As a person who cares about the health and the appearance of their skin, you may already be aware of the importance of finding a skincare routine that works for you. But, did you know that the climate you live in can also have a significant impact on your skin? It's true! The weather and environmental conditions in your location can affect your skin's needs, which means that you may need to adjust your skincare routine to accommodate these changes. In this blog, we'll explore the effects of climate on your skin and how you can adapt your skincare routine to suit your local environment. Let's start by looking at how different climates affect your skin. The Effect of Cold Weather on Your Skin If you live in a colder climate, you may have noticed that your skin becomes dry and flaky during the winter months. This is due to the lack of humidity in the air, which can strip moisture from your skin and lead to dryness and irritation. Keeping your skin moisturized during the colder months is essential to combat these effects. Try our Daily Face Cream, Beauty Balm, Nightly Face Serum, and Pomegranate Oil for added moisture on your face. Body Butter and Body Lotion both provide moisture to your whole body. Using a humidifier in your home can also add moisture to the air. It's also a good idea to avoid taking hot showers, as the hot water can strip your skin of its natural oils and lead to further dryness. Instead, opt for lukewarm water, which will be gentler on your skin. Another tip is to avoid overusing alcohol-based toners and astringents, as these can further dry out your skin. Instead, opt for toners and astringents like Rosewater toner. The Effect of Hot Weather on Your Skin If you live in a warmer climate, you may have noticed that your skin becomes oilier and more prone to breakouts during the hot weather months. This is due to the increased production of sebum (an oil produced by the sebaceous glands in your skin) in response to heat and humidity. Keeping your skin clean and refreshed during the hotter months is essential to combat these effects. This can be achieved through the use of a gentle, oil-free cleanser that won't strip your skin of its natural oils, like our Foaming Face Wash. Use a toner, like Clean Sweep Toner, to help remove excess oil and keep your pores clean. In addition to using the right skincare products, staying hydrated is essential by drinking plenty of water and avoiding prolonged sun exposure. If you do need to be outside for an extended period, be sure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 to protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun. Shop a variety of All Good Sunscreen here. The Effect of Dry Weather on Your Skin If you live in a dry climate, you may have noticed that your skin becomes dry and sensitive, and you may be more prone to developing fine lines and wrinkles. This is due to the lack of humidity in the air, which can strip moisture from your skin and lead to dryness and irritation. To combat these effects, it's essential to keep your skin moisturized at all times. Like living in a colder climate, use a daily moisturizer and a humidifier, and avoid stripping your skin with harsh ingredients. It's also a good idea to avoid using hot water when washing your face. In conclusion, the climate you live in can significantly impact your skin and its needs. By understanding how your location's weather and environmental conditions affect your skin, you can adapt your skincare routine to suit your local environment and keep your skin healthy and nourished. Whether you live in a cold, hot, or dry climate, there are simple steps you can take to protect and nourish your skin, including staying hydrated, using the right skincare products, and avoiding prolonged sun exposure. By following these tips and finding a skincare routine that works for you, you can enjoy healthy, glowing skin no matter where you live. xoxo,Jewels

Finding the right skincare can feel overwhelming—but it starts with knowing your skin type. In this post, we break down the four main skin types (oily, dry, combination, and sensitive) and share how to choose products that work with your skin, not against it.

Choosing organic skincare isn’t just about avoiding chemicals—it’s about giving your skin what it truly needs. In this post, we explore how organic ingredients nurture sensitive skin, support small farmers, and protect the planet while delivering real, visible results.

Synthetic ingredients can stress your skin and the planet. In this post, we share five science-backed reasons to switch to all-natural skincare for a healthier glow and a lighter footprint.

