How to Use Your Discovery Set Samples
Your Discovery Set includes all five Core Five products in 3ml sample sizes - the perfect way to experience Self-Regulation Skincare™ before committing to full-size bundles.
Here's everything you need to know about using your samples.
WHAT'S IN EACH SAMPLE?
Each 3ml sample contains:
🌿 Magnificent Night Oil (3ml) = 60-75 drops
🌿 Super Natural Oil (3ml) = 60-75 drops
🌿 All Around Eyes Elixir (3ml) = Roller ball applicator for precise application
🌿 Intensive Night Cream (3ml) = Multiple applications
🌿 Frankincense & May Chang Moisturiser (3ml) = Multiple applications
These samples give you a genuine experience of each product - enough to see how your skin responds and fall in love with the ritual.
HOW TO USE YOUR SAMPLES:
STEP 1: START WITH ONE PRODUCT AT A TIME
Don't try all five products at once! Start with one or two, so you can see how your skin responds.
Suggested starting order:
Frankincense & May Chang Moisturiser (morning) - gentle, balancing, perfect for daily use
Magnificent Night Oil (evening) - Thymoquinone-rich, deeply nourishing
Add others as you go
STEP 2: USE THE RIGHT AMOUNT
For oils (Magnificent Night Oil, Super Natural Oil):
2-3 drops is all you need for your whole face
Warm between your palms
Press gently into clean, damp skin
A little goes a long way!
For All Around Eyes Elixir (roller ball):
Gently roll around the eye area
under eyes, outer corners, brow bone
The roller ball dispenses the perfect amount
Pat gently with your ring finger to help absorption
No need to apply pressure - let the product do the work
For creams (Intensive Night Cream, Frankincense & May Chang Moisturiser):
Pea-sized amount for your whole face
Warm between your fingertips
Apply with gentle, upward strokes
Less is more with these rich formulas
STEP 3: LAYER CORRECTLY
If using multiple products, apply in this order:
MORNING ROUTINE:
Cleanse
Super Natural Oil (2-3 drops on damp skin)
All Around Eyes Elixir (roll gently around eye area)
Frankincense & May Chang Moisturiser (pea-sized amount)
EVENING ROUTINE:
Cleanse (use the moisturiser if you wish with a warm wet cloth)
Magnificent Night Oil (2-3 drops on damp skin)
All Around Eyes Elixir (roll gently around eye area)
Intensive Night Cream (pea-sized amount)
TIPS FOR GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR SAMPLES:
✅ Apply to damp skin - oils absorb better and you'll need less
✅ Warm products between your palms - helps them spread further
✅ Press, don't rub - gentle pressing helps absorption
✅ Start with less - you can always add more if needed
✅ Focus on face and neck - these are concentrated formulas
UNDERSTANDING THE COLOUR DIFFERENCES:
You might notice the oils have different colours:
🌿 Magnificent Night Oil (lighter golden) = Pure Thymoquinone-rich Black Seed Oil
🌿 Super Natural Oil (darker amber) = Black Seed Oil infused with 2% Bakuchiol
Both are equally potent - the colour difference is due to the Bakuchiol and Rosehip infusion in Super Natural Oil.
PATCH TEST FIRST!
Even though my formulas are designed for sensitive skin, everyone's skin is unique.
Before using any new product:
Apply a small amount to your inner forearm
Wait 24 hours
If no irritation occurs, you're good to go!
If you have very reactive skin, introduce one product at a time over several days.
USE WITH YOUR ROOTED™ CARD DECK:
Your Discovery Set is the perfect opportunity to practice Self-Regulation Skincare™.
While you apply your products:
Pull a ROOTED™ card
Follow the technique (4,7,8 breath, body scan, grounding)
Notice the sensory experience: scent, texture, touch
Pause, breathe, reconnect
This is more than skincare. It's a ritual for your nervous system.
