We love a good beauty hack, we also love a good squeaky clean complexion that is healthy, hydrated, and flawless! Unless you have been living under a rock, you know that the double cleanse is making its way to the top of the beauty technique mountain! Have you wondered how to give your skin a good double cleanse with Osmosis products? Well we have the perfect, most incredible hack for you...
Melt Away Gelee and Deep Clean! These two are like Forrest and Jenny, Peanut Butter and Jelly, Bubba and Shrimp, Peas and Carrots (Forrest Gump has been on our TV... if you can't tell.) Did you know our Melt Away Gelee is not just for the eyes? It works wonders all over the skin, as the perfect pre-cleanse balm which removes makeup and surface impurities. Following Melt Away with Deep Clean (or your favorite Osmosis Cleanser), is the perfect way to ensure a clean face, without it feeling stripped of vital nutrients and moisture. Tune in below to see just how simple, the Osmosis Double Cleanse can be!
We are so close to shorts, sun dresses, and flip flop weather we can hardly stand it! That means showing a bit more skin, which means you must be protected! We like to call summer SPF season (though you NEED to wear SPF daily… throughout the year). With summer comes the possibility for sun damage, dark spots and uneven skin. We have created the perfect lightening and brightening facial to reduce pigment problems and keep your skin even and balanced all summer long!
Step 1. Boil 2 cups of water. Once water is hot, pour in a heat safe bowl. Drape a towel over your head while leaning into the steam from the hot water. Steam your skin for 5 minutes to open your pores and prep them for your at-home treatment.
Step 2: Cleanse skin with Purify, gently cleanse in small circular motions pushing cleanser up towards the forehead, then rinse.
Step 3: Apply a quarter size amount of Polish to the skin. Allow to sit for 5-7 minutes. Apply a warm towel to skin and without applying pressure, allow it to remain on skin until lukewarm in temperature. Gently lift towel and use to remove any excess.
Step 4: Apply 2 pumps of Rescue and a nickel size amount of Repair to the skin. Spritz Clear Plus+ on top and gently massage the product into the skin for deeper penetration. Allow to sit for 15 minutes. Apply a warm towel to skin and without applying pressure, allow it to remain on skin until lukewarm in temperature. Gently lift towel and use to remove any excess.
*Note, when doing a lightening treatment, SPF if the most important factor in keeping skin bright, protected, and keeping the results of this facial intact.* This facial experience is perfect for gaining a brighter complexion and treating hyperpigmentation! Complete this regimen once a week and utilize Enlighten and Restore every evening for even more results.
Oh Acne. We thought we parted ways once we turned 18 and our awkward skin days were over. But alas, it continues to find its way back into our lives. Acne, especially adult acne, can be a huge downer and with spring and summer approaching, the thought of having to wear a lot of makeup to cover up our breakouts is enough to cause a FREAKOUT! Don't worry, we have devised a plan to kick acne to the curb with our Spring Detox Facial! Get ready to reveal clearer, smoother skin.
Step 1. Cleanse with Deep Clean Cleanser. Work it into your skin in circular motions and massage gently to lift impurities, oil, and makeup.
Step 2. Double cleanse with Purify to loosen dead skin cells for a fresh, clean face.
Step 3. Exfoliate with Polish. Massage a nickel size amount onto your face, neck, and chest.
Step 4. Inhale and take a whiff of the delicious cranberry scent of Polish.
Step 5. Wrap a warm towel around your face and let it sit for 5 minutes, then gently remove the mask.
Step 6. Apply one pump of Rescue to your skin. Rescue will ease inflammation, neutralize toxins, and initiate repair of irritated breakouts.
Step 7. Mix one pump of Clarify and one pump of Clear, massage into your skin and use gentle tapping motions with your finger tips to press the product into your skin.
Step 8. Apply a big ol' scoop (silver dollar size amount) of Pore Minimizing Clay Purifying Mask. Massage the mask for 3 minutes onto your face, neck, and chest. If you have break outs on your back, this mask would be a great treatment for those pesky little buggers.
Step 9. After you've massaged the mask into your skin, wrap your face, neck, and chest with a warm towel. Once the towel has cooled, remove the mask.
Step 10. Look in the mirror and say, "Hello beautiful!"
Step 11. Spritz 1-2 pumps of Clear Plus onto your skin.
Step 12. Apply Shade or Protect to keep your skin shielded from the sun. Throw some pressed base on and hop, skip, and jump outside to show off your clear, beautiful skin... Or just have a dance party in your living room. It's up to you!
This facial experience is perfect for spring cleaning your skin. Set aside some time once a week to treat yourself to a mighty detox. In between treatments we suggest using a Vitamin A Serum as your PM treatment and Rescue in the AM (with Protect or Shade).

Ahhhhhh Winter. It's here, and we don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon. This season can be pretty tough on your skin, dryness sets in and your glow slightly fades. Sometimes getting in for a professional facial is just too much with holiday stress, icy roads, lacing up winter boots (the worst!) We want to make your winter skin care routine a little easier with a winter ritual you can treat yourself to once a week. So make yourself a hot cup of tea... or coffee, and set aside 30 minutes of pure, uninterrupted you time.
Step 1. Look in the mirror and say "Hey, good looking!"
Step 2. Give your senses a ZING with Cleanse, our pepperminty cleanser to draw out and remove impurities. Rinse with warm water.
Step 3. Apply in circular motions Purify, an enzymatic power house cleanser to remove deep impurities. Let it sit on the skin, uninterrupted for 3 minutes. Then remove with a warm wash cloth.
Step 4. Give your skin a firm up with Polish. Our cranberry enzyme scrub to gently remove dead skin cells and brighten the complexion. Rinse with warm water.
Step 5. Slay bacteria and heal your skin with a lemony dose of Clear Plus. Spritz on your skin and gently press it in with your finger tips.
Step 6. Massage one pump of Stem Factor with one spray of Clear Plus and a generous amount of Hydralift Firming Gel Mask onto your face, neck and decollete. Allow it to sit on your skin for 10 minutes then rinse with warm water.
Step 7. Using one pump of Catalyst AC-11 (our anti-aging all star), massage your skin starting from your forehead, working your way gently down to your neck using soft, light touches.
Step 8. Drench your skin with hydration and moisture with Quench. Don't forget your neck, ears and chest!
Step 9. Say, Ahhhhhhhhh while breathing deeply.
Step 10. If you treat yourself to this ritual in the morning, add protection to your skin with our Pressed Base and a swipe of our perfect, smoothing Lip Gloss in Bare.
We know it takes a little effort to give yourself 1 minute of time let alone 30, but trust us. Your skin (the largest organ of your body that also happens to protect your other organs) will be grateful, and so will your spirit!
