FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I get maximum benefits from my AEOS products? All AEOS formulations are highly concentrated – a little goes a long way – so it’s best to apply them sparingly. We recommend always applying our formulations to damp skin, using gentle circular motions then lightly patting. To make sure each formulation is received optimally by your skin at the deepest dermal level, always follow the correct product sequence. Avoid introducing other products outside of the AEOS range, this is because artificial or synthetic preservatives and chemicals used in other products can interrupt and damage the fragile actives in our formulations. Our formulations offer a complete skincare solution and – for best results – we recommend using them for at least two months.

How do I know which colour products to choose? Our founder Vicky Wall was renowned for saying “the greater guide is within”, so tune in and observe … whichever colour combination of products you’re most drawn to will help balance the condition of your skin and wellbeing at a deep level. Just as we may be instinctively drawn to certain colours of food according to our nutritional needs, our intuition guides us to the unique combination of skincare products that best meet the individual needs of our skin. Choosing products in this way can deliver nurturing at a far deeper level than choosing them based on our skincare needs alone.

BLUE BEAUTY:  Being attracted to the calming hues of blue signals the desire to find more peace and serenity in your daily life. To choose blue is to invite stillness and calm within, to find peace and acceptance with our circumstances. Our blue formulations, rich in skin-soothing chamomile and enhanced with spagyric crystal essences of amethyst, turquoise and emerald, that help you slow down, breathe deep and soothe away the effects of stress from your skin.

PINK BEAUTY: When you’re drawn to the warm hues of pink, you instinctively recognise the desire to bring more kindness, caring and love into your life. Feeling drawn to pink is a gentle reminder to make space in your life to nurture and look after yourself, just as you nurture and look after your loved ones. Our pink formulations, are enhanced with spagyric crystal essences of fire opal, rose quartz and rubellite, that help to support the heart chakra and assist you in achieving the rosy complexion that replenishing these pink qualities within yourself helps to create.

Should I use the same AEOS skincare sequence all year round? Thanks to the potent actives that work synergistically across our product range and the nature of those actives, our formulations are created to intuitively treat skin with the just right amount of care and balance, according to its needs at any given time. That said, during particularly extreme seasonal changes, it can be beneficial to become aware of how your skin changes and update your AEOS ritual accordingly, for example if your skin becomes more sensitised in the winter months, you may want to up your cleanser from Dew Facial Wash to Gentle Cleansing Lotion, or Gentle Cleansing Lotion to Cleansing Oil Dé Maq and reverse this process during the summer months.

TRIED AND TESTED

I still remember the very first time I experienced this product. I couldn't believe that such a gentle exfoliant could smooth my skin so beautifully. And the more I learnt about harsh exfoliating techniques the more I realised just how important it is to use a gentle exfoliant so that we don't expose immature skin cells that then get damaged by the sun and environmental factors that promote dry, irritated and ageing skin. So yes, I'm a big fan of the AEOS exfoliants and love to use them to gently polish my skin so that all those dead skin cells are removed, allowing my products to work better and reach the deeper layers of the skin. Just a teeny tiny amount is needed per application making that bottle last for 3+ months. Love it!
