2025 Health & Beauty Essentials Award Winner (Keene, NH—remedies)
Our all-natural 35 ingredient formulation has superior gentle effectiveness for sudden blood flow/flushing, reduces swelling, refines texture and grain of skin and reduces appearance of pore size, wipes out splotchiness and discoloration evening and brightening the skin tone and establishes a clean, protective barrier while revealing incredibly smooth, fresh, rehydrated and flawless youthful skin. Also works well for cooling Blemished Skin (acne prone). Spray on generously and continuously until relief is felt - anytime.
To Use: Shake well. Hold at 45 degree angle up and away from face, neck and chest and spritz liberally after washing with our our Anti-Aging Face Wash in the morning, after our Cooling Facial Toner at night and before applying our Cooling Elixir and Anti-Aging Face Cream (am) and our Rejuvenate, Lift & Contour Night Cream (pm). Use throughout the day to refresh skin or when flushing, stinging or redness is felt.
Tip: Rosacea has been tied to Histamine intolerance. Using a natural digestive enzyme that supports histamine intolerance with each meal, will help break down histamines enabling the body to use what is needed and get rid of what is not so it does not build up in the intestines, resulting in rosacea. Used in conjunction with a facial regime made for skin with Rosacea enables healthy, calm skin - naturally.
Note: Skin that is flushed, red or with red bumps on nose, cheeks and forehead should avoid manual exfoliators, scrubs and cleansers with peppermint, menthol, salicylic acid or alcohol and avoid cleansing with washcloths for all of these can cause inflammation (use hands instead to wash or lay a warm washcloth gently onto skin to remove cleanser). It is also helpful to follow a low histamine fresh food diet. If you use foundation, a powder mineral-based makeup is recommended because it doesn't penetrate the skin as a liquid foundation does, but simply sits on top of it, and is less likely to result in additional inflammation.
