Keep It Simple, Stupid!

Back to Basics: Why Your Skin Deserves a Simple, Three-Step Routine

If you’ve ever scrolled through Instagram or flicked through a magazine, you’ve probably seen the skincare equivalent of a buffet. Cleansers, exfoliators, serums, essences, masks, mists, boosters, oils, balms, serums (yes, two serums), eye creams, lip masks, sunscreen, setting sprays... the list goes on. Every brand seems to promise that the next nine steps will unlock radiant, flawless skin. But here’s the truth: most of us don’t need 10 products to look after our skin every morning and night. In fact, too many steps can end up doing more harm than good, expensive harm.

At OmMade Organic Skincare, we believe in stripping a routine back to what really matters: cleanse, tone, moisturise. That’s it. No gimmicks, no hype, no pocket-emptying product overload. Let’s break down why going back to basics is better for your skin, your wallet, and your sanity.

Overloaded Routines and Empty Wallets

Too Many Steps
Walk into any beauty aisle and you’re hit with rows of products that claim to do it all. There’s a cleanser that promises “plumping benefits,” a scrub that claims to “resurface and renew,” a mask that “detoxifies and brightens,” plus another “overnight repair” potion. By the time you factor in serums, boosters, ampoules, oils and eye creams, you can end up with a 10- to 12-step routine that takes 20 minutes (if you’re lucky) and a degree in cosmetic chemistry to figure out.

Too Much Money
All those extra steps add up...fast. High-end brands sneak in fancy press-release language and celebrities on their labels while charging premium prices. Before you know it, you’ve spent $150-$200 a month on a routine that still might not give you the results you want.

Why It Doesn’t Work
More products don’t automatically equal better skin. In fact, layering too many treatments can:

• Disrupt Your Skin Barrier: Over-exfoliating or combining multiple active ingredients might compromise your skin’s natural protective layer, leading to redness, dryness or breakouts.

• Cause Sensitivity: Some ingredients simply don’t play well together. Mixing acids, retinoids or strong botanicals can cause irritation, peeling or inflammation.

• Hide the Real Issue: If you’re constantly chasing the next “miracle” serum, you might never address the root cause of your skin concerns like dehydration, diet, stress or lifestyle factors.

Why You’re Not Seeing Real Results

Your Shelf Is Crowded, and Your Skin Is Still Complaining
Think back: how many times have you spent good money on a highly promoted serum, only to realise your skin looks exactly the same (or worse) three weeks later? It’s frustrating. You might cycle through five or six treatments in search of that glow, but in the process, you’ve ended up with irritated, confused skin that doesn’t know what to do next.

The Hidden Costs
It’s not just about the dollar signs on the price tags. Over-complication can cost you:

• Time: Ten steps morning and night means 40 minutes of your day gone, and that’s if you actually follow them consistently.

• Energy: Deciding which product to use, when to apply it, and how much to put on can become its own mini project.

• Trust: Every time a product fails to deliver, you lose a little more faith in skincare and start to question what’s real and what’s just marketing buzz.

The OmMade Solution- Cleanse, Tone, Moisturise, No Hype

We get it. You want simple. You want honest. You want real results. That’s why OmMade Organic Skincare exists. There’s no fluff in our three-step system, Just pure, potent formulas designed to work in harmony:

1. Cleanse

   • Why it matters: Throughout the day (and night), our skin collects dirt, oil, makeup and environmental pollutants. A gentle cleanser removes all of that without stripping your skin’s natural oils, so you start with a clean slate.

   • Choose Your Cleanser: 

     • Foaming Honey Cleanser- Perfect for dry skin
     • Facial Cleansing Oil- Perfect for oily or acne prone skin.

2. Tone

   • Why it matters: Your skin needs more than just a quick spritz—it needs calming, balancing and lasting hydration. Our Chamomile Toner & Hydrating Spritzer soothes redness and inflammation with chamomile hydrosol, which brings natural antihistamine and antibacterial benefits. Sandalwood hydrosol then delivers deep moisture and anti-aging support, helping to protect and nourish your complexion without feeling heavy. Meanwhile, geranium essential oil works to refine pores and tone your skin, encouraging collagen production and aiding in cell renewal. In short, this toner restores balance, locks in moisture and sets the stage for healthier, more resilient skin.

     • Chamomile Toner - Perfect for All Skin Types

3. Moisturise

   • Why it matters: A moisturiser is more than just a final step in your routine, It’s the foundation for healthy, resilient skin. When a formula is water free, it means every drop is concentrated with nourishing oils and nutrients rather than diluted by water. This concentration allows the ingredients to absorb more deeply, strengthen your skin barrier and lock in hydration without relying on fillers or extra preservatives.

     • Kakadu Plum Moisturiser- Deeply nourishing grass-fed tallow mimics your skin’s natural oils to hydrate and repair.
     • Hemp Seed Face Moisturiser- Lightweight hemp seed oil provides essential fatty acids without clogging pores, perfect for oily or acne-prone skin.
     • Hemp Seed Face Serum- Soothe redness, protect from environmental stress and balance oil production.

Why Less Is More

• Reduced Risk of Irritation
  When you rely on three well-crafted products instead of a dozen, it’s easier to track what helps and what irritates. You can spot sensitivities, tweak your routine, and avoid guesswork.

• Better Long-Term Results
  Building healthy skin barrier function takes time. A simple routine ensures each step has maximum impact, so you don’t wash away toner with harsh cleansers or dull your glow with heavy layering.

• Cost-Effective
  Buying three potent, multi-tasking products costs less than chasing multiple trends. You’ll spend a fraction of what many high-end brands charge while actually seeing visible improvement.

Time-Saving
Three steps, twice a day. Under five minutes. That’s it. You’ve got better things to do than stand in front of a mirror for half an hour.

Putting It into Practice

Identify Your “Three”

1. Choose your cleanser. 
2. Add the Toner
3. Choose your moisturiser.

Be Consistant

• Cleanse morning and night, toning immediately after, then finishing with moisturiser.
  
• If you want to add a scrub or mask, use after cleansing and no more than 3 time per week. 

Patience Is Key

Real, lasting results take time, so give each product 30 days to show its true effect and if it’s not for you, just let us know; we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee.
