In this episode of Plants, Flowers, Oils, and Whimsy, I’m diving into the importance of exfoliation as we shift from summer to fall. Seasonal transitions are the perfect time to give our skin a little extra love, and exfoliation helps us release what no longer serves us—both physically and symbolically. I’ll be sharing my favorite gentle exfoliants: honey for its antibacterial and hydrating properties, clays like Kaolin and French green for their purifying and soft buffing qualities, and ground herbs such as chamomile, oats, and rose petals for their calming, soothing, and toning benefits. These natural ingredients not only support your skin, but they also add a touch of ritual and intention to your routine. To me, exfoliation isn’t just skincare—it’s a self-care practice, a way to honor the changing season and welcome fresh energy into our lives. And if you’d love more guidance, recipes, and resources for creating your own natural skincare rituals, I’d love to invite you to explore The Course Library—a beautiful collection designed to support you in crafting skincare and self-care routines that feel nourishing and empowering.
