One of the questions I often hear at markets is whether it is better to use fingers or a spatula when applying Earth Lab products. The truth is, there is no one right way. Both are perfectly fine. It comes down to what feels comfortable for you.
Using Your Fingers
Most people find that using their fingers feels the most natural. Clean fingertips are perfect for scooping a small amount of body butter, cream, deodorant, or lip balm. The warmth of your skin helps soften the product, allowing it to melt easily and spread smoothly. There is also something grounding about applying skincare with your own hands. It can feel like a little ritual, a quiet moment of connection.
Using a Spatula
If you prefer not to dip your fingers into a jar, or if you have longer nails, a small spatula or spoon is a great option. The important thing is to keep it clean and dry so that no water or dust enters the jar. A little tip is to scoop with the spatula and then transfer the product onto your fingers before applying. Your fingertips help spread it gently and evenly across your skin.
Keeping Things Fresh
Whether you use fingers or a spatula, always start with clean hands or tools. This helps keep your products fresh and happy for their full shelf life.
A Gentle Closing 🌸
At Earth Lab I believe skincare should feel simple, honest, and personal. However you choose to apply your products, what matters most is that you take the time to care for yourself in a way that feels right.
