Our Rituals
We all wash our faces in the evening (we hope!) as part of our daily routine, but how we do that can have an effect not only on our skin health, but also our wellbeing. A couple of splashes of water or a quick swipe with a face wipe has little benefit to the skin or mind.
Using skincare in a ritualistic manner has numerous benefits and doesn’t have to take long! For example, by using our cleansing balm provides a moment of deep relaxation and a moment to breathe.
Skincare Ritual Guide
STEP 1 – DOUBLE CLEANSE WITH GENTLY NOURISHING CLEANSING BALM
(Do this every morning and once every evening)
Scoop a pearl-size amount morning and evening and apply to a dry face. Massage thoroughly for a minute or two to decongest your skin and boost circulation for a natural glow. Place a hot cloth over your face and inhale the wild lavender and grapefruit blend, allowing it to reset your senses. Repeat to double-cleanse.
STEP 2 – EXFOLIATE WITH GENTLY RESURFACING FACIAL EXFOLIANT
(Use twice weekly max)
Scoop a pea-sized amount into palm and add enough water to make a paste. Apply to the face in circular motions to exfoliate and hydrate before removing with a hot cloth. The exfoliating blend of creamy avocado, shea butter, apricot & hibiscus powder rich in alpha hydroxy acid will smooth and refine dull skin with a gentle facial massage. (Avoid getting water in the jar).
STEP 3 – RELAX WITH CALM & SOOTHE FACE MASK
(Use twice weekly or add a dot onto a blemish and leave overnight)
Apply a thin layer over cleansed face, neck and decolletage. Leave for 10 to 15 minutes before removing with a hot cloth. It's fabulous as an emergency pick-me-up or you can leave on overnight for a deep replenishing mask and wake up to glowing, healthy clear skin.
STEP 4 – HYDRATE & MOISTURISE
(daily)
AM: Warm 2/3 drops of Vitamin-Rich Botanical Day Oil and press into damp, cleansed skin. This oil is nature's alternative to retinol and will restore radiance to dull and tired skin.
PM: Warm 2/3 drops of Overnight Replenishing Oil between your hands and place over the face, pressing the oils into the skin to promote natural collagen production. Wake up to plump and glowing skin.
ANYTIME:
Warm a dot of Hydration Boost Moisturising Balm between the fingertips to warm before pressing into the skin. This can be layered with over the day or night oils if the skin is particularly dry or used alone.
Less is more with all of our products. It's better to use a little and go back to for more if you need to. They are concentrated so a little goes a long way!

About Kelly - From Kitchen Creations to Crafted Skincare: My Passion Journey
Skincare has always held a special place in my heart, even from a young age. I remember being captivated by the lotions and potions on my mum's dressing table, eagerly experimenting with them all. My childhood curiosity extended to the kitchen, where I'd concoct DIY masks from honey, yogurt, avocado, and even porridge oats!
While my career path initially led me to become a qualified psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience, the pull towards skincare never truly faded. Perhaps it was always meant to be.
Today, as a qualified skincare formulator, my passion remains as vibrant as ever, albeit with a touch more sophistication. Some of those same childhood ingredients, like the ones in our facial exfoliant, have come full circle, finding their way into our meticulously crafted products.
Husk & Seed is a culmination of my lifelong fascination with skincare, and I'm thrilled to share it with you. Every product is formulated with the same love and dedication I felt as a child, ensuring you experience the joy of natural, effective skincare.
About Wendy - From Healing Touch to Holistic Skincare.
My journey with Husk & Seed began through my massage and reflexology practice. Witnessing the concerns of pregnant women and cancer patients seeking natural, gentle skincare options sparked a desire to create something more than just typical massage oils.
Furthermore, I encountered individuals overwhelmed by stress, yearning for self-care solutions beyond temporary fixes. This experience ignited a passion to develop a skincare approach that goes beyond the surface, offering a moment of respite and self-connection.
Husk & Seed embodies this philosophy. Our products are formulated with 100% natural ingredients, offering gentle yet effective care. More importantly, we encourage our customers to embrace a mindful skincare ritual – a few precious moments each day to de-stress, soothe the skin, and unwind the mind.
Husk & Seed is not just about skincare; it's about creating a space for self-care and mindful connection. We invite you to join us on this journey to discover the power of natural ingredients and the transformative potential of a dedicated skincare ritual.