When you think of plants, you don't necessarily think of fat, oil, or butter. In fact, for health reasons, most people consume plants because of their low-fat content. But plants have volatile fat (essential oils) and fixed oils like triglycerides, sterols, waxes, etc., with many health benefits, especially for the skin! So, in this article, we'll discuss some of the benefits of using moisturizing plant botanicals on your skin, highlighting a few of our favorites and Simple Body products that contain them. Improves Skin Barrier Function Our skin is our first line of defense against harmful pathogens. The skin barrier is like a wall on the outer layer of our skin with a gatekeeper that decides which substances can pass through and which ones to block. Unfortunately, many things can compromise the integrity of this wall. One of them is dehydration! As we age, our skin has a more challenging time retaining moisture. Dehydrated skin is not only more susceptible to damage, fine lines, and wrinkles, but it also damages our skin barrier. Also, inflammatory skin conditions (Atopic Dermatitis) can diminish skin hydration and increase the amount of water lost through the skin (transepidermal water loss). Thankfully, regular application of the right moisturizing botanicals can prevent skin barrier damage and repair skin barrier function. Modulates Inflammation and Repair Inflammation is a normal part of the skin repair process. Generally, when an injury to the skin occurs, an army of different immune cells is sent to the area for damage control. This army of cells gets busy repairing tissues and preventing and controlling infection, but the increase of cells in a localized area results in inflammation. Unfortunately, inflammation can damage skin tissue if an injury is too big or takes a long time to heal. Many moisturizing botanicals have skin healing (vulnerary) and anti-inflammatory properties that can help control inflammation, especially when it's chronic. Prevents Skin Damage and Aging It is normal for skin to age over time. However, there are several ways we can limit skin damage by minimizing external factors that influence the health of our skin. Things like air pollution, smoking, and long-term exposure to harmful UV rays can cause free radical damage (cell structure changes) to our skin. Many plant botanicals contain antioxidants or anti-free radical molecules. When we apply botanical moisturizers that contain antioxidants, some cell repair can occur and prevent skin damage and aging. Beneficial Moisturizing Botanical Oils and Butters Cocoa Butter (theobroma cacao) Antioxidants in cocoa butter protect skin from free radical damage, preventing premature aging and damage. In addition, its anti-inflammatory properties help to soothe dry, sensitive skin and reduce swelling, irritation, and redness. Simple Body Products: Cocoa Butter is one of the main ingredients in our Daily Face Cream and Body Butters. Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis) High in wax esters, this oil closely resembles the oil your skin already makes (sebum), making it an excellent choice for altered skin barrier issues and acne-prone skin. This anti-inflammatory botanical moisturizing oil prevents and soothes skin conditions like eczema, rosacea, and extreme dry patches. Simple Body Products: Beauty Balm, Makeup Remover, Nightly Face Serum, and Body Lotion Avocado Oil (Persea gratissima or Persea americana) This moisturizing botanical increases collagen synthesis. It also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, making it perfect for dry, chapped, or damaged skin. Simple Body Products: Daily Face Cream and Body Butter Olive Oil (Olea europaea) Packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, Olive oil is a wonderful oil for your skin, especially those extra-dry places. However, avoid using this oil on areas that are acne-prone or sensitive. Simple Body Products: Makeup Remover and Nightly Face Serum Moisturizing Botanicals like Cocoa Butter, Jojoba Oil, Avocado Oil, and Olive oil contain valuable constituents like triglycerides, phospholipids, and antioxidants. Topical application helps promote skin healing, control inflammation, and help fight oxidative stress with their antioxidant properties. Give Simple Body's hydrating botanicals a try today!

Fall weather, busy routines, and cooler air can leave skin dry or dull. Discover simple fall skincare tips—from hydration habits to natural beauty swaps.

