Facials

Facials and masks make you take time.  You can't rush and you should be doing a hundred other things multi-tasking.  Lay down and relax, and enjoy what nature can do for tired, troubled, dry, oily or overexposed skin.

Toners

A toner is used to help remove any residual cleanser and to clarify.  When creating your own toners you should use them immediately, keep them refrigerated and always use a clean cotton pad or ball with each use. 

Rose Water & Glycerin     Witch Hazel Toner

Hair Care

When you are use to commercial shampoos with foaming agents, handmade shampoo bars can feel strange.  It's due to the high glycerin content remaining in the soap.  Not a bad thing mind you, as it helps with dry scalp, but you don't want your hair to feel greasy or heavy afterwards either.  What to do?  Use an herbal rinse, and below are some of our favorites;

Hops & Apple Cider Rinse

Hand & Feet

You've paid attention to everything above the neck at this point - good for you!  Now let's take care of those hard working hands and feet.  The result will be well hydrated, smooth skin on the roughest parts of you. 

Bath Soaks

Not everyone is a tub person,  but if you want to truly enjoy therapeutic spa benefits you it's best soak.  Pores absorb minerals while in the water, the skin gets needed hydration and you have to relax....it's all a plus!

Body Scrubs

Buffing skin and revealing younger, fresher appearing skin is the point of using scrubs.  Whether you prefer the dry grain mix or an oil based sugar scrub, skin will feel fantastic right away.  For maximum spa treatment, do it respectively.  Buff the skin with a scrub, rinse, soak some more, then buff again especial if it's been a while since you done this.
