~be aware of seasonal rhythms~
Because learning to live within the seasonal fluctuation is believed to bring health, harmony and strength to the body. Spring is a time to till the soil. Take this to mean that spring is also a good time for renewal, of cleansing the skin.
Our skin is constantly generating new skin cells but at the same time, if we don’t remove old skin we end up with a dry and dull appearance.
Consider adding a natural facial scrub to your daily routine at this time of the season. Weekly exfoliation helps to remove the cells that start to pile up, renewing our skin by smoothing the epidermis and helping to minimize fine lines. Natural exfoliation products such as finely ground oats, blue cornmeal and mild clays work very well.
With the exfoliation add a carrier oil with the appropriate essential oil for your skin type.
