How to Use
Step 1: Begin with clean, dry skin. Dispense 1–2 pumps of the serum into your hands and press gently into your skin to activate a hydration burst
Step 2: Use upward, gentle motions, smooth the serum evenly across your face, focusing on areas prone to dryness or redness. Allow the formula to absorb fully—about 30 seconds—for maximum hydration and barrier repair.
Step 3: Apply makeup or letting the radiant, second-skin finish shine on its own. For ultra smooth, extended wear, apply makeup immediately after the serum sets.

What causes skin barrier degradation?
When a breakup leaves your heart—and your skin barrier—shattered into a million pieces, we’re here to help you piece it securely back together, even stronger.
Insecure Relationships + Unhealthy Bonds
Anxiety from people pleasing and fear of judgement can lead to a cycle of stress, spiking cortisol levels. This weakens the skin barrier, triggering redness, dryness, and sensitivity.
Excessive Touching and Skin Picking
Self-consciousness about perceived 'imperfections' (it’s not you, it’s unrealistic beauty standards!) can lead to skin picking or excessive touching as a coping mechanism to feel in control. It’s an illusion—but the microtears, inflammation, and increased breakouts this habit causes are very real.
Lack of Boundaries
Just as a lack of emotional boundaries leaves us vulnerable to stress, a compromised skin barrier makes skin susceptible to dryness, flakiness, and external irritants.
Hormonal Changes
Sensitive, acne-prone skin often cycles through redness, pain, and rawness, making makeup feel like the only way feel relief from fear of judgment. But over dried hotspots creates uneven textures that disrupt a smooth makeup application, at the same time high cortisol and low oxytocin fuel insecurities, trapping us in a self-worth spiral. Agh!

SOMATIC SKIN RITUAL
What does loving myself look like in action?
Secure attachment is the ability to trust that you can meet your own needs with care and consistency. This ritual integrates evidence-based practices from psychology and skincare science, blending techniques like EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) and IFS (Internal Family Systems) with a clinically tested formula to address both skin and self-insecurity. Designed to soothe sensitive skin and guide emotional regulation, it helps you build trust in your skin and your sense of self with every step."
Step 1: Ground Yourself
Cleanse your face with lukewarm water, feeling the refreshing sensations on skin. Take three deep breaths and gently tap your fingertips on your temples or jawline. Say aloud, "I am safe in this moment. My skin and I are worthy of care."
Step 2: Activate with Intention
Dispense 1–2 pumps onto your hands. Gently press into skin, giving extra love to areas that feel dry or irritated, imagining the hydration soothing both your skin and your inner critic. Ask yourself, "What does loving myself look like in action?"
Step 3: Connect and Reframe
Smooth across your face in upward, gentle motions, letting the silky texture hug your skin like an act of self-kindness.
Replace negative thoughts like "I have to fix my skin" with the affirmation "I am worthy of care just as I am."
If insecurities surface, gently tap along your collarbone or cheeks as you say these affirmations to help them stick.
Step 4: Lock in Safety
Allow the serum to absorb, forming a hydrating, breathable layer that feels secure and protective. Place your hands over your face and breathe deeply, saying, "I’m here for us. I will show up with care every time." Imagine this moment as building a foundation of trust—both in your skin and in yourself.
Step 5: Radiate Confidence
Apply makeup or let your natural glow shine. Looking into your mirror ask yourself, "How can I carry this feeling of self-love into my day?" Commit to noticing and replacing self-critical thoughts with small acts of self-kindness.
FAQs
What does “Secure Attachment Comfort Serum+” mean?
The name reflects the product’s dual benefits: it helps “secure” your skin barrier while creating a comforting, hydrated base for makeup or bare skin. It’s inspired by the concept of secure attachment in psychology, symbolizing trust, resilience, and care for yourself and your skin.
What makes this different from other primers or serums?
Unlike most primers that only prep skin for makeup, this serum offers long-term skincare benefits, including hydration, barrier repair, and cortisol damage protection. It bridges the gap between skincare and makeup, ensuring your skin thrives beneath the surface.
Can I use this serum without makeup?
Absolutely! The serum creates a radiant, second-skin finish that looks beautiful on its own while delivering hydration and strengthening your skin barrier.
Is it suitable for my skin type (e.g., melanated, oily, dry)?
Yes! This formula is universal. It’s lightweight enough for oily skin, hydrating for dry skin, and adaptive for melanated skin, helping to reduce redness or uneven tone without leaving a white cast.
Is this product cruelty-free, vegan, and sustainable?
Yes, it’s 100% cruelty-free and vegan, with sustainably sourced ingredients and environmentally conscious packaging.
Why should I follow the 5-step ritual? What are the benefits?
The ritual transforms skincare into self-care. It not only enhances the serum’s physical benefits—like hydration and barrier repair—but also incorporates mindfulness techniques that promote emotional regulation and self-compassion.
How often should I use this serum? Morning, evening, or both?
Use it morning and evening. In the morning, it primes and protects your skin; at night, it repairs and hydrates.
Do I need to layer it with other products in my routine?
It works beautifully on its own, but you can layer it with sunscreen in the morning or richer moisturizers at night if your skin needs extra hydration.
What if I don’t have time for a full ritual—can I still see results?
Yes! Simply apply the serum as part of your basic routine, and you’ll still benefit from its hydration, barrier repair, and makeup-gripping properties.
How does this ritual help with self-confidence and emotional regulation?
The ritual combines reflective questions and soothing touch, helping you connect with yourself emotionally. This process encourages positive self-talk and calms your nervous system, improving both your mindset and skin health.
What is “secure attachment,” and how does it apply to skincare?
Secure attachment is the ability to trust that your needs will be met with care and consistency. In skincare, it means building a relationship with your skin based on trust—nurturing it with products and practices that strengthen and soothe.
How can this serum and ritual help with negative self-talk?
The ritual integrates affirmations and reflective questions that replace self-criticism with compassion. Pairing these with physical care helps create new, positive associations between your reflection and self-worth.
What are EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) and IFS (Internal Family Systems), and how are they used in this ritual?
- EFT: Uses techniques like tapping to calm your body and shift negative emotional cycles.
- IFS: Encourages acknowledgment of the parts of you that feel insecure or critical, offering them compassion instead of judgment.
This ritual adapts both modalities to help you regulate emotions and connect to yourself.
Why is emotional regulation important for skin health?
Stress triggers cortisol production, which weakens your skin barrier, increases redness, and causes breakouts. Emotional regulation helps lower stress, which, when combined with this serum, creates healthier, more resilient skin.
What kind of results can I expect, and how soon will I see them?
You’ll notice immediate hydration, smoother skin, and less redness. Over 4 weeks, you’ll see improved barrier strength, reduced sensitivity, and long-lasting radiance.
How does this serum create a long-term difference compared to other products?
Its clinically tested formula strengthens the skin barrier, protects against cortisol damage, and provides hydration that adapts to your skin’s needs, delivering results that last far beyond application.
Will it really help my makeup last longer?
Yes! The serum creates a grippy, breathable layer that locks makeup in place, resisting fading, patchiness, and humidity.
