Face Balm

$35.00

While we recommend using Face Balm with our (sold out) Yarrow Hydrosol, Face Balm will work just as well with distilled or even tap water. The cupuaçu in Face Balm is hydrophilic and will absorb liquid. Because cupuaçu also plays well with other fats, it’s able to slip into the intercellular matrix and bring a little water with it too.

The combination of Cupuaçu and water makes for an easy-to-absorb balm that simultaneously calms skin while also providing bioactive compounds that help it to heal itself and restore homeostasis. This balm isn’t for everyone – if you wear foundation for instance, this is not your daytime moisturizer – but it has worked for people who have dry, sensitive, burning, tight, or unreasonably reactive skin.

Face balm will last for over a month if applied twice a day.

How to apply

Put a pea size amount of face into the palm of your (warm, clean) hand. Add a teaspoon of distilled water or spritz Yarrow and mix with your finger. Massage in, starting at the cheekbones and moving up and then starting at the jawline and moving up the face and working outward. Finally, use your fingers to firmly sweep the outline of your face from the forehead down to the neck.

Listen to your skin

Your skin is alive and ever changing. It might need more balm or less.

Note

Face is made to be used on wet skin and you may need less of it than a pea size depending on where your skin is in life. Perimenopausal skin tends to want a little more balm than skin that hasn’t seen the wrong side of more than a few dawns.
