Skin Care 101




You skin has to function at its best as it is the most important tell-tale of your health and vitality.
Therefore, you have to support your skin in any which way you can. There is no need to go overboard. Just follow this easy skin care routine:

In the morning

1. Compress your face by adding three drops of an essential oil (lavender, bergamot, pine, eucalyptus, or sandalwood) into a basin of warm water and stir. Place a clean facecloth in the water, lift it out and squeeze lightly. Place the cloth over your face and press. This soaks the surface of your skin, allowing the essential oil to penetrate and the cleansing action of the cloth to gently exfoliate. Repeat four times.

2. Apply nourishment booster of your choice over entire neck and face. 

3. Apply nourishment and good protection - a good plant-based moisturizer is the best.

In the evening

1. Apply cleanser to remove all traces of make-up and the day’s grime.

2. Compress your skin again four times as already described above.

 3. Apply nourishment booster of your choice over entire neck and face.

Weekly

1. Use a gentle scrub on the skin.

2. Apply a nourishing mask.
