FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long will it take for my skin to adjust to Sageborn products?
The time it takes for your skin to adjust to an all-natural skin care line can vary depending on several factors, but here is a general guide. Your skin has a natural renewal cycle of about 28 days, meaning it usually takes at least one full cycle for your skin to adapt to new products. In the first 1-2 weeks, you might notice slight dryness, redness, or mild breakouts (“purging/detoxing”) as your skin adjusts. This happens because natural products often lack occlusive silicones or synthetic stabilizers that can mask underlying skin issues. In weeks 3-4, your skin begins balancing oil production as well as barrier function and you should start to see signs of improvement in texture, hydration, or tone. We recommend starting slowly, using one product at a time and also doing a patch test to a small area (such as along your jaw bone) before applying to your whole face.
Why should I choose Sageborn?
Sageborn products are thoughtfully created with each organic ingredient having a purpose in healing the skin. Our founder, Stephanie has more than 25 years working in the skin care/wellness industry. Sageborn products are made in small batches, using only the highest quality ingredients, each product is made drop by drop. When you choose Sageborn, you are supporting a small, female owned business.
If I have oily skin, why should I choose oils for my skin?
It might seem counterintuitive, but oil-based skin care products can actually be great for oily skin when formulated and used correctly. Oil-based cleansers and moisturizers can dissolve excess sebum and deep-clean pores more effectively than harsh foaming cleansers. Instead of stripping your skin’s natural oils (which can trigger more oil production), oil-based products help balance it. Many oily-skin issues come from an impaired moisture barrier. Natural oils contain essential fatty acids and antioxidants that help repair and strengthen this barrier, reducing inflammation and dehydration. When your skin feels dry or stripped, it compensates by overproducing oil. Providing light, nourishing oils tells your skin it’s already hydrated, so it slows down sebum output over time.
Can I use Sageborn products with another skin care line?
It all depends on your skin. We recommend patch testing if you are choosing to use other lines in addition to Sageborn. Sageborn products were created to be used as a system to create naturally vibrant skin. You will see the best results when all used together.
