How to use Immortelle in your skincare if you are trying it for first time

You’ve heard of Immortelle as a miracle skincare ingredient but don’t know where to start? You’re in the right place.

Helichrysum Italicum, also known as the “everlasting flower,” is a Mediterranean plant renowned for its extraordinary anti-inflammatory, soothing, and antioxidant properties. More and more skincare brands - especially natural ones that prioritize sensitive skin, like Ninfa Skincare - are choosing it as their signature ingredient.

But how do you introduce it into your skincare routine, especially if you have sensitive skin or have never used it before? In this article, we will walk you through it step by step, helping you use Immortelle safely, effectively, and mindfully.

Know Your Skin: Is It Suitable for Immortelle?

The good news? Immortelle is suitable for all skin types - even the most delicate.

In fact, it offers specific benefits for each:

• It’s soothing for sensitive and reactive skin

• It’s purifying and balancing for combination and oily skin

• It’s antioxidant and regenerative for mature or tired-looking skin

That said, like with any new botanical active, it’s always recommended to do a patch test on a small area to check for any reactions.

Start Slow: The “Less Is More” Rule

If it’s your first time using Immortelle, don’t apply several products at once. Start with just one product, using it 2–3 times a week at first.

Best beginner-friendly formats:

• Toner – apply after cleansing, using a cotton pad or by misting

• Lightweight serum – ideal if your skin needs regeneration or redness relief

• Soothing cream – great if you experience irritation, burning, or tightness

Expert tip: Start with the toner - it’s the most diluted and usually well-tolerated. After a few days, you can move on to a serum or cream.

When and How to Apply Immortelle in Your Routine

Here’s a simple routine you can follow to integrate it properly:

Morning:

• Gentle cleanser

• Immortelle toner (spray or cotton pad)

• Hydrating cream or lightweight serum

• SPF 30+ is essential (always)

Evening:

• Double cleanse (oil + cleanser)

• Serum or nourishing cream

• 1–2 times a week: Immortelle mask or treatment

Immortelle is especially effective at night, when your skin enters its natural regeneration phase. 

How to Choose the Right Immortelle Product

Not all Immortelle based products are created equal. Here’s what to consider before purchasing:

• Clean INCI list – free from harmful or occlusive ingredients like silicones, parabens, or petrolatum

• Traceable origin – ideally certified organic 

• Minimalist formulas – without synthetic fragrance or unnecessary additives

• Trustworthy brands – transparent about their sourcing and testing processes

For example, Ninfa Skincare uses 100% organic Immortelle, grown with deep respect for the plant and its surrounding ecosystem.

What Results to Expect Early On

After 1 week, you might notice:

• Reduced redness

• Softer, calmer skin

• Relief and comfort after cleansing

After 3–4 weeks:

• More even and refined skin tone

• Fewer blemishes or breakouts

• Brighter, more radiant complexion

Remember: real results come with consistency and routine. Skincare is a journey, not a sprint. 

In Conclusion

Trying Immortelle for the first time may feel unfamiliar, but it’s one of the most gentle and intelligent decisions you can make for your skin’s health. Start with a simple product, observe your skin’s response, and let nature and science guide you.

Our final advice? Listen to your skin. It will tell you when you’re on the right path - and with Immortelle, it most likely is.
