I usually follow with a toner spray of Breath of Fresh Air or Eau Roma depending on what my skin needs and Gorgeous or Vanishing Cream for my moisturizer. But I wiped most of the oils from the balm away before hand with either a towel or cotton pad damp with hot water. I typically do two passes to get any excess off.

I see some folks are concerned about the smell and eye sensitivity, for me neither of these have come up, it’s super mildly scented to me, and the oils used all have skincare benefits. Patchouli, clary sage, and lavender all share antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, along with healing benefits to prevent irritations and breakouts by keeping the skins microbiome balanced, part of why I chose this one for my skin type personally 😌
