Winter Solstice Organic Face Balm & Mask

30g

"Available only in winter"

Winter Solstice is a powerful shield for cold weather. A remedy for extreme dryness, irritation, eczema and sensitive, allergy-prone skin. Winter Solstice significantly improves blood flow, which speeds up skin regeneration. It is great for traumatised, dry, problematic skin that is having trouble regenerating on its own. It reduces swelling and irritation and brightens patches of discoloured skin. It is both a daily face balm and a nutrient dense face mask. The essential oil version is lightly scented with a mystical blend of Palo Santo, Myrrh, Frankincense and Vetiver.

When the Epidermis = the top layer of the skin is exposed to the cold air, It sends the message of cold directly below the Dermis. Why? You might ask? The Dermis holds blood vessels and blood supplies nutrients and oxygen = life to all layers of the skin. Blood also removes waste products away from the skin.

As a biological creature, a living organism, the body, must survive. Blood vessels in the Dermis constrict so that your warm blood bypasses the skin to conserve your body heat so you survive in the cold.

Your own medicine = your warm blood that carries all the nutrients and oxygen that your skin needs pulls away, leaving the skin vulnerable to the environment in the cold because survival is more important than the health of your skin.

Cold air is also dry. It wants moisture. You, as a biological creature, a living organism, part of the whole, give your moisture to the cold. Yin and Yang. You help balance the whole, leaving your skin dry.

Winter Solstice is the external support, a powerful shield for cold weather so that you adapt to the conditions of your environment with the help of plants.

Daily Application: Apply a small amount to the face and neck after applying our Rose Mist, followed by any of our Elixirs.

Face Mask: Winter Solstice is also a incredibly nutrient-dense face mask for winter. Apply a thick layer to clean skin and massage using circular motions. Leave it on for at least 20 minutes. Dampen our bamboo cloth with warm water and remove the excess balm. Finish with Rose Mist and a few drops of our Elixirs.
