Om Organic Skincare Routine
Cruelty free, all natural & Canadian made…
is what my new skincare routine is all about. Om Organics has blown me away! I had a chance to chat with one of the founders & ask her a few questions about the company & products. You can find the interview here. Below I have posted MY skincare routine & how these products help my skin type.
WHITE WILLOW PURIFYING CLEANSING GEL.
I love this cleanser because it’s perfect for my skin type & almost every skin type. I have sensitive skin & breakout hormonally, so this cleanser helps prevent breakouts without stripping away the healthy oils that lock in moisture to my skin.
White Willow Bark contains salicylic acid to help fight acne & exfoliates to reduce clogged pores & the look of fine line & wrinkles. Honeysuckle is used as a natural antiseptic to relieve skin irritations & blemishes while Sandalwood soothes pimples, acne, blemishes & rashes while drawing excess oil from the skin.

SPIRULINA TONIC CLARIFYING FACE MIST.
This was the product that made me fall in love with this line. Spirulina eliminates toxins from the skin while increasing skin metabolism to enable faster skin cell turnover & skin healing. Rosemary water is a heaven-sent for sensitive skin, but it’s also an anti-septic & anti-inflammatory to help reduce breakouts & inflammation caused by acne. Sandalwood is used yet again to soothe breakouts & draw excess oil from the skin.
Using a facial mist before applying a moisturizer or oil/elixir combo will allow you to use less product to effectively hydrate your skin.
combination / sensitive / problematic
YOUTH INFUSION AGE DEFYING ELIXIR.
The creators of Om Organics recommend using an oil & elixir combo asa posed to a face cream because it contains 100% active ingredients whereas a cream contains a high quantity of water along with some non-therapeutic ingredients to make it the consistency of a cream.
Tripeptide 29 is one of the main ingredients in this elixir. Studies have shown that its materials dramatically increase collagen in the skin. Collagen is the most lavish protein in the body -improving skin elasticity, reducing wrinkles & increasing moisture in the skin. Though I’m 22, I have always been told to start purchasing age defying products. It never hurts to start young & the products usually have deep moisturizing ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid. It penetrates deeply into the skin to attract & retain water for maximum hydration. Tamrind Seed, Green Algae & Gotu Kola improves skin elasticity & smoothness while toning & tightening the skin.
dry / mature
ROSE HIP + BLACK CUMIN PERFECTING FACE OIL.
Om recommends blending a dime size of elixir with a few drops of face oil for the ultimate nourishment. This oil was recommended to me because my main skin goal was to perfect the tone, texture & pigmentation of my skin. A blend of Rosehip, Cranberry & Black Cumin oil does just that while adding hydration. Two other incredible ingredients are Horse Chestnut & Olive Leaf help to heal & strengthen fragile skin.
normal / oily / sensitive
CUCUMBER TEA BRIGHTENING EYE SERUM.
I feel like I look like a raccoon with dark under eye circles. Probably from my three jobs, blog & business with the lack of sleep but that’s what being 22 is like nowadays. I’ve noticed changes since i’ve been using this product though. Cucumber & Caffeine work together to eliminate excess fluid build-up & inflammation. While Bilberry delivers oxygen rich blood to the layers of the skin while strengthening blood vessels & capillary walls. Also, back to Hyaluronic Acid & it’s ability to penetrate deeply into the skin for the ultimate hydration. All this talk means… NO MORE RACCOON EYES!
Taking care of your eyes is my #1 tip when it comes to skincare. The skin under your eyes is extremely thin & sensitive, so any kind of tugging can cause some serious wrinkles. Using your pinky, start at the outer corner of the eye, work towards the inner corner, up over the brow bone & back to the outer corner. Gently dab all the way around both eyes & use a sweeping, circular motion to massage the serum into the skin.

Om Organics was super helpful when it came to choosing the right skincare routine for me. When I discovered them on Instagram, I loved the fact their products contained no parabens, no added colour or fragrances & most importantly, didn’t test on animals. My skin has reacted very well by switching to an all natural skincare routine & I feel more confident leaving the house with little to no makeup on. I recommend emailing them at hello@omorganicscanada.com to find out what products would be best for your skin type.
p.s tell them you came from here to help spread the love.
