The best thing you can do for your skin is to give it your time.

 

Understanding your skin can feel like a huge task, but we aim to make it simple. When you know your skin type, what it needs, and what's holding you back from reaching your goals, everything gets easier. You stop guessing, wasting money, and start choosing products that work for you.

 

At JOËLLE MARTINE we create skin care for real skin - every type, every concern, every season.

And if you aren't sure where to start, you're not alone. 

That's exactly why we made this guide - to help you figure out your skin and build a skin care ritual that makes sense for you.

WHY DO I NEED TO TAKE CARE OF MY SKIN DAILY?

A daily skin care routine does more than you think. Some benefits you’ll see immediately, and some take time and consistency.

 

Starting early can help slow visible signs of aging and support your skin long-term. But no matter when you begin, it’s never too late to care for your skin in a way that makes a difference.

 

The right products can help smooth fine lines, improve texture, and bring your skin back to life—so you look refreshed and feel confident.

 

Your routine is also a moment for you.

 

Taking a few minutes each day to care for your skin can help you reset, unwind, and feel more grounded. It’s a small act of self-care that adds up—supporting not just how you look, but how you feel.

 

Even something simple, like applying a weekly masque, can turn into a moment to slow down and recharge.

 

Your skin works around the clock: producing oil, shedding dead cells, and repairing itself while you sleep. A consistent morning and night routine helps support these natural processes so your skin can function at its best.

 

 

In the morning, cleansing and protecting your skin helps remove overnight buildup and defend against daily environmental stressors like sun exposure and pollution. At night, cleansing and nourishing allows your skin to properly repair, regenerate, and restore balance.

 

 

Skipping either step can lead to clogged pores, dryness, or irritation over time. Daily care isn’t just about appearance it’s about maintaining your skin’s health, strength, and longevity.

 

Not sure where to start?

 

That’s okay. Our product recommendation quiz is a great place to begin. It won’t replace understanding your skin—but it will point you in the right direction.

WHERE DO I START?

Ready to begin your skin care journey?

Let’s keep it simple.

 

Before choosing products or getting caught up in ingredients, start with one thing: understanding your skin.

 

What does it need?

What are you trying to improve?

 

Everyone’s skin is different.

What works for someone else might not work for you—and that’s completely normal.

 

Finding what works can take time. Your first approach might not be the right one, and that’s part of the process. Skin care is a journey, and we’re here to guide you along the way.

 

A simple place to start:

 

Pay attention to your skin a few hours after cleansing—before applying any products.

Does it feel Dry? Oily? Clean? Sensitive?

 

That tells you more than you think.

 

And because your skin can change over time and with different seasons in our lives, it helps to check in regularly and notice patterns as you go.

Interested in how the seasons of the year impact your skin?

SKIN TYPES

NORMAL SKIN

Your skin is not too dry, nor is it too oily. You may have a few spots of acne from time to time, but nothing that gets out of hand or stays for too long.

No, or few imperfections

No severe sensitivity or redness

Radiant complexion

No flakes or dry spots

No oily patches

DRY SKIN

Your skin can crack, peel, or flake. It becomes dry, itchy, irritated, or inflamed. It can be rough or scaly, especially on your hands, arms, and legs.

Dull, rough patches

Red patches

Visible lines

Flaky skin

Dry skin can be caused by your genes, aging, hormonal changes, the weather (such as wind, sun, or cold), UV radiation from tanning beds, excessive indoor heating, long hot baths/showers, certain medications, or the ingredients in your current soaps/cosmetics/cleansers or toners that strip your skin.

 

Some ways that you can combat this is to: take shorter showers/baths and make sure they are not scalding hot, don't over scrub your skin, use mild soaps or cleansers, apply a moisturizer daily and reapply as needed throughout the day.

OILY SKIN 

Your skin is oily overall, not just in specific areas. You may find that your makeup smears easily or you have a sheen under harsh light. It looks like you've just finished working out when you haven't even stepped outside yet.

Enlarged pores

Shiny complexion

Blackheads, pimples, or other blemishes

Oily skin can change depending on the time of the year or the weather. Things that can make it worse include puberty, hormonal imbalances, stress, heat, or too much humidity. Sometimes, oily skin can even be dry skin in disguise! 

 

Oil is caused by a build up sebum from your sebaceous glands and is made up of fats. It isn't all bad! Oil keeps your skin and hair moisturized and healthy, but an overabundance of it leaves you feeling icky and clogs your pores.

