Make skin care a part of strengthening your health and overall well-being.
Hello,
We are preparing the Fall Skin Care. The season, temperature and length of days are changing. The skin is adapting to these changes and needs different nourishment and nutrients to help with the skin’s natural ability to cleanse, hydrate and moisturize. Fall changes our emotions and our mind as well. We are no longer in the energy of vacation, we are in the energy of work, holidays, and more indoor activities. These changes give us the opportunity to incorporate the below described daily, weekly and monthly self-nourishing treatments.
Skin is more than a representation of beauty. It is a representation of overall physical, emotional and energetic health and well-being. The skin is the largest organ of the body, in a state of constant readiness and alertness, working 24/7. Lack of sleep, nervousness, worries, anxieties and many other mental/emotional and environmental stress factors show up especially on our facial skin.
Daily, weekly and monthly skin care regimens are so much more than keeping our skin beautiful and young looking. Regular treatments and a good night’s sleep give our skin and nervous system a break, so it can rejuvenate and regenerate.
That is why Scentsible Life wants to encourage everybody to engage in a daily, weekly and monthly skin care and physical relaxation regimen to help combat the stresses of daily activities. Simply making an effort and finding the time to make skin care and a relaxation regimen a regular part of daily life can do so much for our overall well-being.
The following are examples of morning, evening, weekly and monthly self-nurturing treatments. Once in a while enjoy getting pampered by somebody else, or invite your friends to a relaxing beauty girl’s night out. The treatments are great for guys too!
Daily Regimen:
Cleansing your skin
- Normal skin types: Mix one tablespoon of Scentsible Life Cleansing Powder with enough warm water to form a creamy consistency.
- Oily skin types: Mix one tablespoon of Scentsible Life Cleansing Powder with enough warm water to form a creamy consistency. Add 2 drops of tea tree essential oil into this mixture.
- Dry skin types: Mix one tablespoon of Scentsible Life Cleansing Powder with 1 teaspoon honey, and 1 tablespoon warm milk to form a creamy paste.
After mixing your cleansing powder, massage in circular motion into your face. If the consistency is too “pasty” add more warm water. Step into the shower, the warmth and the steam of the water will open your pores and the skin nourishing properties of the cleansing powder can go into the skin, while dirt and impurities are drawn out. Rinse off at the end of your shower.
Toning and hydrating your skin
- Spray Scentsible Life Hydrotone onto your face and gently massage it into the skin, leaving the skin damp.
Moisturizing and protecting your skin
- Massage a few drops of Scentsible Life Facial Oil into your damp facial skin.
Take a moment after your morning shower and sit for five minutes in front of a white candle. Before you light the candle add 2 drops of essential oils a little bit away from the wick of the candle. Stare into the blue part of the candle flame, paying attention to your breath and with a gentle humming sound.
In the evening before you go to sleep, shower and cleanse, hydrate, and moisturize your skin. Add your essential oil to the white candle and stare into the flame for five minutes. At this time think of the events of the day in appreciation and gratitude and then allow the memory of the events of the day run from your third eye into the flame of the candle.

- Receive a relaxation treatment: Relaxing Swedish massage or relaxing essential oil session

Oily skin – Puree 1 to 2 tomatoes. Add 1 part white clay and 2 parts water, blend well to form a creamy consistency.
Let the mask settle for a moment while you prepare a facial steam bath.
Facial steam bath
Dry skin – Chamomile and Lavender flowers. Add 1 Tablespoon each of Lavender and Chamomile flowers to a bowl of boiling water.
Oily skin – Earl Grey and green tea. Add 1 tablespoon each of Earl Grey and green tea to a bowl of boiling water.