School is back in session! That means the sports season is also in full swing. A lot of teenagers come to see us about acne, which is especially difficult to control while they are in sports. Let's discuss some causes of acne, prevention strategies, and products that can help the athletes in your family this fall sports season. Causes It's no secret that hormonal changes during adolescence contribute to an increase in acne formation. In fact, according to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, 85% of people between 12 and 24 experience acne. So, why is this? Hormones can cause the overproduction of keratin, a fibrous protein on the skin. They also trigger pores to enlarge and more sebum to be produced. Sebum is a waxy substance secreted by our sebaceous glands that keeps skin smooth and soft. Combine too much keratin, enlarged pores, and increased sebum with bacteria, and you have a recipe for blocked, inflamed pores. When this happens, pustules, inflammation, or even cystic nodules can form on the skin. Essentially, this is how hormonal changes can lead to the zit-formation process. Besides hormonal changes, athletes are especially vulnerable to acne issues. When we exercise, our bodies eliminate toxins through the pores of our skin and lungs. However, most sports require athletes to wear uniforms and equipment during practice and games that constrict air flow and make it difficult for the skin to breathe. Gear like chinstraps, shoulder pads, knee pads, and helmets keep athletes safe during play, but these things can also trap heat, moisture, and bacteria against the skin. This combo creates the perfect environment for acne (Acne Mechanica) to form. Once the irritation, inflammation, and acne formation begins, it can be difficult for the skin to heal without giving it a break from whatever is causing the issue. Not something easy to do mid-season! Fortunately, there are strategies to implement to help skin stay healthy all season long. Natural Preventative Measures Athletes may be unable to control the type of equipment they are required to wear or the environmental conditions in which they perform. However, athletes can care for their skin in ways that will mitigate acne outbreaks. Here are a few recommendations: Clean any shared equipment before and after you use it. Bacteria can spread quickly from athlete to athlete when coaches don't firmly establish hygienic practices with their team beforehand. Examples include properly sanitizing uniforms, knee pads, and even weightlifting equipment. Remove sweaty workout clothes after practice or a game and shower immediately. If a shower isn't available right away, carry a travel-size Clean Sweep Toner in your gym bag, spritz a cotton pad and apply it to acne-prone areas as a quick solution in this circumstance. Change into a fresh set of clothing until you can shower. Wearing looser fitting clothing during practice, preferrable with moisture-wicking technology, can allow the skin to breathe and sweat to evaporate. Choose cleansers without synthetic fragrance or harsh chemicals that can irritate the skin. But limit using cleansers more than two times a day. Any more than that, and you can do more harm than good! Diet can also influence your athletes' skin. Avoid eating foods that contain a lot of sugar, dairy, and trans-fatty acids. Eat colorful fruits and vegetables with vitamins and minerals that promote skin health. Drink at least 64 ounces of water a day. Athletes who sweat a lot will need even more! Keeping your insides hydrated keeps your skin hydrated. Simple Body Solutions Simple Body has several solutions for athletes with acne-prone skin. Developing a regular skincare routine can go a long way toward preventing problems this sports season. In the morning, cleanse your face with Lavender Foaming Face Wash. Made with Lavender Tea and vegetable glycerin (which is a skin moisturizer for extremely dry skin), this wash naturally cleans without drying out the skin. Next, mist a cotton pad with Clean Sweep Toner and apply it to the face and acne-prone areas to clean dirt and oil from pores and tone the skin. Applying moisturizer to acne-prone skin may seem counterintuitive. However, the combination of oils and butter in our Daily Face Cream closely resembles the sebum our sebaceous glands naturally make. Dry skin can make our body believe it needs to produce more oil. Consistent application of Daily Face Cream can balance oil production and prevent breakouts. Use Tea Tree Melaleuca alternifolia essential oil and Lavender Lavandula angustifolia essential oil in a 1:1 ratio to spot-treat breakouts. Perspiration and sweat are two ways our bodies naturally eliminate toxins. That doesn't mean you have to stink! Although we do not recommend antiperspirants, we have all-natural, effective deodorants that absorb odor. Try Lavender, Himalayan Magic, Cedar+Clove, Citrus Burst, or Unscented Deodorant options from Simple Body. Sports are a fantastic way to learn how to care for our bodies through exercise and movement. Even though some skin issues are hormonally and genetically predisposed, we can influence many things in our environment to prevent and mitigate acne outbreaks and have healthy skin on and off-season. xoxoJewels

