Jeanette, who has the Swedish blog Go Green Makeup & Skincare, has written about how she does her Marina Miracle facial treatment at home, it's in Swedish, but it's just extra charming ;)

1 – Rosehip Peeling Mask

A clay mask that contains, among other things, rosehip, sea buckthorn, sunflower oil, clay as well as acids and probiotics from broccoli. The peeling granules come from sugarcane. Rosehip Peeling Mask is recommended for normal/oily/combination skin types. Apply to dry, well-cleansed skin. The consistency is creamy to apply. The duration of action is 15 – 30 minutes. I always take it cautiously so I use the lowest effective time ;)

Towards the end of the working time, I gently massage the sugar grains in the mask. Put a little water on your fingertips and it will go easier. Then rinse off with lukewarm water and pat dry with a soft towel. The mask does not dry out the skin, which makes it feel soft and comfortable throughout its duration of action. The skin feels soft afterwards without irritating. Even though this peeling mask is too normal for oily/combined skin types, I think it also works well on my skin with traction on the drier side.

2 – Shea Hydration Mask

A moisturizing mask with ingredients such as AloeVera, camellia (tea bush), shea butter, wild rose hip, hemp, a mix of fruit and herb extracts in vegatable glycerine. The consistency is fluffy and has an apple scent. The soft, fluffy consistency makes it easy to apply to the face. Shea Hydration Mask becomes transparent on the skin. The duration of action is 15 – 30 minutes or even overnight. Rinse sedan with lukewarm water. My skin absorbs this mask so it doesn't usually take much to rinse off. I have tried sleeping with the mask and it worked really well. Otherwise, I also choose the shortest duration here. The skin feels really moisturized afterwards. Can feel a little irritation in the skin in some places, but it quickly passes.

3 – Amaranth Oil

A luxurious anti-ageing oil that contains Amaranth oil which has a naturally very high content of squalene. In addition to amaranth oil, there is also jojoba oil, wild rosehip oil, rose water, hemp, ginger, cardamom and saffron.

It is important to shake the bottle so that the contents are mixed properly. The bottle comes with a dropper. I take 5-6 drops in the palm of my hand and then apply to the face with soft massaging movements. This oil can replace regular cream or can be used as a serum under facial cream. The oil has a mixed floral and spicy/herbal scent. I think it's semi-oily in consistency, but my skin gratefully slurps up these luxurious drops. I sometimes feel that this oil is more active compared to Herbal Face Oil and can leave the cheeks a little drier. On those occasions, I add a little extra avocado oil to the exposed parts.
