THE RITUAL

A Ritual. Not A Routine.

A ritual is not a routine. Take your time. The oil works best when applied with intention, to skin that is warm and receptive.

01

Cleanse

Begin with clean, slightly damp skin. Pat dry with a warm cloth, leaving some moisture.

02

Warm

Dispense three drops into your palms. Rub gently to warm the oil and release the botanicals.

03

Press

Press both palms to your face. Work inward to outward with gentle upward strokes.

04

Rest

Allow two minutes before applying anything else. Let the oil absorb completely into the skin.
