The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Skin Care Products

The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Skin Care Products

Whether you're just beginning your skincare journey or want to simplify your routine with nature-powered essentials, we’ve got you. The best skincare products come straight from the earth—infused with plants, crafted with care, and made without compromise.

This beginner-friendly guide will walk you through how to care for your skin naturally using gentle, effective, multi-purpose products that are actually good for you.


Why Skincare Matters

Your skin is your largest organ—and your first line of defense against the world. It deserves a little love in return. A consistent routine using natural skincare products helps keep your skin healthy, calm, and glowing. You don’t need a 10-step regimen—just a few thoughtfully chosen essentials can do wonders.

Start with the Basics

If you're new to skincare, here’s where to begin:

🥥 Cleanser

Try: Coconut Milk Cleanser
A creamy, non-stripping formula made with aloe, papaya, coconut extract, macadamia oil, and milk thistle. It gently removes dirt and makeup without disrupting your skin’s natural balance.

🍊 Serum

Try: Vitamin C Serum
This customer favorite is crafted with rosehip, jojoba, sea buckthorn, raspberry seed, pineapple enzymes, and CBD. It helps brighten, calm, and nourish all at once. Perfect before sun exposure and for after-sun recovery.

🌿 Oil or Balm

Try: Herbal Facial Oil or Healing Salve
Rich in plant oils and botanicals like arnica, calendula, chamomile, and lavender. These multi-purpose staples deeply repair, hydrate, and protect.

🧴 Pro Tip: We don’t offer sunscreen (yet!), but recommend pairing a trusted mineral-based SPF with our Vitamin C Serum for daily antioxidant protection.

What Makes Skincare “Natural” or “Organic”?

Most products labeled “natural” really aren’t. At Mamas Medicinals, it's more than a label, it’s a commitment. Our organic skincare products are handcrafted in small batches with:

  • Cold-pressed, unrefined oils

  • Wildcrafted herbs from Northern California

  • No synthetic fragrances or fillers

  • Safe, non-comedogenic ingredients (great for sensitive skin)

We believe in skincare that works with your body, not against it.

Affordable Skincare That Actually Works

Luxury shouldn’t mean inaccessible. Our formulas are multi-functional, so you can do more with less.

🌼 Customer Favorites:

  • Healing Salve – Use it for eczema, dry patches, diaper rash, cracked hands, or as a dewy balm post-shave.

  • Baby Balm – Gentle enough for newborns, powerful enough for adult skin. Doubles as a lip balm!

  • Botanical Oil – A body moisturizer, facial cleanser, and scalp treatment—all in one.

  • Vitamin C Serum – Daytime protection, after-sun recovery, and even a scalp mask for psoriasis.

  • Body Butter – Rich moisture that also works as shaving cream and after-sun soother.

The Power of CBD, Sea Buckthorn, Raspberry Seed & Carrot Seed Oils

We believe in the healing power of nature’s finest botanicals—especially these superstar ingredients:

🌱 CBD (Cannabis Sativa, Full Spectrum)

Known for its powerful anti-inflammatory and calming properties, CBD helps reduce redness, soothe irritation, and balance your skin.

  • It hydrates and regulates oil production—great for acne-prone skin.

  • Since most skin issues are inflammation-based, CBD is one of the most effective natural solutions.

🍊 Sea Buckthorn Oil

Rich in antioxidants, vitamins A & E, and essential fatty acids, this oil supports skin regeneration, repairs damage, and deeply nourishes.

☀️ Raspberry Seed Oil & Carrot Seed Oil

These oils offer natural UV protection due to their high antioxidant and carotenoid content.

Our Vitamin C Serum includes all of these powerhouse ingredients—perfect for daytime antioxidant support and after-sun recovery.

Creating Your Simple Routine

Here’s a minimalist, effective skincare routine using Mamas Medicinals essentials:

  1. Cleanse – Wash away buildup with our Coconut Milk Cleanser

  2. Tone (optional) – Use Rosewater Toner for a refreshing, hydrating boost

  3. Treat – Apply Vitamin C Serum to brighten and calm

  4. Moisturize – Seal it in with the Revitalizer or Healing Salve

🌿 Consistency is key—especially with high-quality, plant-based ingredients.

Why Natural, Organic, and Affordable Skincare Matters More Than Ever

In today’s world of overwhelming skincare choices, more people are seeking out the best skincare products that not only work but also align with their values. At Mamas Medicinals, we believe that healthy, radiant skin starts with what you don’t use: no harsh chemicals, no synthetic additives, and no empty marketing promises. Instead, we focus on natural ingredients, time-tested herbs, and small-batch integrity you can trust.

If you’ve ever stood in the skincare aisle feeling unsure of what’s actually good for your skin, you’re not alone. Many mainstream products are loaded with synthetic fragrances, preservatives, and irritants that can do more harm than good, especially for sensitive skin types. That’s why switching to natural skincare is more than just a trend—it’s a return to what works.

We use powerful botanicals like calendula, chamomile, arnica, and lavender not just for their soothing scents, but because these herbs have been used for centuries to calm inflammation, support healing, and nourish delicate skin. And when paired with cold-pressed oils like jojoba, sea buckthorn, and raspberry seed, these natural ingredients deliver results you can feel and see.

What Sets Organic Skincare Apart?

While many brands use the word “natural” loosely, organic skincare goes a step further. It’s about the purity of ingredients, the sustainability of sourcing, and the care taken in crafting every product. All our oils are organic, unrefined, and chosen for their active properties, not just for texture or scent. Our herbs are wildcrafted in Northern California, often by our own hands, ensuring the highest quality from soil to skin.

Organic ingredients are less likely to contain pesticide residues or synthetic fertilizers that can irritate the skin or compromise your health. They’re also grown in ways that support biodiversity and protect the planet, so your skincare choices reflect not just self-care but earth-care too.

When you choose organic skincare, you’re choosing products that are safe, effective, and in harmony with your body’s natural rhythms.

Skincare That Doesn’t Break the Bank

We get it—clean beauty can come with a steep price tag. But it doesn’t have to. We’ve made it our mission to offer affordable skincare that delivers without compromise. By formulating multi-purpose products—like a balm that works for diaper rash, cracked skin, and cuticle care—we help you get more value with fewer products.

Our customers love that one jar of salve or one bottle of serum can replace multiple items in their routine. That’s the beauty of high-quality, plant-based formulations: they’re concentrated, effective, and designed to do more with less.

You shouldn’t have to choose between quality and cost. With Mamas Medicinals, you get both.

Choosing the Best Skincare Products for You

So, how do you know which products are right for you? Start by listening to your skin. Whether it’s dryness, irritation, or sensitivity, your body is speaking—and our best skincare products are made to meet those needs gently and powerfully.

From the Vitamin C Serum that brightens and calms, to the Healing Salve that’s a must-have for families, our line is designed to support all ages and skin types. We’ve combined natural ingredients with modern herbal science to make skincare that’s easy to use, safe for everyone, and genuinely transformative.


Final Thoughts

Skincare doesn’t have to be complicated (or synthetic) to be effective. The best skincare products are made with herbs, clean ingredients, and respect for your skin. At Mamas Medicinals, we simplify your routine with natural, organic, and affordable products that are gentle, powerful, and backed by nature.
