If your skin doesn't need to be fixed, just looked after — this is your routine.
The Essential Routine is F+A's foundational system: three steps, done well, every single day. No unnecessary extras, no guesswork about what order to apply things in. Just clean, simple skincare that does exactly what it says it will.
Who It's For
This routine is best suited to normal, combination and sensitive skin — skin that's generally balanced but benefits from consistent hydration and a gentle, non-disruptive routine. If your skin isn't dealing with a specific concern like dullness or dehydration, but you want to keep it that way, start here.
The 3 Steps
1. Cleanse — F+A Cleansing Foam
A lightweight, low-lather foam formulated with rose flower water, chamomile extract and calendula extract. It lifts away the day (or night) without stripping your skin's natural barrier, leaving it soft rather than tight or squeaky-clean.
How to use: Massage a small amount onto damp skin morning and night, then rinse with lukewarm water.
2. Hydrate — F+A All-In-One Facial Oil
A nourishing blend of jojoba seed oil, avocado oil and evening primrose oil that locks in moisture and softens skin without feeling heavy or greasy. Despite the name, it plays well as a mid-step underneath moisturiser or mixed into it.
How to use: Warm 2–3 drops between your palms and press gently into skin after cleansing.
3. Nourish — F+A Moisturising Day Cream
A daily moisturiser built on aloe vera, jojoba oil, banana flower extract and berry extract, designed to lock in hydration and keep skin comfortable through the day.
How to use: Apply a pea-sized amount as the final step in your morning and evening routine.
Why This Routine Works
Each step in the Essential Routine has one job — cleanse, hydrate, or seal — so nothing is fighting for space on your skin. It's the routine we'd recommend to anyone asking "where do I even start?" It's also the exact trio inside our Daily Routine Set, so you don't need to piece it together product by product.
