Prepare for Spring

Swiss-based Phytobiodermie combines the energetic concept of traditional Chinese medicine and the best of nature to create a complete skincare line for the spring.

For most, Spring time means the arrival of fresh flowers, wind and yes, showers. But to Phytobiodermie, a skincare line based on the traditional Chinese elements, Spring harkens the arrival of the Wood season (or “Energetic Spring”). The “Energetic” Spring season runs from February 5 to March 16.

According to Chinese tradition, Wood, one of the five Elements, is associated with a color (Green), a season (Spring), two body organs (the liver and gall bladder), specific skin conditions (such as oily skin), a sound, a taste, an emotion and more. Based on this philosophy, Phytobiodermie has created a full Wood skin care line. Wood products are ideal for both the “energetic” Spring season and at any time during the year for anyone with for Wood-related skin conditions, such as oily skin or hyperpigmentation.

Phytobiodermie’s line of Wood skincare products, to be applied after cleansing, includes:

• Wood Clarifying Toner – a pleasant tonic lotion without alcohol ideal for the Spring season. Energy-balancing Wood products are especially beneficial for oily skin with blackheads, impurities or hyperpigmentation. Primary ingredients: algae, sage, lavender, rosemary and thyme. Use after cleansing.

• Wood Phyt’Ether – an energetic blend of colored essential oils in a grape-seed oil base. This concentrated elixir can be applied directly to skin as an intensive treatment. It is particularly appropriate to apply before the Green Clay Mask. Use on oily skin and skin with impurities, such as blackheads and hyperpigmentation. Primary ingredients: lemon, cypress and rosemary oils.

• Green Clay Mask – an energetic blend of green clay and natural essential oils. Its astringent qualities make it a recommended treatment for skin with large pores and oily skin with blackheads. Primary ingredients: clay, kaolin, rosemary, lemon and cypress oil.

This mineralizing lotion should be applied daily to the face and neck areas after cleansing and toning, before the application of a treatment or finishing cream.

About Phytobiodermie

The Phytobiodermie Method evolved in the sixties as the energetic principles of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) were widely embraced in Europe. Focusing on the energetic value of natural ingredients, particularly pure essential oils mixed with algae, clay and other minerals, Phytobiodermie pioneered an effective and holistic approach to skin care. Phytobiodermie also includes energetic drainage in its treatment protocols, supported by light therapy to enhance energetic balance.

Phytobiodermie products are made in Switzerland, and are animal product- and cruelty-free. Phytobiodermie is available in more than 20 countries around the world.