 

You can combat this by: washing your skin twice a day and after sweating a lot, using a gentle cleanser and not over-scrubbing your skin, not picking at pimples or blackheads, and using products that are "noncomedogenic" - which is just a fancy word meaning that they do not clog your pores.

COMBINATION SKIN

Your skin can be normal or dry in certain areas, but oily in others - such as the T-Zone.

Pores may look larger in the t-zone 

than the rest of the face

Blackheads

Shiny, oily skin in the t-zone 

and around the nose

Dry, flaky or normal skin 

around the rest of the face

WHAT ORDER DO I USE MY PRODUCTS IN?

To put it simply: Thinnest to Thickest

When you use your products this way it allows the molecules to pass through the layers of your skin and not block each other from getting as deep as possible.

CORE PRODUCTS

REMOVE YOUR MAKEUP

If you wear makeup or sunscreen during the day, you want a makeup remover designed to cut through waterproof/oilproof eyeliners and foundations. Apply this to a cotton pad and remove your makeup gently or double-cleanse with one of our cleansers.

JOËLLE MARTINE Products

CLEANSE

You should cleanse every morning and every night.

Your cleanser should leave your skin feeling clean, but not stripped.

JOËLLE MARTINE Products

HYDRATE

Hydration and Moisturizing are not the same, although they are related.

 

Hydrators increase the water content of the layers of your skin, which makes your skin plump and bouncy. It sinks deep into the skin and is usually very lightweight.

 

You need both for a happy skin barrier. 

JOËLLE MARTINE Products

MOISTURIZE

The final step to your basic routine should be moisturizing. 

 

Moisturizers trap and seal in moisture to build up the skin's protective barrier, prevent water loss, and keep the skin soft and smooth. They tend to be your thicker serums but should not leave your skin feeling oily after they sink in.

JOËLLE MARTINE Products

EXPANDED PRODUCTS

EXFOLIATORS / SCRUBS

When we are talking about exfoliation, we are either talking about acids or the physical act of scrubbing the skin to remove dead skin.

Our exfoliators - like our Clear Skin Cocktail - contain gentle cocktails of AHA's, BHA's, ascorbic acid, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and/or lactic acids that work to remove the dead skin sitting on the top layer, to reveal the healthy new skin cells beneath. These products work for you even after you've finished washing your face.

Everything Scrub also contains ingredients that work after you're through washing your face, but it also exfoliates as you gently massage it onto your skin in a circular motion. You want to be careful not to scrub too aggressively. Use this product 2-3 times a week during your evening cleanse, giving your skin 2 days in between uses.

 

Exfoliants are meant to be used only a few times a week, so be sure to read the instructions before you go overboard and dry your skin out!

If you do, give your skin 1 week without exfoliation to let it heal and come back to its normal state of being before adjusting and trying again.

JOËLLE MARTINE Products

MINI-PEELS

We won't be going over full-blown peels here as that is something you should always discuss with your skin care professional first! But there are plenty of products that offer you the benefits of a peel, while still being gentle enough that you do not need to worry about causing damage to your skin.

 

So, first, what is a peel and why do you need it?

 

A peel, also known as a chemical peel in a professional spa or a mini-peel that you can take home with you, is a cocktail of acids that breaks down dead skin cells and sloughs them off, revealing the healthy, new skin layer below.

 

Anything with a cocktail of acids in it works as a peel on some level- that could be AHAs, BHAs, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, etc.

 

When used regularly, this can cause dull skin to be brighter and 

tighter. It reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles and can clear acne and blackheads. Mini-peels can also address hyperpigmentation, so it works for those with sun spots and other unwanted dark spots.

 

These products can vary in strength and should always be used according to their directions to avoid over-drying the skin or causing burns.

 

Typically, these are your "nighttime" products as they work best if used when your body is naturally turning over cells.

JOËLLE MARTINE Products

MASQUES

A masque might seem like an "extra" in your skin care routine, but they can be very beneficial when used even just once a week! Think of it like a "detox" for your skin.

 

While most companies have a specific concern that their masques target, our masques are hand-crafted to target several different concerns at a time. Due to their powder form, they can even be mixed together and/or with Everything Scrub to create a super-masque!

 

JOËLLE MARTINE masques are mixed as needed in order to ensure that you are receiving the freshest organic ingredients without the preservatives. This means that they have a long shelf-life as well!

