How to use
The Ritual:
In the morning, warm a quarter-sized amount of Calendula Essential Hydrating Cream SPF 30 between your hands and press evenly onto your face, neck, and décolleté.
The Enhanced Ritual:
To ensure complete, lasting coverage: Reapply SPF every 2 hours to maintain optimum UV protection. Swimming or exercising outdoors? Reapply directly after physical activity.
For Maximum Holistic Results:
To increase antioxidant protection: Layering a Vitamin C product (like Vitamin C Revitalizing Lotion or Vitamin C15 Wrinkle Remedy Serum) under your SPF can optimize protection. That’s because as an antioxidant, Vitamin C protects against free radical damage from UV rays, plus pollution and fine dust particles that can clog pores and harm skin.
To protect recently exfoliated skin: If you’ve just done a peel or scrub, your skin is even more sensitive to UV damage than normal. Apply SPF liberally for 48 hours after your enzyme treatment or exfoliation, taking care to ensure high-exposure areas like the forehead and nose are completely covered. Don’t forget your lips, which are one of the most common (and least noticed) places for sun damage. A lip balm with UV protection can go a long way, reapplied about once an hour.
Known for its hearty yellow flowers and calming floral scent, Calendula is an ancient healing ingredient that's used in sacred Hindu ceremonies. Alchemists in medieval Europe used it to soothe dry or irritated skin.
