Love your face with just two products and no nasties whatsoever with a complete night and day skincare system. Perfect for all skin types as long as your skin is generally well behaved. If it is very sensitive please be sure to choose the unfragranced version of this set. If your skin is troublesome please see our Skin in need of TLC section.
The Beauty Balm can be used to cleanse and remove make-up, including waterproof mascara, using the oil cleansing method and can also be used as a nourishing moisturiser. It is indeed a standalone skincare system in itself. However, adding the marshmallow facial oil to your night-time regime will really complete the system by including many polyunsaturated fatty acids and a potent dose of our marshmallow root extract.
Polyunsaturated fatty acids, in particular linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid, are essential to maintain a good skin barrier which keeps moisture in and pathogens out. But polyunsaturated fatty acids will oxidise in sunlight causing damaging free radical damage, which is why we recommend using them at night.
Marshmallow root extract is incredibly hydrating and softening. It's known as an anti-aging herb and is a great addition to your day to day skincare protocol.
Lyonsleaf Beauty Balms are rich in saturated fatty acids that will not oxidise on the skin. They can be used to moisturise and prime during the day and to cleanse and remove make-up in the evening.

BEAUTY BALM
To cleanse and remove make-up (Oil Cleansing Method):
1. Apply Lyonsleaf Beauty Balm to face when dry, massaging thoroughly to dissolve dirt and make-up. You can take the time to pamper yourself, or do it very quickly if you’re in a hurry.
2. Run a clean flannel under comfortably hot water and hold it over your face allowing the steam to gently lift the dirt, make-up and dead skin cells.
3.Wipe away residue leaving clean, hydrated skin. Use a muslin flannel for extra exfoliation.
4. Repeat as necessary.
You don’t need a toner and you may not need to moisturise. If you do, use a very small amount of Beauty Balm as a moisturiser.
We recommend oil cleansing your face morning and night.
Do not use flannels or muslins more than twice before washing, dry them out between uses, never leave a flannel in a soggy heap as you will create a home for bacteria.
As a moisturiser:
Use sparingly, as a little goes a long way. Rub a very small amount of Lyonsleaf Beauty Balm between your fingers then apply to your face, massaging in well until it has been absorbed into the skin.
As a primer:
Use sparingly and wait a few moments before applying foundation to prevent make-up soaking into dry skin.
FACIAL OIL
Apply to skin as required, Best used after oil cleansing. Use at night to avoid essential fatty acids oxidising in daylight.
BOTH PRODUCTS
Easily absorbed and non greasy - if you feel greasy, you have used too much.
Non-comedogenic, suitable for facial use and eye area.
Not suitable for infants under 36 months.
Not suitable for those with an allergy to the daisy or aster family, (known as a Sesquiterpene Lactone allergy).
As with all skin care products test a small area of skin and observe for 24hrs to be sure there is no reaction before applying generally. Should irritation occur discontinue use.
Storage & Shipping
Store all Lyonsleaf products in a cool dark place to preserve beneficial compounds and avoid solid products melting.
Stored properly and unopened all products will keep indefinitely. Use within 12 months of opening.
If a solid product does melt, reset it in a refrigerator. Products containing shea butter should be warmed to a liquid state and then reset quickly in a refrigerator to avoid the shea butter forming grainy lumps as it hardens.

Excellent minimalist skincare
I've been using Beauty Balm for about 2 months, and I'm really happy with the results - my skin looks healthy, pore sizes have reduced (to my surprise) and I love having just a single product. The only other thing I use is a mist of spring water. I decided to try the serum this time, to see if I liked it as much, and if I wanted to use it going forward. It is is lovely product, and I would definitely recommend trying it, but on balance I think my skin is happiest with just the beauty balm alone. I do have Rosacea however, which may be why my skin seems to prefer the balm - or even the Serum with a little balm over the top. The spray dispenser on the serum is excellent - I was a bit dubious, but 2 or 3 squirts are plenty for face and neck.

Wonderful products
My wife has used these products for several years after having perioral dermatitis and her condition has cleared up since using them. She would definitely recommend Lionsleaf products and they smell great too.

Great products, shame about the plastic pump!
I love these products but i did think it was a shame that I received the plastic pump when I'd asked for a refill with no pump. It's no big deal and I suppose in order to get the refill next time i will just have to buy the 2 products separately rather than going for the offer.

How Quickly do you despatch?
We despatch orders Monday to Friday and we always dispatch the same working day (if ordered before 12 noon) or the following working day.
Will my skin react to Lyonsleaf Products
Our products are all 100% natural and free from all artificial chemicals. Because they are water free we can even avoid antimicrobial preservatives and emulsifiers. For this reason it is very unusual for anyone to react to our products at all. However some people are sensitive to essential oils, so if you are super-sensitive please choose unfragranced product options. Even less common, it is possible to be allergic to calendula and other herbs, so it is always important to do a patch test. In the unlikely event that you do have an adverse reaction, you can return your product for a full refund. We also sell samples of most products so you can try before you invest in a big pot.
Why is the pot so small?
Lyonsleaf products are water free and contain only the finest, plant oils, butters natural waxes and mineral ingredients. Most high Street products are up to 80% water, which means you need to apply them much more liberally and frequently. You will find you only need to use Lyonsleaf products very sparingly to achive good hydration that lasts all day. Products that are rich in soothing herbs can be used more frequently to achieve the best calming effect, but they still only need to be used sparingly. So these little pots go a long way, using less packaging and less transportation resources.
Are Lyonsleaf products vegan?
Much of the Lyonsleaf range is vegan, but we do use organic beeswax in some products. When it came to choosing a suitable wax, we decided it would be better for the environment to choose a farming method that promotes pollinators rather than a vegetable mono-crop that causes deforestation and loss of habitat. We only use organic beeswax as organic farming standards require farmers to have high welfare standards for Bees.
