Thank you to everyone who sent in their questions on Instagram — I love hearing from all of you and I wish I could answer every question. Answering five of the most asked below :)
FYI I will be doing this at the end of every month so make sure you’re following my personal account on Instagram @jessegolden and subscribe to my email list HERE so you don't miss your question potentially being answered!
Q1: What’s your #1 skincare rule?
Always wash your face before bed, specifically with an oil cleanse to properly dissolve makeup, SPF, excess oil, and buildup without stripping the skin. Then a few times a week (depending on your skin), exfoliate to help remove that dry surface layer so your skincare can absorb deeper instead of just sitting on top.

Q2: Aura beauty mist vs. just water, what’s the difference?
Plain water
- Evaporates quickly
- Can actually pull moisture out of your skin as it dries
- No nutrients, no barrier support
- Zero long-term benefit
(That tight feeling after water dries? That’s dehydration happening.)
Aura Beauty Mist
- Infused with tremella mushroom, which can hold up to 500x its weight in water and deeply hydrate
- Clinically shown to improve hydration + lock it in, not just sit on the surface
- Packed with floral hydrosols, peptides, and antioxidants that support collagen, calm skin, and protect from environmental stress & blue light
- Helps pull your oils deeper into the skin, making everything you use after it more effective
- Water = temporary refresh
-
Aura = hydration + nourishment + results
Q3: What water filter do you recommend ?
One of the first things I did when I finally bought my first house is put in an entire water filtration system, but the under the counter and over-the-counter filter systems can be just as great. The only benefit with having a whole house system is it filters all the water, including the shower. I share all my recs on jessegolden.com which I linked below.

Q4: How to maximize Womb Wisdom Skin-Toning Oil?
Apply to damp skin right after the shower or bath. You will use way less product and it will absorb better into your skin.
Also, I recommend subscribing because you save 10% forever and you can decide when you want to receive it every month, every two months or every three months.

Q5: My 20 m/o son's skin is extremely dry. What should I use? His feet are even cracking!
Poor baby, I know how scary that can feel anytime something’s happening with your child. I would try our NEW product, Happy Baby Oil. It’s EWG verified and has the eczema seal of acceptance. It’s made with gentle, nourishing ingredients specifically chosen to support delicate skin and is best applied right after a bath when the skin is still damp to help lock in moisture.
I’ve heard such amazing feedback from moms using it for dry, sensitive, and irritated skin and I truly think it’s one of those products every parent should have on hand. A little goes a long way and it’s perfect for baby massage, dry patches, or just keeping skin soft and protected.
Also, another thing to keep in mind is I would limit baths to 2–3 times a week max, use unscented natural soap + shampoo, and make sure your laundry detergent is non-toxic and fragrance-free since that can make a huge difference for sensitive skin.
