As we transition into late summer, Elemental Herbology believes that it’s essential to adjust our self-care routines to align with the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
In TCM, late summer is governed by the Earth element, a time associated with stability, transition and harmony. This season encourages us to ground ourselves and prepare for the changes ahead.
The Earth element symbolises nurturing, balance, and the transition between seasons. Late summer is a period when our bodies crave harmony and support, particularly in the afternoon when Earth energy is most active. As Earth people are natural nurturers and peacemakers, it’s crucial to focus on practices that enhance these qualities.
To help you embrace the Earth element, Elemental Herbology offers a range of products designed to nourish and balance your skin and body. Here’s how each product can support you during this late summer season:
This dual-action exfoliator uses gentle chemical exfoliators to remove dead skin cells, so you can enjoy softer, smoother and more luminous skin. Ideal for weekly use to encourage cell renewal, it contains natural AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) from apple, papaya, and orange to gently exfoliate the skin. Kombucha creates a lipo-filling effect without surgery, enhancing the skin’s smoothness and radiance, while Sepitonic, a multi-vitamin energiser, activates cellular metabolism to revitalize and renew the skin.
Awaken tired eyes with this energising eye roller serum. This vegan formulation is infused with a powerful blend of actives and botanicals to brighten, hydrate and de-puff the delicate eye area.
Meiview, a fermented complex, aids collagen production, firms the eye area, reduces dark circles and diminishes puffiness. Kombucha improves the skin’s smoothness and radiance, while niacinamide, a vitamin B3 complex, improves discoloration and boosts radiance for flawless, nourished skin.
