⁉️ How do you even use a cleansing oil? It’s ⁉️ How do you even use a cleansing oil? It’s a common question! Every oil is different depending on the base. And yes, even Oily skin can use an oil cleanser. Making sure to remove thoroughly is the key!  ❗️Of course the base we use in Cleo is Calendula, mixed in with Coconut Oil. These are great at removing dirt and makeup while being gentle and healing.  1️⃣ Using a small amount of oil emulsify in your hands by rubbing them together.  2️⃣Adding a small amount of warm water to your hands will allow for better spread of the product.  3️⃣ Apply to the skin using upward circular motions, making sure to not neglect the area behind the ears, neck and chest.  4️⃣ Rinse off with warm water. Wash cloths can be used as well, being mindful of the pressure used.  🍾 There you have it! Simple, clean ingredients, effective.

EXFOLIATING ❗Whatever you do DONT use that one EXFOLIATING  ❗Whatever you do DONT use that one scrub on our face. You know which one I’m talking about!  ✔Exfoliating is your skin’s best friend! There are so many reasons to incorporate an exfoliator into your routine.  *Better product penetration
*Helps remove debris from pores
*Smoothes the surface of your skin
*Combats fine lines and wrinkles
*Increases the collagen production 
*Stimulates circulation bringing new cells to the skin
*Reduce Hyper-pigmentation (brown spots)  ✔Exfoliants come in varied methods; Scrubs, masks, chemical, enzymes.  ❗It's important to not over exfoliate because that will cause more harm than good. I am happy to listen to your skin condition/type and properly recommend an exfoliating regimen for you!  📸 @kelseymkurtis  #birchwoodbotanicals #bellinghamwa #herbalapothecary #farmtoskin #buylocal #smallbatch #selfcare #skincare #esthetics #handmade #stayhome #stayhealthy #herbs #healingwithherbs #herbalskincare #farmfresh #exfoliating #cleanproducts #skincaretips #virtualfacials
💧MOISTURIZER . . . 🔨 Moisturizing is one of 💧MOISTURIZER

.
🔨 Moisturizing is one of your best tools to combat aging in the skin. Loss of moisture from external and internal causes leaves the skin dull, dry and prone to conditions.  ❗ALL SKIN TYPES must use a moisturizer. Even the oiliest oily skin needs hydration and can actually help COMBAT acne. It’s all about finding the right balance for your skin specifically.  ⚖ This can be a trial and error process for some people so if the first one you try doesn’t work or you don’t like it, try something new.  🧴 For Dry/Mature skin you want heavy emollients like oils and waxes. For Oily/Acneic skin I love Hyaluronic Acid because it’s non-comedogenic. If you have questions regarding moisturizers and what I think would work best for you just DM!  📸 @kelseymkurtis  #birchwoodbotanicals #farmtoskin #bellinghamwa #buylocal #smallbatch #skincare #handmade #skincare #esthetics #herbs #healingwithherbs  #skincaretips #culinaryherbalism #kitchenwitch #bellinghamhandmade #calendulaoil #roseoil #moisturize #oilyskin #matureskin #allskintypes #hydratedskin #selfcare #handmadeskincare #expertskincare #eczemarelief #seborrheicdermatitis
Skin care tip! ❓Why is using a toner so importa Skin care tip!  ❓Why is using a toner so important to your skin care program?  ❗The toner is an often overlooked component of a complete skin care program. The toners job is to balance the ph levels of the skin, if the ph in the skin is off it can lead to an over production in oil.   ❗Another benefit of balanced ph is the skin is better able to accept the benefits of products used after. Better results from your serums, masks and moisturizers because the skin isn’t fighting to restore itself.   ✴ I have had many clients complain of an abundance of oil on their skin at the end of the day. Once we added a toner and a proper moisturizer (we’ll get into that later!) the oil production slowed way down. Anyone else had this experience? What’s your toner story?

Personal Information

The Tomlin Family farm was puchased in 1946 by George and Edna Tomlin. The 3 and 1/2 acre parcel is nestled in the NW corner of Bellingham Washington. It remained a working farm with cows, pigs, chickens and some gardening until the 1960’s when Bellingham pushed its cities limits passed the residence and the elder Tomlins retired. It is now the Homestead of Birchwood Botanicals.
