The Rituals
Skincare, in our family, was never a routine. It was a small ceremony — three or four quiet steps, composed of water, flowers and oil. We have kept the practice short and slow.
Sunrise
The Awakening
01
Cool Water
Splash with cold filtered water, palms cupped. Pause. Listen.
02
Mint Water Mist
Three soft spritzes across the face. Let it settle, do not wipe.
03
Balancing Lotion
A small almond of lotion, warmed between the palms, pressed in.
Sundown
The Restoration
01
Warm Cloth
A muslin in warm water, held to the face for the length of a breath.
02
Rose Botanical Mist
Spritz generously while the skin is still warm.
03
Saffron Night Oil
Three drops, pressed into the skin in slow upward strokes.
"A ritual is the smallest, slowest way to remember yourself. We hope ours becomes a quiet punctuation in your day."
