Ahhh!!!!! I can not WAIT to try this. I’ll reply with an update about how it feels but lets just start with the smell and the texture. AMAZING. Just cracking the jar takes you to aroma heaven. The flowers are so beautifully blended into such a smooth fine texture. I was worried about the petals/etc being to large or uneven to use on a regular basis but this is actually a very consistent texture (and much finer than tea) – you’ll definitely be able to use it fine. Finally, the packaging, SO inSANELY cute. This came in the mail and the whole package was arranged like a care package – i love being able to unwrap each thing and discover something new, plus I’m pretty sure Lydia even lightly scented the stickers she used to aid the packaging. (I opened up the package and this delightful scent filled the air – I couldn’t tell where from til I smelled the stickers on the packaging!). Seriously, talk about a master craftsperson! I feel so pampered!

Thank you so much Lisa! This is truly one of my favorite products to make because it takes me to aroma heaven too! I grind each component separately to ensure that they all have a fine, even texture. The layers are so pretty and then just like a mandala, it all gets mixed up. This product is so gentle you can use it as often as you like and there’s really no wrong way to use it. I hope you enjoy your facial smoother as much as I love making it!

I love this! It exfoliates very gently and doesn’t irritate my super sensitive skin. It’s an easy ritual that feels super luxe, I’ll definitely get this again and again.
