YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE
The Clean / FACE Ritual is our founder's answer to the skincare industry's habit of selling you eight products when three will do more.
One cleanser. Two serums. Award-winning at every step.
Together they replace the cleanser, the second cleanser, the toner, the moisturiser, the eye cream, the serum stack and the facial oil that most premium routines ask you to buy and figure out yourself.
ONE & DONE
Dual-Action Cleansing Balm
A hybrid cleansing balm that does the work of an oil cleanse and a milk cleanse in a single luscious step. Melts away the day's makeup, sunscreen and pollution. Rinses cleanly without stripping. 3x Beauty Shortlist 2026 winner.
I WOKE UP LIKE THIS

YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE
Supercharged Glow Drops
A golden oil serum powered by 15 nutrient-rich oils and Bakuchiol, a proven natural alternative to retinol. Locks in everything underneath, softens fine lines and finishes with that lit-from-within glow. Winner: Best Lightweight Serum, All Skin Types.
Which routine is right for you?
All three routines are built around the same award-winning serum duo. Original pairs them with a full sensory experience, warm and grounding from a blend of essential oils. Pure keeps every active, drops every drop of fragrance. The cleanser then matches your skin type and scent preference.

The CleanserRose wax, kokum butter and a powerhouse botanical blend that cocoons skin in hydration while it cleanses. Naturally scented with rose, geranium and frankincense.
The SerumsYOU ARE MY SUNSHINE Original. Warm and grounding with rose geranium, frankincense and carrot seed. The kind of scent that makes your skincare feel like a ritual.
Original (Force of Nature)
Pick this if your skin is oily, combination, or you want a deeper clean.
The CleanserDark lavender, patchouli, myrrh and kaolin clay for a grounding, deeply refreshing cleanse that removes heavier makeup and SPF without stripping.
The SerumsYOU ARE MY SUNSHINE Original. Warm and grounding with rose geranium, frankincense and carrot seed. The kind of scent that makes your skincare feel like a ritual.
Pure (Essential Oil Free)
Pick this if your skin is sensitive, extremely dry, or fragrance-free is a must.
The CleanserNZ kawakawa and hemp with kokum butter and bisabolol. Ultra-gentle and completely fragrance-free, designed for skin that reacts to everything.
The SerumsYOU ARE MY SUNSHINE Pure. No essential oils, no fragrance of any kind. A soft, purely woody warmth from the Bakuchiol and carrier oils alone. The complete fragrance-free routine.
Less to buy. More to show for it.

What you actually need
Cleansing- ONE & DONE Dual-Action Cleansing Balm
Evening only. In the morning, water is enough, particularly if your skin is dry or sensitive.
Treat & Glow- I WOKE UP LIKE THIS Beyond-Hydration Perfecting Serum
- YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE Supercharged Glow Drops
How it works
Cleanse. Treat. Glow.
The full evening routine. Two minutes, start to finish.
– Evening –
01
Cleanse
ONE & DONE
Take a small amount on the wand, massage onto dry or damp skin. Add a splash of water and watch it transform into a milky cleanser. Rinse cleanly. The day, the makeup and the SPF are gone. Your skin is not stripped, it is prepped.
02
Treat
I WOKE UP LIKE THIS
Press 4 to 5 drops into damp skin. Multi-level hydration plus brightening, barrier repair, niacinamide and gentle resurfacing all sink in at once. Skin feels plumped, calm and ready for sleep to do the rest.
03
Glow
YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE
Press 3 to 4 drops over the top. Locks in everything underneath, softens fine lines with Bakuchiol and finishes with that lit-from-within glow that you usually only see the morning after a facial.
– Morning –
Splash with water. Steps 2 and 3. Follow with SPF. We don't believe you need to cleanse your face in the morning, and we think the brands that tell you to are mostly trying to sell you a second cleanser.
Real results
From women who stopped overthinking it
“I'm a long-term Korean skincare routine convert. These two little potions just blow whatever I've used in the past out of the water.
My skin has never looked or felt better.”
“I'm a busy professional and went from using a 10-step high-end luxury skin routine to these products. I've really enjoyed the simplicity without feeling like I've lost efficacy.
LOVE these products, how simple they are and what they do for my skin.”
“I was using the FACE Ritual, then I heard about Emma Lewisham and as I was in Oz on a holiday and it was cheaper I thought, let's try it.
But in all honesty, I came back to the FACE Ritual. It's just so much easier, my skin feels hydrated and great.”
Step 1 hero ingredients
ONE & DONE
Dual-Action Cleansing Balm
Hybrid Wax + Oil System
A balm-to-milk transformation that does the work of an oil cleanser and a milk cleanser in one step. Lifts everything off, rinses cleanly.
Skin-Barrier Botanicals
Each variant is built around skin-supportive botanicals: rose wax (Rose Above), kawakawa and hemp (Green Goddess), or lavender and rosemary (Force of Nature).
Designed for the Serums That Follow
No stripping, no residue, no synthetic surfactant film. Formulated specifically to leave skin perfectly prepped for I WOKE UP LIKE THIS and YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE.
A note from the founder and formulator
If you're tired of guessing, I built this for you.
I used to have a full shelf: Sunday Riley, Drunk Elephant, Elemis, Dr. Dennis Gross — the lot. I knew what everything on the INCI list was and I had an opinion on all of them. Then I had a baby at 40 and my world tipped upside down. I didn't have time or headspace for any of it, let alone for “me”.
So I started from scratch. If I could only keep two products, what would they actually need to do? Hydrate properly — not sit on the surface, but genuinely sink in at every layer. Brighten. Repair. And finish with the kind of glow that makes you look like you slept well even when you didn't.
That's the / FACE Ritual. I WOKE UP LIKE THIS because hydration and brightening done properly is what most expensive routines are actually trying to achieve. YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE because every woman deserves to look in the mirror and see the glow.
Two steps. Morning and night. That is the entire routine.
I make these because I use these. Thank you for trusting me, and trusting MATER, with your skin.