Our skin is the largest organ of the body and makes up about 15% of our body weight. It acts as a protective barrier against things that could potentially cause biological and physical harm. Unfortunately, as we age, the production of new skin cells slows, and so does the shedding of dead skin cells. One of the ways we can assist skin regeneration is to exfoliate (remove) dead skin cells. When we exfoliate, we stimulate cells in the lower layers to grow. Also, by removing buildup on the surface of our skin, we decrease the appearance of wrinkles. But how do you know which type of exfoliation is right for you? At Simple Body, we offer several exfoliation methods like Clay Masks, Enzyme Masks, and Bamboo Face Polish. Let's discuss the benefits and differences between each type. Exfoliate with Clay Masks Using clay to care for skin dates back to ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. Why are clay masks so effective? The clay dries on the skin and absorbs impurities by drawing toxins out, unclogging, tightening, and refining pores. And then, when you remove the mask with warm water, you exfoliate dead skin cells, leaving soft and radiant skin in its place. There are several different kinds of clay masks. Here are a few options: French Green Clay This clay contains a combination of minerals like montmorillonite, dolomite, magnesium, calcium, potassium, manganese, phosphorus, zinc, silicon, copper, and selenium. It also contains elements of rich, decomposed plant material, like kelp and algae. This clay works well to exfoliate oily or combination skin. White Kaolin Clay With anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, kaolin clay prevents acne, absorbs excess oil, and gently exfoliates the skin. This clay is the best choice to exfoliate sensitive or thin skin. French Caramel Clay Composed of mostly llite, Kaolin, and Montmorillonite, this mineral clay mask cleanses, detoxifies, tones, and exfoliates. Suitable for all skin types, French Caramel Clay revitalizes dull-looking skin. Pick one day each week to treat yourself with a Clay mask, like "Mask Mondays!" If you have dry skin, mix clay with an oil, like jojoba oil or almond. Other ideas include mixing clays with witch hazel, aloe vera, or rosewater toner! A little tip: Clay can clog drains and cause problems with plumbing. So remove the clay mask with a wet, warm paper towel before washing it off with a warm cloth. Exfoliate with Enzyme masks Another way to exfoliate dead skin cells is with an enzyme mask. Enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions and accelerate the removal of dead skin cells (essentially, eating them). Some fruit naturally contains enzymes like bromelain in pineapple, papain in papaya, and alpha-hydroxy acids in pumpkin. When applied to the skin, enzymes go to work, resurfacing and exfoliating. Enzyme masks are full of nutrients like antioxidants and bioflavonoids, which are great for acne-prone skin that can be irritated with harsh exfoliation. Leave on for 10- 15 minutes and remove with warm water. Simple Body's Pineapple and Papaya enzyme mask is suitable for all skin types! Our Pumpkin enzyme mask deeply exfoliates but may not be ideal for sensitive skin. You can use enzyme masks once a week to brighten and restore softness to the skin. Exfoliate with Bamboo Face Polish: Many exfoliating products on the market contain tiny, plastic microbead particles that find their way into our water systems, harming aquatic life. Thankfully, nature provides us with exfoliating alternatives that don't harm the environment. Bamboo stem extract contains about 70% silica and offers a naturally abrasive exfoliant rich in amino acids and flavonoids. Our Bamboo Face Polish also contains White Kaolin clay (see above), coconut oil, cocoa butter, jojoba oil, vitamin E, and glycerin, a humectant that draws water into the skin. This fantastic method of exfoliation removes dead skin cells and impurities without over-drying your skin! Our favorite way to use this polish is in the shower. Once a week, scoop a small amount of Bamboo Face Polish between your fingers and apply it to wet skin. Gently massage in a circular motion avoiding the eyes. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. We refer to this excellent scrub as "microdermabrasion in a bottle!" Now that you know the differences and benefits of three exfoliation methods, it's time to make them a part of your weekly skincare routine. The Clay masks, Enzyme masks, and Bamboo Face Polish at Simple Body are all designed to empower you to have healthy, more radiant skin. After you exfoliate, it's critical to use a lotion & moisturizer for dry skin. So, be sure to apply Daily Face Cream and Beauty Balm to lock in moisture. We are happy to help you solve your skincare questions, so feel free to contact us for more exfoliation ideas and recipes.

At Simple Body, we use botanical ingredients for a reason. Learn how five powerful herbs—calendula, chamomile, marshmallow, St. John’s Wort, and yarrow—nurture and restore skin the natural way.

