How To Use Mokosh Skin Care
Mokosh skin care is formulated without water, so that preservatives and other additives are not required for their stability. This means our moisturisers are up to 5 times the concentration of standard skin care, which typically contains between 50-80% water. For this reason, you need apply as little as one fifth the amount you would normally use. When using on the face, apply while the skin is moist to aid the spread of the cream or face oil. Similarly, apply to the body while the skin is slightly moist, or apply to dry skin and massage a little longer than usual to achieve a thin spread.
Our face cleanser, also formulated without water, is in the form of a powder, and mixed with water or hydrosol just before use. This method activates ingredients at the time of application, bringing potent enzyme, vitamin and antioxidant activity to your skin.
Below is a suggested regime for use of Mokosh products.
DAILY FACE RITUAL
Remove makeup with Organic Makeup Remover using an organic cotton wipe.
Mix approximately 1 teaspoon of Face Cleansing Powder with water or Pure Hydrosol Toner in your cupped hand or a small bowl, to the consistency of a smooth paste. Massage gently over the face in small circular motions. If desired, leave to dry on the skin for 10-15 minutes as a mask once or twice weekly. Rinse away thoroughly with water, then wipe the face clean with a wet face cloth. Face Cleansing Powder may be used once or twice daily. It cleans and gently exfoliates, leaving the skin fresh, clean and receptive to moisturiser.
Spray the face and neck with Pure Hydrosol Toner, and immediately apply a few drops of Natural Face Oil suitable to your skin type or a small dab of Rich Face Cream. Oils should be massaged over face and neck using upward strokes, while Rich Face Cream and Light Face Cream should be warmed in the hands and pressed gently onto the skin. You should apply approximately one fifth the amount you would use of a normal moisturiser, and applying to moist skin helps spread and dilute the oil or cream. If the skin feels oily after a few minutes, blot excess, and apply less moisturiser next time.
Apply one drop of Eye and Neck Serum to each ringfinger, then dab gently over the delicate skin surrounding the eyes, from the outer corner of the eye inwards.
Our recently introduced Nourishing Face Treatment is a nutritious boost suitable for all skin types. Packed with raw superfoods, it leaves the skin incredibly plump and revitalised. A once weekly treatment would do wonders.
BODY CARE
To maintain skin in beautiful condition, use Exfoliating Body Massage once weekly. Apply to wet skin immediately after bathing, massage all over, then briefly rinse to wash away remaining powder. Alternatively, do spot treatments on dry or wet skin - simply massage well into the skin and rinse away. The grains exfoliate and soften the skin, whilst the oils and butters leave it beautifully soft and moisturised.
Shea Body Butters are designed for very dry, rough areas, being extremely rich in unrefined shea butter, but may be used all over the body. Body Moisturiser and our new Light Body Moisturiser are lighter and more easily applied. Apply sparingly to lightly moist skin to aid spread of the moisturising butters and oils, or to dry skin and massage thoroughly. These body creams are extremely nourishing and protective, leaving the skin beautifully soft.
MIND-BODY
Designed for people who need to take time out for themselves, this range helps the body relax and the mind rebalance, thereby replenishing inner reserves. A small amount of time spent looking after yourself will be repaid many times over in an improved state of mind.
Mokosh Organic Bath Bombs are a relaxing, indulgent treat for your body, the essential oils calm and balance the mind and are safe for children. Add one tablet to a warm bath. Leaves the skin incredibly soft and moisturised.
Balancing Hair Treatment conditions the scalp and hair in the most natural way. Warm the oil to body temperature and massage over the scalp for around 5 minutes, rubbing a little into the ends of the hair. Draw the hair into a shower cap and then wrap in a warm towel for 30 minutes. Rinse and shampoo. Condition if desired.
Our Cooling and Warming Massage Oils are formulated on Ayruvedic principles. You can massage your body yourself (see our website for full instructions) or have a friend or professional perform the massage for you. Massage soothes mind and body and tones muscles, leaving you feeling invigorated yet peaceful.
