Introducing
Winter Solstice
Organic Face Balm and Mask
"Available only in the Winter."
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.
The word "solstice" comes from the Latin word "solstitium" - a combination of the words sol (the sun) and sistere (to stand still). You, the sun, As you stand still in the coldest of storms, I, "Winter Solstice", am here to be your shield.
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 your survival is more important than the health of your skin.
"External support". Skin needs external support against the cold.
But hold on. There is one more thing that the cold air does. Cold air is 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.
How To Use
Apply a small amount to the face and neck after applying our Rose Mist, followed by any of our Elixirs.
Winter Solstice is also an incredibly nutrient-dense face mask for winter. Apply a thick layer to clean the 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.