Summer is here! During the summer months, most of us spend more time outside gathering with friends, exercising, doing yard work, etc... Unfortunately, our skin takes a beating! Skin is the largest organ in the body, providing a flexible layer of protection between you and a potentially harsh environment. Let's talk about how to care for summer skin while enjoying all your favorite outdoor activities. Sun in Moderation First things first… the sun is good for you! When our skin is exposed to the sun, it makes Vitamin D, an essential vitamin and hormone. But too much sun exposure can cause problems like dry skin, damage, burns, and even skin cancer. Adding sunscreen to your morning routine (between Daily Face Cream and Beauty Balm) can help protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays. Also, have you ever looked at the ingredient label of your sunscreen and wondered what is worse, no sunscreen or putting all those unknown ingredients on your body? We are right there with you! All Good Mineral Sunscreen Thankfully, Simple Body now carries THINK Sunscreen! This sunscreen checks all the boxes for us. It uses the power of Non-Nano Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, two mineral-based ingredients that effectively block the sun's harmful rays. Since these two ingredients are too big to be absorbed by our pores, they stay on the surface of our skin, giving us protection without harming our bodies. This also protects sea life, including the coral reef, because they have pores, too! The best part is ALL Good sunscreens exclude a hefty list of toxic ingredients commonly found in Sunscreen. A few of these ingredients include Octinoxate, Octocrylene, Aminobenzoic Acid, Enzacamene, Octisalate, Homosalate, Avobenzone, Parabens, Phthalates, Tricosan, plastic, and Phenoxyethanol. All Good is also a certified B-Corporation, women-owned, Climate Neutral Certified, Cruelty-free, and Reef-Friendly. What's not to love?! Regular Exfoliation Some mineral-based sunscreens use nanoparticles of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to prevent the white sheen they can leave behind. However, these nanoparticles are small enough to be absorbed by the skin, which defeats the purpose of using mineral-based sunscreen! We have an alternative solution that reduces the pasty white appearance of Mineral-based sunscreens. Exfoliation! Exfoliating your skin regularly will help you avoid looking like a walking highlighter at the beach. Simple Body recommends regular exfoliation on your face with a Clay Mask, Bamboo Face Polish, or Enzyme mask. For daily full-body exfoliation, add in a dry brushing routine before your shower. And then, use an all-natural pouf along with one of our emulsified sugar scrubs to gently exfoliate dead skin. This will give All Good Sunscreen a smooth surface to land on and leave you with a natural, sun-protected glow. Simple Body Solutions for Sun-damaged Skin Your skin also acts as a water storage station for the body. Dry, windy, and hot conditions make skin more susceptible to sunburns and other damage. If this happens to you, Simple Body Products can help! Applying Aloe Vera Gel to damaged skin is a safe and effective way to cool a sunburn. For more support, adults can add Lavender essential oil to Aloe Vera for even more support. Another excellent sunburn remedy is SImple Body's Beauty Balm! It is chocked full of ingredients that repair and protect damaged skin cells. This Balm has a significant amount of Vitamin C and Vitamin E, two of the most powerful antioxidants for the body. Carrot seed Daucus carota essential oil is another ingredient that makes Beauty Balm shine. The constituents in this oil help regenerate and protect cells, making it an effective remedy for dry, scarred, or sun-damaged skin. So, before you head outside this summer, remember ways you can care for summer skin. Utilize Simple Body's full line of all-natural skincare products to gently exfoliate dead skin cells, protect your skin from the sun, and repair dry or damaged skin. xoxoJewels

You’re eating better, exercising, and focusing on your health—so why shouldn’t your skincare reflect that, too? In this post, we break down how to read ingredient labels and choose products that align with your healthy lifestyle and skin goals.

Every person has a unique skin personality. Some people struggle with overly dry or oily skin, and others have both! Combination Skin can make skincare a challenge. You don't want to irritate oily or acne-prone areas, yet you need to moisturize the dry areas on your face. At Simple Body, we have a weekly skincare regimen that we recommend for our customers that have combination skin. Step 1: Wash Our Chamomile Face Wash will gently cleanse your skin without removing all of your skin's natural oils. It contains vegetable glycerine, which is a humectant that will help to trap moisture in the sky and hydrate dry areas. Chamomile Tea, which is the base for our foaming face wash, has oil-absorbing properties which are fantastic for oily skin. It's important to wash your face morning and night. Step 2: Tone Choose a toner based on your skin sensitivity and breakouts. If you have oily skin and breakouts, our Clean Sweep Toner will help control excess oil and eliminate bacteria that often is the culprit for breakouts. If your skin is dry and patchy, choose our Rosewater Toner. Rosewater balances the natural oils and helps to hydrate any dry areas, keeping combination skin in check. Step 3: Hydrate In the morning, it's important to hydrate your skin with our Daily Face Cream. The cream will act as a barrier to protect your skin against pollutants, pollens, and free radicals in the air. It will also provide an important layer of moisture and nutrients for your skin. At night, however, use our Nightly Face Serum to hydrate. It's important to let your skin breathe and rejuvenate. Our lightweight oil allows oxygen to penetrate the cells and rebuild new skin cells. Step 4: Nutrition Give your skin a boost of nutrition with our Vitamin C Beauty Balm. It's packed with ingredients that will nourish and repair your skin. People with acne-prone skin tend to shy away from using oils on their skin; however, it's crucial that you use oils that closely resemble human sebum. This way the body will recognize the oil and allow it to absorb and nourish the skin. Use the Beauty Balm both day and night if you have intensely dry skin. Step 5: Detox Prepare a clay mask for your skin weekly. Our French Green Clay Mask will help absorb excess oil, remove impurities, and shrink pores. If you have acne or a few break-out spots, add 1 drop of tea tree to your clay mask to treat any bacteria that may be lingering on your skin. Step 6: Exfoliate Dead skin cells can clog your pores and make your skin look dull. Our all-natural Lavender + Frankincense Bamboo Face Polish utilizes ground bamboo stem, coconut oil, and white kaolin clay to gently exfoliate dead skin cells and moisturize your skin. Exfoliate at least once a week! Step 7: Brighten Apply an enzyme mask once a week to gently exfoliate and nourish your skin. Our Pineapple + Papaya Enzyme Mask (better for combination or sensitive skin) feeds your skin a plethora of antioxidants and leaves your skin feeling replenished, brightened, and soft. Step 8: Spot Treat People with Combination skin often experience too much oil in the T zone (forehead, nose, and chin) and dry skin everywhere else. Lavender (lavandula angustifolia) and Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) essential oils are both effective spot treatments for adult acne. Formulate your own spot treatment: SUPPLIES: Roller Ball (Must be glass and dark-colored) available HERELavender Essential OilTea Tree Essential Oil DIRECTIONS: Remove the cap and roller ball. Add a 1:1 ratio of Lavender and Tea Tree Essential Oil to the container. Allow room for the ball to be placed back on the container. Add the cap and shake your oils for about 1 minute to blend. Apply as a spot treatment for acne. If you would like to buy anti-aging products for Sensitive/Combination in a kit with easy-to-follow instructions, click HERE.