 

Our masques can be used once a week, whenever you have at least 15 - 30 minutes to apply and wait.

They target acne, fine lines/wrinkles, brightening, tightening, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, sensitive skin, inflammation, hydration, and are made with lactic acid so you get a mini-peel at the same time. Once they are mixed, they have a 3-day shelf life - just pop them in the fridge.
 

Your masque should be used after you Cleanse, but before you Moisturize. Because they are a mini-peel they should not be used on the same day that you are using Everything Scrub with your cleanser, Clean & Tone, Clear Skin Cocktail, or Moisturizing Night Serum. A gentle Oat Cleanser and following the masque with an oil and Moisturizing Day Serum is the way to go.

JOËLLE MARTINE Products

OILS

"Don't I want less oil?"

We hear you! But our oils will not cause you to walk away feeling slick and shiny! Emu oil is a noncomedogenic moisturizer, six-times refined, cold-pressed, and purified.

But what does that mean?

 

Put simply, it means we've scoured the world to bring you the highest quality oil out there. It's thick and creamy, smooth and nourishing.

Emu oil has been used by Aboriginal tribes for centuries and it is now being studied again as it heals your skin and causes other products to penetrate at the deepest layer. Its molecules are so small that it doesn't get stuck in the epidermis or even in the dermis. It can penetrate clear to the bone and is good, not only for your skin, but for your health as well. We love it so much, it's our Point of Difference. It's in almost all of our products!

They target acne, fine lines/wrinkles, brightening, tightening, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, sensitive skin, inflammation, hydration, and are made with lactic acid so you get a mini-peel at the same time. Once they are mixed, they have a 3-day shelf life - just pop them in the fridge.
 

Your masque should be used after you Cleanse, but before you Moisturize. Because they are a mini-peel they should not be used on the same day that you are using Everything Scrub with your cleanser, Clean & Tone, Clear Skin Cocktail, or Moisturizing Night Serum. A gentle Oat Cleanser and following the masque with an oil and Moisturizing Day Serum is the way to go.

JOËLLE MARTINE Products

HANDS & BODY

Caring for your skin doesn't stop at your face.

 

Our head-to-toe body care essentials are designed to cleanse, nourish, and protect the skin with simple, effective ingredients. Our Orange Spice Hand & Body Wash is a gentle, low-foaming soap made with plant-based surfactants that wash away impurities without stripping the skin barrier. Lightly scented with sweet orange, jasmine, and clove, it leaves skin feeling soft, refreshed, and balanced.

 

Follow with our Orange Spice Hand & Body Lotion, a fast-absorbing daily moisturizer crafted with nourishing plant oils and botanical extracts to hydrate, soften, and soothe. This lightweight formula replenishes moisture while leaving behind a bright citrus, floral, and softly spiced scent. Perfect for daily use after showering or hand washing.

For deeper nourishment, our Whipped Tallow is a rich multi-purpose moisturizer that can be used from head to toe or as an overnight mask to lock in moisture. Made with grass-fed tallow rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and naturally occurring CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid), it helps calm inflammation, support the skin barrier, improve hydration, and address dryness, rough patches, and visible signs of aging. Gentle, deeply absorbent, and non-comedogenic, it’s suitable for all skin types—even sensitive skin.

JOËLLE MARTINE Products

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

These are the ingredients that are active on your skin. They are not binders, thickeners, or fragrances.  Most active ingredients will be on a product label, but, in general the FDA doesn't test skin care products before they are released so new studies are being done constantly.

 

JOËLLE MARTINE will never hide our ingredients from you.

We do the heavy-lifting and research each ingredient in depth before agreeing to put it into our products so that we know it's good for your skin and for your health.

We do not use parabens, SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate), dyes, or fragrances. Instead, we rely on our natural ingredients to produce beautiful colors and smells. And we never, ever test on our animal friends!

OUR KEY INGREDIENTS

There are many ingredients in our products that have benefits that span multiple concerns. 

Let's break down our favorite ingredients and tell you why they're top of our list:

EMU NECTAR

Ultra-fine, six-times refined, cold pressed Emu Nectar! This is what drags each product down to the deepest level. 

It is comprised of oleic acid, palmitic acid, linoleic acid, and antioxidants. These fight inflammation, dry skin, and water loss. In addition to its moisturizing capabilities, emu oil has positive effects on collagen production

Collagen is one of the compounds that keeps your skin elastic, plump, and wrinkle-free. Emu oil’s antioxidant properties can also target any signs of aging caused by oxidative stress. 

