We've broken down the most common mistakes for you so you can finally get the best out of your care. Say goodbye to waste and frustration, hello to an optimized routine and visible results!

Error #1: Overusing vegetable oils

It's the first thing we're told in natural beauty: oils are fantastic! Yes, that's true. They nourish, protect, repair... but quantity is key. We often tend to think that the more we use, the better. Big mistake, especially with pure and concentrated vegetable oils like argan oil, jojoba oil, or black cumin oil. Overuse can not only make your skin oily and shiny but also clog pores, cause breakouts, or weigh down your hair. The goal is to nourish, not create an occlusive barrier that would prevent your skin from breathing or your hair from moving freely. Less is often more, especially when it comes to high-quality products.

For the face: 2-3 drops are enough for the entire face and neck. Warm the oil in your palms and apply with gentle taps. For hair: A few sprays of dry oil or a nut-sized amount of liquid oil for the ends suffice. For a mask, the quantity should coat your hair without making it drip. For the body: One or two pumps per area, massaged until absorbed.

Pro tip: If your skin remains shiny or sticky more than 10 minutes after application, you've used too much. Adjust the amount next time!
