Friday vibes ✌🏻

Micro rituals to repair your skin barrier this winter season.

I always say, pause. Stop all skincare with the exception of rose water, oil, honey & ghee. Proceed gently and intentionally. Do not think about exfoliating. Do not buy a heap of expensive barrier repair serums.

Swipe to read and save for this cool, windy winter season.

Creating healthy, radiant skin naturally with ancient wisdoms.

Healing your skin barrier. This can actually be anchored in how you are facing the world around you.

Vata season means more skin barrier issues. But what does this actually mean?

Our skin barrier is:

• Protection
• Regulation
• Connection
• Communication

Yes it is made of skin cells, lipids, ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids but it is also literally showing us how we show up in the world.

In Ayurveda, our skin is always telling us a story. When our barrier becomes impaired, it is telling us our bodies and our boundaries have been depleted.

A healthy vital skin barrier requires balanced doshas, a strong digestive fire, strong OJAS, an honouring of seasons & balanced emotional nourishment.

Healing our skin barrier is more than using skincare to nourish it. It is also about expressing and honouring our boundaries.

When we take on too much or give too much out, our reserves of nourishment become depleted. Radiant skin is always about
balance babe!

Too much vata...think over giving, over doing, not resting will dry & thin your barrier.
Too much pitta...think burning the candle at both ends will create a reactive, sensitised barrier.
Too much kapha...think holding on to things that are not serving you will create a dull and sluggish barrier.

Our skin barrier needs the right topical foundations. In Ayurveda, this is mists, oils & massage daily and in conjunction with the seasons. From an energetic perspective, we wear our emotions and our boundaries on our literal barrier to the world around us. Yes, skin health is an inside job. But it is also an outward expression of how we are showing up.

Do the topicals & the nourishment. But also do the communication and expression part. This is key to a vital and radiant complexion, no matter what the season!

Radiant skin MAXXING in my 40’s.

Oils, rose, massage, adornment, juiciness, pleasure & joy. Make this the beauty blue print theme for your 40’s and beyond!

Beauty has become synonymous with youthfulness. The biggest beauty secret is that radiance can come to us when we are tapped into our own wisdoms and joys (at any age).

Creating glowing skin is not just about buying all the serums; it’s about really allowing your juicy, vital essence to thrive in a way that celebrates you as you age and accrue your wisdom.

Radiant skin using ancient wisdoms .

Your face isn’t just ageing - it’s reflecting your experiences and wisdoms.

As a woman gets older, the modern beauty approach is to treat the visible signs of her skin changing.

According to Ayurvedic beauty philosophy, our skin is simply reflecting our experiences & wisdoms. Every line, every mark, every area of our skin tells a story.

Our stories should be celebrated and acknowledged. And sometimes, the story is telling us that it is time to begin deeply nourishing ourselves. Skincare can nourish our skin but nourishment anchored in true radiance that cannot be captured in a bottle requires tending to our whole seives with ritual & intentional self-care.

Ayurvedic face mapping can be a helpful tool in gently guiding us to nurture specific areas of our body & emotions. That and vata-nourishing your Queen self like a it’s your full time job, is key in wearing your wisdom on your face with radiance, vitality &
unapologetic self-confidence!

Tending to your skin as you age does not have to be coming from a space of
deficiency or the intention to recapture
the youthfulness of time that you’ll never actually be able to revisit.

Our skin tells our story and it can one of radiance. True radiance comes from true contentment and nourishment.

I have had the most enlightening conversations this past week in the facial room regarding the client experience. So interesting and it boggles my mind.

These are a few of the conversations that have all happened to clients at other facial spaces. This always strengthens my resolve to provide the most nurturing client-focused space. Not only to create radiant skin naturally, but to provide a quiet space to really rest & deeply receive.

Slow, sacred ways centred completely on the client (not KPI’s 🫣).
