the ritual for:
mature
It is an honor and a privilege to age. We wear the impact of the care we have (or have not) given ourselves, so let this be a gentle reminder to be kind. Our skin is with us for the whole ride - treat yours to some love and revel in the light you reveal not just today, but 5, 10, and 20+ magnificent years from now!
Our collection adapts to your evolving needs to address any challenges along the way, while giving the comfort and nourishment you are inherently worthy of now.
the ritual:
a.m.
Massage a fat, blueberry-sized dollop of The Honey Mud into wet skin to emulsify into a gorgeous and silky cleansing milk, alternating (or even blending!) with The Clean Dirt on your exfoliation days.
p.m.
Begin with The Pendulum Potion to cleanse face, neck, and décolleté (note: this gorgeous formula also doubles as a body & hair oil!). Massage several pumps into dry skin, focusing on areas of makeup or congestion. Wet hands and continue massage, then place our warm, damp, Facial Steam Cloth over face and neck. Press, rinse, and repeat until skin is soft and happy.
Follow with The Honey Mud to enhance your cleanse, feeding goodness right back in. Either swirl into damp skin, or smooth richly over dry skin, for a luscious, glow-inducing treatment.
the ritual:
Measure 1 tsp. of The Clean Dirt’s concentrated powder and blend with just shy of equal parts water to form a soft mousse. Massage into damp skin with the pads of your fingertips, ideally while in the shower, to allow the heat and steam to soften and prepare skin. Leave for a few minutes, then face into the water to easily wash the formula away, massaging as you go.
Continue the massage on your now-clean skin for at least another minute after the grains have been rinsed clear, focusing on areas of dullness, dryness, or flakiness - often, you can feel dead skin releasing at your fingertips in this step! When you feel this sensation, continue rubbing that area of the skin until the texture shifts. Continue until skin is soft, smooth, and bright.
Bonus: Try blending The Clean Dirt with several pumps of The Pendulum Potion or a dollop of The Honey Mud (or both together!) for a nourishing, supportive boost every other treatment.
the ritual:
Twice weekly, treat with The Problem Solver to gently encourage cell turnover. Be sure to use enough powder to reach a rich, bubbling mousse consistency - at least ½-1 true Tbsp. - blending with just shy of equal parts water to form a soft, rich mousse in our treatment bowl. Brush over skin and relax for 30-45 minutes until dry. When your treatment is complete, step into a warm shower, allowing the steam and running water to rehydrate the masque before rinsing away easily.
To enjoy The Honey Mud as an enzyme masque, smooth generously over clean, dry skin, leaving it to work its magic from a few minutes up to an hour before rinsing clear as you massage with the pads of your fingertips.
Bonus: I like to mask at least twice weekly with The Problem Solver, and an additional time or two with The Honey Mud. For a lush, glow-inducing alternative, try blending The Problem Solver with a dollop of The Honey Mud (my favorite!).
the ritual:
After every cleansing or treatment, feed and hydrate skin immediately with The Blue Cocoon and The Youth Dew. Always massage both, layered or blended together, into fully WET skin directly following rinsing (skip your towel completely), while skin is still warm and at its most receptive. When followed with The Jasmine Garden, this creates a water-oil-water sandwich that is especially beneficial for dry, dehydrated, and maturing complexions.
Give a little extra love to your eye area and your lips and, double up on your portion size in the evenings to nourish skin as you sleep.
the ritual:
Complete your cleansing ritual by saturating skin with The Jasmine Garden and continuing your massage AFTER applying your oils. This unique formula enhances penetration and assimilation of everything that comes before it, enabling the deepest possible absorption of both fat and water-soluble nutrients. Mist throughout the day to soothe and refresh skin (+ hair & body!), and to envelop you in a cocoon of calm.
step 6: nourish neck-to-toes
product: the happy galaxy and/or the good stuff
frequency: following every bath & shower
the ritual:
After shaking bottle, dispense 4-6 pumps into wet hands, pressing between palms to trigger the vitamin actives. Massage this cerulean elixir from toes to hips, repeating generously over your upper body, and gliding over your every dip and curve with a firm, loving touch.
Try leaving your bottle in the shower for easy access and a daily reminder to massage into fully wet, softened skin prior to reaching for your towel.
bonus tips
Eyes are both the window to our souls and the magnifying glass revealing our life story. They deserve the gift of extraordinary care and attention.
The Blue Cocoon multitasks flawlessly as the most gorgeous eye treatment of all time. This azulene-rich beauty helps with inflammation, irritation, and dehydration, reducing puffiness, diminishing dark circles, decreasing redness, and hydrating this delicate area. I consider it my miracle potion!
Melt a small amount of The Blue Cocoon onto your fingertips and glide over the eye crescent morning and evening. This formula is safe even for lids and lashes, helping to heal and replenish. Bonus - The Blue Cocoon is beautiful for the lips as well. You can also use a drop of The Youth Dew for the eye area and anywhere lines are developing. This is where the antioxidant superpowers of our Coenzyme Q10 really work their time-stopping magic.
“After years of trying one new thing after the other for my aging skin that I fried as a teenager for acne…I have found The Blue Cocoon's beautiful mixture applies with healing ease for results that are softer, smoother skin, and a relaxed state of mind. I have tried several blue tansy concoctions and this is the only one that made a difference.”

May's products are carefully formulated with a blend of botanical extracts, oils and other nourishing ingredients that work together to deliver noticeable results and create a spa-like experience at home!”

“I was initially not sure why I needed The Jasmine Garden, and the scent didn't grab me. However, after using this now for about a year, it's become an indispensable part of my routine. I think my skin really craves it, even though I don't intellectually understand all the reasons why. My skin is aging but I feel more confident in how it looks, and have even started to skip makeup.”
