Your Step By Step Guide To Applying Your Products
- Firstly, start with cleansed skin using NIOD HECS
- Apply 2/3 drops of NIOD CAIS to your face and neck. You can pat or massage it in.
- Follow with 2/3 drops of NIOD Hyaluronic in the palm of your hand and massage or pat onto your skin.
- When NIOD Hyaluronic is absorbed, you can then apply a small amount of NIOD Hydration Vaccine. This feels like a vaseline to seal everything in. If you´re on a budget, leave this out and use Natural Moisturising Factors. You may also prefer just to use Hydration Vaccine at night.
- You need to see what works for you as during the day, you may wear makeup and SPF, so you may find it´s too much product.
- Myrrh Clay is a masque that targets signs of ageing and can be used once a week. You leave it on for 15 minutes and then rinse it off.
