Building a Natural Skincare Routine for Glowing Skin
Glowing skin doesn't come from one miracle product. It comes from a simple routine repeated every day, and Orvica Botanics has built its range around that idea. Natural skincare for glowing skin works best when you keep the steps few, the ingredients gentle, and the habits consistent.
Start with two steps: cleanse, then nourish. Use a gentle cleanser morning and night, and follow it with a plant-based oil while your skin is still slightly damp.
Watch out: harsh scrubs used daily can strip the skin barrier and leave it looking dull and red.
The routine comes down to two steps, each with a simple rule of thumb.
| Step | What to do | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| Cleanse | Use a gentle cleanser | Morning and night |
| Nourish | Apply a plant-based oil | While skin is slightly damp |
| Avoid | Harsh scrubs used daily | Can strip the skin barrier |
How to Apply Face Oil Under Sunscreen
Apply face oil before sunscreen, not after, so the protection sits on top of your routine.
Warm two to three drops between your palms. Press them gently into your face and neck, then let the skin absorb them for a minute before you apply sunscreen.
Our 24K Golden Glow Elixir is a botanical face oil serum made without water, so every drop is a concentrate, and it features bakuchiol and sea buckthorn oil. For a closer look at whether a botanical oil suits your routine, see Is Botanical Anti-Aging Oil Worth It?
Choosing the Best Face Oil for Glowing Skin and Layering It With Moisturiser
Look for a face oil with plant-based ingredients and check the ingredient list, not just the marketing claims. Check the ingredient list, not just the marketing claims.
If you use a moisturiser too, apply the lighter product first. Oil goes on last in most routines, but layering a rich moisturiser over a thin oil can feel heavy. Test both on a small patch of skin for a few days before committing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best natural skincare routine for glowing skin?
A simple routine works best: cleanse morning and night, apply a lightweight serum or face oil on clean skin, then seal in hydration with a moisturiser. Sunscreen goes last in the morning. Consistency matters more than the number of steps.
Can you apply face oil under sunscreen?
Yes. Apply face oil after cleansing and any water-based serum, let it absorb for a minute or two, then add sunscreen. Use a small amount of oil so the sunscreen can still spread evenly. A thin, well-blended layer is enough, and reapplying sunscreen as directed keeps your sun protection effective.
Is natural skincare suitable for sensitive skin?
It can be, but natural does not automatically mean gentle. Patch test any new product on a small area of skin for several days before using it on your face. Look for simple formulas with fewer ingredients, and stop using a product if redness, itching or stinging develops. If irritation persists, speak to a pharmacist or dermatologist in Australia.
Start with one oil, one cleanser and one sunscreen, and give them four weeks. Consistency matters more than adding more steps.
