Ritual Morning · Evening · Bath
A considered sequence.
A guide to using the range. Three rituals, ordered around the body's natural circadian rhythms — barrier protection in the morning, repair signalling at night, and a longer sensorial bath ritual once or twice a week.
01 · Morning
Barrier & tone
- Cleanse. Rooibos & Glucoside Microbiome Body Wash (VV-07) at body temperature. Two minutes, no longer.
- Dry. Pat with a soft towel. Don't rub.
- Treat. Marula + Peptide Firming Body Serum (VV-03) on torso, arms, legs. Two pumps, smoothed in until just absorbed.
- Seal. Aloe Ferox & Oat Barrier Body Cream (VV-06) over the serum if your skin is dry, reactive, or recovering. Skip if your skin is balanced.
- Hands. Marula Peptide Hand & Nail Renewal (VV-08) at the basin. The 8% urea will do its work over the day.
02 · Evening
Repair signalling
- Cleanse. Same body wash, same restraint.
- Concentrate. Honeybush Neck & Décolletage Concentrate (VV-04) on neck and décolletage. The peptide system is light- and air-sensitive — apply right after the airless pump opens.
- Oil. Marula + Baobab Replenishing Body Oil (VV-05) on damp skin where you need it. Three to four pumps for the whole body.
- Recover. Veldt Recovery Balm (VV-02) on muscles you've used today, joints that ache, the small of the back.
03 · The bath
Once, perhaps twice a week
- Temperature. 38–39°C. Hotter dehydrates skin and disrupts sleep architecture.
- Soak. A handful (around 50g) of Karoo Calm Magnesium Sleep Soak (VV-01). Let it dissolve fully before you step in.
- Optional. Add 2–3 pumps of Fynbos Sensorial Bath Oil (VV-09) for the scent and the lipid layer it leaves on skin.
- Stay. 20 minutes. Read, don't scroll.
- Out. Pat — don't rub. Apply oil while skin is still damp. Lights low for the rest of the evening.
A ritual is not a procedure. It is a series of small commitments to your own attention. Use what makes sense, skip what doesn't, find the order that works for the body you actually have.
