day and night
This is my own personal ritual, detailing what a week of care might look like for both morning and night. Let this be your starting point, adapting with playfulness to meet the unique needs of your individual skin as it shifts and evolves throughout the seasons and with the fluxes of life.
Should you crave additional guidance with product recommendations and a rhythm tailored to your specific goals and challenges, I invite you to connect with us at care@maylindstrom.com and tell us about yourself. Welcome to our family!
Monday
a.m.
Start the week in the shower, activating one true tsp. of The Clean Dirt with just shy of equal parts water to form a soft mousse. Massage into steam-softened, damp skin with the pads of your fingertips, allowing the treatment to sit for a few minutes. Face into the water to rinse the formula away easily, massaging as you go.
Continue this massage for at least another minute after the grains have been rinsed clear - often, you can feel dead skin releasing at your fingertips in this step.
Melt a plump pea-sized portion of The Blue Cocoon and 2-3 pumps of The Youth Dew into your wet skin, being sure to include the eye area and lips. Saturate skin with The Jasmine Garden and massage face, neck, and décolleté lovingly to complete.
Before you exit the shower, while skin is still wet, indulge in The Happy Galaxy from head to toe. After pressing your wet hands together to trigger the vitamin actives, massage 4 pumps into legs and feet, repeating with arms, chest, belly, and back. Try smoothing an extra pump through wet hair for lushly aromatic hydration.
p.m.
Distribute 4-6 pumps of The Pendulum Potion into palms. Press into dry skin, then wet hands and massage. Follow by cocooning our warm, damp Facial Steam Cloth over face and neck, gently sweeping upwards. Hold, rinse, and repeat until skin is soft and cleansed.
To enhance your cleanse and feed goodness right back in, follow with The Honey Mud, massaging a fat, blueberry-sized dollop into wet skin to emulsify into a silky cleansing milk.
Finish with a blend of The Blue Cocoon, The Youth Dew, and The Jasmine Garden, massaging all three as one into your warm, wet skin for the deepest possible absorption.

Tuesday
a.m.
If it feels good, skip a morning cleanser altogether today, massaging instead with warm water only or simply a generous misting of The Jasmine Garden.
Alternatively, massage a fat, blueberry-sized dollop of The Honey Mud into wet skin to emulsify into a silky, ultra-luscious enzyme cleanse.
Follow by massaging The Youth Dew over face, neck, and décolleté while skin is fully WET, warm, and at its most receptive. Pat The Blue Cocoon around the eye area, over lips, and any areas of dehydration. Finish with a final mist of The Jasmine Garden, pressing into skin.
p.m.
Cleanse skin with The Pendulum Potion and our Facial Steam Cloth, then brush on 1 Tbsp. of The Problem Solver blended with equal parts water and a generous dollop of The Honey Mud to form a rich, pudding-like treatment. Leave on for 30-45 minutes or until dry, then hop in a quick shower to rinse away easily.
While still in the shower, hydrate face, neck, and décolleté with a generous portion of The Blue Cocoon followed by The Youth Dew and The Jasmine Garden, massaging everything together.
Before reaching for your towel, give your body a joyful and nourishing refresh with The Happy Galaxy, hydrating from the neck down. After shaking bottle, dispense 4-6 pumps into wet hands, pressing between palms to trigger the vitamin actives, and massage from toes to hips, repeating generously over your upper body.
Wednesday
a.m.
In the shower, blend one tsp. of The Clean Dirt with equal parts water in your palm to bring to a fizzing mousse consistency. Add in 6 pumps of The Pendulum Potion, mixing together, then massage over your warm, damp skin. Allow this duo to work its magic for a few minutes before rinsing.

p.m.
Melt a small grape-sized portion of The Blue Cocoon (our star multitasks in countless ways!) between the palms before smoothing over dry skin, massaging to gently dissolve makeup and environmental debris. Follow by cocooning our warm, damp Facial Steam Cloth over face and neck, gently sweeping upwards. Hold, rinse, and repeat until skin is soft and cleansed.
Follow by smoothing The Honey Mud richly over clean, dry skin for a luscious, cell-reviving treatment, leaving it to work its magic from a few minutes up to an hour before rinsing clear as you massage with the pads of your fingertips.
Finish with a loving massage with several pumps of The Youth Dew massaged into fully wet skin. Take your time. Complete with The Jasmine Garden and more massage.

Begin your morning with The Honey Mud, massaging into your wet skin with the pads of your fingertips before rinsing thoroughly.

Pat additional Blue Cocoon around the eye area, over lips, and any areas of dryness or dehydration.
Finish your ritual by misting The Jasmine Garden head to toe to revive and refresh skin, hair, and body.
