award-winning, gentle cleanser removes impurities without disrupting your skin’s natural moisture barrier. Packed with stone crop, it's ideal for balancing and brightening every skin type.
How to cleanse
- Use a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type.
- Massage the cleanser into your skin in circular motions.
- Rinse with lukewarm water and pat your face dry with a clean towel.
Key Ingredients
- Stone Crop: hydrating and nourishing for uneven skin tones
- Chamomile: revitalizes, calms and balances the appearance of skin
- Shea Butter: calming and restorative agent
For those with even the most sensitive skin, our Eminence Stone Crop Gel Wash washes away impurities without drying out the skin. Botanical extracts help even skin tone and minimize the appearance of blemishes to leave a healthy complexion. Cruelty-free and formulated without parabens, sodium lauryl sulfates, synthetic dyes, petrochemicals, animal by-products, phthalates, GMOs and triclosan.
2. Exfoliating
Benefits of exfoliation
Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells, revealing a smoother and brighter complexion. It also enhances the absorption of other skincare products.
Eminence Organic Skincare Routine Product: Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant
A cult-favorite for a reason. This daily-use exfoliant uses rice powder and lactic acid to buff away dullness and reveal a smooth, luminous glow — instantly.
How to exfoliate
- Use a gentle exfoliator 2-3 times a week.
- Apply the exfoliator in circular motions, avoiding the delicate eye area.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
"Selecting the right exfoliant is crucial: it's the difference between revealing radiant skin and risking irritation with you Eminence Organic Skincare Routine"
Mechanical exfoliation
Uses physical means to remove dead skin cells
Works by physically sloughing off dead skin cells
Best for normal to oily skin types
Can be too harsh for sensitive or acne-prone skin if not used gently
Fruit Acid Exfoliation
Uses specific chemicals to dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells
Often come in the form of toners, serums, or peel pads
Can be more consistent and less abrasive than mechanical exfoliation
Suitable for most skin types when chosen correctly
3. Toning
Importance of toning
This crucial step acts as a bridge between cleansing and moisturizing :
- Cleansing can disrupt skin's natural acidity. Toners restore optimal pH.
- Toners containing astringents can temporarily tighten pores, giving skin a smoother appearance.
- They catch any remaining dirt, oil, or makeup that cleansing may have missed.
- Many modern toners add a layer of hydration, prepping skin for better absorption of subsequent products.
Eminence Organic Skincare Routine Product: Stone Crop Hydrating Mist
Refresh, hydrate, and prep your skin to absorb serums and moisturizers. Bonus: it smells like a fresh botanical garden.
How to tone
- Apply toner to a cotton pad: Dampen a clean cotton pad with toner, ensuring it's not overly saturated.
- Gently swipe it across your face and neck: Use upward strokes to apply toner across your face and neck. Be gentle around the eye area and don't forget often-missed spots like around the nose.
- Let it dry naturally before applying other products: Allow 30 seconds for the toner to absorb. Once your skin feels dry to the touch, proceed with your next skincare step.
4. Moisturizing
Why moisturizing is essential
Moisturizing is a crucial step in any Eminence Organic Skincare Routine, serving as the final protective layer for your skin. This step helps:
- Hydrate the skin: Moisturizers lock in water, keeping skin hydrated and plump.
- Strengthen the skin barrier: They support the skin's natural protective layer, improving its ability to defend against environmental stressors.
- Prevent water loss: By creating a seal on the skin's surface, moisturizers reduce transepidermal water loss.
- Soothe and calm: Many moisturizers contain ingredients that soothe irritation and redness.
- Target specific concerns: Depending on their formulation, moisturizers can address issues like aging, acne, or hyperpigmentation.
- Provide a smooth base for makeup: Well-moisturized skin allows for better makeup application and wear.
How to choose your moisturizer
The ideal moisturizer varies based on skin type and concerns. Oily skin might benefit from lightweight, oil-free formulas, while dry skin may require richer creams. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin are common in effective moisturizers.
For best results, apply moisturizer to slightly damp skin to trap in extra hydration. Use it both morning and night, adjusting the formula as needed for day and night use.

The role of sunscreen
Eminence Organic Skincare Sunscreen is a crucial defense against harmful UV rays, protecting your skin from:
- Premature aging and wrinkles
- Sunburn and skin damage
- Increased risk of skin cancer

Pro Tip: For maximum protection, apply sunscreen 15-30 minutes before sun exposure and don't forget often-missed spots like your ears, neck, and the backs of your hands.
Your daily armor against UV damage and pollution. Lightweight, reef-safe, and leaves zero white cast — perfect for everyday wear.
How to apply sunscreen
Choose a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher
Apply generously: use about 1/4 teaspoon for your face
Cover all exposed skin, including often-missed areas like ears and neck
Apply as the final step in your morning skincare routine
Reapply every 2 hours, or more frequently if swimming or sweating
Use even on cloudy days, as UV rays penetrate clouds
“Sunscreen is the cornerstone of effective skincare, acting as your skin's daily armor against the sun's relentless assault. It's not just about preventing sunburn.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to see results from my new Eminence Organic Skincare Routine?
Consistency is key! Most people begin to notice subtle improvements — like softer texture or reduced redness — within 2 to 4 weeks of sticking to a new routine. However, deeper changes like fading hyperpigmentation, clearing breakouts, or firming the skin can take 6 to 12 weeks .
✨ Pro Tip from Wil: Think of skincare like planting a garden — you won’t see full bloom overnight, but with daily care and the right ingredients, your glow will grow.
Can I skip steps if I'm short on time?
Yes — skincare should support your life, not stress you out. If you're in a rush, focus on the non-negotiables: cleanse, moisturize, and protect (SPF). These three steps form the foundation of healthy skin.
On slower days, layering in toning and exfoliating adds extra glow and long-term benefits. Just remember: even a mini ritual is better than none ✨
💛 Progress over perfection. Your skin will thank you for showing up — even when it's quick.
How do I know if a product is breaking me out?
Breakouts from a new product usually show up within the first 1–3 weeks of use — often as small bumps, irritation, or clogged pores in areas you don’t normally break out.
Here’s how to tell the difference:
Purging? Happens when active ingredients (like exfoliants or retinols) speed up skin cell turnover. These breakouts usually clear up in 4–6 weeks and appear where you normally get pimples.
Breaking out? If you’re seeing new types of irritation, redness, stinging, or clogged pores in new places — the product may not be right for your skin.
✨ When in doubt, pull back and patch test. And we’re always here to help troubleshoot if you’re not sure what your skin is saying!
Should I change my routine for different seasons?
Yes — your skin’s needs shift with the seasons, just like your wardrobe.
🌞 In summer , you might need lighter textures, mattifying formulas, and extra SPF to combat heat, sweat, and sun exposure.
❄️ In winter , your skin often craves richer moisturizers, calming ingredients, and added hydration to protect against dryness, cold air, and indoor heating.
🍂 Transitional months (spring + fall) are perfect times to check in with your skin and tweak your routine as needed.
✨ Think of your skincare like self-care for the season you’re in — adaptable, intuitive, and always in tune with you.
