As the season change and temperatures drop, our skin and senses feel the effects of the increase of air and ether elements (Vata).
Wind, cold air and heating dry out the skin, causing dehydration, skin flakiness and a dull complexion. Combat these skin complaints through lifestyle changes, one of them being to use the right skin care, which will provide plenty of nurture and nourishment.
Care for Your Body and Shrug Off the Winter Blues
We advise the daily application of our Relief Blend, which combines a unique complex of strengthening and rejuvenating essential oils to bring relief to tired and sore bodies, along with preventing any flu-like symptoms. Subtle Energies Relief Blend (pacifies Vata and Kapha symptoms) eases muscle discomfort and provides a warming sensation to the body, while offering a protective layer from wind and cold.
Warming oils such as Kapha, Vata and Rasayana are also ideal for winter rejuvenation.
Nurturing the Body and Soul
Enrich your experience by combining a Subtle Energies blend with a cream. The same way you would apply a serum under your moisturiser, you can add a body oil under your double cream or lotion for a more intensive treatment and nourishment.
