A season for calm & care
Calm & Care
I find that February is often a quiet month. Even though it is Inbolc, the Celtic start of Spring, it still can very much feel like winter. The days are slowly lengthening, but there’s still a sense of pause, a need for rest before energy begins to rise again. It’s a time when many of us notice dryness in the skin, tension in the body, and a general feeling of needing a little more care.
This is exactly the space our Calm Body Care range was created to support.
Calm is about slowing down and returning to the body. These are products designed to be used unhurriedly, after a bath or shower, before bed, or whenever you feel the need to ground yourself. They’re especially supportive during colder months, when skin can feel drier and more sensitive.
The botanical ingredients in the Calm range work to nourish and protect the skin barrier, while the natural essential oil blend of Lavender, Geranium and Clary Sage encourage a sense of ease and relaxation. Rather than being overpowering, the scent is gentle and grounding.
How to Use Calm Body Care to create a grounding ritual
Calm Body Scrub
Begin by taking a moment to arrive in the space, perhaps before a bath or shower. Gently massage some scrub onto dry skin using circular motions to exfoliate. Take your time, letting the rhythm of the movement help you slow down. Rinse off the exfoliant and pat dry.
This rich, multi-purpose balm is divine when applied to warm skin, where it melts in easily and locks in moisture. It’s perfect after bathing or showering. Warm the balm between your hands and massage onto skin, focusing on areas that feel dry or in need of extra care. You can also apply a small amount to your pulse points before bed or whenever the body feels in need of grounding. Breathe in the aroma and allow the act of applying balm to become a quiet pause rather than something to rush through.
Taking of all things calm, let’s delve into the remarkable ingredients that make our Calm Balm a skin saviour. I want to shine the spotlight on three of my favourite ingredients that make this balm a cherished favourite among skincare enthusiasts - Shea Butter, Hemp Seed Oil, and Borage Seed Oil.
Shea Butter - nature's rejuvenator
Let's start with Shea Butter, often referred to as "Nature's Rejuvenator." This incredible ingredient is high in Oleic Acid, an essential fatty acid that nourishes and restores your skin. It's also a source of Vitamin A, a potent antioxidant known for its rejuvenating properties. Shea Butter not only hydrates and moisturizes your skin but also helps it regain its youthful glow. If you're looking for a natural way to address signs of aging and promote skin vitality, Shea Butter is your secret weapon.
Hemp Seed Oil - deep hydration and balance
Next on the list is Hemp Seed Oil, a true superstar in the world of skincare. This oil provides deep hydration and effectively balances your skin's moisture levels. What sets Hemp Seed Oil apart is its impressive anti-inflammatory properties, making it an ideal choice for soothing irritated and red skin. It's a natural solution to maintaining skin balance and ensuring your complexion stays beautifully hydrated.
Borage Seed Oil, 20% GLA - the essential fatty acid hero
Last but certainly not least is Borage Seed Oil, boasting an impressive 20% Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), a key essential fatty acid. This hero ingredient supports your skin's natural barrier, helping it remain healthy, radiant, and resilient. Borage Seed Oil is your go-to solution for maintaining a strong and vibrant complexion.
By incorporating these natural ingredients into our Calm Balm, we've created a skincare product that not only nourishes your skin but also nurtures your senses. Say goodbye to stress and skin concerns and welcome a moment of tranquillity with Hawthorn Skincare's Calm Balm.
