Less is more...

I know you all hear me professing my love for Dr. Hauschka, most times on a daily basis.  As a skincare professional, I have worked with several product lines, all of which have their merit.  However, no skincare line has nurtured, nourished and returned my skin to its natural glory than Dr. Hauschka.

First a little background.  The Dr. Hauschka skincare line is a German line developed by Dr. Rudolf Hauschka and Elizabeth Sigmund.  Most of the plants that go into the product are grown on WALA's bio dynamic farm, and are hand harvested and hand processed, with the exception of the roses and Shea Butter, which are grown on fair trade bio dynamic farms in warmer climates.  The idea, is that the product and ritual will return your skin to it's natural function.  No use for exfoliaters, or heavy night creams.

So, how does it work?  In the morning, you cleanse, tone and moisturize.  It's simple, and it works.  The cleansing cream is a gentle, deep cleanser that gently lifts out impurities and gently exfoliates the skin.  This is not a scrub, even though it may feel like one.  The idea is that with wet hands, you press, and roll your hands over your skin, listening for a squishing sound.  After three passes over your skin, you rinse, tone and moisturize, pressing each product into your skin, not rubbing.  Your skin will be rosier, clearer, and more balanced.  After a month, your skin will have gotten back to its natural rhythm.  It will be producing and healing and functioning at its highest level.

The facials are an other worldly experience.  Focus is on quality of touch and lymph stimulation.  They range from an hour to two hours, the Classic Treatment being the two hour treatment that is recommended four times a year with the change of the seasons.

I've struggled with my skin, adult acne, hyper pigmentation, texture issues, rosacea, psoriasis, and I've been through all of the treatments ranging from retin-a to cetephil to peels.  Nothing has healed my skin so easily and without all of the miserable side effects.  

Are you ready to leave your old skincare behind and begin a voyage towards your healthiest skin?