Your skin works hard every day—filtering out toxins, protecting against pollutants, and keeping your body balanced. Just like your body needs a good cleanse now and then, your skin benefits from a little detox, too. One of the easiest and most effective ways to do that? Clay masks. Using a clay mask once or twice a week helps absorb excess oil, clear congested pores, and gently exfoliate away dead skin cells. The result is smoother, brighter, healthier-looking skin—without harsh ingredients or complicated routines. At Simple Body, we use only 100% natural mineral clays that are mechanically extracted—never chemically processed. Our clays are crushed, oven-dried, and finely sorted using a clean, modern process. Each type of clay is rich in minerals and trace elements, and free from quartz or crystalline silica—making them safe, pure, and incredibly effective.

Here’s why they’re worth adding to your weekly routine: Detoxifies and draws out impurities from deep within pores Balances oil production without over-drying Exfoliates naturally, helping to smooth texture and boost radiance Stimulates circulation, encouraging cell renewal Tightens and tones, giving your skin a refreshed, firm feeling No matter your skin type—dry, oily, or sensitive—there’s a clay that can help restore balance and bring out your natural glow.

When mixed into a mask, it dries to a soft green finish—tightening pores as it works, leaving skin purified and glowing. French Red Clay Mask Rich in iron oxide, French Red Clay helps promote cell regeneration and a healthy glow. It’s known for its ability to deeply cleanse, revitalize, and stimulate circulation, making it a favorite for dull or tired skin. Benefits: Gently exfoliates and smooths skin Promotes cell renewal Helps tone and firm Can be used on the face or body (even on stretch marks and cellulite areas) Perfect for: mature, sensitive, or dry skin. When applied, it gives your skin a natural flush—like you’ve just come back from a long walk in the sun.

Benefits: Mildly exfoliates to remove dry or dead cells Clarifies and balances skin tone Reduces the appearance of pores Preps skin beautifully for makeup application Perfect for: all skin types, especially dry or sensitive. Use it before a special occasion for a smooth, radiant canvas. How to Use Clay Masks You can mix clay with a variety of liquids to customize your mask for your skin type or needs. Start with about 1 teaspoon of clay and add small amounts of your chosen liquid until you achieve a creamy consistency. Mixing options: Water or rosewater for normal skin Coconut milk or aloe vera juice for dry skin Hydrosols or apple cider vinegar for oily or breakout-prone skin A few drops of facial oil for mature skin Apply evenly to your face and neck using clean fingers or a fan brush. Leave on for about 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water. Follow with Daily Face Cream and a layer of Beauty Balm to lock in moisture and restore hydration.

Colorado’s sun, wind, and altitude can wreak havoc on your skin. In this guide, we share how to treat dry skin naturally using humectants, toners, and nutrient-rich moisturizers for lasting hydration.
