STEP 1 | Cleanse with intention
Cleansing is more than a daily ritual - it is the foundation of skin health and a moment of renewal. Our approach honours the skin’s natural rhythms, using nourishing oils, hydrosols and whole plant extracts to gently lift away impurities while preserving the integrity of your lipid barrier and microbiome.
Unlike traditional foaming cleansers that strip the skin, leaving it vulnerable to irritation and dehydration, oil cleansing works in harmony with your skin’s own protective oils. It dissolves excess sebum, sunscreen, makeup, and environmental buildup without disrupting your skin’s delicate balance. With time, this method restores resilience, softness, and glow, allowing the skin to recalibrate and thrive.
When transitioning to Mäesi Apothecary’s cleansing rituals, your skin may need time to adjust - shedding past imbalances and rebuilding its natural defences. Trust the process. True nourishment happens in layers, unfolding gently over time.
Treat cleansing as an act of gentle care. Take a moment to massage each offering into your skin with slow, intentional movements, following the lymphatic pathways to encourage flow and release stagnation. Feel the warmth of your hands, the richness of botanical extracts, and the quiet restoration taking place beneath your fingertips. This is more than cleansing - it is an offering to yourself, a daily ritual of renewal, nourishment, and balance.