It's Omega 3, 6, and 9 strengthens and promotes healthy hair growth for your eyelashes and eyebrows. 

It is currently being studied for its ability to heal third degree burns! This is why our founder, Suzi Provenche, fell in love with Emu Nectar - you can read more about that here - and decided it should be in almost all of her products!

We could go on and on, but this is the star of the show!

VITAMIN-C

Brighter, tighter, and dewy! 

When we’re young, vitamin-C levels in skin’s outermost two layers (epidermis and dermis) are abundant, but as we age, these levels naturally deplete. Also known as ascorbic acid or l-ascorbic acid, vitamin-C is the most researched in terms of beneficial effects on the skin. It is commonly found in well-formulated skin care products, but we are proud to offer it in a more powerful format - a powder. This powder is so fine, it will penetrate deep into the skin and be absorbed to increase efficacy. 

 

Vitamin-C’s benefits for your skin are vast, including its ability to even out skin tone and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. While this powerhouse ingredient is well-known for its skin-brightening benefits, research also shows it can shield skin from the visible impacts of environmental stressors, including free radical damage.

 

When used, vitamin-C stays in your skin for up to 3 days! That's a whole lot of benefit for such a tiny powder!

Our Everything Scrub can be used on the face and/or body and should be used 2-3 times a week.

OATS

Did you know that oats are a natural cleanser and gentle exfoliator?

Oats are loaded with antioxidants, nutrients, vitamins, and lipids - but these are not just your run-of-the-mill breakfast cereal oats!

These oats are finely ground down whole-bran oats which protect your skin and provide a barrier of moisture. It contains anti-inflammatory vitamin-E to fix red, itchy, dry patches and calm angry acne. Oats contains flavonoids, which help to absorb damaging ultraviolet-A (UVA) rays. Flavonoids can even protect your skin from harsh pollutants and chemicals.


 

Due to its gentle nature, oats are good for every skin type - even sensitive skin types especially people who have eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea. That's why, if you are suffering from these conditions, we recommend Oat Cleanser.

Is there anything I should know if I am a POC?

People of color are more susceptible to hyperpigmentation. You may be more likely to develop melasma or post-acne dark spots, or scarring after inflammatory skin issues such as acne, psoriasis, or eczema.

 

This can be especially frustrating when looking at treatments that are recommended for women with lighter skin - like laser treatments. It might make you wary to try certain brightening skin care products. 

 

But skin care has come a long way for skin of color in recent years! 

Vitamin-C is perfectly safe for treating any pesky dark spots you may have. 

 

JOËLLE MARTINE serves women from all over the world and we are happy to say that our skin care line was designed with everyone in mind. 

We're here to help you achieve your perfect glow.

 

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us so that we can help answer them.

I'm pregnant (or am planning on becoming pregnant soon).  Can I use all of your products?

Typically, when you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you may need to temporarily stop using some skin care products. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, pregnant people should avoid using retinoids. You may also need to limit your use of salicylic acid.

 

These suggestions are based on an absence of conclusive evidence that they are safe rather than having evidence that they are harmful. Above all, it's important to check in with your doctor or dermatologist before using something on your skin while pregnant or breastfeeding.

 

Our products to avoid are: Clean & Tone Cleanser, Clear Skin Cocktail, and Moisturizing Night Serum.


 

Instead, we recommend switching to Oat Cleanser, Day Serum, and our Organic Rose Petal Masque Powder. 

 

Not only will these products keep your skin glowing, you'll also be able to breathe in a relaxing essential oil to help you through your pregnancy and the early months of raising your baby.

I have a question that wasn't answered here!

We're sorry we didn't quite touch on all of the things you were hoping to learn!

We're always happy to help answer your questions. Who knows, your question might even be added to this guide!

 

Send us a message here and we will be happy to have a team member get back to you within 2-3 business days!

JOËLLE MARTINE Products

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

These are the ingredients that are active on your skin. They are not binders, thickeners, or fragrances.  Most active ingredients will be on a product label, but, in general the FDA doesn't test skin care products before they are released so new studies are being done constantly.

 

JOËLLE MARTINE will never hide our ingredients from you.

We do the heavy-lifting and research each ingredient in depth before agreeing to put it into our products so that we know it's good for your skin and for your health.

