How to combat the seasonal changes in your skin...

by Wharf St.Ives

 

 As we finally enter into the season of Spring (although this rain seems to be saying otherwise!) I always feel like my skin reacts to the ever changing elements be it good or bad! With longer evenings and hopefully some warmer weather on the way, I always try to ensure my skin feels and stays hydrated, cleansed and energised ready for those warm sunnier days…

There’s nothing I enjoy more than settling into my favourite series, lighting my Harbour Haze candle, locking the door, and indulging in a classic pampering session! Whilst life can feel a little hectic at times, It’s important for me to use the best quality products that are convenient, easy to use and affordable. And a face mask is a must! I try to incorporate this into my cleansing routine at least once a week, especially if I’ve had a busy week in the shop and we’ve been lucky enough to have the doors open! 


 

The green clay face mask is my go to. For someone who’s skin is a little on the oiler side, this is the perfect mask for restoring balance in your skin, drawing out the impurities whilst helping to heal those annoying little blemishes. Its easy to apply which I love, and with the clay coming in a powdered form, this allows you to only use what’s needed, ensuring little to no waste! 

Start by mixing a teaspoon of clay with water. The mixture should be a thick, smooth consistency. Apply to the face and leave for 10 minutes and remove with a warm cloth. The re-usable face wipes are perfect for removing as you can pop them straight in the wash afterwards and are super soft on the skin! I love to mix mine with the orange blossom toner, as this not only smells delicious, it's 100% natural, organic AND is an anti inflammatory. It also leaves your skin feeling refreshed and radiant afterwards. 


 
If your skin is on the more sensitive side and prone to dryness, I would opt for using the pink clay face mask due to its regenerative properties. It still detoxifies the skin whilst giving that extra bit of nourishment also helping to improve redness and elasticity in the skin. 


 

TOP TIP - add a few drops of our 3 in 1 body oils to the pink clay mask mix before popping it onto your skin for the ultimate hydrating mask.
