OUR GO-TO GENTLE SKIN CARE ROUTINE

Feb 5

The month of February often feels like a micro season. A season of doing less, of returning to ourselves, of leaning into simple practices, of deep nourishment.

Our skin craves this as well. It craves simplicity, gentle nourishment. A break from the heavy labor that actives or excessive routines require. Here is a favorite routine cycle to give your skin a break and help it really sing this season.