We do not use parabens, SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate), dyes, or fragrances. Instead, we rely on our natural ingredients to produce beautiful colors and smells. And we never, ever test on our animal friends!

OUR KEY INGREDIENTS

There are many ingredients in our products that have benefits that span multiple concerns. 

Let's break down our favorite ingredients and tell you why they're top of our list:

EMU NECTAR

Ultra-fine, six-times refined, cold pressed Emu Nectar! This is what drags each product down to the deepest level. 

It is comprised of oleic acid, palmitic acid, linoleic acid, and antioxidants. These fight inflammation, dry skin, and water loss. In addition to its moisturizing capabilities, emu oil has positive effects on collagen production

Collagen is one of the compounds that keeps your skin elastic, plump, and wrinkle-free. Emu oil’s antioxidant properties can also target any signs of aging caused by oxidative stress. 

It's Omega 3, 6, and 9 strengthens and promotes healthy hair growth for your eyelashes and eyebrows. 

It is currently being studied for its ability to heal third degree burns! This is why our founder, Suzi Provenche, fell in love with Emu Nectar - you can read more about that here - and decided it should be in almost all of her products!

We could go on and on, but this is the star of the show!

VITAMIN-C

Brighter, tighter, and dewy! 

When we’re young, vitamin-C levels in skin’s outermost two layers (epidermis and dermis) are abundant, but as we age, these levels naturally deplete. Also known as ascorbic acid or l-ascorbic acid, vitamin-C is the most researched in terms of beneficial effects on the skin. It is commonly found in well-formulated skin care products, but we are proud to offer it in a more powerful format - a powder. This powder is so fine, it will penetrate deep into the skin and be absorbed to increase efficacy. 

 

Vitamin-C’s benefits for your skin are vast, including its ability to even out skin tone and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. While this powerhouse ingredient is well-known for its skin-brightening benefits, research also shows it can shield skin from the visible impacts of environmental stressors, including free radical damage.

 

When used, vitamin-C stays in your skin for up to 3 days! That's a whole lot of benefit for such a tiny powder!

Our Everything Scrub can be used on the face and/or body and should be used 2-3 times a week.

OATS

Did you know that oats are a natural cleanser and gentle exfoliator?

Oats are loaded with antioxidants, nutrients, vitamins, and lipids - but these are not just your run-of-the-mill breakfast cereal oats!

These oats are finely ground down whole-bran oats which protect your skin and provide a barrier of moisture. It contains anti-inflammatory vitamin-E to fix red, itchy, dry patches and calm angry acne. Oats contains flavonoids, which help to absorb damaging ultraviolet-A (UVA) rays. Flavonoids can even protect your skin from harsh pollutants and chemicals.


 

Due to its gentle nature, oats are good for every skin type - even sensitive skin types especially people who have eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea. That's why, if you are suffering from these conditions, we recommend Oat Cleanser.

Is there anything I should know if I am a POC?

People of color are more susceptible to hyperpigmentation. You may be more likely to develop melasma or post-acne dark spots, or scarring after inflammatory skin issues such as acne, psoriasis, or eczema.

 

This can be especially frustrating when looking at treatments that are recommended for women with lighter skin - like laser treatments. It might make you wary to try certain brightening skin care products. 

 

But skin care has come a long way for skin of color in recent years! 

Vitamin-C is perfectly safe for treating any pesky dark spots you may have. 

 

JOËLLE MARTINE serves women from all over the world and we are happy to say that our skin care line was designed with everyone in mind. 

We're here to help you achieve your perfect glow.

 

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us so that we can help answer them.

I'm pregnant (or am planning on becoming pregnant soon).  Can I use all of your products?

Typically, when you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you may need to temporarily stop using some skin care products. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, pregnant people should avoid using retinoids. You may also need to limit your use of salicylic acid.

 

These suggestions are based on an absence of conclusive evidence that they are safe rather than having evidence that they are harmful. Above all, it's important to check in with your doctor or dermatologist before using something on your skin while pregnant or breastfeeding.

 

Our products to avoid are: Clean & Tone Cleanser, Clear Skin Cocktail, and Moisturizing Night Serum.


 

Instead, we recommend switching to Oat Cleanser, Day Serum, and our Organic Rose Petal Masque Powder. 

 

Not only will these products keep your skin glowing, you'll also be able to breathe in a relaxing essential oil to help you through your pregnancy and the early months of raising your baby.
