These essential tips can help you take on each day and achieve a fabulous inner glow!

A great day starts with....

1. Cleansing

How you begin your morning sets the tone for the rest of the day.

Start your day by using your Morning Dew Botanical Creamy Cleanser and 100% pure Egyptian cotton muslin cloths.

Your Morning Dew Botanical Cleanser is enriched with essential oils including chamomile, rosemary and rose geranium. The calming effects of chamomile will help to relax and soothe you - it is well known for properties that help to relax the mind, offering a calmer start to the day. Rosemary essential oil is wondrous  for those seeking to find focus and concentration. This herb is known for helping support memory recall and settle nerves and stress. Indeed, it is a great herb for those sitting exams or dealing with a busy schedule at work.  Last but not least, rose geranium is another key essential oil notable for its effectiveness in supporting ailments including anxiety.

2. Toning

Time to close those pores. Your Oceanmist toner is packed with active ingredients to assist with rebalancing your skin's natural PH. You will also see from our ingredients  that we have a love for Rosemary, Chamomile and Rose Geranium as these essential oils make another appearance!

If you have a big morning ahead and need to rebalance your mood what better way to start your day.

3. Moisturising

We believe that how you see yourself can impact on how you engage in life and with others. We hand blend each moisturiser keeping in mind the variety of skin types as we know that each skin texture deserves time! As you apply your moisturiser, recognise your own uniqueness and embrace the skin that makes you, well YOU! Express gratitude for the skin your are in and use this time to feel OK.

A good day ends with...

4. Releasing and letting go

When you are done with the day, it's time to let go and remove all of the build-up including makeup, impurities and environmental toxins. You can also use this time to release any feelings that are no longer serving you. A great way to do this is by exchanging negative thoughts with more positive ones, it may be challenging at first but practice makes perfect.

Visualise each problem you have faced during the day and imagine a more positive outcome and the feeling you would have if it had worked out more positively. Using your Morning Dew Botanical cleanser, let our blend of Shea, Cocoa Butter and Aloe Vera creamy cleanser do all the work. Just apply 1 to 2 pumps and massage your skin while focusing on your breath: inhale and exhale deeply, ensuring that you are fully present and finally let go of the day. If you like to double cleanse, then double up.

Voila! A few easy and effective steps to achieving peace of mind. Let us know what works for you.
