RITUALER

Good morning sunshine ritual

A morning ritual that welcomes the sunny season – or brings you sunshine on grey days.

 

- Gently get out of bed, open a window and breathe in the crisp spring air.

 

- Reach for the sun by stretching your body. You could do a yoga sun salutation to welcome the new day.

 

- Make a cup of boiled water with fresh lemon and take it into the bathroom. Drinking warm lemon water first thing in the morning is said to help kick-start your digestion. 

 

- Dry brush your body with the BUFFor RECHARGE dry brush. Start at the soles of your feet and work your way up towards your heart. Use dynamic yet gentle strokes and feel your body vibrate with energy.

 

- Dry brush the skin on your décolletage, neck and face with the RENEW facial brush. Brushing the skin on your face acts as a natural ‘mini-facelift’. 

- Stand still for a moment and feel your body tingle. Breathe. With your eyes closed, slowly lift and lower the soles of your feet towards the floor, visualising how you’d like your day to unfold.

 

- Rinse away the dead skin cells that have been loosened during dry brushing whilst in the shower. Wash your body with our sensorial BLAST body wash. Inhale the citrus-fresh aromatherapy from your palms with three deep breaths before lathering up.

 

- Cleanse your face with your usual facial cleanser, and finish the brushing ritual with the ACTIVATE scalp brush, which stimulates and cleanses your scalp. Use it on wet hair together with your shampoo.

 

- Apply the PRE & AFTER SUN serum-lotion to your body and face after your shower to prepare your skin with extra protective antioxidants and hydration before sun exposure. Use it on its own or as a serum, just as you would on your face, before applying your usual skincare. The easily absorbed PRE & AFTER SUN provides deep hydration for the skin, whilst the aromatherapeutic fragrance transports your thoughts to the fields of southern Italy.

 

- Follow with body lotion if your skin is dry, or apply Karmameju SUN sun cream if you’re heading out to enjoy the sun’s rays. 

 

- Apply the PRE & AFTER SUN serum-lotion to your face, followed by SUN face creamor SUN BB cream. If your skin is very dry, you can apply your face cream before the sun cream or BB cream. Check in with your skin to gauge its needs. 

 

- Remember to drink your lemon water, if you haven’t already done so. Feel free to have a spoonful of oil from your kitchen – olive, hemp, linseed or similar – to nourish your skin from within as well.

 

- Finish the ritual with a deep breath and a smile in the mirror – a smile helps your body release stress-relieving oxytocin. It’s hard not to feel happiness in your heart when we smile. Remember that.

So, good morning,

sunshine…
