I bottled all my favorite nostalgic elements of celebratory holiday baking and coziness! There is a warm scent of cinnamon and ginger cookies, with layers of cocoa and vanilla and spicy herbiness that transport me to the Ayurvedic treatments of the East. To me, The Clean Dirt smells like joy and cherished hugs.

We recommend enjoying The Clean Dirt every second or third day, adapting as your skin evolves with the seasons inside and around us. 

A good starting point is to introduce The Clean Dirt as often as you shampoo, linking your treatments to your hair care so you never forget! Apply and rinse while in the bath or shower for zero mess and enhanced efficacy (steam-softened skin prior to your treatments is a win)!

This formula removes light makeup and daily grime. 

The Clean Dirt is an exfoliant and should not be used on the eye area. If you wear eye makeup, foundation, or sunscreen, cleanse and prep skin with The Pendulum Potion prior to your treatment with The Clean Dirt. 

In the mornings and when skin is bare, you may go straight to The Clean Dirt without using an additional cleanser.

Proper exfoliation is key for those with dehydrated skin.

Dehydration often stems from stagnation in the skin and a compromised barrier. This prevents  the balanced production of your own natural oils or absorption of your moisturizers. 

If your skin is particularly sensitive: 
•Begin with 1x/weekly use - and be sure to explore our step-by-step ritual for sensitive skin. 
•Use a true measured teaspoon of powder and equal parts water to achieve a soft mousse texture.
•Brush the formula on gently. Additional manual exfoliation through massage can be added as skin health increases.
•Add cushion and hydration by adding several pumps of The Pendulum Potion to your pre-mixed mousse portion. 
•Allow to sit for a minute or two and rinse in the shower for greatest ease and least friction. Avoid rubbing, scrubbing, and face cloths. 
•Follow each treatment immediately with The Youth Dew and/or The Blue Cocoon while skin is still warm, wet, and in its most receptive state for the ultimate benefit.

This lush and fizzy blend is a sensorial feast that makes skin GLOW.

I lean towards a blend of The Clean Dirt and The Honey Mud on days my skin feels dehydrated, stressed, or sensitive, but I'm still craving effective exfoliation and the energy revival that only The Clean Dirt can bring.

Using our treatment brush and bowl, combine: 
•1 measured teaspoon of The Clean Dirt
•Just shy of 1 teaspoon water or The Jasmine Garden

Bring to a fizzing mousse consistency and incorporate 1 teaspoon of The Honey Mud.

Brush this mixture over clean skin, massaging in small circular motions with the soft pads of your fingertips. You can leave from just seconds up to 20 minutes before rinsing clear in the shower, turning into the steam to wash away easily and with pleasure. 

You may also add several pumps of The Pendulum Potion for a surge of moisture and an elevated sensorial experience. 

*note: The natural salicylic acid via the wintergreen extract in The Honey Mud will amplify the exfoliating effects of The Clean Dirt when combined within your ritual. Introduce product blends thoughtfully, and feel free to connect with us at care@maylindstrom.com for personalized guidance as you explore. 

These two extraordinary and complementary formulas are actually quite different from each other in functionality and experience. 

The Clean Dirt is a brightening exfoliant, great for easing congestion, discoloration, hyperpigmentation, reducing post-acne spots and bringing major glow. I use this every 2-3 days, or about as often as I shampoo, always in the shower and typically in the morning. 

The Problem Solver is a warming treatment masque. It reduces and prevents breakouts, calms inflammation, lessens redness, evens tone, and generally solves all your problems. I use this once or twice a week, every week, typically alternating treatment days with The Clean Dirt. I typically mask evenings, but will fit in treatments wherever is possible. 

Both The Clean Dirt and The Problem Solver offer the very best of themselves when enjoyed consistently and alongside the other.
