Soothing, ritualistic purpose with every face wash. I am always seeking more intention and elevation with my daily actions and this face wash just feels right. Utilizing the natural fruits of this earth to take care of my body, which deepens my soul, benefits me in immediate ways. My recently irritated, stressed skin was significantly less red, brightened and glowing after the very first wash. I felt no reaction at all-no tingling, burning, tightness. Just powder soft, smooth and happy skin. I love that I can customize it by adding ingredients that my skin craves or keep it simple and nourishing. I have tried it as a mask and with additional raw organic honey and also with hydrosol instead of water. Be sure to add enough moisture to provide a hydrating, slippery wash experience. This is exactly the cleanser I had been searching for.
