Yes, you can. 'Around' being the operative word here, please don't place any products except the Pure Jojoba across your actual eyelid and close to your lash line.

We believe in multi-purpose, and that’s the great thing about the versatility of the Rose Moisturiser. Using only a tiny amount (half a pump or less), place in your palm along with 1 drop of Pure Jojoba and 2 sprays of Rose Hydrating Mist. Blend between palms and voila, you’ve created a fast absorbing light lotion to smooth over your face, neck AND outer eye area.

Here is the 'layering' rule for how MV should be applied in your ritual.

1st - SERUM
If you are using our Native Power Serum, this comes first. It's water based and needs to go onto DAMP skin, before an oil or a moisturiser.

2nd - OILS
If you're using our Pure Jojoba, or one of our Oil Boosters - these are applied on top of a serum and underneath a moisturiser cream.

3rd - MOISTURISER
On top, always. We consider this an 'overcoat', moisturisers are designed to be occlusive, which means they sit atop the surface of your skin designed to protect and prevent against moisture loss. Definitely on top. We have seen some other brands recommend moisturiser underneath an oil, and this confuses us greatly.

Here are some exceptions to the rules.....

If you prefer blending your Rose Moisturiser and Booster Oil together, this is fine too.
While you'll get a more intensive experience by first massaging with your favourite oil booster, and-then applying your Rose Moisturiser.

If you are genuinely hyper sensitive, you may find great comfort in using Pure Jojoba as your protective layer. Applying a thin veil, waiting for it to absorb, and then applying any other product on top. This is only for those who are very sensitive, and can find that even water will be aggravating. The reason this isn't really a rule-breaker, is because Jojoba is actually not an oil, but a very clever liquid wax!

If you need a rich creme for dry skin - apply 1 pump.

If you need a light moisturiser for oilier complexions - blend a 1/2 pump with a few spritz' of Rose Hydrating Mist into the palm of your hands.

MV is concentrated. Designed so that you can use sparingly, applied to damp skin, and then customise the dose based on your skin type or season.

This is a hard habit to crack, because most (if not all) skincare products are not formulated this way, so you've become accustomed to slathering large amounts of it all over your beautiful face. More is more, right? Not in this instance. Please, please, read the instructions on your label to see how much you should be using. Or ask us: skin@mvskintherapy.com, and we'll be happy to help x

Both our moisturisers are concentrated* formulations and therefore give YOU the power to completely customise them. A bespoke moisturiser every day? That's exactly right!

*We can't stress this enough, these are concentrated creams loaded with therapeutic plant-actives. A little goes a long way and if you only require a lightweight lotion - lucky you - because used correctly, our moisturisers will last you a looooong time. 

Creating concentrated formulations is one of the many differences of MV. This allows us to be matter of fact with you about skincare, educating our customers on some of the marketing *faff* within the beauty industry. It also saves you money - and this is important to us. We want MV to be inclusive, and while our luxury ingredients and blending process are costly (small batch, handcrafted), we know that our products will last you. Finally, shipping concentrated formulas to all of our customers around the world is how we can be conscious of our carbon-footprint, reducing the amount of refill shipments we need to make. Win-win.

Please store products in a bathroom cabinet or on a shelf that is not exposed to sunlight. Because MV products are fresh, it is important they are treated like living products, and not exposed to full sunlight or a heat source. The volatile essential oils and fragile essential fatty acid oils do not tolerate high temperatures and UV light well. During the hot summer months (26 degrees or more) it is recommended you store your MV products in the refrigerator.
