Me Time with Françoise

It’s here! Botnia’s special seasonal offering of Lavender Hydrosol has arrived, and it is magical and delightful.

Lavender doesn’t just smell nice. Its calming effects on the nervous system can lift your spirits and help you get a better night’s sleep, both of which will lead to healthier skin.

Did you know lavender also provides specific benefits for some of your most frequent skin concerns?
Acne: Kills harmful bacteria, potentially healing and preventing breakouts
Eczema: Has antifungal properties that can soothe dry skin (be sure to patch-test in case of a potential allergic reaction)
Blotchy skin: Reduces inflammation to even your skin tone

Book any facial online and leave a note requesting the Lavender Sérénité experience. Available while supplies last.

Want to take some serenity home with you? Email me to reserve your bottle of Botnia’s lavender hydrosol, a limited seasonal release.

Here are the testimonials on the new Botnia Gentle Sun Cream SPF 30
"it blends in so well. Feels soft and smells amazing. This is not a regular sunscreen."
"Beautiful ingredients."
"I love how it feels. Silky, soft, gentle on my skin."
"It really is magic. I'm sock how good it feels and how fast it absorbs in"

Put your timer on... it's new, and it’s zinc.

Zinc sits on the skin's surface and forms a physical barrier. It reflects and scatters UV radiation, which means it protects your skin from both UVA and UVB damage without being absorbed.

But what I care about even more is what it does beyond sun protection.

Zinc is calming
Anti-inflammatory,
Help reduce redness and irritation.

I CAN'T WAIT!

Start your skincare here”:

SPF works better when your skin is supported underneath. In the treatment room, the thing I notice most often is barrier compromised skin…skin that feels irritated, sensitive, or redness that lingers.

If your barrier is off, even the best sunscreen won’t sit right.

Here are my favorite barrier-supportive steps that help rebuild and balance your skin biome:

Essential Enzymes
Rose Geranium Hydrosol
Well Serum
Wisdom Oil

DM or email me, and I’ll help build and customize your barrier-supportive routine.
