How to use the SSB Essentials

Four steps. Five minutes. Morning and night. The order matters — each product prepares your skin for the next one.

"Do not skip Dew. It is the step that makes everything else absorb instead of sit on the surface."

  • 1

    Melt — cleanse morning and night

    Massage a small amount with dry clean hands onto dry skin to dissolve makeup, SPF, and impurities. Add a little water and massage again to emulsify. Rinse thoroughly. Skin should feel clean and comfortable, never tight.

    AM and PM · Works on dry skin
  • 2

    Dew — mist on damp skin immediately after

    While skin is still slightly damp from rinsing hold Dew 6 to 8 inches from your face and mist 2 to 3 times. Press in with your palms. Don't wait for it to dry, the dampness will help Renew sink into the skin better. Apply Renew while skin is still slightly damp.

    AM and PM · The dampness drives absorption
  • 3

    Renew — 2 to 3 drops on damp skin

    Press 1 to 2 pumps into your face, neck and decollete. Use morning, night, or both, no restrictions, no sun sensitivity. Let it absorb for 30-60 seconds before applying Restore moisturizer.

    AM and PM · No sun sensitivity · No adjustment period
  • 4

    Restore — 2 to 3 pumps as your final step

    After Renew has absorbed press 1 to 2 pumps of Restore into your face, neck and decollete. In the morning follow Restore with SPF. At night Restore is your last and final step.

    AM — SPF last · PM — Restore is your final step

Questions

Common Questions

Most natural skincare fails for one of two reasons, the formulas are too simple to actually do anything, or they are built around trendy ingredients without real efficacy behind them. SSB Essentials is neither. Every product is formulated by a licensed holistic aesthetician with 13 years of clinical experience. Niacinamide, bakuchiol, tremella, and squalane are some of the most well-researched actives available today. These are professional-grade formulas that happen to be botanical. The results are real and they compound with consistent use.
Clinical studies show bakuchiol produces comparable results to retinol for cell turnover, collagen stimulation, and fine line reduction all without the irritation, sun sensitivity, or adjustment period that makes retinol difficult to use consistently. The key advantage is that you can use bakuchiol morning and night from day one with no purging and no downtime. Consistency is what drives results with any retinol alternative, and bakuchiol makes consistency easier because it does not cause any irritation. Expect to see best results between 8-12 weeks with consistent use.
Yes, every product in this bundle is specifically formulated for all skin types including combination. Melt emulsifies fully so it does not leave a residue that clogs oily areas in fact, meadowfoam oil helps to normalize sebum production with consistent use. Renew uses squalane as its base which is non-comedogenic and actually helps regulate sebum over time. Restore is lightweight enough that it will not feel heavy on oily areas while still providing the hydration dry areas need. Niacinamide in Restore also helps minimize pores and control oil, which makes it particularly well suited for combination skin.
The SSB Essentials was designed with reactive skin in mind. None of the four products contain synthetic fragrance, alcohol, sulfates, or harsh actives that commonly trigger rosacea. Bakuchiol is one of the few retinol alternatives that is generally well tolerated by rosacea-prone skin because it does not cause the inflammation or flushing that retinol can. That said everyone's skin is different, if you have severe or very reactive rosacea we recommend starting with Melt, Dew and Calm Calendula Oil only, then introducing and adding Restore first then eventually swapping Renew for Calm as your skin stabilizes. If you have further concerns send me an email and I'll be happy to do a skin consultation with you.
Yes, and this routine was specifically built for skin at this stage of life. Hormonal changes reduce the skin's natural ceramide production, slow cell turnover, and compromise the barrier, all of which show up as dryness, dullness, sensitivity, and fine lines. Restore stimulates ceramide production to replace what hormonal changes deplete. Renew's bakuchiol accelerates the cell turnover that slows with age. Dew and Melt support barrier function without stripping. This is barrier-first skincare designed for skin that is changing and sensitive.
