Face Oil

We’re sensitive creatures, so we create products that make our sensitive skin happy. That especially goes for this beautiful face oil, with the sweet smell of jasmine. Legend has it that Cleopatra soaked the sails of her ship in jasmine oil to announce her fragrant arrival on the Nile.

As a Cleansing Oil:

This is Oil Cleansing. One of the oldest and most effective methods for sensitive skin. Oil attracts oil. It draws out dirt and excess sebum without stripping your skin's natural moisture.

You will need three organic cotton facial rounds and warm water.

Wet the first round with warm water and squeeze out the excess. Add one full dropper of Face Oil to the round. Press and sweep across dry skin—your whole face—in slow gentle passes. This first pass begins drawing dirt and oil to the surface. Flip the round to the clean side, re-wet with warm water, add another dropper of oil and repeat. Discard.

Repeat the same process with a second round and then a third. Each pass collecting more impurities and lifting them away from your skin. Multiple passes are essential. One pass simply moves what is on the surface around. Three passes actually removes it.

Finish with several splashes of warm water. If desired, follow with a warm damp washcloth for a final gentle pass.

Your skin will feel moisturized and clean simultaneously. If you want more moisture—and most sensitive skin does—warm a few drops of Face Oil between your palms and press gently into your skin. Follow with a richer night cream or tallow if that feels good to you.

Beyond Your Face:

Face Oil is formulated for your most sensitive skin which means it belongs everywhere that deserves that same tenderness.

Use it for gua sha, facial massage, and buccal massage. It provides the slip you need without heaviness.

Take it into the shower. Turn off the water. While your body is still warm, apply Face Oil to your chest and give yourself a breast massage and breast exam. Bring your love to these places. Check in with yourself here.

Use it on your armpits, especially if you are transitioning away from conventional deodorant. These are lymph-rich, highly absorbent areas that have often been exposed to harsh ingredients for years. Face Oil nourishes the skin here and, yes, makes armpit hair soft and beautiful.

Use it on your pubic hair and vulva. The skin here is as delicate as the skin around your eyes. Treat it that way. A slow intentional vulva massage with Face Oil is an act of radical self-love and care. Bring your hands to your womb space. Let the plant medicine in.

Your skin is your largest organ. Every inch of it is worthy of this attention.
