Spring Facial Oil

More information

After a winter rest, the power of springtime surges through nature and through us.  Ancient Chinese believed that we should live in harmony with the natural cycles of our environment and recognize the naturally occurring ebb and flow of energy reflected in our bodies.  de Mamiel Spring Facial Oil is blended to work in synergy with these changes and put back what nature takes out at a time when it is needed.

Spring is the perfect time to do two things: Release and Express. The expansive energy of the new season is outward moving, so we are primed to move stagnant, useless, sluggish and weary ways out of our bodies and lives and release the heaviness that has been stored all winter.  We need to rid the body of toxins and let go to allow new growth to come through.  Once we do this, we are freed up to start over, grow freshly, heal, create, and share our new blossoms with the world!

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Spring represents the element of wood.  Wood makes us feel that we need free expression, to find our way, to try new things and meet new people.  It is open and energetic and can lead to great enthusiasm and new endeavours.  Spring is also represented by the liver and gall bladder.  The liver governs the unclogging of ‘qi’ and emotions. The free flow of ‘qi’ in turn will ensure the free flow of blood, digestion and water.

Having come from a place of dryness (Winter), the sudden energy bursts of Spring can cause skin to become oily or show signs of inflammation (acne) or allergens.  It is time to be kind to our skin, supporting the detoxification process with gentle nourishment on the inside.  de Mamiel Spring Facial Oil contains ingredients that will replace the lost moisture, cleanse and flush out winter congestion,soothe any associated inflammation and encourage new skin growth.  This will plump up the skin and bring back colour to the face revealing a clear, refreshed and invigorated complexion.
