Herbal Honey Mask: Reiki-infused Exfoliant

$25.55

Herbal Honey Mask is a deeply purifying, reiki-infused exfoliant that targets blemishes, dark spots, scars, and signs of aging. This blend of organic raw honey, manuka oil, organic essential oils, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid nourishes and rejuvenates. The result? A radiant, youthful complexion that feels soft and smooth.

Nature’s Ingredients for a Golden Glow

  • Raw Honey: A time-honored healing nectar with natural antibacterial and antioxidant properties reduces blemishes, heals scars and dark spots, and combats signs of aging, while shielding your skin from free radicals*. Honey’s rich antioxidants and natural enzymes draw out impurities and dead skin cells, cleanse without stripping natural oils, soothe inflammation, and its humectant properties lock in moisture for a soft, dewy glow.

  • Vitamin C: Brightens complexion, fades dark spots, and evens skin tone by boosting collagen production. Vitamin C is essential for firm, youthful-looking skin (Pullar et al., 2017).

  • Hyaluronic Acid: Deeply hydrates, plumping the skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while creating a smooth, supple texture.

  • Manuka Oil: Rare essential oil harvested from the Manuka plant, which is only native to New Zealand, offers remarkable benefits for acne, aging, and skin healing. Known for its antimicrobial action, manuka oil effectively targets acne-causing bacteria, reducing breakouts. Renowned anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritated, sensitive skin and expedite scar healing. Additionally, manuka oil contains powerful antioxidants that protect against oxidative stress, helping to prevent premature skin aging and maintain elasticity, supporting a clear, youthful complexion (Mathew et al., 2020). 

  • Tea Tree Essential Oil: Fights acne-causing bacteria, helping to clear blemishes and soothe inflammation (Enshaieh et al., 2007).

  • Lavender Essential Oil: Calms irritation to support skin healing with its anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties, perfect for acne-prone or sensitive skin (Mori et al., 2016).

  • Frankincense Essential Oil: Regenerates skin cells, reduces wrinkles and scars, and boosts elasticity for a firmer, brighter complexion (Kotb et al., 2023).

  • Eucalyptus Essential Oil: Purifies pores and balances oil production to reduce puffiness and clear blemishes, leaving skin feeling clean and refreshed.

  • Lemon Essential Oil: Naturally brightens skin, helps lighten dark spots, and treats acne and rosacea with its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties (Nurzyńska-Wierdak et. al., 2022).

  • Rosemary Essential Oil: Studies show rosemary oil has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-carcinogenic properties, which help boost circulation, combat free radicals, minimize scarring, and promote a healthy, even-toned complexion (Bangaru et al., 2022).

*Free radicals can cause oxidative stress, which has been linked to inflammatory processes, chronic illnesses, aging, and the development of acne. (Bungau et. al., 2022).

*We are dedicated to using high-quality, organic ingredients. Although some ingredients may not be available in organic form, we ensure our commitment to natural excellence remains unwavering.

Exfoliation Ritual

Get sticky with it! Apply about a tablespoon of this gooey goodness to your clean, dry face, avoiding eyes. Spread on a thick, sticky layer and let the honey work its magic for an hour, deeply cleansing, exfoliating, and nourishing your skin. Rinse with lukewarm water, finishing with a splash of cold to close your pores and lock in moisture.

Pro tip: Apply the honey mask about an hour before your shower for an easy rinse-off.

For sensitive skin, start with once weekly use, gradually increasing to two or three times weekly for a beautifully balanced complexion.

For optimal results, follow with Clear Complexion Cleanser, Pampered Pores Toner Rounds, and Nature’s Glow Acne & Anti-Aging Cream to complete your glowing skincare routine.

Why Natural & Organic Matter

The skin is our largest organ—a dynamic, living barrier that protects, nourishes, and supports the rest of our body.

But what most people forget is that the skin absorbs anything you put on it — good or bad — directly into your bloodstream.

This makes your daily choices in skincare profoundly impactful—not just for your skin, but for your overall health.

Many exfoliants on the market are loaded with minimally regulated chemicals silently wreaking havoc on your body.  

The Hidden Toxins in Skincare: A Wake-Up Call

  • Parabens: A common preservative that disrupts hormones by mimicking estrogen, and is linked to breast cancer, reproductive issues, and premature aging due to their interference with collagen synthesis (Darbre & Harvey, 2008).

  • Artificial Fragrances: Often masking a cocktail of up to 4,000 chemicals, these “fragrances” can lead to irritation, hormone imbalance, and even cancer.

  • Phthalates: Common in beauty products to increase flexibility in plastics, phthalates are linked to hormonal disruptions, birth defects, and fertility problems. They have also been shown to accumulate in the body, increasing toxicity over time (Hauser et al., 2006).

  • PFAs (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances): Dubbed "forever chemicals," PFAs are used in skincare and cosmetics to increase product spreadability and water resistance. However, PFAs are linked to serious health concerns, including hormone disruption, immune system suppression, and an increased risk of cancer. Studies have also shown that these chemicals persist in the environment and can accumulate in human tissue over time (Whitehead et. al, 2021).

Choosing natural, toxin-free alternatives ensures your skin—and your body—are not burdened by these harmful ingredients. Your skin, overall health, the environment, and the wellness of our future generations thank you.

Reiki-Infused? The Meaning & Benefits

Reiki is an energy healing practice that channels universal life energy to restore balance and promote well-being. As a certified Reiki Master, I personally infuse each jar of Herbal Honey with Reiki’s healing energy. Here’s what that means for you:

  • Holistic Self-Care: Each jar is infused with Reiki energy, guided by my intention to support your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This intentional process imbues the honey mask with a loving, restorative energy tailored to encourage balance and renewal.

  • Amplified Healing Properties: Reiki elevates the natural properties of the honey mask’s ingredients, enhancing their ability to hydrate, soothe irritation, promote repair, and deeply nourish your skin.

  • Energetic Purity: Through the Reiki process, any stagnant or unwanted energies that may linger in the materials are thoroughly cleansed, ensuring every application is a pure and energetically balanced experience.

  • Supports Stress Relief: Reiki energy is known for its calming effects, helping to soothe not only the skin but also the mind, reducing stress, which is often a contributing factor to many skin conditions and more rapidly aging skin.

  • Energetic Alignment for Balance: Reiki works to harmonize the body’s energy centers, supporting the body’s natural healing processes.
