The Herbalist's Guide To Clearing Acne & Breakout Prone Skin

Posted by Jaime Cross on

If oily skin and breakouts have ever tested your patience, you know how hard it is to find a cleanser that truly works, without leaving your skin stripped or tight.

Balancing out your skin’s oil production with a proper Dual Cleanse changes everything. It lifts impurities, purifies pores, and reveals the natural radiance your skin has been waiting for.

Here’s why it works:

The first Step, an Oil-Based Cleanser, dissolves sebum, makeup, and lipid-based impurities that water alone can’t touch, all while nourishing your skin’s barrier without making your skin oily.

The Second Step, Foam-Based Charcoal-Rich cleanser, draws out residual dirt, toxins, and sweat, purifying pores and leaving your skin deeply clarified. Together, these steps create a level of clarity, balance, and glow that single-step cleansing can’t achieve. Add on the Total Body Detox for beauty within, and you have a recipe for happy skin.

Step 1: Black Gold Detoxifying Oil Cleanser
Warm a few drops in your hands and massage over dry skin. Hemp seed and castor oils gently lift impurities while nourishing and regulating your natural oils. Infusions of blackberry leaf, horsetail, nettle, and burdock root support lymphatic cleansing and detoxification, while ashwagandha calms stress-related flare-ups. Wild carrot, helichrysum, and rose oils nourish your skin with essential nutrients that help restore vitality and luminosity. Activated charcoal draws out impurities, and essential oils of lavender, neroli, frankincense, and rose absolute provide aromatherapeutic calm. Non-GMO Vitamin E preserves the potency of this living botanical blend.

Step 2: Charcoal 27 Soap
After oil cleansing, follow with Charcoal 27 Soap to complete your ritual. This powerhouse soap is designed for breakout-prone skin, combining gentle cleansing with deep detoxification.

  • Oat flour, bentonite, and montmorillonite clays absorb excess oil and draw out impurities.

  • Infusions of calendula, marshmallow root, burdock, and honey soothe irritation and support skin healing.

  • Activated charcoal completes the detox, purifying pores and clearing residual toxins.

  • Essential oils of lavender, hyssop, spearmint, peppermint, and anise refresh, calm, and balance your complexion.

Together, these two steps create a synergistic ritual: oil lifts and nourishes, charcoal purifies and clarifies. For breakout-prone skin, this ritual doesn’t just cleanse, it resets, detoxifies, and restores your skin’s natural glow.

If your skin is breakout-prone, sensitive, and dry, replace the Charcoal with Lavender Here.

Your next clear-skin ritual awaits.
