Handmade Face Oils,Floral Mists, and Balms

–
 

Amanda has had a passion for holistic skincare for as long as she can remember, and has been a facialist for over 25 years. Through her work at some of London's top salons, as well as her own boutique, Amanda has learned to listen to the skin's needs and to source and apply the best ingredients to nourish it. All the products Amanda uses in her facial are formulated by hand in her studio in Vermont's Green Mountains, using the whole-plant infusion method. When it comes to looking after your skin, Amanda believes that less is more; just as we need to feed our bodies nutrient-rich food, our skin needs the same to look and feel healthy and youthful. The addition of all-natural, fresh, organic cleansers and oils to her treatments adds a special energy and life to her Signature Facials, giving her clients a completely different facial experience. The combination of pressure points and lymphatic drainage in the facial to smooth fine lines and brighten the complexion, and a Reiki-influenced, unique healing technique that utilizes energy from the earth and atmosphere, provides a total mind-body experience that instantly de-stresses and rejuvenates. Clients notice smoother, plumper skin, fewer lines, reduced stress levels, and increased confidence and energy.

Amanda's daily ritual

Warm a small amount of the Nourishing Cleansing Clay in the palm of your hand, add a little warm water to soften the flower petals and herbs, and gently massage into the face and neck (avoiding the eye area). Take a few moments to gently massage areas of tension in the facial muscles and inhale the aromas of mint, grapefruit, and chamomile to calm and soothe the skin and relax the mind. Take your muslin washcloth, soak it in warm water, wring out excess moisture, and gently wipe away all traces of the Cleansing Clay. The infused oils will calm, soothe, and hydrate, while the gentle clay and flowers will cleanse away every trace of dirt, makeup, and pollution. Use every night.

Grounding Beauty Mist (Made to order)

Feeling beautiful and confident is very much an emotional state, and not just superficial. It can be so easy to criticize ourselves and compare our beauty with others’, forever longing for the things we don’t have. These emotions are a product of negative thoughts directed at oneself. Flower essences work energetically to gently shift these negative emotions, helping to bring balance and peace. We are then able to appreciate how beautiful and unique we are, radiating confidence and feeling grounded and strong.

Upon request, Amanda will create a facial mist using beautiful floral hydrosols and essences to help your skin find balance, whether it needs rejuvenating, calming, hydrating, or all three. The flower essences will help calm and destress the mind, easing tension and bringing back a beautiful glow to the complexion.

Amanda’s daily ritual

After cleansing, and whilst the skin is still damp, with eyes closed, spray the mist over your face and neck. You can use the mist as many times a day as you need. For wobbly moments when you feel stressed, tired, overwhelmed, or just need to reset and ground yourself, you can mist the surrounding space (including your pulse points) and/or your body.
