60-Second Calm Skin Routine with Herbal Infused Oils

Some days your face has seen it all — heat, dust, AC, traffic, screen time — and you only have a minute to breathe.

This calm skin routine is designed for those days: one infused oil + one minute of gentle massage to help your skin feel softer and your mind feel a little more relaxed.

No complicated steps. No harsh actives. Just simple, nature-powered care you can actually keep up with.

Why a Short, Gentle Face Massage Helps You Feel Calm

A few things we know from research and real-life experience:

  • Gentle facial massage can support local blood flow for a short time, which may help your skin look a bit more awake and refreshed after you’re done.
  • Massage is naturally relaxing for many people — the slow pressure and repeated strokes can feel like a mini “reset” after a long day.
  • Simple routines are easier to stick with. Current skincare trends are moving towards “skin minimalism”: fewer, more thoughtful steps, done consistently, instead of a long routine you abandon after a week.

This routine is not a medical treatment and it doesn’t promise to fix any skin condition. It’s a cosmetic, feel-good ritual to help you enjoy your infused oils in a safe, gentle way.

Infused Oil vs Essential Oil (and Why It Matters for Your Face)

If you’ve ever searched for “oils for glowing skin” or “herbal oil for face”, you’ve probably seen two main types: essential oils and infused oils.

Here’s the simple breakdown:

  • Essential oils
  • Highly concentrated plant aroma.
  • Usually need to be diluted in another oil before touching skin.
  • Can easily be too strong or irritating if used directly.
  • Infused oils
  • Herbs (like mint, marigold or lavender) are gently soaked in a carrier oil.
  • Result is a milder, ready-to-use cosmetic oil designed for direct topical use (with a patch test).
  • Great for everyday massage and moisturising.

In this routine we’re focusing on herbal infused oils — the kind Green Unison makes — because they’re designed as cosmetic oils for skin and hair, external use only, with a softer feel that suits quick, daily rituals.

Always read the label, keep them away from eyes and broken skin, and stop using if irritation shows up.

Step-by-Step: Calm Skin Routine in 60 Seconds

You can do this in front of a mirror, at your desk (with clean hands), or before bed after cleansing.

If your face is very sweaty or dusty, wash it gently and pat dry first.

Step 1: Choose Your Infused Oil (10 seconds)

Pick one infused oil that matches how you feel right now:

Or browse the full Infused Oils collection and pick the one that calls your name today.

New to a particular herb? Do a patch test on the inner arm and wait 24 hours before using it on your face.

Step 2: Prep Your Hands & Skin (10 seconds)

  1. Wash your hands or clean them with a wipe.
  2. Put 2–4 drops of your chosen infused oil into your palm.
  3. Rub your palms together to spread and warm the oil slightly.

You’re aiming for a light glide, not a heavy oil layer.

Step 3: 60-Second Gentle Massage Map

You can use fingers only — no tools needed. Keep pressure soft to medium, never rough.

0–15 seconds – Calm the jaw & cheeks

  • Place your fingers along your jawline.
  • Gently glide upwards towards your ears, then up to the cheekbones.
  • Repeat these slow strokes 3–4 times while breathing out deeply.

15–30 seconds – Smooth the cheeks outward

  • Place both hands on the centre of your face (beside the nose).
  • Glide your fingers outward towards the temples.
  • Think slow, sweeping strokes — like you’re wiping away the day’s stress.

30–45 seconds – Relax the forehead

  • Start at the centre of your forehead.
  • Glide your fingers outwards towards the temples in horizontal strokes.
  • Keep your shoulders relaxed; don’t clench your jaw.

45–60 seconds – Finish with a “hug” for your skin

  • Use both hands to gently “press and release” your cheeks:
  • Lightly press palms to cheeks.
  • Hold for 2–3 seconds.
  • Release.
  • Repeat over your forehead and chin.

If you have time, you can repeat the whole cycle once more. If not, you’ve still done a complete 60-second calm ritual.

Everyday Skin, Everyday Life: When to Use This Routine

You can fit this mini-ritual into different moments of your day:

  • Morning: After cleansing, before sunscreen — especially when the air feels dry or dusty.
  • Midday reset: After washing your face or using a gentle mist at work/home.
  • Night: After cleansing, as the last step before lights out.

Most people will be fine doing this once a day. If your skin is already using other active products (acids, retinoids, etc.), keep this routine very simple and listen to your skin. If anything stings or feels wrong, stop and rinse off with a gentle cleanser.

Which Green Unison Infused Oil Fits You Best?

Here’s a quick guide to help you choose, based on mood and feel, not skin “type” labels:

All infused oils are cosmetic products for external use only. Do not eat them, keep them away from eyes and broken skin, and discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Safety First: Gentle, Science-Aware Self Care

A few important reminders:

  • Patch test: Always patch test a new oil on a small area (like inner arm) and wait 24 hours.
  • Avoid sensitive areas: Keep oils away from eyes, lips, and broken or irritated skin.
  • Less is more: A few drops are enough. You don’t need to drench your face.
  • Health conditions: If you have ongoing skin issues or are under medical care, talk to a qualified health professional before adding new products or rituals.

This routine is about comfort and care, not diagnosing, treating, or curing any condition.
