Ahhhh, I have been loving the DIY skin and haircare ingredients Bramble Berry has been bringing in. They’ve definitely gotten me trying new things well outside of the soapmaking realm. Yay! One of the most popular projects we launched was a solid cleansing balm which of course, got me thinking about how oils wash skin and it’s a good time to think about that because as the leaves start to fall and the air grows crisp, there’s no better time to introduce some enchanted alterations to our skincare routines.
Unlock the Magic of Fall Skincare with Oil-Based Cleansers! 🍁✨
Amidst the cozy embrace of pumpkin-spiced lattes and woolen scarves, have you ever paused to consider the secret elixir for glowing autumn skin? Look no further than oil-based cleansers, Mother Nature’s luxurious spa treat.
But why, you ask? As the air becomes drier, our skin craves extra hydration. Traditional cleansers can be overzealous, sometimes stripping skin of natural oils. Enter the world of oil-based magic. Like a protective suit of armor, these cleansers guard our skin against fall’s brisk bite. And if you ski or do outdoor winter sports? That skin mantle really needs the extra love.
Our very own Chamomile Cleansing Balm is like a potion brewed in a fairy’s cauldron. With the gentleness of chamomile – known for its hydration and anti-inflammatory properties – and the fortifying strength of Avocado Oil, it not only maintains your skin’s pH balance but also serves as a valiant knight against fine lines, aging, and rough patches.

The Microbiome: Your Skin’s Royal Guard 🌿
Picture the microbiome as the majestic guard of a castle. It’s a harmonious blend of protective oils and loyal bacteria, known as microbiota, which defends our kingdom (read: body) from potential threats. As autumn winds blow, this guard ensures our fortress remains impervious to issues like dryness and acne. A oil based cleansing cream can be equally good at helping to maintain that barrier of protective oil.
While sipping on apple cider and indulging in seasonal veggies, remember to treat your skin’s outer layer. Complement your oil-based cleanser with a hydrating serum or moisturizer. For best results, use the cleansing cream or balm in the evening to thoroughly remove the day’s impurities, then seal in moisture with your favorite night cream or (bonus points) layer on the goodness with a hyaluronic acid serum (DIY recipe here or buy the pre-made base in bulk here).
