Cleanse → Oil: The Two-Step Ritual That Actually Sticks

The best routine is the one you repeat.

Why this ritual works

Most people don’t need a 9-step routine. They need a ritual that works on rushed mornings, late nights, travel days, and low-motivation days.

That’s why BRACT begins with two steps: Cleanse → Oil.

The rule:

If you can do these two steps consistently, everything else becomes optional — not necessary.

Step 1: Cleanse (reset the surface)

Cleansing removes the day’s buildup — sweat, dirt, sunscreen, pollution, and product residue. Done well, it sets the skin up to accept conditioning without heaviness.

Keep it simple:

Use a gentle cleanser
Avoid harsh scrubbing
Rinse thoroughly
Pat dry (don’t rub)

Step 2: Oil (condition and restore comfort)

Daily Conditioning Oil is designed to feel light, fast-absorbing, and comfortable on skin. It’s not meant to sit on top of your face. It’s meant to disappear into the ritual.

Start here:

2–3 drops for most daytime use
3–4 drops for dry skin, night, or post-shave comfort

How to apply (AM / PM)

Amount: start small. You can always add.

Cleanse and pat dry (leave skin slightly damp if you want extra glide).
Dispense 2–4 drops into palms.
Press into cheeks, jawline, and neck.
If you have light facial hair, work it through the hair then press remaining oil into the skin underneath.

Timing:

AM: Oil → wait 60–90 seconds → sunscreen
PM: Oil is your last step after cleansing

What “good” should feel like

Within a couple minutes, you should notice:

Less tightness
Better comfort
A finish that looks like skin (not shine)
No sticky layer

If it still feels oily after 5–10 minutes, you used too much.

Common mistakes (and the fix)

Mistake: Applying to very dry skin and overusing.

Fix: Apply to slightly damp skin or use fewer drops.

Mistake: Treating oil like a mask.

Fix: This is a daily conditioner, not an overnight glaze.

Mistake: Changing products every week.

Fix: Keep the ritual stable long enough to measure results.

The 30-day commitment

Your goal is not “instant transformation.” Your goal is fewer bad skin days, more comfort, and a routine you can keep without thinking.

Ritual Summary (save this):

Cleanse gently
Apply oil (2–4 drops)
AM: wait 60–90 seconds, then sunscreen
PM: oil last

Run the two-step ritual for 30 days before adding anything else.

FAQ

Can I use it under sunscreen?
Yes — apply oil first, wait a minute, then apply sunscreen.

What if I have a beard?
Press oil into the skin under hair first. Use what’s left to lightly smooth the hair.

What if my skin is oily?
Use fewer drops (start with 2), and treat oil as conditioning — not shine.
