SPRING EQUINOX

Coming into balance is such a blessing. The Spring Equinox—midway between the Winter and the Summer solstice—creates a space for pause, for reflection, and for re-energizing the whole being.

I love to carve out a little time to reflect on the season past and to attune to what’s to come–all the beauty and the bounty of the Spring and summertime. One way to do this is to connect with plant essences that support reflection, and those that help us restore our energetic currents.

Here’s my protocol for finding balance and awakening to the possibilities of Spring—enlivening the mind, body, spirit and skin.

STEP 1
Gently exfoliate with Epi-Peel, blended with Spearmint and Rosemary, working the formula into the skin with circular motions and allowing to set for 10 minutes.

STEP 2
Distill two drops of essence of Lavender in a basin of hot water and use a warm cloth to remove your mask, inhaling deeply to clarify the senses.

STEP 3
Massage Luminous Morning Creme, with uplifting essence of Neroli, dissolving any tension with your fingertips and envisioning the season ahead. How would you love to be nourished? What would you love to bring into balance? Allow the answers to rise from deep within.

STEP 4
For the body, buff the arms, legs—anywhere and everywhere—with Epi-Body Polish, whisking away dullness and allowing your skin to breathe deeply. Rinse off and feel the tingling aliveness of you!
