The Ritual of Layering — Creating Harmony Between Oil & Moisture

Manna Face Oils and Moisturisers are designed to work in deep synergy — each supporting a different layer of your skin’s vitality.

• Moisturiser = hydration + barrier support

  (water-rich humectants + emollients)

• Face Oil = nourishment + protection

  (lipid reinforcement + nutrient density)

Used together, they create a radiant, balanced field of hydration and glow — the foundation of high-frequency skincare.

But the ritual is also flexible.

Some customers prefer to begin with only one product, especially when exploring a new routine or working within a budget.

This guide supports both full rituals and single-product journeys, all aligned with modern skincare science and the energetic philosophy behind Manna.

If You’re Using Both (Oil + Moisturiser): The Full Ritual

1. Begin with the Moisturiser (Hydration Layer)

After cleansing, apply 1–2 pumps of Manna Face Moisturiser.

This step:

• replenishes water-based hydration

• calms and softens the skin

• primes the skin to receive the oil

• supports bioelectric stability

Take a grounding breath as it absorbs.

2. Seal with the Face Oil (Nourishment Layer)

Warm 2–4 drops of your chosen Face Oil between your palms.

Press gently into the face, neck, and décolletage.

This final layer:

• locks in hydration

• reinforces the skin barrier

• delivers concentrated botanical nutrients

• enhances luminosity and energetic coherence

Rose Otto → uplifting, heart-opening, brightening

Oud / Sandalwood → grounding, restorative, deeply centring

If You’re Starting With Just One Product

Starting with the Face Oil (best for dry, dehydrated, or mature skin)

Face Oils are excellent if your skin is:

• dry

• tight or flaky

• prone to dehydration

• needing more nourishment

How to use if oil is your only product:

1. After cleansing, apply 3–4 drops of oil to slightly damp skin.

2. Press gently until absorbed.

This gives a dewy, nutrient-rich glow and supports barrier repair.

You can add the moisturiser later if you want more hydration or lightweight daytime texture.

Starting with the Moisturiser (best for oily, breakout-prone, or combination skin)

Moisturiser is ideal if your skin is:

• oily

• prone to congestion

• sensitive to heavy textures

• needing water-based hydration more than oils

How to use if moisturiser is your only product:

1. After cleansing, apply 1–2 pumps.

2. Use morning and/or night depending on your skin’s needs.

This gives breathable hydration without added richness.

You can add the Face Oil later if your evening routine needs more restoration or calm.

Pro Tip

Face Oils absorb best when applied on moist skin — either after moisturiser or a hydrating mist.

Allow 10 minutes before sunscreen or makeup for full absorption.
