Cleansing
Essentials
Morning
Refresh and
awaken your skin. 1-2 drops of Essential oil such as
Pine or Grapefruit in a bowl of water
splashed over skin.
Evening
In the evening
use either a light vegetable oil or a ready made cleanser
that is designed to remove oil, dirt and makeup without
striping the skin of its essential nutrients. Good oils to
use are
Sweet Almond, Coconut, or Apricot Kernel.
If you prefer a ready made cleanser our
Avocado Milk Cleanser is ideal.
Exfoliation
Exfoliation
should be completed 2-3 times a week, however if there is
any irritation is should be stopped immediately. A good
exfoliation will remove any oil build up and help to
stimulate cell reproduction. Exfoliation makes the skin
smoother and cleaner. If you are using a
foaming cleanser combine this with a a
lofa to provide the exfoliation. We have a choice of
Botanical (Neutral) and
PreBlended Exfoliation Scrubs
and
Foaming Cleansers.
Alternately,
use
100% natural Dead Sea Salt Soap which is
excellent for drawing out toxins found in the pores (This
can be in either solid or granulated form). Follow the
cleanse with our
100% Natural Face & Body Oil for an
effective de-tox scrub before showering. It will leave the
skin cleansed, soft and stimulated. Packs are available in
store.
Deep
Cleansing
In the summer
we tend to spend more time outside and our skin has to deal
with the sun, wind and air pollution. To combat these
elements, plus the regulars, once a week use a
100% natural clay mask to draw out
impurities and toxins found deep in the pores.
To enhance the
treatment, add 1 drop of essential oil, and/or mix with a
100% Natural Hydrosol or Carrier Oil. Our
staff in store can recommend the correct oils for your skin
type.
Find 5 mins each
day to apply a 'mini mask' - a thin fast drying white or
pink clay mask, before putting on sunscreen and make-up.
Clays can also be used on the body -think of the mud pools
or Europe, Japan and New Zealand.
