With Eight Saints products, you can ensure that your skin gets the best care from cleaning to sun protection.
In this detailed step-by-step guide, we will help you build the ultimate morning skincare routine by order of application. We’ll also take the time to explain each product’s usage and benefits.
Morning Skincare Steps
Creating a morning skincare routine involves a few essential steps to ensure your skin is well-prepped and protected throughout your busy day. One of the first ‘must’ steps involves using a cleanser to remove impurities. In addition, you’ll also want to use an exfoliator to slough off dead skin cells.
Follow with a toner to balance your skin's pH. Then apply a serum for targeted treatment, and- drum roll for the grand finale - finish with a moisturizer and sunscreen to hydrate and protect your skin from UV damage.
1. Cleanser: Down to Earth Mud Gel Cleanser
Cleansing is the first and most crucial step in any skincare routine. It effectively removes dirt, oil, and impurities that have accumulated on your skin overnight.
Starting with a clean canvas allows the subsequent products to penetrate better and work more effectively.
The Down to Earth Mud Gel Cleanser by Eight Saints is formulated with natural mud and clay, which are known for their purifying properties. This gel cleanser effectively detoxifies and purifies your skin without stripping it of its natural moisture.

How to Use Cleanser
- Apply a small amount of the gel cleanser to damp skin.
- Gently massage in circular motions for about a minute, focusing on areas prone to oil and impurities.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat your face dry with a clean towel.
2. Exfoliator: Zen Out of Ten Bamboo Detox Face Scrub
Exfoliation is crucial for lifting away dead skin cells that can clog pores and make your complexion appear dull. Regular exfoliation promotes skin cell turnover, revealing smoother and more radiant skin.
The Zen Out of Ten Bamboo Detox Face Scrub uses bamboo powder to gently exfoliate the skin. This detoxifying scrub not only smooths the skin but also helps to unclog pores.
Key ingredients include:
- Bamboo Powder: Provides gentle physical exfoliation to remove dead skin cells. The ingredient has been ground using the extract from Tabashir bamboo stems to create an effective skin exfoliator that is exceptionally fine. In addition, the organic silica can remineralize after application to provide acne benefits.
- Vitamin E: Protects from pollutants and smooths away fine lines and wrinkles.
- Antioxidants: Helps to protect your skin from the damage of free radicals.
How to Use an Exfoliator
- Use the face scrub 2-3 times a week, after cleansing.

- Use it as a mask and let it sit on your face for a few minutes before washing it away.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.
3. Toner: Coast Is Clear Face Toner
Toning is a crucial step that helps to balance your skin’s pH levels, tighten pores, and prepare your skin for the next steps in your routine. A good toner can also remove any leftover impurities after cleansing and tightening your pores.
The Coast Is Clear Face Toner by Eight Saints is a refreshing toner that balances your skin's pH levels and tightens pores. It’s an excellent product for oily, dry, or acne-prone skin. Your skin will have a soft glow without looking oily.
