Application
Our innovative skin and hair care line requires a new way to use your beauty products. Please be sure to follow directions carefully. In short order, you will be accustomed to this novel method.
Face and Neck Plasters
*Store the plasters in your refrigerator. Use within 3 months.
Our Face and Neck Plasters are designed to be applied in consecutive order: 1) Honey Lime Polenta 2) Papaya Purée 3) Cacao Creme
1. Remove plasters from the refrigerator about an hour before use to bring them to room temperature.
2. Using your application brush, scoop out a large dollop of plaster and gently press and smooth onto sections of your face and neck until the whole surface is completely covered. Each plaster has enough for two to three servings. Repeat the process, pressing with an upward motion to create a thick, layered shield. Depending on your skin sensitivity and its nutritional needs, leave plaster in place from 10 to 40 minutes.
3. To remove, remoisten the plaster with water until it reaches original consistency and use the spatula to carefully wipe away the plaster. Use a wet paper towel or washcloth to remove any remaining plaster. Dispose of the used plaster in the kitchen trash or compost.
4. Do not wash your face. The residue from these formulas will continue their healing powers on your skin. Apply Vitamin C Accelerator followed by Morning or Evening Face & Body Balms to lock in the plasters’ nutrients onto your skin barrier!
PLASTER #1
Honey Lime Polenta Application

Seal in the Nutrients
Follow the Face & Neck Plasters with the Grapefruit Glacé Morning Face & Body Balm or Bergamot Beurre Evening Face & Body Balm as a sealant to lock in the plasters’ nutrients onto your skin barrier.
Scalp and Hair Plaster
*Store the plaster in your refrigerator. Use within 3 months.
1. Remove scalp and hair plaster from the refrigerator an hour before use to bring it to room temperature.
2. Start the process with dry hair, separated into small sections. Using your fingertips, scoop out a large dollop of plaster, and gently massage it into your scalp, pressing down to the ends of each strand. Repeat this system until your full head of hair and scalp are saturated with the plaster. Use the entire serving of the plaster as needed.
3. Depending on your hair’s health and nutritional needs, leave plaster in place from 1 hour to overnight.
4. To remove, do not get hair wet! Apply a generous amount of shampoo directly onto plastered hair, from scalp to ends. Then add a small amount of water to create a light lather. Proceed to shampoo hair as usual, rinsing thoroughly until water runs clear. A second shampooing may be needed. Follow up with conditioner if desired.
Application
Apply hair plaster onto small sections of dry hair and scalp until saturated.
Removal
To remove, apply shampoo directly onto plastered hair. Then shampoo as usual.

Sweet Almond Rosehip Brine Body Polish

Hibiscus Rosemary Compote Hair & Scalp Fortifier
*Store the compote in your refrigerator. Use within 3 months.
1. Remove scalp and hair compote from the refrigerator an hour before use to bring it to room temperature.
2. Apply the compote in the shower to dry scalp and hair. Leave in for 5-10 minutes.
3. Rinse hair thoroughly. Shampoo and condition hair as usual.
Face & Body Balms
S H I M M E R C H E F Morning and Evening Face and Body Balms are designed for your entire body. These luxurious and healing balms are non-comedogenic. The balms glide on easily and will appear oily until nutrient absorption is complete.
1. For best results, remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to using. Apply a liberal amount to your body soon after showering to seal in moisture, armoring your skin while creating a slight shimmer. Apply a lesser amount of the balm to your face, depending on its hydration and nutritional needs.
2. Alternatively, use your spatula to scoop out chilled balms and warm the product in your hands and then apply.
3. Apply balms after completing the Face and Neck Plaster routine and then the Vitamin C Accelerator Serum to retain maximum nutrient availability and to create a protective covering. Your face and neck will require a much smaller amount of balm, for a healthy, radiant glow.
