Summer skincare looks much different than winter skincare. ๐นโ๏ธ
In summer, we want moisture, but we also want the skin to be able to breathe.
A hydrosol, which:
A) Sets the skin up for moisture retention and
B) Pulls moisture from the air throughout the day
is such a powerful tool for healthy skin. The phytonutrients in every hydrosol is different (as every plant is different) and works wonders on providing the skin with healthy nutrients that evens skin tone, balances ph in the skin, speeds wound healing, cools the skin and of course moisturizes the skin.
Follow with a facial serum, which allows your skin to breathe and you are set for natural & beautiful summer skin โจ๏ธ
Violets - One of my very wild and colourful plants to work with in Spring ๐ธ๐ฑ๐ท
Here's what I made so far with the violet leaves & flowers:
๐ฎ Violet Herbal Oil (Cherry Tamanu Facial Serum)
๐ฎ Violet infused Apple Cider Vinegar
๐ฎ Violet infused Honey
๐ฎ Dried Violet Leaves
๐ฎ Violet Lemonade
I made the choice to face the pain as hard as it was, this being with the pain & darkness really allowed me to properly transform the harshness into understanding, healing & love.
I abandoned myself over and over until I finally understood the patterning. No, it wasn't fun. It also made it more harsh because the love I received from both my mom and grandma (my matriarchs) while they were here, was the most powerful love I've ever experienced โค๏ธ and to have that then not was a feeling I find hard to explain in words.
The reason I am a medicine woman is because I've continued to transform that pain into love for myself and my fellow humans.
Hydrosols are the most underrated skincare superpower ๐น๐ฟ๐ฒ
A hydrosol is the pure distillation of a plant - flower - tree - the water soluble parts of the plant are extracted from the plant using steam distillation or hydro distillation (depending on what is being distilled) in a traditional copper alembic still.
The ingredients are pure & simple. There is 1 ingredient: the water soluble part of the plant a.k.a hydrosol.
Each plant offers its own specific benefits because the phytonutrients in each plant is different.
All wild harvested with my hands ๐ built not on extracting all that I can from the Earth - but with a relationship of giving & receiving, of deep listening and adoration of Her *The Earth Mother
(I like to keep my plants organized - so I only have smaller quantities to last 1 year, this ensures nothing is wasted and my timing for how much I need each year is getting pretty accurate after 17 yrs.
The key ๐ with my work is that I create it with a high level of integrity. It has to be good for me so that it can be good for you.
Anytime your purchasing a hydrosol, a facial serum, a herbal tea from me - I've used plants that are full of medicine and that aren't bought from somewhere else for me to mix up. My integrity is my superpower and it shows through the quality & feeling of my products. Everything I harvest is used within a year so you can rest assured that, that is the quality & care we built our foundation on.
I don't know a lot of people that would go into the forest and observe for long periods of time, to find the right tree or plant to distill, and then distill it with ancient alchemy.
And this is why for those that recognize TRUE quality & integrity - these are not simply products - they are a rite of passage to high self. To the deservment of quality & purity that our bodies, hearts & souls are calling us all back home to ๐ฒ๐นโฅ๏ธ
I love doing this work. I love the Earth ๐ and all her beauty, her medicines, her scents that are meant to bring peace, joy, love & appreciation to our lives, to our days.
You have to find the love for all parts that you long to change - EVERY SINGLE PART
THE ADDICT - THE EMOTIONAL EATER - THE RAGE QUEEN - THE SELF RIGHTEOUS - THE PEOPLE PLEASER - THE ABANDONED GIRL - THE PLEASE LOVE ME CAUSE I CAN'T LOVE MYSELF - THE IMPATIENT and when you do - that's when the you can start building.
Start building the new and fkn best version of yourself. That's what I'm doing - so now watch and see ๐ what I can create with the foundation of authentic love โค๏ธ of self
Oooohh and don't forget the good parts too, that kinda goes without saying.
THE WARRIOR - THE ALCHEMIST - THE HIGH PRIESTESS - THE LOVER OF HUMANS * ANIMALS * EARTH (I RARELY see a soul with the pure heart as moi โฅ๏ธ) THE STRONG - THE DEDICATED - THE INTELLIGENT & KNOWLEDGEABLE- THE WISE - THE DREAMER - THE VISIONARY - THE CARRIER OF LIGHT- THE HEALER
SO NOW YOU GO! MAKE YOUR LIST OF THE HARDEST PARTS TO LOVE โค๏ธ AND THE BEAUTY THAT YOU CARRY NOW and start loving every part of Her or Him.

This trees' leaves flutter in the gentlest of winds and are known to make music with their 'quaking' leaves. A soft melody that ripples out ๐ฟ๐ต
