Class Details

Adventures in Botanical Skin Care

 

Learn natural ways to care for your skin using plants, foods, and judiciously chosen supplements. This class takes a deep dive into understanding your skin and how to gently care for it. We’ll touch on skin function and different skin types before getting into approaches for supporting skin health — including specific issues such as sun damage, dry skin, aging skin, and acne. The class weaves together traditional approaches, science, and experiences from my herbal practice.

 

Skin problems can be both physically and emotionally distressing, especially since skin is, quite literally, our interface with the world. Skin performs many important functions and multiple factors impact its health, from simple aging, hormones, and nutrition to UV exposure, regional climate, and pollution.

 

Some specific topics we’ll cover:

• topical herbs for different skin types/issues & different ways of using them
• oils (for example, coconut, avocado, and olive) for different skin types
• my favorite 3 essential oils for skin care (for topical usage in diluted form)
• beneficial foods/nutrients
• a few studies looking at supplements

 

Join us on this journey to healthier skin. Class participants will receive a sample of a gentle, botanical blend for a soothing facial mask.
