Face Care Ritual

We approach skincare from a foundation of simplicity and respect for the miraculous organ that is the skin, as well as from a deeper understanding of the holistic nature of the body. Our skincare products are pure, potent and rooted in the wisdom of plants. 

 The hydrolipid barrier on the surface of our skin (the outermost layer) is made up of sweat (water), sebum (oil/fat), dead skin cells and microbiota. Our barrier is sightly acidic in nature and is there to protect us. Many skin care products and treatments strip the skin, exposing us to harsh chemicals that disrupt the hydrolipid barrier and then enter the body and environment where they can cause harm. 

Just like nature, our skin is alive, wise and intuitive. It regulates itself, nourishes itself, and repairs itself. We believe that the skin does not need to be demolished and rebuilt like a construction site, but rather provided nourishment from plants that it recognizes (our hydrosol plant water + serum oil) and given the opportunity to do what it was designed to do with as little interference from us as possible - a radical concept in these times. Our skin has the ability to communicate with us, and we the opportunity to learn its language, becoming more in-tune with our body and its rhythms.

There is beauty in the smoothness of a stone, and there is beauty in the cracks - beauty is not perfect. Whether you are experiencing dry, dehydrated, oily, sensitive, or breakout prone skin, our nourishing and antioxidant botanical skin care products promote balance, radiance, rejuvenation and longevity, supporting you and your skin with grace through each stage and adventure of your life. 

〰Morning Face Care Ritual〰 

1. Generously mist face with our botanical facial hydrosol 

2. Apply our prickly pear serum to face, neck and chest

3. Apply sunscreen if needed- we love mineral based formulas that use non-nano and uncoated zinc oxide

Note: We prefer not to wash our face in the morning because our skin just spent precious sleeping hours rebalancing itself and we don't want to disrupt it. 

〰Evening Face Care Ritual〰

1. Wash face with our gentle cleansing facial bar

*Optional: If desired, treat your skin to our balancing face mask after cleansing

2. Generously mist face with our botanical facial hydrosol 

3.  Apply our prickly pear serum to face, neck and chest 

Note: We like to cleanse the face at night after exposure to environmental pollution, touching our face all day, and to remove any makeup or sunscreen we may have applied.  

 

Ease into a ritual of radiance and adorn your face with the sweet nectar of nature.
