Aromatherapeutic effect: The 'cocooning' aroma helps to make the transition to shorter days and longer nights more pleasant
New York Times: " to say that these oils have a cult following is to say that Miucca Prada has a nice little dress making business - it is an understatement of collosial proportions."
Why a different facial oil every season?
Every season is different, our skin and senses have their specific needs per season. Chinese doctor, cosmetic acupuncturist and aromatherapist Annee de Mamiel creates a powerful, handmade, organic, aromatherapeutic facial oil every season. To support and balance your skin and your mind all year round.
Annee : 'Autumn is about harvest, enjoying the fruits of our labor and preparing for winter. It's also a great time to repair and nourish our complexion after a summer of sun exposure. I've selected the best skin plumping plant based ingredient to help skin renew and deal with changes in air moisture as the temperature cools.'
Why do I need the oil?
With lovely sunny days behind us and a long winter ahead, we may be physically and emotionally 'deflated'. The Autumn Facial Oil gives your spirit a boost and supports your skin in the transition from summer to winter. Rich, nourishing seed oils from prickly pear, amaranth and echium , among others, protect your skin against the effects of fresh morning air and central heating. The wonderful scent of sambac jasmine gives confidence and positivity. Citrus oils of grapefruit, green mandarin and lime help focus and energize.
What makes the oil unique?
The daily ritual of applying the oil and consciously breathing in the wonderful aroma balances both your skin and your mind. Nourishing vegetable oils rehydrate your upper skin layer, while the aromatic essential oils positively influence your mood. The handmade flower essences in the oil have a beneficial effect on your state of mind through your acupuncture meridians.
Usage
- Drop 4-5 drops of oil into your palms in the morning and/or evening after cleansing your face.
- Press your palms together to warm the oil, then cup your hands around your nose and mouth, inhale deeply for three counts, hold and exhale for five counts.
- Then massage the oil in an upward direction, over the face, from the center outwards, until the oil is absorbed and the skin feels fine.
- 20 ml is enough for a season if you use the oil once a day.
Autumn according to Chinese science
- Time to harvest and celebrate what you achieved last year. Beginning of a more introverted period.
- Summer represents the metal element; discipline, perfectionism, but also inspiration and finding the value and meaning of what we are doing.
- Autumn is the time of lungs and skin. Receive, let go, forgive and move on -> Inhale, exhale toxins, energize and revitalize.
