Skincare Samples

Most of them are made with sensitive skin in mind, and several of our best-loved products are unscented and essential oil free. But we'd rather be straight with you than give you a blanket yes: some of our formulas carry essential oils and some of our deodorants carry bicarb, and those are the two we'd expect to be more likely to trouble sensitive skin. So it depends which product, and it depends on your skin.

If you're starting from scratch, this is the facial routine we'd suggest:

1. Cleanse - Cloud 9 Deep Cleansing Balm, removed with lukewarm water and a Konjac Sponge.
2. Hydrate - Raindrops Hydrating Face Mist.
3. Moisturise - Over the Moon Rich Repair Cream, or Laugh Out Loud Nourishing Facial Oil if your skin prefers an oil.

Raindrops, Over the Moon and Laugh Out Loud are all essential oil free, and the last two are unscented as well. Cloud 9 is the exception: it carries mandarin, lemon myrtle and sandalwood oils, so skip it if you're avoiding essential oils or citrus.

If it's deodorant you're asking about, the bicarb-free scents are Mellow, Tango and Drift. Mellow is the simplest place to start: it's the only one that's both bicarb-free and essential oil free. Skin varies a lot in how it gets on with bicarb, so if you'd rather try one of the bicarb scents, go sparingly to start: up to three swipes of a stick, or no more than half a pea of paste per underarm. Stop if you notice any redness or irritation, and get in touch so we can help you find a gentler one.

With anything going on your face, try it somewhere out of the way first: a little along the jawline or behind the ear, left for a day or so, before you use it all over. Leave a few days between introducing one product and the next so you can tell which one your skin is responding to.

If you'd like a hand putting a routine together, our free Email Skin Consult is there for you. And if you're after the fuller version of the routine above, including the habits that go with it, start here.

We don't advertise to kids, tweens or teens, but plenty of them use our skincare and it's a reasonable place to start. Young skin generally does better with less: a gentle cleanse, a light moisturise, and not much else.

If you're shopping for a teen, a simple three-step routine is a better starting point than anything aimed at a particular concern:

1. Cleanse - 'You've Got This' Charcoal Cleansing Gel, or a Konjac Sponge with lukewarm water on its own if they'd rather keep it to one step.
2. Mist - 'Tickled Pink' Clarifying Face Mist, straight onto damp skin.
3. Moisturise - 'Perfectly Happy' Light Vitamin C Cream, which is light enough not to feel like much.

That is genuinely enough. Adding more products is the most common way a young routine goes wrong.

If using the Pig-In-Mud Mineral Mask, go easy to begin with - a couple of minutes is plenty for a first go. You can also soften it by mixing it with yoghurt or honey instead of water, as long as they've got no issue with either.

Patch test first. Pop a little on the jawline or behind the ear and leave it a day or so before using it more widely. Introduce one new product at a time so you can tell what their skin is actually responding to.

If something doesn't suit, you've got 90 days to change your mind on a first purchase. And if it irritates their skin, that's what our 90 Day Sensitivity Guarantee is for.

Don't worry, our Happy Skincare natural skin creations haven't gone away. They've just changed their look! 

In July 2022 we merged our Happy Skincare and Woohoo Body brands together, so now our skincare range is going by Woohoo Skincare 😍.

Our first "brand baby", Happy Skincare, was born many years ago (2010), and since then our brand family has grown and grown....

12 years down the track we have decided focus our energy on just one brand so now Woohoo Body is housing all of our creations from Happy Skincare, HESO Men's Grooming, and Happy You.

WOOHOO!! Get ready for some all-round awesome vibes, a few new product names, and more eco-friendly packaging than ever before.
