Why All Three Steps Matter: The Science Behind the Frena Facial System

Why All Three Steps Matter: The Science Behind the Frena Facial System

Most people are used to a one step skincare routine. Wash face, apply moisturizer, done. So when I tell people Frena is a three step system, the first question is always the same. Do I really need all three?

Yes. And here is why.

Step 1. Hydrate. Facial Serum.

The serum goes on first and it is the foundation of everything that follows. It floods your skin with water based moisture and actives including hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, beta-glucan, panthenol and allantoin. These ingredients work at the surface and just below it to plump, smooth and even your skin tone.

Without this step the next two steps have nothing to lock in. You are essentially skipping the foundation and going straight to the roof.

Step 2. Nourish. Facial Oil.

Once your skin is hydrated the facial oil delivers something different. Essential fatty acids. These are the building blocks your skin barrier actually needs to function and most of us are not getting enough of them from a standard moisturizer.

A blend of rosehip, black raspberry seed, tamanu, camellia and broccoli seed oils absorbs quickly and feeds the skin at a deeper level. This is the step that builds resilience over time. Skin that bounces back. Skin that does not react to everything.

Step 3. Seal. Facial Cream.

This is the most important one.

Tallow combined with murumuru and cupuaçu butters lock everything in so none of that hydration escapes into the air. The cream also contains niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, beta-glucan, panthenol and allantoin so your skin keeps getting support all day or all night long.

Without a proper seal you are losing most of the benefit of steps one and two. Your skin drinks in the moisture and the oil and then it evaporates. The cream is what keeps it there.

Why It Works as a System

Each step does a job the other cannot. The serum hydrates. The oil nourishes. The cream seals. In that order, every time.

That is why it is a system and not just a moisturizer. When all three work together your skin barrier gets everything it needs to be the best version of itself.
