Bringing Skin Care Back to Earthly Basics

Phytobiodermie ensures healthy skin between seasons with energetic Earth products.

Did you know that there are five seasons per year, not four? The ancient Chinese believed so, and have aligned this fifth season to the Earth Element in the centuries-old Chinese Five Element Theory.

According to Five Element principles, each Element is associated with a season, a color and specific esthetic conditions. The transitional Earth season is nestled between winter, spring, summer and fall. It is most often associated with the “Indian Spring”. Actually, the seasonal energetic transition occurs four times a year for a duration of 18 days each, and is represented by the color yellow.

Phytobiodermie has formed a complete Earth skin care line that can be used during the transitional Earth season and also to treat Earth-related skin conditions, that include enlarged pores, blemishes and acneic tendencies. The Earth line of energetic products helps rid the skin of toxins while balancing the body’s internal energy, or “chi.” The Earth line consists of products to used with one of Phytobiodermie’s cleansers:

Earth Purifying Toner – a mild, non-alcoholic tonic that helps clear acne and minimize pores while releasing toxic material. Contains essences of algae, lemon, eucalyptus, lavender, peppermint, niaouli, rosemary and thyme.

Earth Phyt’Ether – a potent blend of colored essential oils in a grape-seed oil base that helps rid skin of blemish-causing toxic build-up. To be used prior to the Yellow Clay Mask. Primary ingredients: orange, lemon, and cypress oils.

Yellow Clay Mask – smooth yellow clay, infused with an energetic combination of pure essential oils, that helps normalize skin’s balance with its antiseptic and detoxifying qualities. Primary ingredients: clay, kaolin, lemon, and cypress

Ceresal Millet (Day Cream) – a protection cream that shields skin from climatic Earth season aggressions, especially during the “Indian Summer.” Leaves skin clear and renewed. Primary ingredients: millet extract, aloe, and verbena oil.

Night Element Cream – a nighttime cream that promotes cellular regeneration and repair. Primary ingredients: millet extract, aloe, verbena oil, and vitamin E.

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.
